Description

Device for holding hair
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a device for holding hair, such as a hair band, comprising: a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate portion connecting the first and second end portions, wherein the intermediate portion extends along a substantially C-shaped path.
Background
Various forms and materials of hair bands are known. Most rigid hair bands consist of a resin/plastic carrier with a C-shaped body. Decorations or coverings, such as textile coverings, may be provided.
The headband is typically somewhat elastic so that a user can wear the headband on the head and squeeze hair onto the head. When not in use, the hair band always adopts the same original shape. In other words, the shape and size of the hair band is predetermined.
However, when conventional hair bands are worn for a period of time, marks may be created on the hair due to the pressure exerted by the hair band along the line of contact. Furthermore, if the headband is too tight, there is a risk that the headband will feel uncomfortable to the user, cause pain, and in the worst case cause headaches or similar adverse effects.
Disclosure of Invention
It is an object of the invention to provide a device for holding hair which reduces marks in the hair and provides a high wearing comfort.
Technical scheme
This object is achieved by providing a device for holding hair according to claim 1 or claim 12. The features of the dependent claims relate to preferred embodiments of the invention.
A device for holding hair according to the invention, such as a hair band, comprises: a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate portion connecting the first and second end portions, wherein the intermediate portion extends along a substantially C-shaped path, wherein the intermediate portion is formed of at least a first connecting element extending between the first and second end portions and a second connecting element extending between the first and second end portions, the first connecting element being made of a first material and the second connecting element being made of a second material, wherein the first and second materials have different physical properties.
In particular, the first material and the second material have different elasticity. Thus, plastic deformation is possible while maintaining the necessary elastic properties of the hair band. Typically, the deformation is reversible. Thus, the shape of the hair band may be adapted to the needs of the user.
The first material may be a predominantly elastically deformable material and the second material may be a predominantly plastically deformable material. For example, the first material may be a resin/plastic and the second material may be a metal wire.
In a particular embodiment of the invention, the first connecting element may be a first strip of the first material and the second connecting element may be a second strip of the second material.
The first connection element may extend along a helical path and/or the first connection element has a wave-shaped geometry. The second connection element may extend along a helical path and/or the second connection element has a wave-shaped geometry. In particular, the longitudinal axis of the helix and the longitudinal axis of the wave define a C-shaped track, respectively, of the middle portion of the hair band.
In particular, the first connection element and the second connection element are arranged to form a double helix. The double helix consists of two helices (helices), spirals (spirals) or coils (coils) having a curvature, which are arranged in relation to each other so as to mesh or wrap around each other.
Alternatively, the first and second connection elements are arranged to form a double wave structure. I.e. each connecting element comprises a wave-shaped structure. The wave structures may have different planes of polarization, and in particular, the waves may be intertwined with each other.
The first connection element and the second connection element may each have a wave structure, wherein an amplitude of the wave structure of the first connection element is perpendicular to an amplitude of the wave structure of the second connection element.
The intermediate portion may include a covering material that covers, wraps, and encloses the first and second connecting elements, respectively. The cover material may comprise a resin or plastic material, a textile material (e.g. a textile cover), or the like.
The covering material may be formed in an alternating structure having protrusions extending toward the center of the C-shape and recesses disposed between the protrusions. The covering material may be adapted to the structure of the connecting element having an apex projecting towards the centre of the C-shape and recesses provided between the projections.
In particular, the cover material may be formed to have a wave geometry with alternating peaks and valleys. The peaks protrude towards the centre point of the C-shape of the intermediate portion.
The first and second connection elements may be twisted with respect to each other.
A device for holding hair according to the invention, such as a hair band, comprises: a first end portion, a second end portion and an intermediate portion connecting the first and second end portions, wherein the intermediate portion extends along a substantially C-shaped path having a center point, wherein at least the intermediate portion is formed with an alternating structure of protrusions extending towards the center of the C-shape and recesses arranged between the protrusions.
In summary, a particular advantage of the device of the present invention and the USP is that it does not exert pressure on the head because it has a moldable and/or adaptable shape. It also leaves fewer marks in the hair due to the shape of the spiral, helix or wave. By providing a spiral/helix/wave-like structure, the pressure on the user's head and hair is substantially exerted by the peaks/apexes, and between which the pressure exerted on the hair is reduced.
Furthermore, it is also proprietary that, for fashion reasons, a decoration can be added to the top of the device without compromising its performance.
The present invention relates to any combination of any of the features described in the present application.

Detailed Description
Fig. 1 to 5 show the structure of a device for holding hair according to the present invention. In a first embodiment, the device for holding hair is a hair band 1. The hair band 1 is formed like a C-shaped element, lying substantially in a plane P. The hair band is substantially rigid (solid) and elastic.
In the front view (fig. 1), the hair band 1 extends along a part of the circumference of a circle having an imaginary or central point M. The hair band 1 has a first end portion 10, a second end portion 11 and a middle portion 2, the first end portion 10 having a first end 100 and the second end portion 11 having a second end 110. The space between first end 100 and second end 110 defines an opening 3 for wearing headband 1 on a user's head. In use, the headband 1 surrounds a portion of a user's head and at least a portion of the intermediate section 2 is in contact with the user's hair.
