HAIR CURLER.
APPLICATION FILED OCT. 15. 1919.
1,338,687, Patented May 4,1920.
CHARLES L. rrrcn. or NEW YORK, N. Y.
HAIR-CURLER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 4, 1920;
Application filed October 15, 1919. Serial No. 330,755.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES L. FITCH, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement'in Hair-Curlers, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to curlers in which the hair is wound upon a shell or tube heated by a rod thrust therein, and the object of the invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive and easily operated device of this character, in which the tress or look of hair to be treated may be securely held in the closely wound condition while supplying heat to the shell, and in which the danger of soiling or singeing the hair during the curling operation is avoided.
The invention I consists in certain novel features and details of construction by which the above objects are attained, to be hereinafter described and claimed.
The accompanying drawings form a part of this specification and show an approved form of the invention.
Figure 1. is a sideelevation of the curler with the heating rod engaged in the shell. Fig. 2 is a corresponding plan view.
Fi line 33 in Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is an elevation of the rod alone.
Fig. 5 is a vertical longitudinal section through the shell alone.
Similar letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the figures.
A is a cylindrical tube or shell of thinsheet metal formed by rolling a strip into tubular form, open at the ends and with the edges of the strip abutted along the upper face of the center line. The shell is cut squarely across at the front end and notched or cut away on the upper face at the rear to provide an offset platform A having side flanges A extending in alinement with the body of the shell.
B is a narrow strip of spring metal plvotally joined to the shell A at the front end by a transverse rivet A or otherwise, eX-.
tending forwardly and downwardly and thence rearwardly along the under face of the shell in arched form, terminating in a tongue B extended forwardly and adapted to lie upon the platform A between the 3 is a transverse section taken on the flanges A. The strip serves as a spring clamp adapted to engage a tress of hair wound upon the shell and hold it yieldingly but firmly in the wound condition.
C- isa metal rod adapted to be received in the shell, and'equipped with a handle C of wood or pther heat insulating material. The'rod is designed to be heated in a gas flame or otherwise and thrust into the shell from the rear in the heated condition.
In using the curler the spring clamp B.
is opened by an upward movement of the free end to raisethe tongue B above the flanges A as shown in dotted lines at b in Fig. 5, and is then forced sidewise, as
shown by the dotted lines at b in Fi 2, to clear the platform A and flanges 2 and permit the clamp to swing downwardly on its hinge A as indicated by the dotted .lines at b in Fig. 5. The tress or look of hair to be treated is then wound upon the shell by rolling the latter and is secured by reengaging the togueBa The heated red C is then inserted in the shell and aids by its heat in the curling operation. as usual.
The frictional engagement of the rod against the tongue 3 is suflicient to hold the rod against accidental displacement when inserted.
When the rod has cooled it is withdrawn and the clamp disengaged and the tress unkept .in position as long as desired. A plurality of shells may thus be used with .one
or more rods and the tresses held for long periods in the wound condition.
As the shell is not exposed to the heating flame its surface is easily kept clean and bright and in condition for service, and as the heated rod is never in direct contact with the hair, danger of burning is eliminated. 4
In order to permit the heat of the rod to act quickly on'the tress the shell is preferably provided with, a-number of perforations a through which the heat may pass directly to the hair while the shell is absorbing heat by contact and radiation from the rod. I
Modifications may be made in the forms and proportions of the parts without departing from the invention, and parts may be used without the whole. The perforations a may be omitted, and the clamp B may be varied 'or other means employed to hold the tress in place on thesh'ell during the treatment.-
I'claimzl.- In a-device of the character set forth a shell having perforations therein and formed .at one endwith an offset platform,
j a yielding clamp hinged to saidshell at one endv and separably engaged therewith at theother end, and a'rod independent of said shell and adapted to be removably received infsaid shell, said clamp cooperating with said rod and platform.
2. v The hair curler described comprising a hinged to said shell at one end and having a tongue arranged to engage said shell separably at the other end, and a rod .independent of said shell and adapted to be removranged to engage said rod frictionally and shell.
In testimon that claim the invention above set fort I aflix my signature,- I
