Rotatably mounted in the otherfendwis aplug 5 which may be of wood or a synthetic mouldingv material and which forigreatestrength is enclosed in ra casing 6. The plug- 5 is formed wtha spigot-'I on which is fixed a knob whereby the plug 5 may berotated in the tubef `Fired in the plug'v5 Varid eccentrically disposed with regard to the tube 3 is a rod 9. This rod 9 extends through the tube 3 and sldably mounted on it is a tube IG. Separation of the tube I and the rod 9 is prevented by a projection II on the rod and the inturned end I2 of rthe tube I0.

It will be seen that if the end of a tress of hair is inserted between the jaws 4, and the plug 5 is rotated by the knob 3, the eccentric movement of the rod 9 will cause the hair to be gripped be tween the tube I0 and the inner surface of one or other of the jaws 4.

The clip portion 2 of the device comprises a pin I3 which is hinged to a clasp member I4 which Another; object cg; hefinvention is to provide.

The pin 20 has a tube 23 riveted or otherwise fixed to its end and is use this tube co-operates with the tube I0 of the winding part I in the manner already described. The part 2| is formed with a U-shaped recess 24 to receive the tube 23 in the closed position of the clip.

A wedge 25 rests, in the closed position of the clip in the circular portion 22 and can be moved between the pin 20 and the member 2| to force these parts away and open the clip. The clip is in this manner retained in the open position whilst the curl is being wound. By pushing the wedge back into the circular portion, the clip is closed.

The wedge 25 is formed with grooves 26 at each end which engage with the arms of the member 2l and guide the wedge in its movement to open or close the clip.

It will be apparent that many modifications may be made in the details of the forms described Within the scope of the appended claims.

I claim:

1. A curler comprising a cylindrical tube formed with jaws at one end, a member eccentrically mounted in the tube and rotatable about the axis thereof between the jaws, a tube. portion slidably mounted on the eccentric member, means to rotate the eccentric member relatively to the tube Y,

and a detachable clip member carrying a tube adapted to engage the tube portion on the eccentric member.

2. A curler comprising a cylindrical tube formed with jaws at one end, a member eccentrically mounted in the tube and rotatable about the axis thereof to grip a tress of hair placed between said jaws to enable the hair to be curled on the tube, means to rotate the eccentric member relatively to the tube, a clip member, and means carried by the clip member to detachably engage the eccentric member so that the clip member may be detached to retain the curl when the latter is separated from the tube.

3. A curler comprising a cylindrical tube, said tube being cut away at one end to form open jaws, a member rotatably mounted in the other end of said tube, said rotatable member carrying la spigot projecting from the tube, a knob fixed to said spigot whereby said member can be rotated, a rod eccentrically mounted in the rotatable member and extending through the cylindrical tube, a tubular member slidable along the rod and a clip member carrying a tube adapted to engage the tube on the eccentric member to detachablyconnect the tube and clip member.

4. A curler comprising a cylindrical tube, said tube being cut away at one end to form open jaws, amember rotatably mounted in the other end of said tube, said rotatable member carrying a spigot projecting from the tube, a knob xed to said spigot whereby said member can be rotated, a rod eccentrically mounted in the rotatable member and extending through the cylindrical tube, a tubular member slidable along the rod, a clip comprising a pin, a clamping member and means for maintaining said pin and said clamp in co-operative gripping relationship and a tube xed to the end of said pin adapted to engage the tube carried by the rod in the cylindrical tube to detachably connect the tube and clip.

5. A curler comprising a cylindrical tube, said tube being cut away at one end to form open jaws, a member rotatably mounted in the other end of said tube, said rotatable member carrying a spigot projecting from the tube, a knob xed to said spigot whereby said member can be rotated, a rod eccentrically mounted in the rotatable member and extending through the cylindrical tube, a tubular member slidable along the rod, a clip comprising a pin, a clamping mem ber, a hinge between the pin and the clamping member, means to maintain the pin and the clamping member in gripping relationship whilst permitting said pin and said clamping member to Vbe turned about said hinge into an open position of the clip and a tube fixed to the end of said pin adapted to engage the tube carried by the rod in the cylindrical tube to detaehably connect the tube and clip.

6. A windingdevice for a curler comprising a cylindrical tube formed with jaws at one end, a member eccentrically mounted in the tube and rotatable about the axis thereof between the jaws, a tube portion slidably mounted on the eccentric member to detachably engage a hair clip, and means to rotate the eccentric member relatively to the tube.

7. A winding device for a curler comprising a cylindrical tube, said tube being cut away at one end to form open jaws, a member rotatably mounted in the other end of said tube, said rotatable member carrying a spigot projectingfrom the tube, a knob xed to said spigot whereby said member can be rotated, a rod eccentricallyV mounted in the rotatable member and extending through the cylindrical tube and a tubular member s'lidable along the rod to detachably engage a hair clip.

8. A clip comprising a pin, a clamping member, means for maintaining said pin and said clamping member in co-operative gripping relationship, and a vtube coaxially xed to the end of said pin,

for the purpose of detachable engagement withl REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the iile oi this patent:
