Application January 5, 1948, Serial No. 585
5 Claims.
" M invention relates to hair waving machines and it is an object of the same to provide means for use with hair waving machines by the use of which the making of spiral curl on a machine designed for making Croquignole curls or waves shall be facilitated. It is well known that spiral curls were popular before Croquignole waves came into vogue, and that machines were devised for curling the hair in spirals and setting the curl before Croquignole machines were invented, but neither type of machine was well suited to do the work for which the other type was designed. The old spiral machines were also highly objectionable by reason of the exposed character of their bakers which had exposed surfaces that became very hot, giving rise to danger of burns and causing much discomfort both to the users and their customers, even though no burns resulted. It is an important object of my invention to render it easy to make spiral curls upon Croquignole machines of conventional design by providing simple and inexpensive attachments that can be used with such machines for said purpose.
Another object of the invention is to provide means for the making of spiral curls with much less discomfort and danger of burns, e. g., the well-known-pull burns" incidental to spiral curl- 'ing operations.
Another object is to provide an attachment for the clamps of a Croquignole machine that shall be quickly and easily applicable when spiral curls are desired, and quickly and easily detachable therefrom.
1 Referring tothe drawings, which are made a part of this application and in which similar reference character indicate similar parts: Fig. 1 is an elevation showing the device of my invention applied to a Croquignole clamp,
Fig. 2, an elevation at right-angles to Fig. 1, a
and
'arated from the clamp. In the drawings, reference character lil indicates a supporting body of a conventional hair Fig.3, an elevation of the attachment sepspindle clamp, said body being of elliptical shape live material such as steel which isrigidly se-' cured to the outer shell and a heating element (not shown) is confined between the concentric shells, said heating element being electrically heated by means of a conventional double-strand electricwire l3, and a ground connection l3, each wire leading to a suitable source of electricity.
In the use of the clamp for the usual Croquig- 'nole curls a tress of hair, which is of a width horizontally or crosswise of the customers head more or less corresponding to the length of a hair spindle that iS to be gripped by the clamp while the setting of the curl is proceeding under heat, is wrapped or wound upon the spindle, the width of the tress being such as to cover the entire length of the spindle or substantially so, in each wrapping or convolution of the hair and the wrapping beginning at the ends of the hair.
It is an object of the clamp herein shown to protect thecustomers against the heat of the shells against which the hair on the spindle is pressed during treatment and the clamp is therefore provided with suitable jaws l4, M, more fully disclosed in my co-pending application Serial No. 755 519, filed June 18, 1947, granted as Pat. No. 2,515,512 said jaws being spaced at all times from the heated shells I I, I2, but substantially enclosing a wound hair spindle and its wrappings, the free edges of said jaws nearly meeting adjacent the scalp. The jaws are operated by handles l5, I5 of insulating material mounted on resilient lateral projection [6 that are integral with the jaws and with an endless band of spring metal l6" encircling the body Ill. The spring metal forces the jaws toward one another, while forcing the handles away from each other. Thus the handles will open the jaws when pressed towards one another. In the making of spiral curls a small lock of hair, which hair is often, though not necessarily, longer than in the case of Croquignole curls, is segregated close to the scalp and is wound in a true spiral or helix lengthwise of a spindle the helix beginning at one end of the spindle and ending at or nearthe other end of the same, and the wrapping operation beginning at the roots of the hair instead of at the outer ends thereof. When the spiral is completed the free ends of the hair in that lock are secured to the spindle and the wrapped spindle is inserted endwise into a cylindrical shell of heatconducting material and heat is applied to set the curl. Commonly, when the hair was worn longer, the spindles used were longer than those used'for Croquignole curls, but that is not necessary as spiral curls can be made equally well with hair of length suitable for Croquign'ole curls. ln orderthat clamps, such as usedforCroqui' gnole curls, may be used in making spiral curls it is necessary, or at least highly desirable, that the spindles and clamps be held in a position at rightangles to their normal position, i. e., with the spindle vertical instead of horizontal alongside the head. With that end in view I have devised a hair clamp supporting device comprising a strip 6 p ra mad .Q s ri e al s ch se ming steel, which strip is bent at one end, as at H, to embrace a portion of the body ll! of the hair clamp.
A jaw l8 in opposed relation to jaw l] embraces the opposite side of the body 10 and this jaw has integral with it a' supporting portion the form of a slide I9 surrounding the mid-portion of strip l more or less completely. A bracket l9 has a projecting arm 20 with a hole for guiding a rod 2| fixed at its lower end to the jaw 18, saidbr cket be n fixe -tn s rip 16 as b eans of FQUGSJZ. .,A collar 23 on ,the-rod limits its downwa m em sa d nd an ja ein {blQI S d lZO-;mQVQ-tOW&ITQ jaw ll by acoil spring is encircling the rod and bearingat its ends respectively against arm 29 ,and jaw 18.
The striplilrebody JG isprovidedat its upper end with a guide 25, shown as consisting of a ilatstripsecured atone end to, the stripby a bolt 1B and :bent approximately into elliptical iorm for engaging wires 13 and holding the parts in the position illustrated, or substantially 50. It will be understood that in both spiral and Croquignole machines the bakers, are on wires dependin :f fil red s p r sin m sh ne uc a ho n in pat s to Ree mew; .Blum Lesse l,6 6 6, l 69, and thus, by the use of my device the na e amps wil e he d in the po s illustrated in Fig. 2, with the spindle uprightso as to-produce the best effects of the heat on the hair wound thereon, for the production of lasting spiral curls or waves.
In then-Se of the device of any invention, it is simply placed b hand with the jaw l1 against one side of thebody 1E ofthe hair clampas shown n s- 2 an h n m'eed e th i 9 i l so a i en nre s the spring 2 and m e the J J8 along 'the strip It ,as a guide, until-the laws ar ufi eient a a ed to perm t l is t moveintothe position-illustratedin Fig. 1, after which th pree nr e the nereir h d is moved so that the jawscan be made to grip the bod 1 bvthe pres u ,e snr n 24.
