1 Claim, 8 Drawing Figures Patented July 25, 1972 FIG.5
INVBJTORS DIANE G. REYNOIRG PENELOPE B. DELESDERNIER wMM M *KM ATTORNEYS DEVICE FOR HOLDING MODERN ATTRACTIVE I'IAIRDOS The present invention relates to a method and device for forming and holding attractive modern hairdos in simple steps and by a simple form of device.
Another object of the invention is to provide an implement that will both hold the hairdo when completed and contribute to the evolution of same throughout major steps of the method of forming same.
A further object of the invention is to ease the work of beauty shop operatives and at the same time to make for more sophisticated and attractive hairdos and decorations.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention will be more fully described hereinafter, and will be more particularly pointed out in the claims appended hereto.
In the drawings, wherein like symbols refer to like or corresponding parts throughout the several views:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a form of device for carrying out the invention.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the same.
FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the implement taken on the line 33 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is an end view of the device taken from the lower end thereof.
FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8 are rear views of the human female head showing the steps of a method in arriving at a particular hairdo involving the tool ofthe invention.
Referring more particularly to FIGS. 1 to 4 of the drawings, a form of tool or device suggestive for carrying out the steps of the method is shown in which 10 and 11 designate elongated prongs preferably of substantially flat rectangular section spaced apart at lower ends thereof and throughout their lengths and having a cross bar connection 12 at upper ends to define a limit stop for arresting the device in its penetration into a hair mass. This connection 12 is preferably of the same thickness with the prongs and in one piece therewith and may be curved in an arc, the inner portion of which faces the free ends of the prongs. The prongs are preferably of the order of somewhat over 4 inches in length and preferably include wave sections 13 and 14 for reacting with the penetrated hair mass to avoid working of the device out of the mass. The prongs are open at their lower ends and for all purposes substantially rigid I being preferably rectangular in cross section.
In addition, the tool or device preferably incorporates a handle, in the instance illustrated formed by the extensions 15 and 16 of the prongs l0 and II, the cross bar connection 12 and a yoke member 17 which is preferably curvilinear, for instance on a radius similar to that of the cross bar connection 12 but spaced substantially therefrom whereby the so called handle will project from the wave or hair mass a substantial distance.
The prongs l0 and 11, their extensions 15 and 16, cross bar connection [2 and handle l5, l6 and 17 may be made of one of the precious metals and/or be jeweled if desired to suitably ornament the device and add attractiveness to the utility of the device, the entire handle portion of which projects from the hair mass for convenient grasping and withdrawal at any time.
The two spaced cross connections 12 and 17, together with the prong extensions I5 and 16 form an open area for insertion of the fingers of the operator or an implement by which the device may be more conveniently inserted, reversed and later withdrawn.
The yoke member may be given any attractive form to add to the value, ease of operation and ornamental characteristic of the device.
In the use of the device, reference is made more particularly to FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8.
According to FIG. 5, the long prevailing hair is gathered together in one or both hands with the left hand for instance holding the hair at the rear base of the head while the right hand grabs the hair near the ends and twists same upward in either direction, The twist is then held securely against the head and intervening mass of free hair at the back of the head,
asshown in FIG 5.
Next the device IS inserted in the twist near its upper free end and the prongs l3 and I4 are also inserted lightly in the mass of hair at the back of the head, as shown in FIG. 6.
Thereafter the engaged device is shifted from the position of FIG. 6 to that of FIG. 7 merely by turning the device over from the position of FIG. 6 to that of FIG. 7, in which action the device acts as a lever shifting the twist further over the hair on the back of the head, whereupon the device is pushed further or home through both the twist and mass of head hair, locking the twist in place with the back hair of the head, all as shown in FIG. 7. The device may then be pushed home in the twist and head hair as shown in FIG. 8 where the device has locked the twist in place. v
The device may be pushed to any degree in the hair up to the cross bar connection 12 which will leave the yoke members l5, l6 and 17 exposed as a handle and a decorative creation in the mass of hair.
What is claimed is:
l. A device for holding a hairdo comprising:
permanently spaced elongated rigid prongs of the order of 4 inches in length open at one end;
a rigid nontlexing handle to which said prongs are connected at their other ends;
a limit bar cross-stop extending across said handle to limit the degree of penetration of the prongs into a mass of hair;
and wave sections in each prong between said handle and their free ends to retain the device in the hairdo;
said prongs, handle and limit stop being of unitary construction and all being rigid so that said prongs cannot be pried apart.

Claims (1)

1. A device for holding a hairdo comprising: permanently spaced elongated rigid prongs of the order of 4 inches in length open at one end; a rigid nonflexing handle to which said prongs are connected at their other ends; a limit bar cross-stop extending across said handle to limit the degree of penetration of the prongs into a mass of hair; and wave sections in each prong between said handle and their free ends to retain the device in the hairdo; said prongs, handle and limit stop being of unitary construction and all being rigid so that said prongs cannot be pried apart.
