The present invention relates to a curler for a permanent wave.

More particularly, the present invention relates to a curler for a

permanent wave wherein anyone can easily dismantle and clean the

curler although a permanent agent or a counteragent flows into the

curler, resources and cost are saved since only damaged portions of

the curler can be replaced, injury is prevented since damaged or

broken parts of the curler can be checked in advance and replaced

partially, the curler is used selectively depending on thick or thin

hair of a user, and a variety of angled permanently waved hair can be

produced effectively.

Background Art

Generally, a permanent wave refers to a method in which a hair

tissue is changed by the action of heat or chemicals in order to

obtain a long standing wave. The permanent wave is also referred to

as simply "permanent" or "pema"

Before the permanent wave became public, straight hair was bound

and raised up, or temporary waves were produced using an iron. After

the permanent wave was invented, active cropped hair was in fashion. Thus, varying hairstyles were continually developed. In 1905, a hair

artist C. Nessler (England) invented a method for producing a semi^¬

permanent wave using heat and alkaline.

In other words, the method includes rolling hair using a curl

clip (or a curler) in a cylindrical shape, wrapping the hair with a

piece of clothes on which borax is coated, wrapping it with a paper

tube and then heating the hair using a hot iron. This is a kind of a

heat wave. When it was first invented, this heat wave method took 8

to 12 hours and needed a high cost. Then, a machine wave method using

heat such as electricity or vapor, a preheat waves or a wireless wave

method for applying heat over a clip without using machine were

developed. A charcoal permanent wave that became public for a while

after 1945 is a kind of the preheat wave method.

Thereafter, a British scientist J.B. Speakman completed the

principle of a cold wave that cuts the slide chain of keratin cells in

hair in his research on wool' s molecule structure in 1936. This

method is simpler and safer than the hear wave method. The heat wave

method uses heat, whereas the cold wave method uses a liquid medicine

at room temperature.

Hair is a sort of protein containing sulfur, and is composed of

keratin coupled in a chain shape and is resilient. Among chains,

keratin in the long axis is called a polypeptide chain, and a slide

chain serving as a bridge, which intersects the chain, is called a cystine bonding. If hair is rolled using the curler, outer

polypeptide that is extended tends to return back to its original

state. If alkaline is applied to break the cystine bonding, its

elastic property is lost. In this state, if hair is neutralized with

it hung on the curler only, the hair is fixed with it being curved and

then return to its elastic state.

The cold wave method can be classified into a single bath method,

a twice bath method and a triple bath method depending on the number

of a liquid medicine used. The twice bath method has currently been

used a lot. A first solution is referred to as a processing solution

and is an alkaline aqueous solution mainly composed of thioglycolic

acid of 2 to 7%. The first solution serves as the process of reducing

hair. A second solution is referred to as a neutral izer and is an

oxidizing agent, which is usually composed of potassium chloride. The

second solution serves to neutralize the first solution to restore

hair to its original elastic state.

The permanent wave is operated at a beauty shop based on the

hair artist law. Hair washing before the operation usually includes

washing filth of the hair on one' s head so that the cold permanent

agent can easily penetrate into the hair. Thus, it is not allowed to

make a wound in the head capsule by scratching a fingernail. When

rinsing, a cream rinse or a lemon rinse is not used. In case of a

hypersensitive person, it is required to perform a patch test on his forearm. In the event there is damaged hair or damaged

head capsule and/or in case of dyed hair or bleached hair, the hair is

not permanently waved. Attention to persons who suffer from diabetes

and/or anemia, women who are in the first or second month of pregnancy

or in the first to third months after childbirth, and a person having

an allergic constitution must be paid. Upon a permanent wave,

attention must be paid to the fact that a permanent agent does not

adhere to the face, neck etc.

A first operation includes washing hair. The hair is then cut,

if needed, and is properly trimmed. Next, the hair is classified and

wound on a curler. Thereafter, a first solution is applied, which

takes about 10 to 25minutes. Some of the curler is then released in

order to check the degree of settlement. Then, a second solution is

applied, which takes about 5 minutes. Finally, the curler is released,

rinsed into warm water, dried and then set.

In such a conventional curler, an elastic braid groove and a

head having an elastic braid fixing projection are integrally formed

at both sides of a curler body. One side of the head is clogged and

the other side of the head is opened, thus forming a space therein. A

hot plate that is integrally formed with a code clevis pin is inserted

into the inner space.

