United States Patent HAIR CURLER Leona H. Grant, Highland Bark, Mich.
.Application September 11, 1953, Serial No..379,624
lll Claims. (Cl. i3d-42) This invention relates to curling devices and, more particularly, to a novel and improved hair curler.
Heretofore, whenusing hair curlers, the usual practice has been to wet the hair prior to winding the tresses around the curlers. Since many persons prefer to wet only `the portions ofthe hair that it is desired to curl, as for example, the end portions tlztereoiisuch` practices `have .not been entirely satisfactory because of` the time and elfort that must be expended in carefully wetting the selected portions `without wetting the remaining por- In order to overcome this disadvantage, some persons wind the tresses around the curlers while the hair is in a dry condition, and then moisten the portions of the tresses that have been wound around the curlersby dabbing Ithe tresses with a moistened applicator. Such practices have also been unsatisfactory since it is difficult to wet the convolutions of the hair thoroughly and evenly, with consequent unsatisfactory results in the final appearance of the curls. in addi-tion, many persons prefer to allow the curls to `set overnight while wound around the curlers and prior curlers |have been subject to the defect that they are relatively hard and press into the scalp when worn in bed `with consequent discomfort to the wearer.
Accordingly, an object of the invention is to overcome disadvantages `inherent in prior hair curlers of `the indicated character and to provide an improved hair curler which obviates the necessity of wetting the hair prior to winding the tresses around the curler and which enables selected portions of the hair to be wet thoroughly and evenly after the tresses have been wound around the curler.
Another object of the invention is to Vprovide an im proved hair curler that is relatively soft and which may be worn comfortably `in bed.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved hair curler that enables the tresses of the hair to be wound easily and quickly around the curler and secured in place with a minimum amount of time and effort.
Still another object of the invention is to provide an improved hair curler that is simple in construction, economical to manufacture and assemble, durable, etlicent and reliable in operation.
The above, as well as other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description, the appended claims, and the -accompanying drawings wherein:

Referringito `the drawings, one embodiment of the invention is illustrated in Figs. 1 through 5 and includes an elongated, substantially cylindrical body,l generally designated 20, and a fastening element, generally designated `2.2. The `body 20 is comprised of an inner cylinder 24 which is preferably made of a resilient liquid-absorbentmaterial, such as sponge rubber or the like, and
`a sleeve 26 which lsurrounds the cylinder 24 and which is `preferably made of a resilient, relatively stitf material,
such as rubber, plastic or the like.
The body 20 defines a slot 28 that is adapted to receive `the outer end portion of a tress of hair, as will be described hereinafter in greater detail. The slot 28 is open on opposite sides of the body `20iand at the end 30 thereof, the Slot extending longitudinally through the cylinder .24 and the sleeve 26 from the end 3() of the body to a position nearfbut spaced from, the end 32 theerof.
The cylinder 24 .also defines an axially disposed opening 34 which is openat theend 32 of the body and which extends through the cylinder 24 so as to communicate with the slot 28. The opening 34 is adapted to receive 'the leg 38 of a T-shaped portion 40`-provided on .the
fastening element'22 which willbe describedhereinafter in greater detail.
A plurality of passageways 42 are spacedlongitudinally ofthe body 20 and extend through the sleeve `26ta`nd the cylinder `24 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the slot28. The passageways 42 enable lluid absorbed by the cylinder 124 to passfrom the cylinder ,throughthe sleeve 26 yto the Aexterior surface 43 thereof so as to wet theportions ofthe tresses of `hair `wound aroundithe body 20. Fluid may `also pass from the cyllinder 24 Vthrough the open sides of the slott28 so that, with such a construction, circumferential openings are provided in the sleeve 26 4at `increments of Vapproximately ninety degrees.
In the embodiment of the invention shown `in Figs. l through 5, the fastening element `22 is of the contour illus- .trated-in Fig.- 5 and. is preferably made of an elastic material, such as rubbertor the like. The fastening element 22 includes la pair `of elongated, spaced, substantially parallellside `portions 44 and 46integrally joined at the ends by end portions :48 and `50uso asto `define a substantially rectangular opening 51. The T-shaped portion 40 projects from the end portionS into the opening 51 intermediate the side portions 44 and 46 and is substan tially co-planar therewith. The length of the leg 38 is substantially the same as the length of the opening 34 in theicylinder 24 and; leg 38 extends substantially parallel to the side portions44 and 46 while the transverse portion 52 extends substantially perpendicular to the side portions.
