Description

Device for waving hair. The object of the present invention is an apparatus for waving the hair, which comprises an undulating element, on one of the undulating sides of which are articulated, by one end, .branches, the movable end of which presents a medium of fixing allowing them to be attached to the undulated side opposite to that mentioned above, said apparatus further comprising at least one heating element, the whole being established in such a way that one can place a hair on the element undulates, and then lower the articulated branches on the latter so as to make,6 thus marry the undulations of the undulated element to the hair.

Figs. 1 to 3 of the appended drawing show, by way of example, one embodiment of the apparatus.

fig. 1 is a view of the apparatus, posed in the hair; fig. 2 is a cross section thereof, and; fig. 3 is a plan view. The apparatus represented comprises an undulating metal element 1, of generally rectangular shape, comprising bosses 2, 2', 2", 2"', leaving hollows 3, 3', 3" between them.

Metal branches 4, 4', 4", 4"', in curved sheet metal, having a half-round section, in such a way as to match the shape of the hollows 3, 3', V are articulated each at 5, by a end @ Plate 1, while the movable end of said brauches 4, 4' is bent at a right angle, so as to form plates 6, each comprising a fastening means, preferably of the pressure type, not represented in the drawing; thanks to these fastening devices, it is possible to secure the mobile end of the branches 4, 4'. 4", 4"', at 1'61ement 1, while leaving a free space between each of the recesses 3, 3', 3" of said .6lement, and the rounded part of the branches 4, 4', 4" corresponding ts, so that the hair to be waved can be placed there.

The 2"' boss and the corresponding 4"' brauch have a more pronounced section than the 2, 2', 2" bosses and, moreover, the 4"' brauch, unlike the other branches, matches not the first areux, but the rounded outer shape of the boss 21". Without the undulating element 1 and inside the hollows left by the bosses 2, 2', 2", 2"' are places of the bodies of electric heater 7, generating a maximum heat of over, intended to heat the corrugated element 1 to the appropriate extent; for this, the corrugating apparatus will comprise an electric cord connected to a plug allowing it to be connected to a any power outlet.

In order to prevent the heat given off by the heating elements from being communicated to the scalp, they will be insulated from the latter with an insulating material, such as asbestos, mica, etc.

The use and operation of the apparatus are as follows: Assuming that the apparatus is used to wave short hair, it is arranged as shown in FIG. 1, that is to say that the first boss 2 is located parallel to the stripe 8, and the branches 4, 4'. . . . being open, as indicated for Branch 4"' in dotted lines, fig. 3.

By maintaining the apparatus in this position, it is then sufficient to place the hair @ therein, to wave with a comb, so as to extend them suitably, and then to successively lower the branches 4 , 4′, 4″ in the corresponding recesses 3, 3′, 3″, the last Branch 4″’ being lowered lastly on the 1st boss 2″″, so as to trap therein the end of the wave hair; the branches 4, 4 '.r.estent a.ssujetties dann the lowered position by the fixing devices provided: ä for this purpose.

This operation finished and so that the wavy shape thus given to ä, 1a. hair is durable, it is sufficient to plug the plug of the electric cord into a power outlet, and to wait a certain time for the heat given off by the heating elements 7 to apere and thus fix the undulations.

In order to achieve the particular undulation form called "Marcel undulation" which comprises, apart from the aforementioned undulation, a zigzag undulation, it suffices, before lowering the first brauche 4, to place the hair obliquely Jans 1e same direction as the corresponding oblique edges of the element 1, and then to lower the said brauche 4, so as to fix the first corrugation in this position, thus placing the hair on 1'e: element 1, obliquely alternately in both directions, as the lowering of the branches 4, 4 ', 4<B>.......</B> it is possible to create the so-called "Marcel" wave.

To facilitate the operation consisting of placing RTI ID="0002.0273" WI="4" HE="4" LX="1352"LY="748"> the hair in zigzags on 1, element 1, the wavy edges of the latter are cut out in zigzags, as represented in fig. 3; in this way, the arrangement of the hair in zigzags on the waving device is made, so to speak, automatic.

The shape, the number, as well as the dimensions of the undulations of the element 1 are not limited to those of the apparatus described, and 1a. construction thereof could vary without going beyond the scope of the invention.

In addition, the apparatus described conforms so as to be able to wave the hair of a head having the parting: on the right, but it is provided for apparatus whose 1e boss: of larger diameter, would be located on the left, so as to allow 1 the undulation of the hair of a head having the parting on the left.

Claims (3)

CLAIM Apparatus for waving hair, characterized by an undulating Alement, on one of the undulated sides of which are artiu16es, by one end, branches dopt the mobile end presents a fixing means allowing so as to fasten them on the corrugated side opposite to that mentioned, said apparatus further comprising at least one heating element, the state being such that a hair can be placed on the ment undulates, and then lower the articulated branches on the latter, so as to marry the hair in the undulations of the undulated element. SUB-CLAIMS 1 Apparatus according to claim, characterized by a metal undulating element comprising on each side a boss, one of the latter, serving to undulate the end of the hair, being of section more Brande than the others, and also comprising an articulated brauch of corresponding section. 2 Apparatus according to claim, characterized in that electrical heating bodies are fixed within the bosses of the corrugated element. 3 Apparatus according to claim, characterized in that the undulating sides of the undulating element are cut in zigzags, so as to make automatic the operation consisting in placing the hair on the undulating element in zigzags, to create the so-called "Marcel" wave. 4. Apparatus according to claim, characterized in that the articulated branches are made of curved sheet metal, of half-round section, so as to match the hollow shape of the hollows of the corrugated element.
