Definitions
- the invention relates to a clamp connection for attaching foreign hair to one's own hair, which has a slotted sleeve and a plug that can be inserted into it.
- a clamp connection is, for example, from the JP H05 321009 A which discloses the preamble of claim 1 is known
- Such a clamping connection has become known in connection with a hair extension system called "6D Hair Extension".
- the slotted sleeve which is made of metal, has a hook extension on its outside for attaching foreign hair.
- approx. 20-50 extraneous hairs are combined into a strand by being embedded in the area of one of their ends in a connecting piece from which a fastening thread emanates, with which the strand is attached to the hook extension of the slotted sleeve.
- the strand of foreign hair together with the slotted sleeve can then be attached to the hair again.
- the slotted sleeve can also be split. To do this, the strand of foreign hair must be detached from the fragments of the split sleeve and can be reattached to a new split sleeve with its fastening thread.
- the hair extension system just described has some disadvantages.
- three separate or separable components must be provided, namely the split sleeve, the strand of foreign hair with the fastening thread and the plug. Due to the fact that the strand of foreign hair is only attached to the slotted sleeve by means of the attachment thread emanating from the connection piece of the foreign hair, the achievable minimum distance between the base of the foreign hair attached to the own hair and the scalp is relatively large.
- the difference to the maximum distance of the roots of foreign hair from the scalp that is still fashionable is relatively small, so that the strands of foreign hair have to be removed after a relatively short time (a few weeks) due to regrowth of the own hair, in order to then be able to be reattached.
- the relatively large minimum distance between the scalp and the roots of the strands of foreign hair also makes it more difficult to hide the clamping connection in the scalp hair.
- the aim of the invention is to avoid the above disadvantages.
- FIG. 1 shows a slit sleeve and a plug with embedded foreign hairs and 2 illustrates the clamp connection according to the invention with the own hair.
- the split sleeve 1 can be made of metal or plastic. It can have a diameter of about 1.5 mm and a length of about 5 mm. The slit may extend about a quarter of the circumference.
- the plug 2 is preferably made of plastic and may be slightly frusto-conical (taper e.g. 0.1-5.0%). The ends of 20-50 extraneous hairs 3 are embedded or melted down in it.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Klemmverbindung zur Befestigung von Fremdhaaren an Eigenhaaren, welche eine Schlitzhülse und einen in diese einsetzbaren Pfropfen aufweist.The invention relates to a clamp connection for attaching foreign hair to one's own hair, which has a slotted sleeve and a plug that can be inserted into it.
Eine Klemmverbindung ist z.B. aus der
Eine derartige Klemmverbindung ist im Zusammenhang mit einem Haarverlängerungssystem der Bezeichnung "6D-Hair-Extension" bekannt geworden. Bei diesem weist die Schlitzhülse, die aus Metall ist, an ihrer Außenseite einen Hakenfortsatz zur Befestigung der Fremdhaare auf. Hiezu sind ca. 20-50 Fremdhaare zu einer Strähne zusammengefasst, indem sie im Bereich einer ihrer Enden in einem Verbindungsstück eingebettet sind, von dem ein Befestigungsfaden ausgeht, mit dem die Strähne am Hakenfortsatz der Schlitzhülse angehängt ist. Beim Anbringen einer Fremdhaarsträhne an einer abgeteilten Eigenhaarsträhne wird letztere in die Schlitzhülse eingelegt - und zwar so, dass sich diese möglichst in Nähe der Kopfhaut befindet - und von der der angehängten Fremdhaarsträhne abgekehrten Seite der Schlitzhülse wird in diese ein Pfropfen zum Festklemmen der Eigenhaarsträhne eingesetzt. Dies alles geschieht mit Hilfe eines Handwerkzeuges, mit dem eine Batterie von Schlitzhülsen (etwa 10 Stück) gleichzeitig angebracht werden kann. Zum Entfernen jeder Fremdhaarsträhne muss jede einzelne Schlitzhülse aufgespreizt werden, um die Klemmverbindung durch Herausfallen des Pfropfens zu lösen. Die Fremdhaarsträhne samt Schlitzhülse kann danach erneut am Kopfhaar angebracht werden. Alternativ kann die Schlitzhülse auch gespalten werden. Dazu ist die Fremdhaarsträhne von den Schlitzhülsentrümmern zu lösen und kann mit ihrem Befestigungsfaden an einer neuen Schlitzhülse wieder angehängt werden.Such a clamping connection has become known in connection with a hair extension system called "6D Hair Extension". In this case, the slotted sleeve, which is made of metal, has a hook extension on its outside for attaching foreign hair. For this purpose, approx. 20-50 extraneous hairs are combined into a strand by being embedded in the area of one of their ends in a connecting piece from which a fastening thread emanates, with which the strand is attached to the hook extension of the slotted sleeve. When attaching a strand of foreign hair to a sectioned strand of your own hair, the latter is placed in the slotted sleeve - in such a way that it is as close as possible to the scalp - and from the side of the slotted sleeve facing away from the attached strand of foreign hair, a plug is inserted into this to clamp the strand of own hair. This is all done with the help of a hand tool that can be used to attach a battery of slotted sleeves (about 10 pieces) at a time. In order to remove each strand of foreign hair, each individual slotted sleeve must be spread open in order to release the clamping connection by causing the plug to fall out. The strand of foreign hair together with the slotted sleeve can then be attached to the hair again. Alternatively, the slotted sleeve can also be split. To do this, the strand of foreign hair must be detached from the fragments of the split sleeve and can be reattached to a new split sleeve with its fastening thread.
