6 Claims.
My present invention relates to the art of hair curlers of the type that are employed to' make bob curls in the hair and to position the spring type hair pins known as bobby pins so as to assure their proper placement and, more particularly, my invention relates to a hairpin magazine for hair curlers. The present styles which call for the setting of a large number of small curls in an average hair dressing has prompted the creation 102 of many styles of hair curlers which are provided with means for accurately positioning the bobby pins which are then left on the curls. Normally, the curling is accomplished by moistening the hair either with water or a waving solution and 151 then holding the hair in the curled position, by
means of the bobby pins, for reasonably long periods until the curl has been definitely set. Inasmuch, however, as the average hair dressing requires a large number of such curls, the positioning of the bobby pin in the curling device, one for each curl, requires a good deal of time and the placement of the, pins is rather difiicult to accomplish due to the unusual strength of the spring stock used in manufacturing such pins to make them effective.
The principal object of my present invention is, therefore, to provide a magazine arrangement, that may be likened to the cartridge feeding magazine of a gun, which will normally hold the numher of pins that will be used in a single hair dressing and will feed these accurately into position where they, in turn, can be'applied one to each curl after it is formed on the curling device.
In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated two forms of adapting my hair pin'magazine to the conventional type of curlers.
Other and more specific objects'will be apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings,
" wherein Figure 1 illustrates in a perspective view my hairpin magazine as applied to one type of hair curler in which the bobby pin is moved over the curl while it is still on the curling device.
t5 Figure 2 is a longitudinal, sectional elevation of the curler shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a top view of the same.
Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 2 with a part of the magazine being broken away and showing the device in the final stage of forcing the bobby pin over a curl of hair.
Figure 5 is a cross-sectional View taken along the line 5-5 of Figure 2.
Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 5 but show- 55 ing the bobby pin revolved to its discharge position'as occurs when the curling clamp member is opened.
Figure 7 is a view in elevation with part of the magazine broken away and partly shown in section, showing the last operation just before the hair pin and hair curl is stripped from the curler.
Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view taken through my hair pin magazine the same being shown with the spring depressed but Without hairpins .in place.
Figure 9 is a perspective View showing the latch or hair securing member used with this form of curler. j
Figure 10 is the sliding. bolt which is used to select and move the hairpin to the finished position. I
Figure 11 is a perspective view showing the top of my hairpin magazine adapted for use with the type of curler illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 12 is a perspective view showing the cam means used to locate and revolve the bobby pin in the act of placing it on a curl.
Figure 13 illustrates, in vertical sectional view, a different type of hair curlerin which the hairpin is held in a spread position necessitating that the curl, after being formed; be stripped off the curler and brought in between the legs-of the hairpin.
Figure 14 illustrates in a fragmentary perspective view, the upper portion of my hairpin magazine.
Figure'15 is a perspective view illustrating a typical bobby pin as used with this type of curler.
Figure 16 is a perspective view showing the hinged member which holdsthe bobby pin in position to receive a hair curl that has been formed on the curler and also provides the guideway and support for my hairpin magazine.
Referring to .the drawings, throughout which like reference characters indicate like parts, numeral l8 designates the main tube, or barrel, of one form of curler to which my magazine is adaptable. This is provided with the handle portion at 20 and the curler portion at 22. It is fur ther provided with an offset 'slot having one portion disposed on the upper side of the tube as at 24 and another portion disposed around one side as 25, the two slots being connected by a transverse slot at 26.
Fixedly secured to barrel l8 isa bobby pin magazine 28 which in turn is provided with a removable cap,'or bottom, 30. This is arranged with detents at 3| and 32 which engage openings in. the magazine proper'so-as to form a frictional engagement that locks the bottom to the magazine in a manner permitting its easy removal for recharging. Preferably secured to the bottom 30 is the compression spring 34 and in turn secured to it is the magazine follower 36.
Pivotally secured to barrel I8 as by pivot detent 38 is the hair clamp 40. This is provided at one end with a curved portion so as to snugly fit around the curling portion 22 of barrel I8 and in its mid section it is split, as is probably best illustrated in Figure 9, into the two side portions 4| and 42. At its extreme opposite end, or to the right hand end as shown in the various views, is the operating handle 44. This has secured to it, preferably, the U-shape spring 46 which tends at all times to urge clamp member 40 into snug engagement with the curler portion 22. Also formed as part of clamp member 40 is an operating lug 4B.
