An Instrument for Waving the Hair.
L, AUGUST KAUFMANN, of The Court Yard, Eltham, in the County of Kent,
"Hairdresser," 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 :-
My invention relates to instruments for waving the hair by heat or otherwise.
I turn or twist the hair round an oval or round tube, or solid piece of no matter
what material, or round a tube closed on one end; the article brought out with or
without fastenings to hold the hair, and also with or without handles.
Heated rod may be introduced into the tube to warm it.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawings thereof, reference being had to letters and figures
marked thereon.
Figure 1 represents the oval or solid metal B fixed to a wood handle A. C is the
section of the metal tube or rod B. The hair is wound round tube B.
Figure 2 is the iron B fixed in metal socket D, which is in turn fastened in
handle A, the iron to be held with a pin attached to a chain F, and to be left in
the hair to get cold after use.
Figure 3 denotes an oval piece B to be made out of leather or any other material,
and a wire G inside, to be loft in the hair all night and removed in the morning.
Figure 4 represents an oval piece B to be made out of material which must not be
soft and yet flexible, with handle A on one end, and india rubber ring I at the other
end H, to be left in the hair over night.
Figure 5 is an oval or round tube I closed at one end, with a fastening K to hold
the hair after it has been wound round the tube B of figures 6 or 7, either of these
may be inserted in the tube J.
Figure 6 denotes a handle A with a bolt B to fasten into figure 5 by the spring
catch L.
Figure 7 represents the handle smaller and bolt B, without a spring catch or
fastening.
The object of my invention is to permit persons waving the hair by twisting it
