Definitions

  • the present invention relates to hair extensions of the type comprising a lock of hair rendered fixed with respect to a body made of thermoplastic material provided for anchorage thereof to the hair.
  • the body made of thermoplastic material consists of a strip and of a sheet, respectively, on the internal surface of which there adheres one end of the extension lock, with the corresponding hair set parallel to said surface.
  • the strip or sheet, respectively is then folded around the end of the lock of hair and then subjected to heating to bring about softening thereof and finally, following upon subsequent cooling, consequent fixing of the extension on the hair.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the aforesaid drawbacks and, more in particular, to provide a hair extension of the type defined above that will enable, following upon its application to the hair of the user, an improved effect of thickening and above all voluminization of the hair to be obtained.
  • a further object is to provide a hair extension, the element of anchorage of which to the hair is, in the condition where the extension is applied, substantially invisible.
  • the above objects are achieved basically thanks to the fact that the aforesaid body made of plastic material consists of a substantially rigid plate, from a first face of which there extends at least one linear layered tress of hair, the ends of which are fixed head-on to said face, orthogonal to the plane thereof, and the second face of which, opposite to the first one, carries means for permanent attachment or means for temporary attachment to the hair.
  • the invention envisages various configurations of the means for attachment to the hair associated to the second face of the plate, whether of a permanent- attachment type, in particular by thermoadhesion, or of a temporary-attachment type, as well as a peculiar method of application of the extension.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic and partial dorsal perspective view of a hair extension according to a first embodiment of the invention
  • Figures 2 and 3 are views similar to that of Figure 1 showing, respectively, a second embodiment and a third embodiment of the invention
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are two schematic and partial front perspective views that show a fourth embodiment and a fifth embodiment of the invention, respectively;
  • FIG. 6 is a dorsal perspective view that illustrates schematically a sixth embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 7 is a front perspective view of Figure 6;
  • the hair extension according to the invention comprises a plate 1 made of thermoplastic material, which is substantially rigid at room temperature or even relatively flexible, having for example a general quadrangular shape.
  • the plate 1 has an external or dorsal face la and an internal or front face lb, of which the first carries an extension lock of hair designated as a whole by 2, and the second is provided for anchorage thereof to the hair of the user.
  • the lock 2 includes at least one linear layered tress of hair, and more conveniently a plurality (in the example illustrated, four) of such linear layered tresses of hair 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d, set on top of one another and slightly spaced apart, starting from the top or top end lc of the plate 1.
  • the face la will englobe in a permanent way the tips of the hair of the various linear tresses set on top of one another 2a-2d, with a "waterfall" effect exemplified in the drawings, which, in the condition where the extension is applied, enables an aesthetically appreciable voluminization to be obtained, in addition to thickening of the hair to which the extension is applied. Furthermore, the plate 1, hidden by the tresses of hair 2a-2d, will be substantially invisible.
  • the front face lb opposite to the dorsal face la of the plate 1 can be configured with different alternative systems of permanent attachment or temporary attachment to the hair.
  • the system of permanent attachment consists of a series of appendages 3, which are formed integrally with the plate 1, projecting in a direction orthogonal to the face lb and to the multiple tresses of hair 2a-2d, substantially like a comb.
  • the system of permanent attachment consists of a series of appendages 3, which are formed integrally with the plate 1, projecting in a direction orthogonal to the face lb and to the multiple tresses of hair 2a-2d, substantially like a comb.
  • locks of the hair which are then anchored to the plate 1 by means of heating, softening, and plastic deformation of said appendages 3 against the face lb.
  • the locks of the hair will be firmly anchored to the plate 1.
  • the system of permanent attachment of the plate 1 to the hair is constituted by a side flange 4 of the plate 1, which can be folded by hot deformation from the open position represented in the figures, where it extends substantially orthogonal to the face lb, to a closing position for gripping a lock of hair against said face lb.
  • the flange 4 is replaced by a pair of opposed side flanges 5, which can also be folded by hot deformation from the open position represented in the figures to a closed position for gripping the lock of hair against the face lb of the plate 1.
  • the anchorage systems described so far which may obviously differ from the constructional standpoint, provide, as has been said, a permanent anchorage of the extension to the hair of the user, in the sense that its possible subsequent removal requires application of a solvent or the like for detachment of the plate 1 from the lock to which the extension has been applied.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show, instead, two examples of temporary application; i.e., the hair extensions are immediately removable without requiring particular operations on the plate 1.
  • the plate 1 to the dorsal face la of which the linear layered tresses of hair 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d are anchored with the same modalities described previously, has an elongated shape, and one or more combs 6 for engagement to corresponding locks of hair are mechanically fixed to its front face lb, for example by riveting or else gluing .
  • the plate 1 which also has a general elongated conformation, is provided on its front face lb with a biadhesive tape 7 for application, that is by adhesion, to the hair.
  • the tab 8 includes three consecutive foldable portions A, B, C, where:
  • the first portion A is joined to the face lb of the plate 1 on the back 8b of the tab 8, for example via adhesive;
  • first portion A, the second portion B, and the third portion C are adhesive on the front side 8a of the tab 8 and are coated with a first anti-adhesive layer or sheet 9 that can be removed upon application of the extension;
  • the third portion C is adhesive also on the back 8b of the tab 8 and is coated with a second anti- adhesive layer or sheet 10, removable at the end of application of the extension.
  • the first portion A is conveniently adhesive also on the back 8b of the tab 8, whereas the second portion B is adhesive only on the front 8a.
  • the first anti-adhesive layer 9 is removed so as to expose the adhesive portions A, B, C on the front side 8a of the tab 8 ( Figure 8) .
  • the second adhesive portion B is separated and re-opened with respect to the first adhesive portion A ( Figure 11), and the third adhesive portion C is folded and made to adhere, by exerting pressure, against the second adhesive portion B ( Figure 12) .
  • the second anti-adhesive layer 10 is removed, so as to expose the third adhesive portion C on the back 8b of the tab 8 ( Figure 13), and finally the first adhesive portion A and the third adhesive portion C are folded and made to adhere by pressure against one another ( Figure 14).

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une extension de cheveux formée par une mèche de cheveux (2) rendue fixe par rapport à une plaque sensiblement rigide (1), à partir d'une première face (1a) de laquelle s'étend au moins une tresse linéaire de cheveux en couches (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d), dont les extrémités sont fixées sur la tête à ladite face (1a), orthogonale au plan de celles-ci, et dont la seconde face (1b) opposée à la première face (1a) porte des moyens pour une fixation permanente (3, 4, 5) ou des moyens pour une fixation temporaire (6, 7, 8) aux cheveux.