In the assemblyiof this embodiment `of the invention, the end 50 of the `fastening element 22 ispositioned in the slot 28 of .the body and the transverse portion 52 :of the T-shaped portion is tted through the opening 34 in the cylinder 24'from theiend :of the opening34 adjacent theislotl28 so `that whenthe leg 38 isiidsposed inthe opening.34,the edge 54 of the .transverse portion 52tabuts 3 the end 32 of the body 20. The side portions 44 and 46 then project outwardly from the end 32 of the body as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
In the operation of this embodiment of the invention, the end portion of the body 20 adjacent the fastening element 22 is preferably grasped between the thumb and one linger of one hand and the body 20 is dipped in water or other liquid that it is desired to apply to the tresses. The body is allowed to remain in the liquid for a short period of time so that such liquid is absorbed by the cylinder 24. The end portion of the body adjacent the fastening element 22 is then pinched so that the portions of the body on the opposite sides of the slot 28 move outwardly in opposite directions, as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 3. The outer end portion of atress of the hair is then placed in the slot 28 after which the portions of the body on the opposite sides of the slot are pressed together so `as to clamp the end portion of the tress in the slot 28. The body 20 is then rotated and as the body revolves, the tress of the hair is wound tightly around the sleeve 26. When the desired amount of hair has been wound around the sleeve, the convolutionsv are held in place with one hand while the end 48 of the fastening element 22 is grasped with the other hand and pulled longitudinally over the body toward the end 30 thereof so that the side portions 44 and 46 of the fastening element are return bent and overlie the convolutions of the tresses. As previously mentioned, the element 22 is formed of an elastic material and the element 22 is stretched so that the end portion 48 thereof may be fitted in the open end `of the slot 28. When the end 48 is positioned in the slot 28, the side portions 44 and 46 of the fastening element bear against the adjacent portions of the tresses to hold the convolutions securely in place on the body 20. During the time that the tresses are curled around the body 20, the liquid absorbed by the cylinder 24 of the body passesout through the passageways 42 and the sides of the slot 28 to the outer surface of the sleeve 26 so as to thoroughly wet the convolutions of the tresses. The curler is preferably allowed to remain in place until the hair has Vdried after which the curler may be easily and quickly removed from the tress by removing the end portion 48 of the fastening element from the slot 28 and unwinding the tresses from the body 20.
Another form of fastening element is illustrated in Fig. 6 and is comprised of a pair of elongated, oppositely curved side portions 60 and 62 which are integrally joined at each end. A T-shaped portion y64 projects outwardly from one end of the element while a generally semicircular portion 66 projects outwardly from the opposite end thereof and facilitates grasping the element. In this embodiment of the invention, the transverse portion 68 of the T-shaped portion is inserted in the opening 34 in the cylinder 24 of the body 20 from the end 32 thereof so that when the leg 70 of the T-shaped portion is disposed in the opening 34, the transverse portion 68 is disposed in the slot 28 while the remaining portions of the fastening element project outwardly from the end 32 of the body 20.
In the operation of this embodiment of the invention, the tress of hair is wound around the body 20 in themanner previously described, after which the end portion 66 of the fastening element is grasped and pulled toward the end 30 of the body 20 so that the portion of the element adjacent the T-shaped portion is return bent while the portions 60 and 62 overlie the convolutions of the tress. The fastening element is then stretched suficiently so that the portions of the element adjacent the junction of the semi-circular portion 66 with the side portions 60 and 62 may be itted into the open end of the slotV 28. The side portions 60 and 62 then bear against the convolutions of the tress to hold the convolutions securely inrplace on the body.
Another form of fasteningelement is illustrated in Fig. 7 and includes an elongated central portion 72 having a transverse portion 74 on one end thereof and a shoulder 76 projecting outwardly from opposite sides thereof at a position spaced from the transverse portion 74, the length of the section 75 between the shoulder 76 and the transverse portion 74 being substantially the same as the length of the opening 34 in the cylinder 24 of the body 20. At the opposite end of the fastening element, a pair of side portions 78 and 80 formed integrally with the elongated portion 72 project angularly outwardly from opposite sides thereon and are integrally jointed at the outer ends by an end portion 82 so as to dene a generally triangularlyshaped opening 84.
