Feb. 22, 1938.- F. zAJlcEK INSTRUMENT FOR CURLING THE LASHBS OF AN EYE Filed May 51, 1935 Patented Feb. 22, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT: OFFICE INSTRUMENT FOR .CURLING THE LASHES EYE This invention relates to devices designed for use in curling eye lashes; and the object of the invention is to provide a device of the class described which will perform the curling operation in a simpler and more emcient manner than other devices of this kind that are now in use, my invention consisting in a device having stationary and movable curl-forming elements, the movable element traveling in a curved or arcuate iii path with respect to the stationary element and beyond the stationary element in one complete curling operation so as to freely release the curled eye lash; a further object being to provide a curling device consisting of a stationary frame to l5 which the stationary curling element is secured, with means on spaced members of said frame for definitely guiding the movable curling element with respect to said frame and first named element; a further object being to provide means 2o on the handle portion of the device for operating the movable curling element by the hand or i'lngers of the hand in connection with which the device is supported; and with these and other objects in view, the invention consists in a device of the class and for the purpose specifled, which is simple-in construction', emcient in use and which is constructed as hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following speciiication, of which the accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the device showing the curling elements in normal or separated position.`
Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing one of the curling elements in a position passing the other element in performing a curling operation.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view indicating the mounting of the frames of the curling elements in connection with the handle member.
Fig. `4 is a plan view of the upper edge portion only of the curling device.
Fig. 5 is a view substantially similar to that shown in Fig. 2 but illustrating only a part of the construction and showing a number of eye lashes disposed between the curling elements;
and,
Fig. 6 is a perspective view substantially similar to that shown in Fig. 5 but illustrating the curling elements in separated position after completing the curling operation.
My improved curling device as disclosed in the accompanying drawing consists o-f two frames, one consisting of a pair of side arms 30 and the other consisting of a pair of side arms 32. 'I'he side arms 30 of one of said frames, Whatmay be termed the movable frame, are widely spaced apart and include substantially parallel outer end portions which are joined by a substantially semi-elliptical curling element 22. The other ends of said arms are arranged in close proximity to the arms 32 of the other or stationary frame, as is indicated at 23,` the arms 32 being riveted or otherwise secured together as indicated at 31 and are also secured to the handle 5I by other rivets or securing means indicated at 38. Secured to one of the arms 30 of the movable frame as at 56, is a push button 39 which I passes through an elongated aperture or groove 40 formed in the handle 5| to permit movement of the curling element 22 from the position shown in Fig. 1 to that shown in Fig. 6. The arms 3B pass through the inner end portions of, the arms 32 as is indicated at 55, said inner end portions of the arms 32 being bent angularly to provide a secure mounting in the handle member and to facilitate riveting as at 38.
The outer ends of the arms 32 of the stationary member are also parallel and are provided with the curved or arc-shaped grooves 36 which serve to guide the outer ends of the arms 30 as well as the curling element 22 with respect to a xed or stationary curling element 28 secured to the arms 32 and are semi-elliptical or arc-shaped in form to correspond to the contour of and t within the curling element 22. A rubber or other covering 3| is disposed upon and constitutes a facing or covering for the element 22 but does not extend to the ends 54 of said element, as will appear upon a consideration of Fig. 4 of the drawing. The covering 3| provides frictional engagement with the eyelashes in the curling operation.
From the foregoing description, Ait will appear that'the mounting and movement of the movable frame including the side arms 30 with respect to the handle member, and the stationary frame, will be such that in the upward movement of the frame or the curling element 22 by pushing upwardly on the button or knob 39, the curling element 22 will be guided through the arcuate or curved path defined by the grooves 36 which in this sense act as cam grooves so as to pass the element 22 from a point adjacent the lower edge of the element 28 upwardly and around the convex surface of the element 28, and then inwardly over the upper surface or edge thereof,
2l. permitting the free removal of the deviceA after performing the curling operation. At this time.' it will also be apparent that the above operation may be repeated if desired, by simply returning the element 22 to the position shown iny Fig. 1, and then repeating the cycle of operation above defined.
It is preferred that a slight clearance be pro vided between the elements 22 and 28 when they are directly opposed to each other, substantially as indicated in-Figs. 2 and 5 of the drawing to avoid what may be termed crushing or destruc tion to the eye lashes. This clearance is greatly exaggerated in its indication at Il in Fig. 4 of the drawing.
The various parts of the device, for example, the arms of the stationary and movable frames and the curling elements 22 and 28 thereof are composed of rigid material and means is provided for deflnitely'controlling the relative move` ment of the elements 22 and 2l with respect to each other, thereby producing diii'erent curling operations at substantially the same pressure or engagement throughout the entire length of the elements. It will be understood. however, that any desired material may be used in the construction of the several parts of my improved device.
