57 ABSTRACT A wiglet holder is disclosed in the form of a fork comprised of a plurality of U-shaped members each including base member having first and second tines extending forwardly with the respective U-shaped members having different length base membersand connected to a supporting member clamped to a table or the like with the tines extending forwardly in parallel relation to receive and retain a wiglet for combing and [56] References Cited UNITED STATES PATENTS 1,396,428 11/1921 Hellman et al 24/261 D X 882,698 3/1908 Lahl 294/55.5 X 3,296,634 1/1967 Rusnak 1 132/9 2,595,235 5/1952 Emrich 1. 269/254 R 3,563,528 2/1971 Campo 269/289 3,477,448 11/1969 PeruskL, 132/9 styling,
FOREIGN PATENTS OR APPLICATIONS 8 C] 3 D F 1,023,193 12/1952 France 294/5-5.5 rawlng WIGLET HOLDER This invention relates to support and retaining means and is specifically directed to a unique means for retaining 'a wiglet in fixed position for combing and styling. Even more specifically, the invention relates to a new and improved wiglet retaining means capable of retaining a wiglet on a flat surface such as a table or the like leaving the users hands completely free for combing and styling of the wiglet.
While numerous devices have evolved for the care and maintenance of wigs with such devices usually comprising a form in representation of the human head connected to a supporting stand or similar member with the wig being placed over the form to enable a combing and styling, no similar devices have been available for supporting wiglets for combing and styling. Wiglets, which are small hair pieces having a relatively flat base portion, are incapable of mounting on conventional wig stands due to their small size and inability. to conform to the supporting member. Consequently, it has been necessary for persons styling wiglets to hold the wiglet in one hand while combing with the other hand. This procedure has not been satisfactory since it is frequently desirable for-a stylist to em ploy both hands in the operation for manipulating the hair, spraying, combing and the like.
Therefore, there has been a hithertofore unmet need, up until the time of the present invention, for means for supporting and retaining a wiglet in a fixed position so as to leave the users hands free for styling, combing and other operations upon the wiglet.
Therefore, it is the primary object of this invention to provide a new and improved means for fixedly supporting a wiglet in position for styling and similar purposes.
' clamp member'which, upon rotation, serves to clamp the support member to the table edge. The tines are inserted through the hair adjacent the base of the wiglet so that the base of the wiglet is held between the tines and the table top or other supporting surface to which the wiglet holder is connected. While the main portion of the tines is spaced above the table top, their forward ends bend downwardly to aid in retaining the wiglet in position.
A better understanding of the subject invention will be achieved when the following detailed description is read in conjunction with the appended drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the invention;
F IG. 2 is a plan view of the preferred embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along lines 3-3 of FIG. 1 illustrating a table edge supporting surface and retaining a wiglet in position.
The preferred embodiment comprises a U-shaped support member 2 comprising a table engaging plate 4 having a lower table engaging surface 4', a side plate 6 and a lower apertured plate 8. A threaded rod 10 having a ball and socket connection to a clamp member .12 on its upper end .is threadably received within a threaded aperture 11 in the lower plate 8. Consequently, the leg 4 and theclamp member 12 serve in an obvious manner to clamp the support member 2 to a table edge or the like T as shown in FIG. 3.
A fork-like member 14 is connected to the support member 2 and is formed of a plurality of U-shaped members welded or otherwise attached to the top surface of the table engaging plate 4.
The first U-shaped member comprises first and second parallel tines 16 connected by a base member 16.
In like manner, the second U-shaped member comprises first and second parallel tines 18 connected by a base member 18'.
Similarly, the third U-shaped member comprises first and second parallel tines 20 connected by a base member 20'. Each of the U-shaped members is unitarily formed with the tines and the respective base members being provided from a single piece of metal.
Each of the tines 16, 18 and 20 is bent downwardly at its forwardmost end as best shown at 22 in FIG. 3. The tines are extendable through the hair H of a wiglet immediately adjacent the base of the wiglet so that the base B is between the tines 16, 18 and 20 and the table top as clearly shown in FIG. 3. The tines are somewhat resilient and serve to retain the wiglet in position during combing and styling. It will be apparent that the wiglet is retained in position so as to leave the users hands free for the combing and styling operation.
The wiglet holder can be formed of plastic, metal or other suitable material and while numerous modifications of the subject invention will undoubtedly occur to those of skill in the art, the spirit and scope of the invention is to be limited solely in light of the appended claims.
I claim:
l. A wiglet holder for fixedly holding a wiglet having a base from which hair extends, said wiglet holder comprising a support member having a table-engaging sur-' face engageable with the top of a table surface, clamp means for clamping said support member to said table surface in a fixed position and a plurality of substantially parallel spaced tines of sufficiently small dimensions and spaced apart a sufficient distance to be interleaved through the hair of the wiglet to hold the wiglet while permitting the wiglet to be combed or otherwise styled, said tines being connected to and extending from said support member a small distance above the table-engaging surface with each of said tines having a forward end termination spaced from said support member and inclined downwardly toward the top of the table surface for clamping the wiglet base to the top of the table surface.
2. The invention of claim 1 wherein said tines are of circular cross-section.
3. The invention of claim 1 wherein said support member comprises a U-shaped member including an upper table-engaging plate having a lower surface engage able with the top of the table and a lower apertured plate, said clamping means including a threaded rod mounted in an aperture in said lower apertured plate.
