Hair-curling appliances.-In apparatus for suspending electric heaters &c. used in permanent hair-waving, slides mounted on horizontal swing- ing arms engage the suspension cords or leads of the heaters with sufficient friction to support the weight of the appliance while allowing the cord to be drawn through to adjust the heater vertically. A fitting 1, Fig. 1, adapted to be secured to the ceiling or floor, carries a socket tube 3 split at its outer end, in which slides a tube 4, which may be straight or L-shaped. A collar is provided at the end of the tube 4, and a ring inside the end of the tube 3, with a coil spring between the collar and ring. Around the end of the tube 3 is a clamping-ring 9, Fig. 9, which is tightened by means of a bolt 12 having a boss 13 with a cam-plate 14 adapted, on rotation of the bolt by operating a rocking arm 15 by means of chains 16, to contract the ring 9 and the end of the tube 3 tightly on to the tube 4. On the longitudinal arm of the tube 4 is slidably mounted by means of a split eye 18 a carrier 17, Figs. 1 and 2, comprising top and bottom covers 20, 21, and a cylinder 22 of insulating material. The covers 20, 21 carry pivot pins 23, on each of which is mounted a swinging arm 24, preferably of hollow rectangular section. The pins 23 on the lower cover may be arranged intermediately of those on the upper cover. The arms may be of U-shape, forming double arms, the free ends of which are pivoted on separate pivots on the top and bottom covers. The cylinder 22 is provided with plug sockets 26, connected to annular conductors 27, for the plugs of the leads to the heaters. Two-point or threepoint plugs may be used. Alternatively, branches from the main lead may be taken through hollow pivot pins and through the arms 24 to sockets at the ends thereof. To suspend the heaters, slides 36, Figs. 1 and 7, are fitted to the arms 24, carrying insulating rings 37 through which the leads. pass with sufficient friction to support the weight of the heaters. The heaters 35, Fig. 1, are connected to the lower ends of the leads 43 by an attachment comprising a wire or chain 38 attached to one end of the heater and having a runner 39 sliding on the lead 43, by adjusting which the heater may be held at any inclination.