In the conventional curler constructed above, although the

curler body is sealed with no gap, it is always exposed to a permanent agent and a counteragent of a liquid state, which has a high

corrosiveness. Thus, as the joining unit of the curler body and the

code clevis pinhead both of which are sealed are gradually cracked,

the permanent agent or counteragent of a high corrosiveness flows into

the space of the curler body.

Accordingly, at most beauty shops, after the curler is used, it

is shaken in order to pull out the permanent agent or the counteragent

flown into the space. The curler is thus used repeatedly. Therefore,

there are problems in that it makes a user inconvenient and a hot

plate is corroded to shorten the use period of the curler.

Furthermore, in the conventional curler that is integrally

formed, a permanent agent or counteragent of a liquid state is

frequently brought into contact with the inner and outer sides of the

curler body, thus oxidizing the curler body formed of a synthetic

resin. For this reason, there is a problem in that the elastic braid

fixing projection of the oxidized curler body is broken when an

elastic braid is repeatedly tied and untied.

In addition, if the fixing projection of the elastic braid is

broken when the elastic braid is hung or released, broken pieces may

spring due to the elasticity of the elastic braid and hit the nose,

neck or other facial portions of a customer, or the face of a hair

designer.

Also, the conventional curler is expensive, about $8 to $10 per unit. Further, if any portion of the curler is broken or

damaged, the curler may not be further used. Therefore, there is a

problem in that resources are wasted.

Moreover, the conventional curler has an elastic braid-fitting

groove and an elastic braid fixing projection formed at one side of

the curler body. Thus, if the elastic braid fixing projection fixed

to the curler body falls to pieces due to carelessness in use, there

is a structural problem in that the curler cannot be used.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

The present invention will now be described in detail in

connection with preferred embodiments with reference to the

accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a front view showing the construction of a curler

according to the present invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional

view showing the curler taken along lines A-A' in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is

a cross-sectional view showing a distal end portion of the curler

taken along lines B-B' in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 shows a state where the

curler is assembled according to an embodiment of the present

invention. Fig. 5 shows a state where the curler is dismantled

according to an embodiment of the present invention. A curler 1 for a permanent wave according to the present

invention includes an assembly type elastic braid-fitting unit 40

having elastic braid-fitting grooves 42 and elastic braid fixing

projections 43 at its one side, wherein the unit 40 is coupled to or

decoupled from a curler body 10; a hot plate assembly 30 located

within the curler body 10 and having a hot plate 31 heated by

electricity, wherein the hot plate assembly 30 includes a hot plate

head 33 having an annular rib 34 on its outer circumference; an 0-

ring 20 for sealing between-the hot plate assembly 30 and the curler

body 10; and the curler body 10 having the hot plate assembly 30 and

the 0-ring 20 inserted therein and having the assembly type elastic

braid-fitting unit 40 fixed to its one side.

The hot plate assembly 30 is inserted into the curler body 10.

The assembly 30 includes code clevis pins 31 to which external

electricity is applied, the hot plate head 33 having an annular rib

34 formed in by some distance from the outer circumference, and hot

plates 32 coupled to the bottom of the code clevis pin 31 that are

heated upon electrification.

In the curler body 10, a space unit 11 is formed within the

curler body 10. Elastic braid-fitting grooves 15 having elastic

braid fixing projections 17 are formed at one side of the curler

body 10. An annular groove 13 is formed within the other side of

the curler body 10 corresponding to the annular rib 34 of the hot plate head 33. A hanging rib 14 has the 0-ring 20 seal the

bottom of the hot plate head 33. A detachable unit 12 of a diameter

smaller than the elastic braid-fitting unit 15 is formed on the

outer circumference of the curler body 10 in the opposite direction.

Thereby, the assembly type elastic braid-fitting unit 40 can be

coupled to or decoupled from the curler body 10.

The assembly type elastic braid-fitting unit 40 includes a

circular through-hole 41 through which the code clevis pins 31 pass.

The assembly type elastic braid-fitting unit 40 has three or more

elastic braid-fitting grooves 42 and elastic braid fixing

projections 43 formed at some distance at its top end. Thereby, the

assembly type elastic braid-fitting unit 40 can be coupled to or

decoupled from the detachable unit 12 of the curler body 10.

The operation of the curler according to the present invention

will now be described.

