PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with the Securing or Fixing of
Artificial Fringes and the like.
We, SIEGMUND LICHTENFELD and WILLIAM KLUGE, both of 300, Regent
Street, London, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements in or connected with the securing or
fixing of artificial fringes and the like, the object being to permanently secure the
fastening or attachment to the said fringe in such a manner that the latter can be
quickly and easily secured in position without the use of additional or loose
hair-pins.
In carrying our invention into practical effect, the fringe or the like which may
be of any convenient size and shape is furnished with two fastenings, placed one
upon either side and which may take the form of hair-pins, small combs or plates
of suitable material furnished with teeth, or other similar contrivances may be
employed, said fastenings being connected together by one or more lengths of
suitable springy or elastic material.
In order to secure the fringe or the like in position, it is only necessary to
grasp the sides of same and separate the aforesaid fastenings sufficiently, the
fringe being then placed in position and the sides released, when the aforesaid
two fastenings are drawn together by the elastic material and bury themselves in
the natural hair of the wearer, thus firmly securing the fringe or the like in
position.

Improvements in or connected with the Securing or Fixing of
Artificial Fringes and the like.
We, SIEGMUND LICHTENFELD and WILLIAM KLUGE, both of 300, Regent
Street, London, Gentlemen, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Our invention relates to improvements in or connected with the securing or
fixing of artificial fringes, and the like, the object being to permanently secure
the fastening or attachment to the said fringe in such a manner that the latter
can be quickly and easily secured in position without the use of additional or
loose bair-pins.

page_text: In carrying our invention into practical effect, the fringe or the like which may
be of any convenient size and sbape is furnished with two fastenings, placed
one upon either side and which may take the form of hair-pins, small combs, or
plates of suitable material furnished with teeth, or other similar contrivances may
be employed, said fastenings being connected together by one or more lengths of
suitable springy or elastic material.
In order to secure the fringe or the like in position it is only necessary to grasp
the sides of same and separate the aforesaid fastenings sufficiently, the fringe
being then placed in position and the sides released, when the aforesaid two
fastenings are drawn together by the elastic material and bury themselves in
the natural hair of the wearer, thus firmly securing the fringe or the like in
position.
In order that our invention may be more fully understood, we will now proceed
to describe same with reference to the accompanying drawing which is an
underside view of the network foundation of a fringe drawn to a somewhat
enlarged scale, and showing our improved means for fastening or securing same in
position.
As shown in the drawing our invention consists in the arrangement of two small
combs c, c, of any suitable material and secured one towards each end of the
foundation of the fringe. The aforesaid two combs are preferably connected by
two short lengths of suitable elastic material as shown for the purpose of drawing
them into the natural hair of the wearer for securing fringe in position, as
herein before described.
It is obvious that the combs may be replaced by other suitable fastening
devices, such as, small hair-pins, metal plates furnished with teeth or serrations or
the like, while the form or arrangement and number of the elastic connecting strips
may also be varied to suit requirements.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. The improvements in or connected with the securing or fixing of artificial fringes
or the like, comprising the arrangement of two or more small combs or other suitable
fastening contrivances connected together by a suitable length or lengths of springy
or elastic material, substantially as herein described and shown and for the purposes
specified.
2. The improvements in or connected with the securing or fixing of artificial
fringes or the like, substantially as herein described and shown, and for the
purposes specified.
