Abstract

A threading member (1) which can hold e.g. pearls (3), loose hair threads, etc, comprises an elastic blocking member (4) with a penetration which is smaller in size than its longitudinal dimension. The threading member has a fixing unit (5) at one end for attaching hair (6), and the elastic blocking member is located onto the thread up to the fixing unit, so the blocking member works with eg the pearls. The blocking member pref. consists of silicone.

  Combination of a threading member and a fastening means to be used to beautify hair The invention relates to the field of decoration and beautification of human hair, by threading a series of pearls and the like on a braid, or laying a braid of hair. Braids thus embellished give a particular aspect to the person concerned. In particular during festivities it is more and more customary to embellish the hair in this way by giving them a particular aspect. Also possible bald or bald spots in a person's hair can

  be masked by the installation of a removable braid.

  Threading beads, which can be small and therefore have a small hole, is laborious and time consuming. Not only should each pearl be strung separately on a fairly thin braid, but also holding the braid together and introducing it into such small holes is not simple. To conclude, the installation for example of an elastic tie, which must prevent the pearls from slipping, is a work

  painful which could further damage the hair.

  The invention aims to offer a solution so that the threading of these pearls, braids or hair complement takes place more quickly and more easily, and that they can be fixed more easily. This objective is achieved by providing a combination of a threading member or a number of objects, such as beads, a removable braid and the like can be put in place and an elastic fastener, a fastener which has in its unstressed state, a passage whose transverse dimension is smaller than the longitudinal dimension, the threading member having at one end a fixing means for fixing a fixed braid or a lock of hair, the elastic fastener which can be threaded onto the threading member to a location at such a distance from the fastening means that the elastic fastening member with the beads or the removable braid possibly present on the threading member can

  be threaded on a fixed braid or on a lock of hair attached to the threading member.

  According to the invention, on the threading member with the elastic fastener can be threaded

  a desired number of beads in the desired colors and in the desired order.

  Then this threading member can be fixed to a determined braid of a suitable length, after which the series of beads and lastly the elastic fastener is slid over the braid. As the braid can be folded in half at the location of the fastener,

  the pearls slide smoothly from the threading member onto the braid.

  The fastener can also be easily slid over the braid, despite its tightening effect, without there being any "creping" effect. As soon as this fastener has been slid forward, it immediately exerts an effect of fastening following its friction tightening by

compared to braids.

  As a result, the pearls do not risk slipping from the fixed braid, during the removal of

  the threading device possible immediately.

  The threading member, which may consist for example of a wire, fiber or cable preferably has an eye allowing the fixing of a fixed braid or a lock of hair. The attachment member can be executed in several different ways and can also form a decorative or embellishing element. In its simple embodiment, the attachment member is a tube. The attachment member can also be shaped

  stick and have a through hole, or be in the shape of a small ball.

  The combination may then contain a plurality of beads having a hole for

  ability to thread them on a threading member.

  The attachment member may contain a silicone material. In addition to its

  characteristic in the form of a tube, the silicone material produces a very solid attachment effect.

  This fastening effect is such that the fixed braid or the lock of hair over which the fastening member has been slid, can hold vertically relative to the scalp. In this case, the fastener must be slid as far as possible over the braid or the lock of

hair.

  The fastener may also be made up of other materials, such as

  rubber, thermoplastic and the like.

  Although the invention described above is based on threading pearls into the hair, it is not limited to this. The assembly can also be applied under the terms of the invention to the installation of an elastic attachment member on a braid. If the attachment member is then slid to the scalp, as already indicated,

tufts of hair raised.

  Besides, the combination according to the invention can also be applied to bind removable braids in the hair of a person, for example to camouflage

sparse hair parts.

  Thereafter the invention will be commented on the basis of the accompanying drawings in which;

  Figure I shows the installation of a series of beads in a braid.

Figure 2 shows a detail.

  The person shown in Figure I uses a combination according to the invention for threading a plurality of beads in a braid, using a flexible threading member 1, for example a fiber or a cable, at the end of which is a plug. On the threading member I is a number of beads 3, as well as a member

elastic fastener 4.

  At the other end of the threading member I is an eye 5, where a braid 6 has been introduced and folded in half. In this circumstance the beads 3 can be easily slid with one hand from the threading member I onto the braid 3. This sliding forward is facilitated by the fact that the braid 6 is folded in half in the eye 5, which avoids the "creping" effect. After sliding forward the braid is no longer folded in half, since the part folded in half is only used during the sliding forward of the beads and

the attachment organ.

  After having threaded all the beads on the braid, we put the fastener

  4. Thus the series of pearls 3 is fixed on the braid 6.
