The clamping'm-emb-er.11 has a bar 3&

which is 'centrallybent into'soinewhat a V- shape to provide two arms 35; 36. The V- shaped bar has its elbow pivoted, at 3'7,

the aw 38 may be similar insize tot-he aw orplate20 of th'el'clamping nieinber 10 as well 'as'havmg its corners rounded instead of being angular for enabling the jaw 38 to be moved into the hair without tending to catch and pull strands of the hair. The jaw or clamping plate 38 is preferably concaved lengthwise, as at- 39, on a curvature corresponding'to the curvature of the converted face of'the plate 20' of the clamping member 7 10. The few-plate 38 is in opposed relation to the plate 20 so that the convened face of the fixed row of the The the likewise waved and cl.osed,'andin the central part lengthwise of.

'On the arm 36 oftl1e V-shaped ba134 of plate 20 of the clamping;

clamping member 10 opposite to the handle '41 is another handle 4:2. The clamping members lOand 11 are preferablyheld'nori inally' in closed positions by one or twocoil springs, 43, ist. The springs are, air
