// INVENTOR Patented Apr. 5, 1932 ES PATENT OFFICE HARRY REGINALD HOKIN, 0F LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA HAIR WAVING DEVICE Application filed July 23,

This invention relates to a device for tolding, winding or crimping hair and holding it in a desirable roll or fold while it is'being treated with a heated solution in a manner well known in this art.

To those skilled in this art it is well known that the scalp must be protected from injury while the heating process is in operation, also that the roll of hair must be closely intolded with protective pads of ielt, auze, paper or other suitable material. It has been found that rolling the hair on a spindle or other device, holding it in place, tightening the roll and holding the various parts in place, while the pads are placed in position, requires careful manipulation, and there is possibility of trouble due to the fact that there are many parts to manipulate at the same time.

It is an object of this invention to provide means whereby the roll of hair may be held in place while the pads are being put in position.

A further object is to provide means whereby the spindle upon which the hair is wound may be turned to tighten the roll of hair and means whereby the spindle may be released readily, and a further object is to provide means to protect the scalp from in- A still further object is to so arrange the parts that the least obstruction is presented to wrapping the hair coil and attaching the heating device.

The device included in my invention is con structed with the least complication of parts to achieve the results intended, is easily and economically manufactured and simplifies the necessary manipulation.

Further objects and advantages of my invention will become apparent from the following specifications considered in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 is a general assembly of the va rious parts into the complete unit as in operation except the wrapping pads.

Figure 2 is a vertical section through the center of Figure 1 on the line 2'42 Figure 3 is a plan view of the base assembly showing the insulated clip bars and posts.

1930. Serial No. 470,137.

Figure 1 is a more detailed end view of key post and the spring pawl.

Figure 5 is a more detailed end view of the ratchet plate. f

Figure 6 is a more detailed end view of 1 locking head showing the spaced recesses.

Figure 7 is a sectional view on the line 7-7 of Figure 1, and

Figure 8 is a section at 8-8 of Figure 2.

Referring to the drawings with more particularity, through the spool 1 the freely fitting tube 2 passes lengthwise. This tube is securely fixed at one end in the locking head 3 and at the other end is securedin thelocking head l by the screw 5. This tube has a cut away portion at 6. In the spool 1 is also a cut out recess 7. The key post 8 has a flanged portion 9. To the flange is secured a spring pawl 10. The key post is securely mounted on a. shaft 11 in which there is a stud 12 "To which, when the device is assembled, is positioned in the cut away place 6 of the tube and in the cut recess 7 of the spool. Secured to the locking head 3 is a ratchet plate 1 3 which is engaged by the pawl 10. On the end of the shaft 11 is a milled locking nut 14.

When theparts thus described are assembled, if the locking nut 14 is slightly released the shaft 1.1 is free to turn in the tube 2 and with it the key post 8 and the pawl 10. Thus the shaft maybe turned to cause the pawl to engage in various of the notches of the ratchet plate 18. When the shaft 11 is thus turned in the tube it is limited in its movement by the stud 12 which engages in the cut away portion of the tube, but the stud 12 will carry with it the spool 1, thus turning it a part of a revolution within the limits of the cut away opening in the tube. This operation is nec essary to tighten the roll of hair which may be wound on the spool as will be further explained The base clamp shown more clearly in Figure 3 consists of aybar 15 and a bar 16 which are covered with insulatingtubes 15 and16f as protection for the scalp against heat and the solution used in this art. The bars 15 and 16 are hingedly connected by the link 17. The opposite end of the bar 15is also hingedly attached to the link 18 in which is hingedly mounted a lever 19 having a lug 20. The bar 16 is extended and has a notch 21 into which the lug 20 engages when the bar 16 is inserted between the plates of the link 18. 19 is used to force the bars snugly together, the lug 20 functioning as can On the link 17 is a projectin stud 22 and on the link 18 is a projecting stud 23, which, when in operable position engage the locking heads 3 or 4 in the spaced recesses 24.

In operation the base clamp shown in Figure 3 is clamped about a lock of hair close and locked by the lever 19 as described. The lock of hair is wound on the spool 1 until the spool is close to the base clamp. The studs 22 and 23 are inserted in the spaced recesses 24of the locking heads 3 and 4;. If it is then necessary to tighten the hair on the spool the key post 8 may be turned by means of a key or other means which by turning shaft 11 also turns the spool 1 by means of the stud 12, the pawl 10 holding the shaft 11 from turning back by engaging the ratchet plate 13. The spool may then be locked by tightening the thumb nut 14. WVhen the thumb nut is again loosened the spool may be turned in the reverse direction to relieve tension on the hair by pushing the shaft over sufficiently to disengage the pawl 10 from the ratchet plate 13.

After the device is in position as just described the roll of hair may then be enclosed in moist pads and protective pads and heated in a manner well known in this art. It will be instructive to point out that the device commonly used to clamp the pads about the roll of hair is similar to that shown in Figure 3 and to facilitate its use the studs 22 and 23 are peculiarly formed, being very thin so as to interfere with the closing of.

the clamp as little as possible.

. Having thus described my invention what I claim-is:

1. In a device of the characterdescribed, a spool having therethrough a tubular shaft, the spool rotatable on said tubular shaft, means to limit rotation of said spool, locking members on said tubular shaft, a ratchet on one of said locking members, a shaft through said tubular shaft, a pawl on said shaft and means for locking said shaft from rotation.

2. In a device of the character described, a spool having therethrough a tubular shaft, the spool rotatable on said tubular shaft, a recess in said spool, a cut away place in said tubular shaft, locking members on said tubular shaft, a ratchet on one of said locking members, a shaft throughsaid tubular shaft, a pawl on said shaft, a stud in said shaft projecting through said cut away place in said tubular shaft and into said recess and limiting the rotation of said spool and means for locking said shaft from rotation.
