2,000,456 DYEING SWAB John Schiffer, New York, N. Y.
Application June 9, 1932, Serial No. 616,205 9 Claims. (Cl. 132—12)
This invention relates-to a-swab which is particularly useful for dyeing hair.
One object of this invention is to provide a swab holder in which the swab part may readily 5 be replaced.
Another object of 'this invention concerns the control of the width or thickness of the swab, so as to allow the dyeing of particular sections of strands of hairs.
Another object of this invention; provides for retention of the dye in suitable retaining-means of the holder, from where it may be fed to the swab, commensurate to the degree-in which it is applied by the latter.
Other objects of this invention, which also concern the handiness and simplicity of construction of this device, will be more clearly understood from - the' accompanying drawing in which:
Fig. 1 shows the device of my invention in a side view.
Fig. 2 shows a corresponding top view.
Fig. 3 shows the side view of a modification of my invention.
Figs. 4 and 5 show transverse sections of the device of Fig. 3 in locked arid unlocked positions, respectively.
Fig. 6 shows the side view of another modification of a device of my invention.
Fig. 7 shows a corresponding top view of part thereof.
Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the various views.
The device of Figs. 1 and 2 shows a frame ! I 35 and a cover 12; the frame 11 comprises, first, a handle part 13, which is . pointed at its rear end 14; it therefore permits the picking up of a strand of hair which is to be dyed; secondly, the swab holder part 15, which is offset 40 vertically in respect to the holder part fl; in other words the swab holder extends beyond the fingers of the hand which holds the handle 11, so that the fingers holding the device are removed from the working plane.
From the holder part 15. laterally extend the threaded studs 16. The swab IT which is made of felt, wick or some other suitable ..material, which may absorb a dye, is perforated so as to fit over the studs 16 and it is clamped upon the 50 holder part 15 by the pressure of the nuts 19 which are tightened on top of the cover 12.
The swab 17 protrudes from the bottoms of the holder part 15 and: the cover 12 which are in substantial alignment and which are: toothed, 55 as indicated by the teeth 18, the toothed part Of the holder part and cover substantially matching each other, and serving to retain the swab between themselves, and to retain a reserve of dye. The swab IT extends to such a distance 60 from the holder, that its narrow lower edge may <sup>l</sup>be observed by the hairdresser while the hair or root thereof; is being dyed. At the same time it is close enough to the toothed ends of the holder part and cover that it is transversely held and restrained thereby and that it may -5 draw from the reserve dye contained between the teeth, while.the dye contained in the brush is being-used up by application to the hair.
While the device of,Figs. 1 and 2 allow an,adjustment. of the pressure exerted on the, swab by <sup>10 </sup>means of the holder part and the cover, it may be desirable to avoid protruding parts like the nuts 19,—which may interfere with free use and Observation, and the hair may be caught thereon.
Devices modified in this respect are shown in <sup>115 </sup>Figs. 3, 4, and 5, arid Figs. 6 and 7, respectively; these figures show the parts Ί Ι, 12, 13, 14, 15, IT and 18, like Figs. 1 and 2; the studs 16, arid nuts 19 are replaced in this instance by studs: 20 with heads 21. These studs protrude from hubs <sup>20 </sup>which are of substantially the same diameter as heads 21 and which partly extend into the correspondingly sized openings in the swab IT. The heads’2l are spaced at such a distance from the holder part 15, that the .swab IT is suitably <sup>25 </sup>compressed between said holder part and the cover 12 when said cover is engaged in .abutment underneath the heads 21. In the cover 12 are slots 23, which at their tops 25 allow ..passage of the heads 21, whereas they are. narrower <sup>30 </sup>at their lower ends 24, where they are only of a width accommodating the stud, 20. When the dyeing swab of Figs. 3, 4 and 5 is assembled, the head.21 first registers with the part 25 of hole 23, and the: lower ends of teeth 18 of cover 12 <sup>3S </sup>register with the bottom edge of the swab > 11. The device is shown in this unlocked position: in Fig. 4. But then the cover 12 is pushed up underneath heads 21, so that the studs 20 slide into the lower, narrower parts 24 of the slots and the lower ends of the teeth 18 of the cover as<sub>;</sub> well as of the holder part come, to, register, the-swab protruding from therebetween.
A depression 26 is provided in the cover 12, <sub>4g </sub>by means of which the cover may be engaged by the nail of the finger, so that it can be conveniently pulled up from the position of Fig. 4 into that of Fig. 5.
The slots 23 may of course be horizontally <sub>go </sub>disposed in the cover 12 instead of being disposed therein vertically, in which: latter instance the locking motion takes place horizontally.
A transverse locking motion also locks the de- 55 vice of Figs. 6 and 7.
The modification of these two figures does not comprise any studs, but there is an undercut recess 2T in the frame 11, between the handle portion and holder part thereof, into which a jq
2,000,456 laterally protruding tongue 28 of cover 12 may be inserted, the swab 17 being compressed between the cover and the holder part when the former is thus inserted in the frame. From 5 the cover 12 extends a key 29, which fits into a suitable recess in the handle part above the recess 27, and which serves to guide the cover horizontally. Another lug 30 protrudes from, the top of cover 12, said lug serving as a grip 10 to the operator for shifting the cover transversely, during the locking and . unlocking operations.
At the same time, when the tongue 28 is inserted in recess 27, the cover is pressed so hard 15 down onto the swab 17, that a hook 31 extending . from the other end of the cover engages underneath the holder part 15. In this manner I also show a tongue 32, which matches a recess in the back side of the holder part, and which 20 corresponds in respect to its function to tongue 29.
The swab shows suitable openings in the two modifications, by means of which it is held in a correct position over the studs. The pins 33, 25 indicated in Figs. 6 and 7,. serve the same purpose. The device is assembled by placing the swab in the correct position on the holder part, the studs and pins holding it in such a correct position whereupon the cover is clamped onto <sub>30</sub> the holder part in the manner shown in one or the other modifications of the drawing.
A shallow dish or trough contains the dye, which substantially fills the said container, so that the swab holder may be held substantially 35 horizontal while the end of the swab protruding from the holder and the teeth of the holder are inserted in the liquid and engage upon a quantity thereof which is suitable for carrying on the dyeing operation for a certain period of time.
It is readily seen from the drawing that particular attention was given in the construction of the device of this invention to enhance the lightness so that the device may readily be j- manipulated and that the hairdresser may observe at all times the work performed with this device.
While I have shown and described my invention with some degree of particularity, it will be <sub>50</sub> realized that other modifications and changes may be resorted to under special conditions. I therefore do not wish to be limited and restricted to the exact details shown and described, but reserve the right to make such <sub>g5</sub> changes and modifications as may fairly fall within the scope of the subject matter now being claimed.