In the assembly of this form of the invention, the transverse portion 74 is inserted through the opening 34 in the cylinder 24 from the end 32 of the body so that the section 75 of the fastening element is disposed in the opening 34. The edge 77 of the transverse portion 74 abuts the adjacent end of the slot 28 while the edge 79 of the shoulder abuts the end 32 of the body to prevent relative movement between the fastening element 22 and the body 20. In the operation of this form of the invention, the tress is wound around the body 20 in the manner previously described after which the end 82 of the fastening element is grasped and pulled toward the end 30 of the body 20 so that the portion of the fastening element adjacent the shoulder 76 is return bent. The fastening element is then stretched sufliciently so that the portion 82 thereof passes over the end of the body into the open end of the slot 28 while the portion 72 of the fastening element overlies and bears against the convoluted portion of the tress and holds the tress securely in place on the curler.
Another form of fastening element is shownin Fig. 8 and includes a pair of elongated, spaced side portions and 92 integrally joined at the ends by an end portion 94 and an end portion 96 so as to define a substantially rectangularly-shaped opening 98. A T-shaped portion 100, having a leg 102 and a transverse portion 104, projects outwardly from the end portion 96, the leg 102 being integral with the end portion 96. The length of the leg 102 is substantially the same as the length of the opening 34 in the cylinder 24 of the body 20 and the transverse portion 104 is inserted through the opening 34 from t-he end 32 of the hodyfso that when the leg 102 is disposed in the opening 34, the transverse portion 104 is disposed in the slot 28 while the edge 106 of the end portion 96 abuts the end 32 of the body 20.
In the operation of this form of the invention, the tress of hair is wound around the body 20 in the manner previously described, afterV which the end portion 94 of the fastening element is pulled toward the end 30 of the body and inserted in the open end of the slot 28. The side portions 90 and 92 of the fastening element then overlie the convoluted portions of the tress and hold such portions securely in place on the body 20.
Another embodiment of the invention is illustrated in Figs. 9 and l0 and includes an elongated substantially cylindrical body portion, generally designated 110, and a fastening portion, generally designated Y112. The body portion is comprised of an inner cylinder'114 which is preferably made of a resilient liquid-absorbing material, such as sponge rubber or the like,and a sleeve 116 which surrounds the cylinder 114 and whichis preferably made of an elastic material, such as rubber, plastic or the like. The body portion 110 denes an elongated slot 118 which is open on opposite sides of the body and at the end 120 thereof. The slot 118 extends longitudinally of the body through the cylinder 114, and the sleeve 116 to a position near, but spaced from, the end 121 of the body. Y
A plurality of passageways 122 are spaced longitudinally of the body 110 and extend through the sleeve 116 and 'the cylinder 114 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the slot 118. The passageways 120 enable fluid absorbed -by the cylinder 114 to pass through the sleevey116 to the outer surface thereof so as to wet the portions of the hair wound around the body portion 110.
`In this embodiment of the invention the fastening portion 112 is formed integrallywith the sleeve 116 and includes a pair of elongated, spaced, substantially `parallel side portions 12d and 12S, which project outwardly from `end 121 of the body and are integrally joined at the outer end by an end portion 126. The side portions 122 and 1241 and the end portion 12.6 are substantially coplanar and lie in a plane substantially perpendicular to the plane of theslot 11.8 defined by the body 11i).
in the operation of this embodiment of the invention, the portion `of the body adjacent the end 121 is preferably grasped `between the thumb and one finger of one hand and the body 11i) is dipped in `water or other liquid that it is desired to `apply to the tresses, the body being allowed to remain in the liquid until `the desired amount of liquid has beenabsorbed bythe cylinder 114. The portion of the body adjacent the end 121 is then pinched so that the portions of the body on the opposite sides of the slot spread apart and the outer end of a tress is then placed in the slot 11d after which the portions of the body on the opposite sides of the slot are pressed together so as to clamp the end of the tress in the slot. The body 11d is then rotated and as the body revolves, the tress of the hair is wound around the sleeve 116. When the desired amount of hair has been wound around the sleeve, `the convolutions are held in place with one hand whiie the end 126 of the fastening portion 112 is grasped with the other hand and pulled longitudinally over the body toward the end 121i thereof. The fastening portion 112 is stretched sufficiently so that the inner edge 12S of the end portion 126 engages the end 120 of the body 110. 1n this embodiment of the invention `the elasticity of the material holds the fastening portion 112 in place on the body portion 11i) so that the side portions 12d and 125 prevent the convolutions of the tresses from unwinding. During the time that the tresses are curled around the body 111i, the liquid absorbed by the cylinder 114 of the body presses out through the passageways 1211 and the open sides of the slot 118 to `the outer surface of the sleeve 116 so as to thoroughly wet the portions of the hair wound around the body. After the hair has dried, the curler may be easily and quickly removed by releasing `the fastening portion 112 and unwinding the tresses from the body portion 114i.
While preferred embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