The middle portion 2 extends generally in a C-shaped curve/path between a first end portion 10 and a second end portion 11. The C-shaped curve may be a circle, an ellipse, or any other regular or irregular, symmetrical or asymmetrical portion of the circumference of a substantially C-shaped curve. However, the shape of the curve may be altered by applying a force to the headband 1, for example by bending the intermediate section 2, so as to plastically deform the intermediate section 2. The intermediate portion has combined elastic and plastic properties, i.e. when bending the intermediate portion 2 there may be plastic deformation combined with an elastic force urging the end portions 10 and 11 towards each other when applying a reaction force. The plastic deformation may be reversible.
According to the invention, the intermediate part 2 comprises at least two connection elements 20 and 21. In a particular embodiment, the first connecting element 20 is a first strip of material and the second connecting element 21 is a second strip of material. The first strip (string)20 is made of an elastically deformable first material, such as resin or plastic. The second strip 21 is made of a plastically deformable second material, such as a metal wire. The strips 20 and 21 each extend between the first end 10 and the second end 11.
The first strip 20 and the second strip 21 each have a curved structure undulating about the C-shaped path of the intermediate portion 2. In practice, each of the strips 20, 21 has a helical structure. The longitudinal axis of the helix is arranged on the C-shaped track of the intermediate part 2.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 4, the strips 20 and 21 are arranged relative to each other to form a double helix structure. The double helix (or its central axis) is curved and defines the C-shape of the hair band 1. Providing such a structure helps to unify the plastic properties of the metal wire (forming the second strip 21) and the elastic properties of the resin element (forming the first strip 20). In fact, each strip has the property of combining plasticity and elasticity, but in the first strip 20 the elastic property dominates, whereas in the second strip 21 the plastic property dominates. In other words, the intermediate portion 2 can be plastically bent so that it is adapted to the shape desired by the user. However, the elastic properties necessary for the hair band to press and hold hair are provided by the resin element. The resin member 20 brings the end portions 10 and 11 close to each other.
Furthermore, as shown in fig. 1, the structure of the intermediate portion 2 provides strips 20 and 21 having apexes a extending in the direction of the center M and a recessed portion R located between the two apexes a. Thus, the structure of the intermediate portion 2 that comes into contact with the user's hair alternates between the apex a and the concave portion R, and thus provides a protruding pressure point (apex a) that exerts precise pressure on the hair and a concave undulating portion (concave portion R) that allows the hair to be pressed less. Therefore, since the pressure is distributed to the pressure points, there is a structure that can prevent the hair from being pressed along the entire intermediate portion 2 of the hair band 1. This feature improves the comfort of the hair band 1.
Fig. 5 shows a structure in which one of the end portions 111 of the intermediate portion 2 is bent away from the circular shape (i.e., bent outward). This variation is merely an example. It is plastically deformed while the headband is still elastically deformable when worn on the head of a user.
The intertwined strips 20 and 21 may be covered by a filling material (not shown), i.e. the structure of the strips 20 and 21 may be integrated and/or moulded in the filling material. The filler material may be, for example, a resin or a plastic. The outer shape of the headgear 1 may be a wave structure or a spiral structure having alternating peaks (e.g., corresponding to the apexes a) and valleys (e.g., corresponding to the recesses R). The polarisation of the wave-shaped structure lies in a plane P (see figures 2, 3) defined by the C-shaped path of the intermediate portion 2 of the headband 1. By providing a wave-like structure, the pressure on the user's head/hair is substantially exerted by the peaks, while between the peaks the pressure exerted on the hair is reduced.
In the following examples, like parts are denoted by like reference numerals. The characteristics of the following embodiments may be the same as or similar to those described in connection with the first embodiment.
Fig. 6 shows a second embodiment of a device 1 for holding hair according to the invention. The structure 2 or "skeleton" of the headband 1 comprises: a first connecting element 20, configured as a corrugated element, forming a first strip of material; and a second connecting element 21, configured as another undulated element, forming a second strip of material. The first strip 20 is made of a first material (e.g., resin or plastic) that is elastically deformable. The second strip 21 is made of a plastically deformable second material, such as a metal wire. The strips 20 and 21 each extend between the first end 10 and the second end 11.
The first strip 20 is a wave element in which the amplitude of the wave has a radial direction r, and the second strip 21 is a wave element in which the amplitude of the wave has a direction perpendicular to the radial direction r and perpendicular to the circumferential direction c. In the radial direction of the first band 20, there are alternating convex peaks a1 extending inwardly towards the center M and concave peaks R1 extending outwardly away from the center M. The second strip 21 has alternating left (with reference to the circumference c defined by the hair band 1) and right peaks a2 and R2. The strips 20 and 21 are intertwined.
The first strip 20 may be a plastic piece, which is a thicker/wider flat piece.
Fig. 7a and 7b show a third embodiment of a device 1 for holding hair according to the invention. The structure of the "skeleton" 2 is the same as that shown in FIG. 6. There is also an ornament 4 in the form of a covering made of fabric. The central portion of the cover 4 extends outside the circumference of the structure 2, while the end portions 40, 41 of the cover 4 have pockets into which the end portions 10, 11 of the skeleton 2 are inserted.
Fig. 8a and 8b show a fourth embodiment of a device for holding hair according to the invention. The structure of the "skeleton" is the same as that shown in FIG. 6. There is additionally a plurality of decorations 5 in the form of beads 5. The beads are arranged in valleys a 1' corresponding to peaks a1 extending inwardly towards the centre (as seen from the outside of the structure 2). That is, beads 5 are disposed outside of structure 2 in valleys A1'.
