COOLING ATTACHMENT FOR PERMANENT-WAITING APPARATUS.

Application led July 5,

my object is to provide a simple and inexpensive at-tachment of this character whereby cool air may be appliedto the scalp and head of a person while their hair is being .subjected to the process of permanent wavin further object is to provide an attachment which will supply cool air to the lscalp and head without cooling or otherwise lowering the efficiency of the electric heating elements forming a part of the permanent waving apparatus.

In order that the invention mayi be fully understood, reference will now be had to the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 shows a permanent waving apparatus with a portion of my attachment applied thereto.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation partly in section of a portion of the attachment in operative position.

FFig. 3 is a cross section on line 3-3 of ig. 4 is a detail plan View of one of the cooling pads.

Fig. 5 is a section on line 5-5 of Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 is an inverted plan view of one section of one of the cooling pads.

Fig. 7 shows amotor and a fan for supplying the cool air, with a housing enclosing said motor and fan.

around which a portion of the hair A is twisted and held in place by a primary wrapper 16, which in turn is held in place by a secondary wrapper 18 which may be treated with any suitable liquid used in the permanent waving process. The primary wrapper 16 is further secured in place next to the scalp B by means of a clamp 20. The secondary wrappers 18 are wound sufficiently tight to enter the respective tubular heating elements 2. All of the foregoing parts may be of ordinary form so a detailed description of their construction and operation is deemed unnecessary.

Referring now more particularly to the 1927. seriai No. 203,523.

cooling attachment forming the present invention, 22 designates what I term a cooling pad which consists of an upper section 24 and a lowei' section 26. Said sections 24 and 26 arc pivotally connected by means of a tubular rivet-27, so that they may be opened to admit the wrapper 16 and then closed around said wrapper as shown by Figs. 2 and 3. The inner adjacent portions of the sections 24'and 26 are curved in opposite directions as indicated at 28 and 30 in order to lit around the wrapper 16- and permit the free ends of said sections to overlap.- The sections 24 and 26 are held in closed position by a protruberance 29 'which projects downwardly from the sections 24 and enters a recess 31 in theupper surface of the section 26.

The sections 24 and 26 are'preferably of composite construction, their upper portions consisting preferably of asbestos or other heat insulating material 32 and 33 and their lower portions consisting preferably of fiber 34 and 35, respectively The sections 24 and 26 have air' chambers 36 and 37 with discharge ports or openings'38 and 39, re-

. spectively, in their lower portions. 4

Air under pressure may be supplied to the chambers 36` and 37 by any suitable means. In the present instance I have shown vfor that purpose an electric motor '40 and a fan 42, which latter is ixedly mounted upon the lower end of the motor shaft 44. The motor 40 and the fan 42 are enclosed in a housing 46 which is provided at its upper portion with air inlet ports 48 and' at its lower end with nipples 50. Flexible tubes 52 are connected at their upper ends to the nipples 50 and provided at their lower ends with couplings 54 which are secured in the upper portions of the tubular rivets 27. Each tubular rivetl 27 is provided with'air ports 56 and 57 which communicate withn the'air chambers 36 and 37, respectively.

The housing46 is supported in any suitable manner. In the present' instance I have shown its upper end provided with a hook 58 for engagement with the hooked lower end of a rod 60 depending from a disk 62 supported by the hook 12 and secured in the center ofthe ring. 10 by arms 64. The lower portions of. the tubes 52 are provided with asbestos or other heat nonconducting sleeves 66 to protect them and the air flowing therethrough fromv the heat radiated from theV heating elements 2.

, After the ermanent waving a paratus has been app ied to the hair as s own by Fig. 1, the coolin pads 22 are laced in position around the Iowe'r ends o the wrappers 16. As electric current is supplied to 'the heating elements 2, thes motor 40 is started to drive the fan 42A which sucks in air through the inlet port-s 48 land forces it out upon the I- l hair and scalp through the tubes 52, the

tubular rivets 27, the air ports 56 and 57, the air chambers 36 and 37, and the discharge openings 38 and 39.l As the cool air is discharged upon the scalp B it maintains the head at a comfortable temperaturev and guards against overheating vby the hot air radiated from the heating elements 2 Without in any way lowering the efficiency of the latter, as the air is discharged against the scalp, as stated, and not in the direction of said heating elements 2.

From the foregoing description it is apparent that I have provided an apparatus well adapted for the purpose intended, and While I have shown and describedthe preferred construction, combination and arrangement of parts, I reserve all rights to such modifications .as properly. Jfall withinV the. spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

vHaving thus described my invention, what' I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. In combination with .permanent hair waving apparatus including curling pins, devices adapted'to be applied to said curling pins and having air chambers with outlets directed towards the scalp, and means for forcing air through said chambers and said outlets.

l 2. In combination vwith permanent hair waving apparatus including curling pins, devices adapted to be applied to said curling pins and having air chambers with outlets,

' tubes connected to said devices and communieating with said air chambers, and means for forcing air .through said tubes, chambers andv said outlets.

y3. In combination with 4permanent haii` wavingapparatus including curling pins, devices adapted to be applied tol said curling pins and having air chambers with outlets,

mecano@ tubes connected to said devices and com municating with said air chambers, a housin yhaving an air -inlet port and to which said tubes are connectedand means within said housing for ldrawing air into the latter and forcing it out upon the scalp through said tubes, air chambers and outlets.

4. In combination with permanent hair waving apparatus including curling pins, devices ada ted to be applied tosaid curling pins and lhaving air chambers with outlets, tubes connected to said devices and. communicating with said air chambers, a housing having an air inlet port `and to which said tubes are connected, a motor mounted Within said housing, and a fan mounted 6. In a device of the character described,

a pad having an air chamber with inlet and outlet orts, and means communicating with said in et ports for forcing air through' the chamber and the outlet port.

7 In a device of the character described, I

a pad consisting of two sections having air chambers with outlets, and la tubular niem-` ber `operably connecting said lsections and provided with ports communicating with said chambers. lf

8. In a device of the character described,

va pad consisting of two composite sections having their adjacent edges curved in opposite directions, said sections having air chambers with outlets, and a tubular member operably connecting said sections and provided miL with 'ports communicating with said air chambers. I

`In testimony whereof I aix m si ature.