In using my machine, with this form of curler, the end of a wisp of hair is caught under clamp 40 and the curler is then revolved, winding up the hair on the curler portion 22. When the curl is fully formed the pin manipulating member or bolt 6!], probably best illustrated in Figure 10, which is housed within the handle portion 20 of tube I8, is grasped by its upstanding handle 62 and moved to the left as viewed in the various views. This action will carry the upper bobby pin 64 to the left. The pin has previously been positioned by spring 34 forcing the column of pins up against the stop member 66 formed as part of bolt 60 and at its opposite end it is caught under the overhanging ledge 61. Ledge Bl is formed with a sharpened leading edge after the showing particularly of Figures 2, 4, and 7, so that it will spread the two legs of the bobby pin; the lower leg will pass underneath ledge 61 and be contained within sleeve 22, whereas the upper leg will ride over the same and when the crinkled portion at 68 rides over ledge 61 the pin will be spread considerably so that it can easily slide over any normal curl that has been formed on portion 22. When the pin has been moved to the left to the degree shown in Figure 4, so that the return bent portion of F the pin contacts ledge Bl, the bolt member 60 can then be retracted to its normal position. The operator then presses on handle 54; this accomplishes two operations, one being that clamp 40 is raised from the hair, freeing the same and, due to the action of lug 48 in the cam slot 52 which operation is probably best illustrated in Figures 5, 6, and 7, the bobby pin is partially revolved and the lower leg, which has up to this point been confined inside of tube 22 is then free to pass out slot 25, fully gripping thehair. At this point the operator slides the hobby pin and curl off the curler and that curl is fully formed and clamped in place and left to set.
Figures 13, to 16, inclusive, show a different form of curler. Here, a cylindrical curler portion is employed having a clamp member ll pivoted at 12 in the curler proper and urged into its closed position by spring 14. In this form a pin positioning member 16 is employed which is pivotally secured at Tl to a sleeve-like member 18 which encircles the curler and forms a bearing for the same as it is revolved inside sleeve 18 during the curling operation. Member 16 is provided with a' bobby pin expanding or spreading cam surface 80 and magazine guides at BI and 82. Adapted to reciprocate within guides 8| and 82 is my magazine 84. Magazine 84 is provided with the outstanding guide flanges 84a and 80b which in turn engage slots BI and 82. This magazine is formed substantially as previously described employing the same general construction in that a removable cap 36 is employed having the compression spring 34 with a follower 36 and the same clamping means as at 3| and 32.
In operation the curl is formed, as previously described, by gripping a wisp of hair under clamp member H and revolving member 70 as by handle 85 within sleeve 18. Either before or after the curl is formed magazine 84 is moved to the left, as viewed in Figure 13, and the upper bobby pin is placed in position, as illustrated in Figure 13, with its lower leg underneath cam surface 80 until it abuts the stop 86. The curvature of cam surface 8! spreads the two legs of the bobby pin Gila apart so that, when the curl is formed, pressure on handle 68 will raise clamp H from the curl and the operator then slides the curl off member Ill and between the two legs of the pin 64a and slips the pin ofi the cam surface 80. The pin is carried off over the magazine as is shown in dashed line at 93. As soon as one pin is used spring 34 forces the next pin up into the loading position with one end abutting shelf 92 and the other end abutting the tapering or sharpened ledge 9-? so that a movement of the entire magazine to the left will again place a new bobby pin on cam surface 80 in the spread position ready for reception of another curl.
The foregoing description and the accompanying drawings are believed to clearly disclose a preferred embodiment of my invention but it will be understood that this disclosure is merely illustrative and that such changes in the invention may be made as are fairly within the scope and spirit of the following claims:
I claim:
1. The combination with a hair curler of the pivoted jaw type, of a magazine adapted to contain bifurcated pins, means for feeding a pin from the magazine, means for placing said pin on the curler for engagement with a curl, and means actuated by pivotal releasing movement of the jaw for releasing the curler from the pin.
2. The combination with a hair curler of the pivoted jaw type, of a magazine adapted to contain bifurcated pins and means for automatically feeding successive pins from the magazine, a manually operated slide for placing a pin on the curler in engagement with a crul, and means actuated by the pivotal releasing movement of the pivoted jaw for releasing the curler from the placed pin.
3. The combination with a hair curler of the pivoted jaw type, of a magazine for bifurcated pins and means for automatically feeding successive pins to set position, means for retaining the set pin in position, means for moving a set pin into place on the curler for engagement with a curl, and means actuated by the pivotal releasing movement of the jaw for releasing the curler from the placed pin.
