5 Claims.
The present invention relates to improvements in the art of finger waving and more particularly to means for producing fiat ringlets upon the. scalp. a i
Where the finger is employed to make ringlets of'hair itis usually hard to slip the ringlet off. Where a stick is used instead. of the hands it becomes unwieldy andinconvenient when the operator slips the finished ringlet off the stick and pins "it down flat upon the scalp. This because the, operator uses one hand to hold the rlnglet flat against thescalp'and needs to use the other hand to fasten a hairpin upon the ring- Iet and scalp and because it is necessary to lay thestick aside "to freeboth hands. "Toeliminate this handicap in rapidly producing the ringlets by using either the finger or the conventional stick I have devised a simple, efiicient and inexpensive device which is attached to the finger removably and designed to remain on the fingerafterthe ringlet formed thereon has been transferred to the scalp, and when it is desired to have both hands free to fasten the ringlets down.
In carrying out my invention I produce a thimble for use upon a finger and a smooth elongated stick or rod carried forwardly by the thimble upon which the curling of the strand of hair is effected for producing the desired ringlet.
A further object of this invention is to provide upon the thimble a mandrel designed to rotate upon or relatively to the thimble to wind a strand of hair thereupon into a ringlet as well as to convenience the removal of the ringlet from the mandrel.
A further object thereof is to provide the stick or mandrel with flutes for the purpose of allowing a finger nail to engage in any of the flutes in the act of causing the formed ringlet to be slipped or slid off from the stick.
A final object thereof is to provide upon the mandrel a terminal fork to hold the strands of hair thereupon to make a ringlet, and to provide upon the thimble longitudinal and transverse slots to make it easy to expand or to enlarge the thimble as same is forced into engagement with a finger.
With the above and other objects in view my invention consists in the combination, arrangement and details of construction disclosed in the drawing and specification and then more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawing, wherein similar reference characters designate similar parts throughout the respective views.
Figure 1 is a top plan view of one form of my invention.
V Figure 2 is a rear end elevation thereof,
Figure-3 is a side elevation of Figure 1,
'Figure 4 is a'front elevation of Figure 1, and
Figure 5 is a side elevationof Figure 1 showing the manner in' which ringlets may be formed thereupon. I
In the drawing which is merelyillustrative of my invention 10 designates a conical mandrel orstick which at its rear end flares at H to merge with an enlarged flange 12 having a rear flat face. A thimble I6 is formed into a tubular body, beingpreferably slit longitudinally to provide an outwardly flaring slot 22 which may be intersected medially by a kerf' l8 which extends at right angles to the slit 22 on opposite sides thereof. This arrangementof longitudinal and transverse slits produces a pair {of inner confronting flexible cheeks l9 and a; similar pair of outer spreadable confronting cheeks l1. It will readily be seen that when a finger is inserted forcibly into this thimble I6 that the cheeks will give to hold the thimble onto the finger frictionally yet removably.
The mandrel or stick I0 is formed witha coaxial longitudinal slot I4 at its outer free end to provide, at this point, a terminal fork. It is also provided with a circumferentially spaced apartseries of grooves or flutes l5 preferably opening out of the free endof the mandrel. The cylindrical thimble has an integral tab l3 which is bent back at right angles so as to close the inner narrow end of the thimble, and this tab has its outer flat surface engage the adjacent flat surface of the flange l2 of the mandrel H]. In order to rotatably mount the mandrel in forwardly rotatable relation to the thimble I employ the screw pin 20, I form holes in tab l3 and flange I2, and into these holes I insert the non-threaded portion of screw pin 20 so that its free threaded end projects into the main body of the mandrel, this pin having a head 2| overlying the inner face of the tab l3. It will thus be seen that the mandrel and flange is free to rotate relatively to the tab of the fixed thimble held on the finger of the hair wavelet.
In Figure 5 the mode of operation of my invention is illustrated. In operation, the operator inserts the thimble upon the finger of one hand where it is held fast by friction. This leaves the remaining fingers of the hand free. The operator then proceeds to revolve the mandrel of the thimble as he rolls the strand from the ends of the hair, and he is careful to revolve the mandrel or stick several turns until the hair is wound upon itself to produce a properly shaped ringlet upon the mandrel. Initially the operator with one hand takes a strand of hair B from the scalp A and slips the tip thereof into the slot of the fork M of the mandrel as shown in Figure 5, and having done this, then with the other hand he next revolves the mandrelby winding the hair thereupon so as to form several convolutions or turns of the hair upon the mandrel, each convolution being surrounded by the next overlapping one until a suitably sized ringlet is produced. While the ringlet is being thus formed the thimble I6 is still on his finger. In the process of such finger waving the hair has been suitably dampened and each ringlet is rolled upon the stick in turn.
After such ringlet is formed upon the strand of hair B it must be transferred back to the scalp. The operator slips the ringlet off from the mandrel, using the opposite hand from the one holding the mandrel,and his finger nail will follow in one of the flutes I5 of the mandrel as he pushes the ringlet oif therefrom, to assure quick removal of the ringlet. The hand which has thus been released and which holdsthe thimble is now employed to hold the removed ringlet flat against the scalp; the other hand is next employed to take hold of a hair pin F to fasten the ringlet down flat upon the scalp. C designates the strand of hair just introduced into the fork M of the mandrel, and D designates the convolutions of hair which will produce the finished ringlet. E designates the ringlet after it has been fastened down flat against the scalp. After this ringlet has had enough time to dry the hair is combed out so that each wave ringlet stays in place after the pins are removed.
I do not mean to confine myself to the exact details of construction save as pointed out in the appended claims.
What I desire to claim and secure by Patent 1- As a new article of manufacture a body adapted to be fitted upon a finger of the human hand so as to be supported forwardly thereof, and. means carried by said body forming an element upon and around which hair may be wound into ringlets by the other hand.
As a new article of manufacture a tubular body having an ,internal conical bore with an outer open end and an inner closed end,the open outer end being designed to fit around a human finger so as to be supported thereupon, a rod projecting from the closed end of the tubular body, a hair-curling mandrel rotatedly mounted upon the rod short of its outer end, and means at the extremity of the rod for holding the mandrel against separation therefrom.
3. As a new article of manufacture a thimble consisting of a sheet metal body of cylindrical cross-section having an outwardly flaring longitudinal slit intersected medially by a kerf extending at right anglesto said slit on opposite sides thereof, there being an internal tab at one end of the body bent back so as to close this end of the cylindrical body, the opposite end of said thimble being open.
4. A device as described consisting of a thimble for attachment to a human finger, and means carried-thereby for winding hair into the form of ringlets thereupon.
5. A device as described consistlng'of a hollow body open at its outer end so as to receive and hold one finger of the human hand, and a stick held in coaxial rotary relation to "the opposite end thereof upon which ringlets of hair may be curled-and supported upon said finger, while adjacent fingers of'the samev hand are free for pinning down said ringletsafter they are removed from the stick'by the other hand.
