Definitions
- a hair pin which generally comprises two arms connected together by a hinge, the tuft which is wound on one of the arms is fixed by moving the second arm down on to the first.
- Another drawback is that the resting of the head on a pillow is considerably hindered by the curlers or the pins, and sleep is disturbed thereby.
- Another method for waving or curling the hair is the permanent wave.
- the chief drawback is that not only does the operation take a long time, but that it may, if not properly carried out, dry and even burn the hair.
- Another drawback of this treatment is that the hair forms such a tight curl that it becomes crimped, which is also undesirable.
- My invention has for its object a device for curling or waving the hair, which has none of the above-mentioned drawbacks.
- the curling device or hair curler is simply characterised by the fact that it comprises a hollow or solid annular element made of resilient material, one segment of which is provided with fastening means which enable the tip of the tuft of hair which is to be curled to be secured thereto, so that by imparting to said annular element successive twisting movements of one revolution on itself, the tuft is caused to wind round the fastening segment.
- the aforesaid fastening means are obtained .by making the outer surface of a segment of the annular member rough by means of projections, incisions or cuts.
- said fastening means comprise a clip, the ends of which are inserted in the ends of the tube forming a broken annular element.
- said fastening means comprise a cut away portion which is provided in the tube forming an unbroken annular element and in which is inserted an oval member, the ends of which are engaged in the open ends of 1 Claim. (Cl. 132-44) 2 the tube and which pinches the tip of the tuft between itself and the cut away portion.
- Fig. 1 shows a hair curler formed by a onepiece ring.
- Fig. 2 shows a variant in. which the ring coniprises a rubber tube provided with a. fastener.
- Fig. 3 shows yet another embodiment in which the ring isprovided. with a. cut away portion adapted to accommodate an. oval member made of hard material.
- Fig. 4 is the corresponding top plan view.
- the hair curler shown in Fig. 1 comprises a single ring I made of rubber or other like material; the part of said ring on which the tuft is to be wound and retained is provided, for this purpose, with small prickles or other projections 2, or with small cuts so as to form a rough surface,
- the rubber ring i may, in this case, be hollow or solid. In this embodiment, it is preferable for the rough part to be slightly thicker than the ring itself.
- FIG. 2 an embodiment has been shown which comprises a tube 3, made of rubber or other like material, and a fastener (4 and 5).
- the tube 3 is slipped with both its ends on to said fastener, thereby enabling a ring-shaped body likewise to be obtained with a harder segment in the form of a clip.
- Said fastener may be so constructed that one of its arms (4) forms a hinge relatively to the arm inserted in the tube 3; when the movable arm 5 is moved downwards, it is lodged in its turn inside the tube and thus forms a clip for retains ing the tuft.
- This clip (4 and 5) may be made of any appropriate material and be of any desired shape.
- Fig. 3 shows an embodiment in which use is made of a hollow ring 6 made of rubber or other like material; the outer surface of said ring 6 is provided with a cut away portion 1 so that, at this spot, the body of the ring only comprises a strip of material 8.
- an oval member 9 In said cut away portion 1 is fitted an oval member 9, the tapered ends of which are slipped into the open edges of the ring 6 (see Fig. 4).
- a comb which is preferably slightly moist is passed through the tuft to be curled; if it is not desired to wet the whole tuft, only the tip thereof need be wetted. Said tip is then wound one turn round the rough surface 2 of the ring I so that it is retained by said rough surf-ace; the ring is then gripped with the fingers in the zones indicated by the numerals l and II (Fig. 1) in such a manner that said zones are located between the thumbs and forefingers.
- the tip of the tuft is pinched between the parts 4 and 5, after which the ring is twisted as described for the model of Fig. 1.
- An important advantage of the hair curler according to the invention consists in the fact that after each turn of twist, the ring is automatically returned to its initial position, so that it is not necessary to have recourse to other fastening or fixing means for preventing the part of the tuft already wound from unwinding, the ring itself forming as it were an eflicient brake in respect of any unwinding.
- Another advantage of this hair curler consists in the fact that its circular shape prevents the tuft from slipping or from escaping while it is being wound; after winding, said hair curler itself lies fiat against the head. There are no projecting portions liable to cause injuries. Once in position, the curlers are not of unsightly appearance and in no way disturb the users slumber.
- a hair curler which comprises an unbroken hollow annular element made of resilient material, a portion of which is cut away to form a recess, and an oval member, the ends of which are adapted to be inserted in the open edges of said annular element, said oval member pinching, between itself and the wall of said annular element below said recess, the tip of the tuft of hair to be curled.