Das eben beschriebene Haarverlängerungssystem hat einige Nachteile. Zunächst ist hervorzuheben, dass drei separate bzw. separierbare Bestandteile bereitgestellt sein müssen, nämlich die Schlitzhülse, die Fremdhaarsträhne mit dem Befestigungsfaden und der Pfropfen. Dadurch, dass die Fremdhaarsträhne erst mittels des vom Verbindungsstück der Fremdhaare ausgehenden Befestigungsfaden an der Schlitzhülse angehängt ist, ist der erzielbare Minimalabstand zwischen dem Ansatz der an den Eigenhaaren befestigten Fremdhaare und der Kopfhaut relativ groß. Die Differenz zur modisch noch vertretbaren Maximalentfernung des Ansatzes der Fremdhaare von der Kopfhaut ist damit relativ gering, sodass die Fremdhaarsträhnen infolge Nachwachsens der Eigenhaare nach relativ kurzer Zeit (einige Wochen) abgenommen werden müssen, um sodann wieder neu angebracht werden zu können. Der relativ große Minimalabstand zwischen Kopfhaut und Ansatz der Fremdhaarsträhnen erschwert zudem das Verbergen der Klemmverbindung im Kopfhaar.The hair extension system just described has some disadvantages. First of all, it should be emphasized that three separate or separable components must be provided, namely the split sleeve, the strand of foreign hair with the fastening thread and the plug. Due to the fact that the strand of foreign hair is only attached to the slotted sleeve by means of the attachment thread emanating from the connection piece of the foreign hair, the achievable minimum distance between the base of the foreign hair attached to the own hair and the scalp is relatively large. The difference to the maximum distance of the roots of foreign hair from the scalp that is still fashionable is relatively small, so that the strands of foreign hair have to be removed after a relatively short time (a few weeks) due to regrowth of the own hair, in order to then be able to be reattached. The relatively large minimum distance between the scalp and the roots of the strands of foreign hair also makes it more difficult to hide the clamping connection in the scalp hair.
Ziel der Erfindung ist die Vermeidung obiger Nachteile.The aim of the invention is to avoid the above disadvantages.
Dieses Ziel wird mit einer Klemmverbindung der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, dass die Fremdhaare mit einem ihrer Enden im Pfropfen eingebettet sind.This goal is achieved according to the invention with a clamp connection of the type mentioned at the outset in that the foreign hairs are embedded with one of their ends in the plug.
Durch die a priori - Verbindung von Pfropfen und Fremdhaaren sind nur mehr zwei separate bzw. separierbare Bestandteile der Klemmverbindung vorhanden. Das Anbringen der Fremdhaare am Kopfhaar erfolgt nun so, dass zunächst eine Eigenhaarsträhne und sodann eine Fremdhaarsträhne in die Schlitzhülse eingelegt werden, wobei sich der Pfropfen noch außerhalb der Schlitzhülse befindet. Danach wird der Pfropfen in die Schlitzhülse geschoben und die Eigenhaarsträhne festgeklemmt. Zum Lösen der Fremdhaarsträhne von der Eigenhaarsträhne ist die Schlitzhülse aufzuspreizen und der Pfropfen herauszuziehen.Due to the a priori connection of plugs and foreign hairs, there are only two separate or separable components of the clamp connection. Attaching the foreign hair to the hair is done in such a way that first a strand of your own hair and then a strand of foreign hair are inserted into the slotted sleeve, with the plug still being outside of the slotted sleeve. The plug is then pushed into the slotted sleeve and the strand of your own hair is clamped. To detach the strand of foreign hair from the strand of your own hair, the split sleeve is to be spread open and the plug pulled out.
Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand eines in der Zeichnung veranschaulichten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert.
Die Schlitzhülse 1 kann aus Metall oder Kunststoff bestehen. Sie kann einen Durchmesser von ca. 1,5 mm und eine Länge von ca. 5 mm aufweisen. Der Schlitz kann sich etwa über ein Viertel des Umfangs erstrecken. Der Pfropfen 2 besteht vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff und kann leicht kegelstumpfförmig sein (Verjüngung z.B. 0,1 - 5,0%). In ihm sind die Enden von 20 - 50 Fremdhaaren 3 eingebettet bzw. eingeschmolzen.The
Bei der Applikation der Fremdhaare 3 an einer Strähne von etwa 20-50 Eigenhaaren 4 werden letztere in die Schlitzhülse 1 eingelegt. Anschließend wird der Pfropfen 2 mit dem eingebetteten Fremdhaaren 3 in die Schlitzhülse eingeschoben. Dadurch wird diese leicht aufgespreizt und die Klemmverbindung mit den Eigenhaaren 4 kommt zustande.When the
