This invention relates to means for cooling the head of a person taking a permanentwave, the general object of the invent on bemg to provide means for introducing chilled air against the scalp while the permanent wave devices are in use so as to prevent the heating devices from heating the scalp.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combina- 0*tion and arrangement of the several parts,

to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is an elevation of the cooling de- 203 vice.

Fig. 2' is a sectional view through the casing containing the motor driven fan.

Fig. 3 is a sectional View through the ice box.

Fig. A is a section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 is a section on the line 55 of Fig. 2.

Figs. 6 and 7 are views of the pads.

Fig, 8 is a sectional view showing how the nozzle is placed through the openings ofthe pad so that the air therefrom will impinge against the scalp to keep the same cool.

In these drawings, the letter Aindicates a casing which includes the base 1,'the housing 2 and the sound insulating lining 3. A motor 4 is supported by the block 5 of rubber or the like, and a fan casing 6 is connected with the motor casing and a fan 7 to the shaft 8 of the motor, the fan being located in the fan casing. Balance blocks 9 of rubber or the like are placed in the ends of the casing, one block engaging an end of the motor housing and the other a part of the fan casing.

The motor casing and the fan casing are spacedfrom the internal walls of .the housing A and the front wall of the fan casing is provided with the openings 10. A tubular member 11 extends through the base of the housing and air entering the tubular member will flow into the housing and around the motor and fan casings and then through the 1931. Serial No. 547,139.

opening 10 into the fan casing and this air will be driven by this fan through the tubularextension 12 of the fan casing which projects from the bottom of the housing and through the nipples 13 carried by the cap 14 which fits over the extended end 12 and then thru thehose 15 through the elongated nozzles 17 which are each provided with a flattened and curved nozzle end 18. The hose 15 will be connected in any suitable manner to the nozzles and the nipples 13, though I prefer to slip the hose over the parts. 7 An ice'box B composed ofdouble walls spaced apart, as shown, has'its interior connected by a hose 22 to. the member 11150.

that chilled'air from the ice box will pass 6 intothe housing A. This box is provided with a hinged'top 23 which is also of double wall construction and the air enters the box. through the opening 24 and passes downwardlythrough the space 25 between inner and outer walls of oneside of the'casing, and then through a zigzag passage formed in the bottom of the casing by the baffles 30 and then up through the space 27 at the other side of the casing and into the box through the openings 28. The air then passes over the ice inth box and thru the nipple 29 into'the tube 22 and then the chilled air passes through the tubular part 11 into the housing A. I

The conductors for the motor are shown at 19 and a switch'20 controls the circuit and oil is supplied to the bearings of the motor through the tubes 21. o

Fig.6 shows a pad which may be used with the device, this pad consisting of'the two parts 30 pivotally connected together as shown at 31, each partbeing of substantially crescent shape so that when in closed position an opening 32 will be formed for the passage of the bunch of hairy as shown in Fig. 8. A flange 33 of felt orthe like is attached to each section for forminga chamber under thepad for the collectionof airwhen one of the nozzles is placed through an opening 34 in the pad as shown in Fig.8. The two members can be adj ustably connected together by the means showngenerally at 85.

Fig. 7 shows a modified form of pad or clip in which the two parts are connected together at one edge as shown at 36 and in this form of the device, it does not havea felt rim.

From the foregoing it will be seen that by placing a nozzle through theopening in the clip pad and starting the motor, chilled air will be drawn from the ice box into the housing A and from this housing the chilled air will pass through thehose and nozzles into the pockets formed by the pads and thus the scalp will be kept cool by the chilled air,

and there is no danger of burning of the,

scalp by the devices used for giving the permanent wave. 1

The slip on cap 14 and its nipples 18 act to reduce the volume of air passing from the device and thus create more pressure to the hose to the nozzle, and an air relief tube 37 connects the lower part of the fan outlet with the tubular member 11 and has a damper 38 therein for controlling the same. Thus this relief tube will relieve the pressure at the outlet of the fan when the pressurebecomes too great and thereby keeps the motor from overheating which it will do eventually, and the back pressure of air be comes too great.

Thus it will be seen that this slip on cap -has two functions; first to create more pres-1 sure, and secondly to carry the hose andthe pressure can be regulated byadjusting the damper 38.

This arrangement is one of the-most ime portant parts of the complete machine, as the reducing cap, the specific type of nozzles and the clip and pad combined provides an efficient device which can be used on hand operatedhair drying motor machines as well as stationary motor machines.

Thenozzles are so shaped as to not interfere with the wave producing machine or. parts andenables the nozzles to be readily passed in between the heating units to direct the air to those portions ofthe scalp'where itis needed, and desirable.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features ofthe invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood thatchanges may be made in the construction and in the combina- I tion and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new is: v

1. A device of the class described comprising a housing, a motor driven fan in said housing, an ice box, means for introducing air into the box, a connection from the box to the housing, whereby the operation of the fan will draw air thru the ice box into the housing, a discharge for the air from the fan, a nozzle and a hose for connecting the nozzle to said discharge.

'2. Means for cooling the scalp during permanent wave operations comprising a casing having an inlet and an outlet, a motordriven fan in the casing having the'discharge of the fan casing discharging through the outlet of the casing, a conduit connecting the inlet with the outlet and a valve in said conduit.

8. Means for cooling the scalp during a permanent wave operation comprising a casing having an inlet opening and an outlet opening therein, a motor driven fan in the casing, said fan having its discharge part in communication with the outlet opening, a removable cap closing the discharge open-. ing, nipples on the cap for receiving nozzle carrying hose and means for connecting the inlet of the casing to an air chilling device.
