Abstract
A hair enclosing and protecting device comprising a piece of material that can be easily and quickly attached to, and then encircle all or a portion of gathered hair.
Description
=~1 ~1 02174251 2000-03-23 SPECIFICATION
This invention relates to a simple to operate device the attaches to gathered hair, and then encloses some (or the entire) length of that hair. It would relate to the class of hair containment devices specifically, and work place safety devises and athletic-sports devices generally.
Longer hair has previously been braided in order to keep it from getting tangled or caught up. Another way was to tie the gathered hair many times along its length. These processes are time consuming to engage and then to disengage.
I have found that these disadvantages can be over come by tying the gathered hair once, close to the roots, then attaching to this tie, by means of a hook, a triangular or rectangular piece of material (leather, cloth, plastic, etc.).
This attached triangle or rectangle is then wrapped around the hair and fastened to it.
To disengage, simply unfasten, lift hook out of tie and undo the one hair tie.
I
cn oz«azsi zooo-oa-za have termed the inventive idea this device utilized the "hook and hang" hair containment technology.
In drawings that illustrate embodiments of the invention, figure 1 is a spread out (flat) depiction of the hair side (inside) of a rectangular embodiment (which will form a cylinder when attached). Figure 2 is a spread out (flat) depiction of the hair side (inside) of a triangular embodiment (which will form a cone when attached). Figure 3 is a spread out (flat) depiction of the outside of a triangular embodiment. Figure 4 is a side view of a spread out (flat) embodiment. Figure is a dose up frontal view of the hook apparatus, from the hair side (inside) perspective of a spread out embodiment. Figure 6 is a side view of figure 5.
Figure 7 illustrates a triangular embodiment in use. Figure 8 illustrates a molded plastic embodiment of this same "hook and hang" hair containment technology.
Various lengths and widths of material are required depending on the length of hair to enclose and the thickness of the gathered hair. A rectangular piece of material, figure 1, would be used for same length hair; while a triangular piece would be used for tapered hair, figure 2. Length of material would also depend 'rf the entire length of hair was to be covered, or just a portion. Shorter lengths of material could be used to cover gathered hair that was then "bunched up", instead of hanging straight.
(~4 01t743!.~t 2000-03-13 The hook (1 ) which may be fashioned from a continuous short length of hard metal wire, is secured to the material by means of forming a loop (3), bend this loop so it is perpendicular to the material. The two ends of the wire are then extended through 2 small holes in the material, (4) & (5), run a short distance on this opposite side of the material (6 8 7), then inserted through 2 more small holes (8 8~ 9). The ends of the wire are now back on the same side as the loop, (that is, the hair side). The two wire ends are now bent flat against the material to anchor the loop (hook) in place (10 & 11 ). This hook can also be stitched or glued in place. A preformed hook could also be secured.
This hook is now inserted in the tie in the gathered hair. The material is then wrapped around the gathered hair and fastened to itself (snaps (12) were used in the illustration, but velcro or buttons, etc. could also be used). For aesthetic reasons, the fasteners are not visible once the device is in place (see figure 7).
Various designs, studs, rhinestones, etc. can be attached for aesthetics.
Also, a fastener can be attached to the bottom end of the device (13), to enable the wearer to fasten the device to his collar for safety reason (i.e. Long hair around machinery or cooking industries).
Hard plastic (molded) designs could be incorporated into this same "hook and hang' hair containment technology. Instead of wrapping around the gathered hair, it would just open and close on the hair, see figure 8. These rigid plastic CA ~~1174151 2000-03-23 devices would have an opening on top to insert the gathered hair (14). The inside would be hollowed to provide space for the gathered hair. The two halves could be hinged (15) and fasteners (12) - such as a peg and hole - could secure the two halves together. The variety of shapes using plastic are only constricted by imagination.
