This invenion relate's to: apparatus forplacing waves in hair.

" -Various forms of heating devices or rods have been devised for placing waves in hair. In order to produce alasting wave, the ha r must be. wound very tightly around the heating rod ortube and'must be securely held thereon. t V i Incarrying o'utthe usual method of so called permanent waving, a plurality of Strands of hair are first tied'together closeto the scalp. The tied" strands are then secured to one. end of the curling or heating tube or 'rod by tying the grouped strands thereto and the strands are then wound tightly 'around the 'rod and the ends are tied to the rod. moistenedstrip of felt or absorbent material, such as a pad,is then wound around the hair and this material is usually tied.

It will be'evident that'th'ecarrying out of the 'method just outlined requires a consid-.

erable amount. of time ,and when it is considered that the operation outlined must be repeated for'thirty or' forty different groups of strands on one head, thetimeexpenditure is exceedingly great; V V .This invention has for its. salient object to provide adevice of the character specified, so constructed andarranged that it's use will cut downvery materially and to a minimum,

the time required to produce or 'place waves p Y ventionjillustrated, the hair is 'wound on'a perforated sheath which may be heated 'in"any"suitable manneri In the drawings V there is shown a'heating element comprising a tube having a hi gh'resistance wiref26 in hair.

' Further objects of the invention will japper-mm h fo l P 'fia n;taken' in connection with the drawings, which'form of the clip device, namely, the. ring which isslidably and non rotatably mounted; on the tubular mem eror sheath on which the hair is 'wound'jif i i? 7 l l i "Fig; 4isjan 'elevational view of the spring Fig. 5 isa sectionalelevatlon ring on which the clipme'mbe'r's are mounted;

amodified form of sheath; and Fig.7 is a view similar to Fig.8 but showing a ring adapted for-use with the sheath construction shown in Fig. 6..

' The invention briefly described'oonsists of an improvement on the construction covered in Patent No. 1,652,751, granted December f 13,1927, to Ackley. In thepatent-referred to, there is shown a clip which is 'slidably mounted on the'sheath butjis non-rotatable with respect thereto. The invention covered in'this application consists of'a clip'which is 's'lidably mountedv on the sheath and is 'roI- tatable in one direction only. The sheath may be heated in any suitable manner and the hair is secured to the sheathatoneend thereof and close-to the-scalp by means ofa clip.

The hair is then wound tightly around the sheath and the free end is" placed under the clips carried by a slidably-mounted member. This member, with the clips, is rotatable in one direction'and tightly secures the hair to the sheath, the hair being-wound aroundthe rod or tube to the end of the strand. 'With this device, therefore,*no straight tip or end will ge left, but the entire length will be wave.

' Further details oftheinventioniwillappear from the following description.

In theparticular embodiment of the insurface with a covering 3010f absorbent ma;

terial. *The covering 30 is preferably spaced to a slightextent from the inner surface of V the sheath 20. i

Thesheath 20 is n-on' circular" in outline being shown in Fig. 2 as elliptical.

A plug 35 is secured to'the outer'enda of V the sheath and a" cork tip or button 36 is connected to the plug 35 and extendsbeyond the plugforthe purpose of insulating-the cross section of the outer surface of the sheath and-since the sheath is non-circular in cross. section, the ring is non-rotatable but is slid J ably mounted thereon. The outer surface of the ring 40 has a notch l1 therein, in which there is positioned an offset endor flange 42 of a spring 43. The spring 43 is formed from fiat stock and is wound into the shape shown in FigJl and thus extends around the ringionce and a fraction times. As shown, the spring extends around the ring slightly more than one and one-quarter revolutions. A ring 45, which is shown in Fig. 5, is placed over the ri-ng l0 and'sprin-g 43 and has a flange 46 which extends in-wardlyand encloses one edge of-the ring and spring. Clips 46 are secured tot-he outer surface-of the ring 4:5 and are bent inwardly as shown at 4:7 and longitudinally of the sheath as shown at 4:8. The clips are formed of 'resilient material and are adapted to resiliently'clampor hold the free end of the strand of hair.

Inoperation, after the hair has been wound tightly around the sheath 20, the clip device is moved longitudinally .on the sheath until the clips engage the free end of the hair. Theouter ring and the clips carried thereby are then turned or rotated on the inner ring and spring in the direction in which the hair is wound on the sheath, thus tightening the coil of hair on the sheath and causing the entirelength of the strand to be wound on the rod or sheath. The spring 43 efie ctively prevents any rotation of the outer ring in the reversedirection since rotation in such a direction tends to cause the spring to unwind or, in other words, tends to force the spring outwardlyagainst the inner surface oftheringtfi. Y1

In Fig. Gthereis shown a sheath .50 which is formed ofsheet material, the ends of which are clinched together, as shown at 51, thus forming a longitudinal ridge on the sheath. When this form of sheath is used, the ring 40 will be provided. with a recess 52, as shown in Fig. 7, toreceive the ridge 51. Although the drawings show the hair wound on a tubular member or sheath and the clip device mounted on the sheath, the device could be used with a rod on which the hair is wound. In such case the rod would be irregular or non-circular insection and the inner ring of the clip devicewou-ld be corresponding in section. t I,
