HAIR WAVING PAD Filed Aug. 15, 1929 l 7? we 72 for M/fl'am q. aha/72 (J fiffo; Iggy I Patented July 29, 1930 WILLIAM G. SHELTON, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI HAIR-WAVING- @AD Application filed August 15, 1929. Serial No. 386,005.

- My invention relates to the art of hair waving and consists in a novel waving pad unit to be applied to the hair during the waving operation.

One of the objects of my invention is'to provide a compact waving pad unit bound together so that the different elements of the pad will always be arranged in' the proper order when placed over the hair by the operm ator. I

Another object of my invention is to provide a compact waving pad unit comprising elements bound together in book torm, one of said elements being of liquid absorbing material, so that this latter element may be dipped into a waving liquid by taking hold of the other elements of the pad in a bent back position. v

Another object of my invention is to pro- 50 vide a waving pad that will insure against burning the hair of the user.

In the accompanying drawings which illustrate a selected embodiment of my invention-- :5 Figure 1 is a top view with the difierent elements of the unit separated at one corner of the pad. In this and other figures the thickness of the sheets is exaggerated on account of drafting conditions.

. Figure 2 is an end view with the difi'erent elements of the unit separated along their free edges.

Figure 3 is an end view of the unit in position on the hair in a heater.

5 My pad unit preferably. comprises six sheets of different material of the same width and length bound together in book form.

,On the outside of the pad, that is the side that is placed adjacent to the heater, is a composite sheet of foil 1 and oil paper 2 pressed to ether with the foil on the outside. Next to t is is a sheet of asbestos 3, after which comes a sheet of absorbent pa er 4, preferably blotting paper, a sheet of annel i 5 and last a sheet of gauze 6.

The arrangement of the difl'erent elements of my pad is of value. The sheet of foil 1 is placed on the outside because it is intended to conduc t the heat over as large surface I of the wave as possible, and through it, heat will be evenly transmitted to the inner ele-' vments of the pad. The oil paper 2 serves to drive the steam from thenioisture of-the blotting paper inwardly. The flannel 5 is placed inside of the blotting paper to absorb moisture from the blotting paper so that nothing but steam will reach the hair and to form a packing about the hair. The gauze 6 constitutes a foraminous spacer to further insure against burning the hair.

The diflerent elements of the pad are sewed together adjacent to one series of alined edges as indicated at 7. Other scour ing means might be used such as staples or wire, but it is believed that the most satisfactory results will be obtained by means of a thread securing element.

The diflerent sheets of the pad are of the same length and width and are secured-together with all of the edges of the sheets alined, as shown at 8, 9, 10 and 11. T

This alinement is of value, because throughout the length and width of the pad every element is cooperating with every other ele- I ment to protect the hair from the intense heat generated by the heater. With every element thus alined, there is also the advantage of having no projecting element, such as a piece of foil, conducting the heat directly to the hair and scorching the same, or saturated'blotting paper or flannel dropping hot fluid on the scalp, or flannel or gauze becoming ignited and burnin the hair.

To apply the device to the %air, elements 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 are turned back and held in the hand and member 4 is submerged in a fluid. When member 4 has become saturated, it is removed from the fluid, and the pad unit restored to a closed book Lpositiori. The pad is then placed over the ro of hair 12 in which the rod ll'has been wound and the heater 13 placed thereon, clamping jaws 14 and 15 holding the same in-place. Jaws 14 and 15 engage the outside of the pad with the combined thickness of the pad layer between each jaw and the hair t us avoiding cutting or breaking of the hair. The hair is then ready to be curled.

Obviously, many of the details of the described structure may be varied without departing from the spirit of my invention and I contemplate the exclusive use of all such modifications as come within the scope of my claims.

I claim: V 1. In a waving pad unit, a sheet of metal foil, a sheet of heat insulating material, a sheet of absorbent paper, a layer of absorbent cloth and a layer of gauze, all of said elements having their edges alined, and securing means extending substantially throughout the length of one of the series of alined edges.

2. In a wavinglpad unit, a sheet of metal foil, a sheet of eat insulating material, a

.sheet of absorbent paper, a layer of absorbent cloth and a layer of gauze, all bound in book form.

3. In an article of manufacture, a substan tially flat waving pad unit comprising a sheet for spacing the hair from a heater, a sheet for holding moisture to be vaporizedl by said heater a sheet for insulating the hair from said heater, and means binding said sheets to each other in book form with their edges alined.

4. In an article of manufacture, a waving pad to be used in a croquinole waving unit comprising a heat conducting sheet, heat insulating, fluid holding and spacer sheets bound in substantially flat book form for cooperating with a heater unit to wave the hair, said ad protecting the hair from burning.

5. n an article of manufacture, a waving pad unit comprising substantially flat'elements of equal length and width bound in book form with their edges alined, one of said elements being of heat insulatin material, another of said elements being 0 liquid absorbing material, other of said elements being adapted to space the hair to be waved from a heater, all of said elements being adapted to cooperate to protect the hair from burning while the same is being waved.

6. In an article of manufacture, a waving I pad unit comprising substantially flat elements of equal length and width bound in book form with their ed es alined, the outermost element being of eat conducting material, an adjacent element being of heat insulating material, an element inside of said [adjacent element being of liquid absorbingmaterial, additional inside elements being adapted to space the hair to be waved from a heater, all of said elements being adapted to cooperate to allow the heater to wave the hair, but to protect the hair from burning.

7. In a wavin pad-unit, elements of equal I length and widt the outermost element besignature this 13th day of Augu 'nal edges, all of said elements being a apted I to cooperate to allow the heater to wave the hair, but to protect the hair from burning.

8. In a waving ad unit, a sheet of metal foil, a sheet of as estos, a sheet of blotting paper, and a sheet of flannel, all of said sheets being of substantially the same dimensions and arranged in book form being bound along one edge.

9. In an article of manufacture, a waving pad unit comprising a sheet of metal foil, a sheet of heat insulating'material, a sheet of absorbent paper, a layer of absorbent cloth and a layer of gauze, all of said elements lying substantially flat and having their edges alined, and securing means extending substantially throughout the length of one of the series of alined edges.

10. In an article of manufacture, a waving pad unit comprising a sheet of metal foil, a sheet of heat insulating material, a sheet of absorbent paper, a layer of absorbent cloth and a layer of gauze, all bound in substantially flat book form.

11. In an article of manufacture, a substantially flat waving pad unit comprising elements of equal length and width, the outermost element being a sheet of metal foil,

an adjacent element being a sheet of asbestos,

sheet of asbestos, a sheet of blotting paper,

and a sheet of flannel, all of said sheets being of substantially the same dimensions and arranged in substantially flat book form being bound along one ed e.
