This inventionrelates-to improvements in devices for making or producing permanent waves in human hair. particularlyto a novel and improved hair curling and waving device, and it is the principal object of my invention to pro- 11, hingedly connected at one end, as at 12, and

. about the hair'curler.

vide a device of this character permitting the convenient and constant observation of the steaming process through suitable windows.

Anotherobjectof my invention is the provision of a device of this type having its window openings closed by a material impervious to heat such as for instance a specially prepared celluloseskin in a suitable frame equipped with suitable strengthening means adapted to 'A further object of my invention is the provision of a hair treating device for the, production of permanent waves in which practically no heat is lost by the arrangement. of the windows, particularly-if an insert of wire mesh is used adapted to positively retain the heat in the package. l r

A-still further object of myinventionyisthe provision of a device of the'above described type which" is comparatively simple'and, therefore, inexpensive in its construction; yet durable and highly efiicient in its use.

It will be understood that I may use a permanent wave making device which may be heated by any convenient suitable heat, such as for instance electricity or the like, while I may use any suitable clamping means to clamp the windowed wrapper firmly and entirely about the hairon the curler and clamped thereto so as to positively avoid all loss of heat.

These and other objects and advantages of.

Fig. 3 is a perspective View of a curler and clamp used with my hair waving device.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of awrapper for the hair waver provided with windows.

Fig. 5 is a sectional end view of a modified form of hair waving device with a screen interlining.

As illustrated, a clamp of preferably rubber coated material is composed of the parts 10, and

be clamped provided'with a locking device 13 atits' opposite. end to clamp the hair 14 between its parts close to or in proximity of. the scalp 15.,

A metal curler -16, of a shape best shown in figure 3, serves to allow'a wrapping of the hair about the same and is provided with the end rollers 17, 18, of insulating materi'al'from which extend the posts 19, 20, for the attachment or the conductor wires of the curler 16. '1he wrapper or packing for the hairwouhd upon the curler 16 is preferably composed of'an outer paper cover 21,.and an inner sheet of tin foil 22 or the like, both having windows 23,24, formed therein and vclosedby transparent sheets of a material impervious. to heat fs'uchi 'as'a speciallyv preparedvcellulose skin isin-lglass or, the

like, permitting at alltimes' a convenient observa'-;

tion of the heating or steaming process.

Absorbent strips 25,. 26, which prevent the escape of moisture or steam when the wrapperis placed around the curler may. be. provided on the inside of the pad andare preferably clamped thereto by means of the fastening clips 27,28.

, When the wrapper is wound aboutfthecur'ler it is positively held in place by means of stamps ing device composed of the clamping jaws'29',

, engaging the side edges of the wrapper to closely hold the same about the curler and provided with handles 31, 32, pivotally connected near their outer ends by a pin 33 about which a spring 34 is wound between the handles, the ends 35, 36, of which engage the inner faces of the handles tending to normally press the same apart and to hold the jaws 29, 30, closed.

In the modified form of my invention between the outer cover 21 and the inner tin-foil sheet 22, a wire mesh 37 is interposed.

The operation of my device will be entirely clear from the above description by simultaneous reference to the drawing, and it will be evident that the hair after the application of clamp 10, 11, and locking the same can be wound about the curler 16 and if now the windowed wrapper is folded about the curler and hair and the source of heat commences to work, the

steaming or heating process can be conveniently watched through windows 23, 24.

It will be clear that the arrangement of a plurality of wrapping sheets will prevent a leak-' ing of the heat and thus greatly ensure the positive and safe operation of the device, while the air cushion formed between the single sheets of the wrapper will produce a better heat insulation, while the .wire screen or mesh insert will ensure the durability of the pack and will also tend to store and retain the heat avoiding all possible loss of the same through the wrapper which is tightly clamped about the pack by means of the strong clamp.

It will be understood that I have described and shown the preferred form of my device only as one example oi the many possible ways to practically construct the same, and that I may make such changes in the general arrangement thereof and in the construction of its minor parts as come within the scope of the the'hair on said curler, said windows permitting of a constant and convenient inspection of the steaming process. a

2. In a device as described including a hair clamp and a curler adapted to be heated upon which the hair held by said clamp is curled,

the combination of a wrapper for the hair curler with means for securing the wrapper over the hair and comprising a, wrapper composed of a plurality of layers adapted to be wound about said curler and hair, said wrapper having openings and windows for closing said openings, said windows permitting of a convenient observation of the heating process and preventing the escape of steam.

3. In a device as described, the combination of a wrapper for hair curlers with means for securing the wrapper over the hair, said wrapper composed of aplurality of heat retaining sheets, having openings and windows closing said openings, said windows permitting a convenient and constant observation of the hair and the steaming process and preventing the escape of steam.

4. In a device as described, the combination of a wrapper for hair curlers with means for securing the wrapper over the hair, said wrapper composed of a plurality of heat retaining sheets, having an opening and a window closing said opening, said window permitting a convenient and constant observation of the hair and the steaming process and preventing the escape of steam.

5. In a device of the make described, the combination of a wrapper for hair curlers with means for securing the wrapper over the hair, said wrapper for the curled hair comprising an outer paper cover and an inner metal foil lining both provided with windows of a material impervious to heat, said windows permitting of a constant and convenient inspection of the steaming process.

6. A wrapper for hair curlers in the making of permanent waves comprising a plurality of super-imposed heat retaining sheets having window openings and sheets of transparent cellulose impervious to heat closing said window openings and preventing the escape of steam.

7. A wrapper for hair curlers composed of a plurality of super-imposed heat retaining sheets having window openings closed bytransparent cellulose material impervious to heat and allowing a constant and convenient observation of the steaming process, a wire mesh interposed between said super-imposed sheets, said wire mesh acting as heat retainer and strengthening the wrapper.

8. A wrapper for hair curlers in the making of permanent waves comprising a plurality of super-imposed heat retaining sheets, having window openings, and sheets of transparent cellulose material impervious to heat closing said window openings, two strips of absorbent material fastened to the inner side of the wrapperso as to prevent any escape of steam or moisture while the wrapper is placed about the curler.
