' Dea. 27, 1932. 8, N R W 1,8925262 HAIR WAVE SETTING DEVICE Sriginal Filed Jan. 24, 1931 Patented Dec. 27, 1932 PATENT OFFICE LUCY BRETT ANDREW, OF FOREST HILLS, NEW YORK HAIR-WAVE SETTING DEVICE Application filed January 24, 1931, Serial N0. 510,870. Renewed April 1, 1932.

This invention relates to a hair-wave setting device, more particularly a device adapted to be temporarily applied to a womans hair to effect the setting of a wave of predetermined form and size and ensure the maintenance of its configuration for a relatively long period of time after the device has been removed from the hair.

The object of the invention is to provide an adjustable hair-wave setting device of simple and inexpensive construction which can be readily applied to the hair and manipulated with ease and celerity, and which device can be as readily removed and be repeatedly used.

The invention is designed more especially for use in the formation and setting of the side hair waves which are now in vogue. A

preferred form of the device in such connection is illustrated in the drawing, wherein- Figure l is an elevation of the device.

Fig. 2 is a section enlarged of the protected tip portion of the device.

Figs. 8 and 4 illustrate the way the device is applied to the hair.

Fig. 5 represents the device as in use.

Referring to the drawing, 10 designates a piece of flexible wire, of copper or other suitable material, having a suitable protective covering 11, which wire is folded upon itself to afford an elongated loop having its free ends in close proximity. These ends are entered into the larger open end of a hollow metal tip 12, of tapering form, and therein secured in any suitable manner. as by indent- 5 ing or crimping the tip upon the wire.

Preparatory to the use of the device the hair has imparted thereto a conventional Wave formation at, for example, the side of the face. The device is then manipulated to push the tip 12 thereof a suitable distance under the portion of the hair between the dips a, as seen in Fig. 3. The projecting loop portion of the device is then manually expanded to the desired extent and bent over 45 upon the hair so as to bear against the op posing sides of the clips and clamp the intervening portion 6 of the wave upon the underlying members of the device, as seen in Fig. 4, thereby securely holding the hair in a predetermined wave condition. The device when thus applied is allowed to remain on the hair a sufficient period of time to ensure the setting of the wave, whereupon the device is removed for future use.

The tapering tip 12 not only unites the free ends of the looped wire, but it facilitates the initial pushing of the device under the hair; and the inherent flexibility of the elongated side members of the loop not only enable them to be readily spread or contracted 6G to afiord relatively wide Variability of the dips, but it also enables such members when they are folded over to clamp an extended area of the hair upon the underlying portions of the device, thereby ensuring a tight hold of the device upon the hair, yet permitting the device to be subsequently removed for future use when the desired setting of the wave has been effected.

I claim 1. A hair-wave setting device comprising an elongated loop of flexible wire and a protective connecting tip for the free ends of the wire, whereby the tipped portion of the loop can be readily pushed under the hair and the projecting members of the loop then be variably spread in spaced contact with the hair and bent into position to clamp the hair upon the underlying portion of the loop.

2. A hair-wave setting device comprising an elongated loop of flexible wire and a tapering protective connecting tip for the free ends of the wire, whereby the tipped portion of the loop can be readily pushed under the hair and the projecting members of the loop then be variably spread in spaced contact with the hair and bent into position to clamp the hair upon the underlying portion of the loop.

Signed at New York in the county and State of New York this 12th day of January A. D. 1931.
