POM PADOUR-CO IVIB.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 752,261, dated February 16, 1904.

Application filed September 4,1903. Serial No. 171,902. n model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, J ESSE 1. RICE, a citizen of the United States, and'a resident of New York, county and State of New York, have invented Improvements in Hair-Dressing Devices, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved device adapted to be used by ladies in dressing the hair and which when in use is so arranged and applied to the head as to be entirely'covered by the hair to produce hair dress of pompadour and similar effects.

The device forming the subject of this invention comprises a body portion having a series of teeth adapted to engage with the hair and a bridge-piece extending above the body portion, said bridge-piece being connected at its ends to the ends of the back of the body from which the teeth extend, the whole being preferably made integral and the points of juncture-s of the body and bridge-piece formed with double or reversed curves, so as to afford a somewhat-yielding connection between them and to give the bridge-piece the desired set.

The bridge-piece is also preferably made wider at its central part than at its ends, so as to afford a wide and substantially rigid support for the bunch of hair which is passed over it.

The device as a whole is made flexible and yielding, the body carrying the teeth being adapted to fit snugly to the head on which it is placed, the said bridge-piece by its conformation and connection to the body readily yielding as the body is shaped to the head and forming a flexible arch extending from the ends of the body some distance above the head, but further therefrom at its central part than at its ends.

Reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings in describing my invention more fully.

Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved hair-dressing device. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same, and Fig. 8 illustrates ablank in the flat from which the device is formed.

The device is made of any suitable material stamped or otherwise cut from a flat sheet in substantially the form shown at Fig. 3.

The body portion of the device comprises the back piece a, from which project the combteeth I), the ends of back piece a being extended, as at c 0, which extensions are by the cross-bars (Z cl connected to the ends 6 00f the bridge-piece f. The central part 9 of the bridge-piece f is preferably made wider than the ends (2 c. This blank is by suitable forming apparatus, generally under the influence of heat, bent into curvilinear or arch form, the end extensions 0 c of the back piece a being folded over toward the back piece and again outwardly with double reverse curves, as clearlyshown at Figs. 1 and 2, thus causing the bridge-piece f to assume an arch form above the body portion, the double curves of the connection extensions 0 c causing the ends e'e of the bridge-piece f to lie in suitable re lation to the ends of the body portion and affording a somewhat-yielding connection between the two parts of the device. These end connections 0 c are also preferably given such a set as to cause the widened central part g of the bridge-piece to extend partly over the body portion, as shown at Fig. 2. They also, with the cross-bars d d, project beyond the body portion and alford support for the hair.

The device as a whole is flexible, the body portion, including the teeth, being adapted to fit any size and shaped head, the bridge-piece readily yielding with it as it is applied to the head. The widened central part of the bridgepiece imparts the requisite rigidity thereto to hold the hair placed over it in proper form, and the double-curve end connections so hold the parts, the central part of the bridge-piece being higher or farther away from the head than the ends, that the hair when dressed over the device is caused to assume and retain the correct shape of a natural pompadour.

I claim as my invention 1. A hair-dressing device comprising a body portion having comb teeth throughout its length and a bridge-piece both being formed of one piece of material, said bridge-piece extending above the body portion in the form 1 of an arch with its ends which connect with the ends of the body portion arranged behind the rear edge of the body portion and offset so that the central part of the bridge-piece is directly over the body portion.

2. A hair-dressing device comprising a body portion having comb -teeth throughout its length and a bridge-piece both being formed of one piece of material, said bridge-piece having its central part wider than its ends and extending above the body portion in the form of an arch with its ends which connect with the ends of the body portion arranged behind the rear edge of the body portion and oifset so that the central part of the bridge-piece is directly over the body portion.

3. A hair dressing device, comprising a body portion having comb-teeth and a bridgepiece both being formed of one piece of material, said bridge-piece extending from the ends of and above the body portion in the form of an arch with double reverse connections between the ends of the bridge-piece and the ends of the body portion.

4. A hair dressing device, comprising a body portion having comb-teeth and a bridgepiece both being formed of one piece of material, said bridge-piece having its greatest width at its central part and connected at its ends to the ends of the body portion by double reverse curves.

5. A hair-dressing device, consisting of a body portion comprising comb-teeth extending from a back piece, and a bridge-piece both being connected to end extensions of the back piece, said end extensions being folded over toward the back piece so as to cause the bridgepiece to project in an arch form above and partly over the body portion.

7 '6. A hair dressing device, comprising a body portion having comb-teeth and a bridgepiece both being formed of one piece of material, said bridge-piece extending above the body portion in the form of an arch with its ends which connect with the ends of the body portion projecting downwardly, as free extensions below the ends of the body portion.

7 A hair dressing device, comprising a body portion having comb-teeth and a bridgepiece both being formed of one piece of material, said bridge-piece extending from the ends of and above the body portion in the form of an arch with double reverse connections between the ends of the bridge-piece and the ends of the body portion, the ends of the bridge-piece and connections projecting below the body portion.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name this Qd day of September,

JESSE I. RICE.
