Definitions

  • This invention relates to hair ornaments adapted for the ornamentation of human hair while simultaneously useful for holding the hair in preselected positions, i.e. useful in forming a hair styling or "hair-do".
  • a further object of the present invention is the provision of a device of the aforementioned type including a generally elongated shaft adapted to entangle and be twisted in relationship with strands of hair so as to hold such in place and which additionally includes locking means for effecting such purpose.
  • a still further object of the present invention is the provision of an ornamental hair device of the aforementioned type which may be easily grasped and manipulated and which includes one readily separable portion to effect such purpose.
  • an ornamental device for twisting and holding strands of human hair in said twisted condition comprising a generally thin elongated shaft to which a first ornamental head having a generally planar body is fixedly connected thereto at one end thereof.
  • This first ornamental head is adapted to be firmly grasped by the human hand for twisting the hair strands around the shaf .
  • a second ornamental head is provided and is releasably connected to the other terminal end of the shaft for holding the shaft in the aforementioned twisted position.
  • locking means is provided on at least one of the heads and includes a segment thereof which is inwardly directed towards the other of the heads and generally aligned with the elongated shaft.
  • the locking means is formed from a part of the ornamental configuration of the head itself but may take the form of independent wire-like segments extending from the body portion of either or both of the ornamental heads.
  • FIG. 1 is an elevational view showing the rear of a human female head whose hair has been shaped into a relatively simple "hair-do", i.e. a “french twist”, and is maintained in such position with the aid of the device of the present invention;
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of one ornamental configuration which the device of the present invention may assume;
  • FIG. 3 is a partial bottom plan view of a portion of FIG. 2 illustrating the manner in which one end of the shaft is fixedly attached thereto;
  • FIG. 4 is a partial bottom plan view of a portion of FIG. 2 with sections broken away to illustrate the manner in which one of the ornamental heads of the device in FIG. 2 may be releasably secured to the shaft portion thereof;
  • FIG. 5 is a partial bottom plan view of a modified form of the invention and illustrating another manner in which an ornamental head portion may be releasably secured to the elongated shaft portion of a device of the present invention
  • FIG. 6 is a top plan view illustrating another overall form or configuration which the device of the present invention may take.
  • FIG. 7 is a still additional modified form or configuration which the device of the present invention may take.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 there are several embodiment or configuration of the ornamental hair device 10 of the present invention as shown in an intermeshed or interlocked position with regard to strands of hair within an overall hair shape, style or "hair-do" 12 provided on the head 14 of a human female.
  • the device of the present invention is not limited to female coiffures and not even necessarily those involving human hair style configurations so long as an essential twisting or interlocking of fibrous strands in the intended fashion is accomplished.
  • the device 10 includes a centrally disposed elongated shaft 16 preferably of rod-like configuration, that is, having a circular cross-section for a purpose which will hereinafter be more fully explained.
  • One of the terminal ends of the elongated rod 16 is provided with a first ornamental head 18 having a generally planar body portion 20.
  • That end 22 of the shaft 16 is permanently affixed to the undersurface of the body 20 as shown in FIG. 3 by welding, brazing, and the like and accordingly provides adequate area for the device to be firmly grasped as between the thumb and forefinger of the user thereof. In this way then the device may be manipulated with ease such that strands of hair may be enveloped around the body of the shaft 16 and thereafter twisted to the position shown in FIG. 1.
  • the other end 24 of the shaft preferably terminates in a slightly reduced diameter point 26 and is adapted for receipt within the central bore 28 of a sleeve 30 in turn disposed within a tube or shell 32.
  • the tube or shell 32 is permanently affixed to the underside of the body 34 of a second ornamental head 36 as by welding, brazing and the like.
  • the sleeve 30 is preferably of a compressible material such as rubber and the like such that the end 24 of the shaft 16 may be firmly yet rotatably inserted therein.
  • At least one and preferably both of the ornamental heads 18 and 36 are provided with a locking mechanism.
  • Such locking means includes at least one segment 38 of the body portions 20 and 34 thereof which extends inwardly towards the other of the heads and in general alignment with the shaft 16, that is, tending to be disposed parallel thereto.
  • segment 38 in addition to the shaft 16 tends to become immeshed with the strands of hair and accordingly simultaneously along with the shaft 16 serves to maintain the "hair-do" 12 in the desired configuration.
  • FIG. 6 Another form of the device of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 6 wherein such device 10a includes a shaft 16a to which ornamental heads having body portions 20a and 34a respectively are attached in a manner similar to that as described with reference to FIGS. 1-4.
  • segments 38a of each head body portion are directed inwardly towards each other and accordingly form a pair of the aforementioned locking means.
  • the configuration of the ornamental heads is such as not to include an inwardly directed portion.
  • the locking means may be provided in the form of inwardly directed, relatively thin rods or wires 40 attached to the body portion of the ornamental heads, preferably at the lower surfaces thereof.
  • wires 40 may also however be used in combination with ornamental heads such as those depicted in FIGS. 2 and 6 of the drawing, in which case the wires 40 form secondary locking means in addition to the locking means 38 and 38a described in connection with the devices 10 and 10a.
  • the device 10b shown in FIG. 7 includes a pair of ornamental heads 18b and 36b including body portions 20b and 34b respectively. Note that those heads 18b, 36b do not include segments which form locking means as in the previous embodiments.
  • the device 10b may include an elongated shaft 16b which is provided with a bend 42 such as the central change of direction depicted.
  • a bend 42 such as the central change of direction depicted.
  • Such bend provides for an additional amount of possible entanglement with the various strands of hair in a particular "hair-do" so as to assist in preventing the device 10b from sliding longitudinally with respect to the hair.
  • Such bends or other shape irregularities including bumps, twists, protuberances and the like may also be utilized with shaft 16b, or for that matter with shaft 16 and 16a.
  • FIG. 5 of the drawing a modified form of the connection means shown in FIG. 4 is depicted.
  • a tubular shell 44 formed from a relatively stiff material is directly and fixedly connected in any known manner to the undersurface of one of the body portions of a head.
  • This head is in turn adapted for releasable connection with the reduced end portion 24 of the shaft 16, i.e. the body portion 34a as illustrated in FIG. 5.
  • the tubular number 44 is preferably formed of metal and accordingly directly connected to undersurfaces of the body portion 34a as by welding, brazing and the like.
  • the shell 44 is of open mesh or reticulated construction so as to be somewhat outwardly expandable and is provided with an internal centrally disposed bore 46 which is in turn outwardly flared at opposite ends thereof so as to receive the other end 24 of the shaft 16 for guided direction to the central least diameter portions of the bore 46.
  • the internal diameter of the bore 46 at its smallest dimension is such as to snugly receive the shaft 16 therein.
  • the shell 44 is able to slightly expand to accommodate a slightly large shaft 16 due to the open mesh network thereof.
  • the ornaments in a slightly curved, i.e. concave configuration such that they better conform to the natural convex configurations of the human head and thus most of the various hair styles developed thereon.
  • segments such as segment 38 form a part of the ornamental head there is even a greater tendency for the segments to "dig into” or become iimneshed with the hair and thus additionally contribute to their intended "locking" function.
  • the shaft may be flexible so as to better assume a concave or other configuration as required for particular hair styles and so as to better mesh or become entangled in the hair strands.
  • the ornamental heads generally are formed from metal, but other materials such as plastic, horn, shell, etc.