The 0-ring 20 is inserted into the hanging rib 14 of the

curler body 10. The hot plate assembly 30 is coupled to the space

unit 11.

At this time, the hot plate assembly 30 pushes the hot plate

head 33 strongly in a state where the hot plates 32 is directed

toward the space unit 11 of the curler body 10.

If the hot plate head 33 is strongly pushed in the space unit

11 of the curler body 10 as such, the outer bottom side of the hot plate head 33 pushes the 0-ring 20 in the direction of hanging

rib 14. At the same time, the annular rib 34 formed in the outer

circumference is forcedly inserted into the annular groove 13 of the

curler body 10.

Accordingly, there is no gap between the hot plate assembly 30

and the curler body 10, so that complete sealing coupling is

accomplished. The assembly type elastic braid-fitting unit 40 is

fitted into one side of the curler body 10. The assembly type

elastic braid-fitting unit 40 can be coupled to or decoupled from

one side of the curler body 10, if necessary.

In the curler 1 for a permanent wave according to the present

invention, a permanent agent or a counteragent cannot enter the

curler body 10 due to the 0-ring 20. Therefore, there is no concern

about corrosion of the hot plates 32. Accordingly, anyone can easily

dismantle and clean the curler and can thus easily use the curler.

In addition, damaged or broken parts in a dismantled state can

be immediately replaced with new ones. Thus, there is nothing

concern about injury that may be caused by the use of broken

components .

being coupled according to the present invention. Fig. 7 is a front

view of the curler when being coupled according to the present

invention. Fig. 8 is a state where a curler outer shell is separated from a curler body according to the present invention.

The curler 1 for a permanent wave according to the present

invention includes a curler body 120 having a hanging rib on its

inner circumference; an 0-ring 121 fitted into the hanging rib; a

hot plate assembly 122 integrally formed with a code clevis pin and

a hot plate, wherein the hot plate assembly 122 has a hot plate head

inserted into the curler body 120; an assembly type elastic braid-

fitting unit 123 having elastic braid-fitting grooves 113 and

elastic braid fixing projections 114 formed at its one side, wherein

the braid-fitting unit 123 is forcedly fitted into an outer

circumference at one side of the curler body 120; and a curler outer

shell 110 having an elastic braid-fitting grooves 113, an elastic

braid fixing projections 114 and a fitting units 112 formed at one

side, wherein the curler outer shell 110 has its other side opened.

In the above, the curler outer shell 110 includes an insertion slot

111 into which the curler body 120 having the assembly type elastic

braid-fitting unit 123 formed on its inner circumference is inserted.

In the curler outer shell 110, the fitting units 112 can be

integrally formed with the curler outer shell 110 with its both ends

opened. However, the fitting units 112 can be formed separately

from the curler outer shell 110.

The cross section of the curler outer shell 110 may be

cylindrical, lonzenge-shaped, triangular, square or star- shape. However, in case of a common permanent wave, it is preferred

that the cylindrical curler outer shell is used. In case of an

angled permanent wave showing strong individuality, the lonzenge-

shaped, triangular, square or star-shaped curler outer shell can be

used depending on a desired permanent angle. ^' It will be evident to

those skilled in the art that the cross section of the curler outer

shell 110 is not limited to the above shapes but may be modified in

various shapes, if necessary. In case of thin hair, an elastic

braid groove 115 and an elastic braid rib 116 into which elastic

braids are inserted may be formed at both sides of the curler outer

shell 110. Meanwhile, in case of thick hair, the fitting units 112

having the elastic braid-fitting grooves 113 and the elastic braid

fixing projections 114 can be used.

How to use the curler according to the present invention will

now be described.

If the 0-ring 121 is inserted into the curler body 120 and the

hot plate assembly 122 is then coupled to the space unit, there is

no gap between the hot plate assembly 122 and the curler body 120,

thereby accomplishing complete sealing coupling. The assembly type

elastic braid-fitting unit 123 is inserted into one side of the

curler body 120.

The curler body 120 coupled thus is inserted into the

insertion slot 111 of the curler outer shell 110 according to the present invention. Elastic braids for fixing hair to be

permanently waved are fixed to the elastic braid-fitting grooves 113

and the elastic braid fixing projections 114 of the fitting units

112 formed at one side of the curler outer shell 110, and the

assembly type elastic braid-fitting unit 123 of the curler body 120.
