page_text: I, CAMILLA JULIER, residing at 107 Main Street, Greenfield, in the County of
Hancock, and State of Indiana, United States of America, Pattern-maker, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to devices for curling hair, and the object thereof, is to
provide an improved device of this class which is simple in construction and
operation and comparatively inexpensive, while being well adapted to accomplish
the result for which it is intended.
In the practice of my invention, I provide a hair curler which consists of two
parts composed of flexible wires or rods, each of which is provided at one end
with a loop, and said wires or rods are connected at the opposite ends, this connection
being a pivoted or hinged connection, and said wires or rods are each provided
with an eye or ring at their free ends one of which is adapted to be passed through
the other.
The wires or rods are covered by a flexible covering of soft leather or any
preferred material, and this covering extends from one end to the other, of the
device, and encloses the pivotal or hinged connection of said wires or rods, and the
said covering is packed with cotton, wool or any other flexible material, and is
preferably larger at one end of the device than at the other.
In practice, this device is used in a manner similar to that of ordinary curlers of
this class. The hair ing wound thereon, and the curler being twisted around
the hair so as to hold it in place; and by covering the hinged connections of the
wires or rods or extending the covering and packing thereover, I prevent the hair
from becoming entangled with said wires or rods at the point where they are pivotally
connected or hinged together.
In the operation of the device, the hair is wrapped around the part of the device,
and the other part is brought over and the separate ends locked together by means
of the loops or eyes connected therewith, and this holds the separate ends in place,
and the loop on the smaller end of the device is preferably formed so as to be
inserted through the loop or eye on the other end.
This device is light and durable, and by connecting the separate wires or rods,
I provide means for preventing the breaking of the device which frequently occurs
in curlers of this class when a continuous wire rod is employed.

page_text: Improvements in Devices for Curling Hair.
I, CAMILLA JULIER, residing at 107 Main Street Greenfield, in the County of
Hancock, and State of Indiana, United States of America, Pattern Maker, 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 devices for curling hair, and the object thereof is to
provide an improved device of this class which is simple in construction and
operation, and comparatively inexpensive, while being well adapted to accomplish
the result for which it is intended.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the
accompanying drawing forms a part, said drawing being a sectional plan or side
view of my improved hair curler.
In the drawing forming part of this specification, the separate parts of my
improvement are designated by numerals of reference, and in the practice of
my invention I provide two flexible wires or rods 5, each of which is provided
at one end with a loop 6, and said wires or rods are connected at the opposite
ends as shown at 7, this connection being a pivoted or hinged connection,
said wires or rods being each provided with an eye or ring, one of which is
passed through the other, as will be readily understood, and as is shown in the
drawing.
These wires or rods 5, are covered by a flexible covering of soft leather or any
preferred material, and this covering extends from one end to the other of the
device, and encloses the pivotal or hinged connection at 7, and the said covering
is packed as shown at 9 with cotton, wool, or any soft flexible material, and
the covering 8, is also preferably larger at one end of the device than at the
other.
In practice, this device is used in a manner similar to that of other hair curlers
of this class, the hair being wound thereon, and the curler being twisted around the
hair, so as to hold it in place and by covering the hinged connections of the wires
or rods 5, or extending the covering 8, and the packing 9, thereover, I prevent the
hair from becoming entangled with said wires or rods at the point where the
separate ends thereof, are connected.
The hair is preferably, in the operation of the device, wrapped around the
larger end of the device, and the smaller end thereof is brought over and
locked in the end loop of the larger end, and this holds the separate ends
thereof together, and the loop 6, on the smaller end of the device is preferably
so formed as to be inserted through the loop 6, on the larger end, and by means
of this arrangement, the separate ends of the curler will be securely held
together.
This device is light and durable, and by connecting the separate wires or rods
as shown at 7, I provide means for preventing the breaking of the device which
frequently occurs when a continuous wire or rod is employed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. A bair curler consisting of two flexible wires or rods which are pivotally
connected or hinged at one end, and each of which is provided with a loop at the
other end, said wires or rods being enclosed in a covering of leather or other flexible
material substantially as shown and described.

page_text: 2. A hair curler consisting of two flexible wires or rods which are pivotally
connected or hinged at one end, and each of which is provided with a loop at the
other end, said wires or rod being enclosed in a covering of leather or other flexible
material, and said covering being provided with a packing of suitable flexible
material, substantially as shown and described.
3. A hair curler consisting of two flexible wires or rods, which are pivotally
connected or hinged together at one end, and the opposite end thereof, being
adapted to be secured together, said curler being provided with a covering of
leather or other flexible material substantially as shown and described.
