Improvements in Hair Curling Appliances.
1, WILLIAM LORD BALLIN HINDE, of the Firm of Hindes Limited, of
Metropolitan Works, Bromsgrove Street, in the City of Birmingham, Manu-
facturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in hair curling appliances with which the
hair is crimped or curled by means of a pin or stem pivoted upon and within an
enclosing frame.
The object of my invention is to so construct the pin or stem in two parts and
to mount it upon the frame in such a manner that it may be readily opened and
closed for receiving and securing the hair to be crimped or curled without risk of
shearing, cutting, or injuring the hair.
In carrying my invention into effect I form the pin or stem in two parts each
part being preferably of a half round section in order that the complete pin when
closed shall be free from sharp edges and present the appearance of a smooth
round bar. I draw out or flatten one end of each part of the pin and pivot the
same in the open end or jaw of the frame, the pivot joint being so arranged that
the two parts can be freely opened out by turning them on their pivots away from
each other, but cannot be caused to pass each, owing to the contact of their flat
surfaces, and thus no shearing or cutting action is produced by the opening or
closing of the pin.
The ends of the pin opposite to the pivot ends are enclosed within the closed
end of the frame, but for convenience in opening and closing I preferably make
the two parts of the pin of unequal lengths, in which case the longer of the two,
only, fastens itself at the closed end of the frame the shorter one being held upon
it by the tightness of its rivet or pivot, or when in use by the coil of hair rolled
upon the two parts of the pin.
I do not limit the application of my invention to any one form or pattern of
hair curlers or like appliances, but adapt the same with such modifications as may
be necessary to suit varying requirements.

I, WILLIAM LORD BALLIN HINDE, of the Firm of Hinides Limited, of
Metropolitan Works, Bromsgrove Street, in the City of Birmingham, Manu-
facturers, 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:-
This invention relates to improvements in hair curling appliances with which
the hair is crimped or curled by means of a pin or stem pivotted upon and within
an enclosing frame

page_text: The object of my invention is to so construct the pin or stem in two parts and
to mount it upon the frame in such a manner that it may be readily opened and
closed for receiving and securing the hair to be crimped or curled, without risk of
shearing, cutting, or injuring such hair.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings to be hereinafter
referred to.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved hair curler with the pin or stem
closed, and having a portion of one side of the frame removed to reveal the pin.
Figure 2 is a side elevation with the pin or stem opened out from the frame.
Figure 3 is a plan of the complete hair curler, and
Figure 4 an elevation of the pin or stem alone.
The same reference letters in the different views indicate the same parts.
In carrying my invention into effect I form the pin or stem A in two parts,
each part being preferably of a half round section in order that the complete pin
when closed shall be free from sharp edges, and present the appearance of a
smooth round or circular bar. I draw out or flatteu one end of each part of the
pin as illustrated, and pivot the same in the open end or jaw of the frame B, the
pivot joint being so arranged that the two parts can be freely opened out by
turning them on their pivots away from each other, as shown at Figure 2, but
cannot be caused to pass each other owing to the contact of their flat surfaces, as
illustrated at Figures 1, 3 and 4, and thus no shearing or cutting action is produced
by the opening or closing of the pin.
The ends of the pin opposite to the pivot ends are enclosed within the closed
end of the frame, but for convenience in opening and closing I preferably make
the two parts of the pin of unequal length, in which case the longer of the two
only, fastens itself at the closed end of the frame, the shorter one being held upon
it by the tightness of its rivet or pivot, or when in use by the coil of hair rolled
upon the two parts of the pin.
I do not limit the application of my invention to any one form or pattern of hair
curlers or like appliances but adapt the same with such modifications as may be
necessary to suit varying requirements.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is.
1. In hair curling appliances the use of a pin or stemn constructed from two parts
of a half round or similar section having one end drawn out and flattened for
pivotting within a frame in such a manner that when the parts are closed on to
each other the complete stem has the appearance of a smooth circular bar,
substantially as described.
2. An improved hair curling appliance arranged substantially as and for the
purposes hereinbefore described and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
