Improved Shampooing Shield.
I ALEXANDRE FERDINAND GODEFROY, of 6231 Olive Street, St. Louis,
Missouri, U.S.A., and residing in England at 290 Fulham Road, London, S.W.,
Hair Merchant 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 has for its object to prevent soiled water or other liquids
employed in shampooing from running down the face and neck of the party
being shampooed.
And in order that my invention may be fully understood, I will now proceed to
describe the same, with reference to the drawings accompanying this Specification, in
which
Fig. 1 shews a perspective view of the shield as it would appear when in use for
shampooing a lady's head.
Fig. 2 shews a plan of the upper side of the shield out of use. Fig. 3 shews a
plan of the under side of the same.
The same letters are employed to denote the same parts in all the views.
a shews a frame made of wire or other suitable springy material, 6 shews a
waterproof covering, fixed on to the frame a, e shews a flap divided into two. Tho
two parts of the said flap are hooked to the frame a, on the hooks d, e, f and 9. It
will be seen that the ends hh of the flap c have a number of holes, so as to be
capable of adjustment, to suit any size of lead, as hereafter described. k shews a
hole in the covering b, shews.cords, connected with the cord. This latter passes
over a pulley m and has a weight n connected to its free end. o shews a nozzle,
fitting on the frame a, and connected with the waste pipe p, q shews a rose, through
which water or other desired liquid passes. shews the supply pipe.
One side of the flap c 1 have shewn in dotted lines, turned down, and as it would
appear when out of use.

page_text: The action is as follows :-
-
The scalp is passed through the hole A, and the holes, the latter being formed by
the divided flap c. The ends h h and points of this flap are then hooked on to the
hooks d e f g, so as to make the flap c fit round the scalp. This flap being preferably
of india-rubber, makes it to fit tightly round the head, so as to prevent the water
running down. The cord is then connected to, the cords, which will have the
effect of drawing the sides and front of the shield up, as shewn at big, so as to
form a kind of bath, in which the hair is contained. The supply tap is then turned
on, to shampoo the head, the water running off by the waste pipe p. I bave
shewn the rose supported by the arm t,, but this forms no part of my invention, as
I may prefer to hold the pipe and direct the water over the head in the ordinary
way.

tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what [
claim is:-
