PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Device for Fastening or Securing the Hair.
We, JOSEPH VIBERT and JULES DESRUOL, both of 10, Rue Jean de Tournes,
Lyons, in the Republic of France, Hairdressers, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an attachment the object of which is to unite and
fasten at or near the head, a larger or smaller quantity of hair.
It consists essentially of a ring through which the hair which it is desired to
fasten is passed, and of one or more teeth integral with this ring which are
embedded in the hair.
The teeth may be circular and spiral in form, or they may form a comb.
According to one form the improved attachment comprises a closed ring and
a spiral starting from the periphery of the ring and making one or two turns round
such ring.
,
Instead of a ring with a single spiral the device may consist of a ring having
three teeth or portions of spirals of smaller size.
In both cases the teeth should be separated somewhat from the plane of the
ring so that the attachment may be adapted to the curvature of the head the point
being bent so as to facilitate its entering the hair.
When in use the twisted hair is passed through the ring and the attachment
is brought close to the head, it is then only necessary to turn it in the proper direc-
tion for the point or points to penetrate the hair and firmly fix themselves therein.
According to another modification the teeth are arranged in the form of a comb
which is connected to the ring by a reduced or narrow portion thereof of varying
length. In this device the hair passes through the ring as before and the teeth
are fixed in the hair after the manner of a comb.

An Improved Device for Fastening or Securing the Hair.
We, JOSEPH VIBERT and JULES DESRUOL, both of 10, Rue Jean de Tournes,
Lyons, in the Republic of France, Hairdressers, 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 an attachment the object of which is to unite and
fasten at or near the head, a larger or smaller quantity of hair.

page_text: It consists essentially of a ring through which the hair which it is desired to
fasten is passed, and of one or more teeth integral with this ring which are
embedded in the hair.
The teeth may be circular and spiral in form, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 of the
accompanying drawing, or they may be straight or form a comb as shewn in
Figures 5 and 6.
Figures 1 and 2 represent in plan and in side elevation respectively an attach-
ment of this kind comprising a closed ring A and a spiral B starting from the
periphery of the ring and making one or two turns round such ring.
Figure 3 shows the same device having three teeth or portions of spirals of
smaller size.
In both cases the teeth should be separated somewhat from the plane of the
ring so that the attachment may be adapted to the curvature xy of the head
(Figure 2), the point C being bent inward so as to facilitate its entering the hair.
Figure 4 shews the device in position; the twisted hair being passed through the
ring and the attachment brought close to the head, it is then only necessary to
turn it in the proper direction so that the point or points C may penetrate the
hair and firmly fix themselves therein.
Figure 5 shows a form in which the teeth C forming a comb are united to the
ring A by a bent rod B of varying length. Figure 6 shews this device in position,
the hair passing through the ring A as before and the teeth being fixed in the hair
after the manner of a comb.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
:-
An attachment for the hair consisting essentially of a closed ring, through which
passes the hair to be fixed; the said ring being provided with one or more circular
or rectilinear teeth, which are embedded in the hair to maintain the device in
position.
