Description
"My invention relates to that class of human-hair-curling devices to which heat may be applied without the aid of a common fire; and consists in forming within the curling-rod, a longitudinal flame-chamber or flue, provided with suitable openings at the base to admit a horizontal or vertical gas-burner or lamp, and also provided with ports for admitting the requisite amount of atmosphere to secure a perfect flame within the chamber."
