Abstract

A hood generally in the form of a U-shaped channel disposed directly over a strand of hair coiled or wrapped around a permanent wave rod, roller or curler, the hood being provided on its interior side and top walls with a plurality of apertures placed in communication with a source of suction for sucking chemical solutions or water from the hair, or controllably placed in communication with a source of liquid solution or water for impregnating the hair with such liquid solution or water. The hood of the invention may be made open at both ends of the U-shaped channel, or closed by end walls preferably also provided with apertures, or it may be made adjustable in length or adjustable in width such as to adapt itself to any size of permanent wave rods or curlers, or it may be made with appropriate inner interconnections such that a group of apertures acts as spray nozzles and another group of apertures act as suction ports to circulate water or a liquid solution under the hood.

Dependent claims

A suction hood for placing over hair rolled around a permanent wave rod or curler and for suctioning liquid impregnating said hair, said hood being in the form of a U-shaped elongated channel member comprising a U-shaped outer imperforate wall and a U-shaped inner wall provided with a plurality of apertures substantially over the whole surface of said U-shaped inner wall, said inner wall and outer wall being spaced apart and being connected by bottom walls such as to form therebetween a substantially U-shaped chamber closed at each end by an end wall, conduit means placing said U-shaped chamber in communication with a source of suction, and a U-shaped imperforate surface disposed within said chamber, said surface being closely proximate and parallel to said U-shaped inner wall provided with a plurality of apertures, said U-shaped imperforate internal surface forming a relatively small volume space in said U-shaped chamber in direct communication and close proximity with said apertures in said U-shaped inner wall, said relatively small volume space placing said apertures in communication with said source of suction through said U-shaped chamber and said conduit means, whereby effective suctioning of the liquid through said apertures is accomplished.
