Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wearable fitting (or accessory) that has the purpose of helping ⁇ person to select a hairstyle (haircut) he/she wishes for his/her hair.
  • hairstyle is meant the result of doing or setting a persons' hair, according to any aesthetic model comprising, either together or separately, combing, cutting, shaping, colouring, etc., whether partially or totally, a person's hair.
  • auxiliary fittings for selecting a hairstyle that, once worn by a user, simulate the shape and colour of an alternate hairstyle.
  • these fittings comprise a support, normally a hairband that can be worn by the user on his head and to which there can be removably fixed some interchangeable locks of hair, whether natural or false.
  • the model US D 465.615 (Brunelle ) describes a similar hairband for a lock of a certain colour that is selected from a set of locks of different colours to be fixed thereto in a non-permanent manner, such as to simulate the effect, on the user, of a given hair tint, as cited in the preamble of Claim 1. Accordingly, the user of the hairband can fasten the lock of the desired colour to the hairband, then wear the hairband and look in a mirror the effect that this hair colour would make on his/her appearance. When the result is not satisfactory, then the user can simply replace the lock being fixed to the hairband with a second lock of a different colour, and then wear the hairband once again to evaluate the aesthetic effect that would be obtained with the colour of the new lock of hair.
  • the hairband described in the Brunelle's patent does not provide the possibility of fastening locks having different shape and size with respect to each other to the hairband, and thus it does not allow to represent a hairstyle in a complete manner, but only the colour of the latter.
  • German patent DE 41 36 983 A1 (SN-Colours J.E. Erdtmann Gmbh) relates to a fitting for selecting a tint for a person's hair comprising a textile support on which there are fixed some locks of hair in different colours, which are arranged parallel to each other.
  • the user of such a fitting can place the textile support on his/her shoulders, the locks being left to flow on his/her chest, and can then compare by looking in a mirror the different aesthetic effects that the various colours would generate on his/her appearance, at the same time.
  • This fitting does not provide the presence of means suitable to simulate the appearance that would be obtained by the user with different hair tints, such as the hairband illustrated in patent US D 465.615 , and accordingly it can only provide generic indications about the compatibility of a certain colour with the structural and chromatic characteristics of the person who wishes to change his/her hair tint.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an auxiliary fitting for selecting a person's hairstyle which is practical and quick to use.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a fitting for selecting a hairstyle which is effective as well as easily feasible.
  • the auxiliary fitting for selecting a hairstyle comprises a support that can be removably worn by a person on his/her head as well as a plurality of locks connectable to this support.
  • a plurality of locks connectable to this support.
  • at least two locks being different to each other by size and/or shape and/or colour can be connected to this support.
  • both locks are also arranged such as to be simultaneously and separately seen by the user of the fitting, when the latter is properly worn, in order to allow the user to carry out an effective visual comparison and then a precise evaluation of the appearance that he/she would obtain with a hairstyle being styled according to one of the two different locks.
  • the locks are removably fastened to the support such as to be replaced one by one on the same support with different locks, in order to be able to compare a large number of the same without having to change the support.
  • the support consists of a hairband, or a band or a wig cap, and the locks are removably connected to this support by non-permanent fixing means consisting, for example, of a Velcro® strip.
  • the auxiliary fitting for selecting a hairstyle comprises a wearable support 1; 201 that can be removably arranged on a person's head and can be for example in the form of a hairband 1, such as in the embodiment from figures 1-3 , a wig cap 201, such as illustrated in figure 4 , or a flexible band, not illustrated.
  • the fitting according to the present invention also comprises a plurality of locks 2, 3; 102, 103; 202 that can be connected to the support 1; 201, preferably in a removable manner.
  • lock is meant, in the present application, a substantially uniform set of hair, whether natural or false, or other suitable materials, which is grouped, for example, on a upholding element, in order to partially simulate or represent a hairstyle.
  • the support and the locks of the present invention are configures such that on support 1; 201 there can be fastened at least two locks 2, 3, or 102, 103; 202 that are different by size and/or shape and/or colour, such that the user of the fitting can promptly view, for example in a mirror, or by means of a photograph, or any other form of representation of his/her appearance, the aesthetic changes that a hairstyle being made according to either one or the two different locks 2, 3 or 102, 103 would produce on his/her person.
  • the coupling on the wearable support which in this case is a hairband 1, of two locks 102, 103 of hair, whether natural or false, having (as schematically illustrated in figure 3 ) two different colours, or two (even slightly) different nuances of the same colour, allows the user to visually select the tint colour that he/she wishes for his/her hair and which results to be the most suited to the chromatic features of his/her face.
  • the user of the fitting according to the present invention not only is able to select, by direct confrontation, the tint he desires for his/her hair, but also the shape of the latter that best fits his/her physical characteristics.
  • the fitting in order to allow the user to simply compare several colors, or nuances thereof, shapes and sizes (for example the length) that are taken by the locks 2, 3 or 102, 103, the fitting can comprise means 4, 5 for fixing at least one of the two locks 2, 3, 102, 103, in a non-permanent manner on the support 1, which is able to removably fasten at least one of these locks 2, 3, 102, 103 to the same support 1.
  • non-permanent fixing means in a simple embodiment thereof such as illustrated in figure 2 , can consist of a Velcro® strip, the male (or female) band 4 thereof being fixed to hair flocks, either natural or false, for example making up a lock 2 of the fitting, with the female (or male) band corresponding thereto being integrally fastened to the hairband 1.
  • the different locks 2, 3 and 102, 103 may instead be fastened to the hairband 1 such that they do not overlap each other, and thus they can be simultaneously and separately distinguished by the user of the fitting.
  • the locks 2, 3 or 102, 103 may be fastened on the hairband 1 in a symmetrical manner relative to the midline of the hairband 1, as can be seen in figures 1 and 3 .
  • Figure 4 shows a different embodiment of the fitting according to the present invention comprising a support consisting of a cap, or base, 201 for wigs and a plurality of locks 202 being removably connectable to the cap 201.
  • the cap 201 and the locks 202 are configured such that at least two locks 202 differing from each other by colour and/or size and/or shape can be fastened to the same 201.
  • cap 201 for wigs which is suitable to overlap the user's hair in a substantially complete manner, allows the latter to get an extremely precise representation of the appearance of his/her hair he/she may get according to one of the locks 202 being provided on the cap 201.
  • the cap 201 in the particular embodiment illustrated herein, also comprises non-permanent fixing means 205, 206 for one or more locks 202, which consist of male (or female) bands of a Velcro® strip.
  • the locks 202 can thus be easily coupled and removed from the cap 201, in order to allow a simple and quick comparison of a plurality of interchangeable locks 202 by the user.
  • the support 1; 201 may be any element, either rigid or flexible, more or less extended, and have any shape, size or material, which is capable to engage with said at least two different locks 2, 3; 102, 103; 202 at the same time, and in a removable manner, with a person's head.
