Description

  The present invention relates to a device for connecting a decorative hair or accessory such as a bundle of artificial hair or an accessory to a user's own hair bundle and a method for connecting an adherend to the user's own hair bundle using this device.

  The technology called extension in the beauty industry is a hair arrangement style that has landed from the United States. It is “fake hair” to make the hair look long, that is, human hair or artificial hair fibers are bundled in the hair itself. This is a technique for adding to the self hair (hereinafter referred to as “self hair bundle”).

  As a conventional method of attaching an extension, a method is known in which a user (user) 's own hair is separated by a predetermined amount, and is bisected or divided into three to be knitted into a braid or a four knitting together with the extension. When this method is used, there is an advantage that the holding force of the extension is strong and its durability is increased. For this reason, at sites such as beauty salons, it is still mainstream that a beautician (surgeon) applies extension to users who are customers.

  However, in this method of attaching the extension by braiding the own hair and the extension, it takes about 5 minutes for an expert to attach one extension to the user's own hair bundle, If 20 to 30 extensions are attached as a whole, there is a problem that even a skilled beautician takes about 2 to 3 hours.

  In order to solve this problem, a method of easily combining the own hair and the extension has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1). However, even if such a method is used, the attachment time is not reduced so much as compared with the above-described method of knitting, and in order to reduce the attachment time, a beautician who is a practitioner. Skill is required.

  Therefore, a method of using a fastener for fixing the extension to the user's own hair bundle has been proposed. As a method for attaching such an extension, after pulling a bundle of the user's own hair into a fastener (ring) made of aluminum or the like, the fastener is attached using pliers or nippers. There is a method (for example, patent document 3 etc.) which fixes an extension to a user's own hair bundle by crushing. In addition, instead of such fasteners (rings), a heat-shrinkable tube mainly composed of rubber or resin is used, and human hair or artificial hair for extension and hair is drawn into this tube. A method of contracting the tube by applying heat to the extension to fix the extension to the user's own hair bundle (for example, Patent Documents 2 and 4) has also been proposed.

  Here, when an extension is attached using a fastener such as a ring as described above, in the conventional method, a dedicated needle or the like is used to draw the bundle of the user's own hair into the fastener (ring). Necessary (for example, Patent Documents 3 and 4). In these methods, a needle having an openable / closable key needle or a loop part at the tip part is inserted into the fastener, then the key needle or loop part is opened and the user's own hair bundle is inserted and then closed. By pulling out the needle in this state, the bundle of the user's own hair is drawn into the fastener. Thereafter, the extension is attached to the user's own hair bundle by crushing or heat-shrinking the fastener. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to perform the attaching operation in a shorter time than the extension attaching method disclosed in Patent Document 2.

  However, the extension attachment method that draws in the user's own hair using a dedicated needle can reduce the time slightly compared to the method that does not use such means, but a dedicated needle must be prepared. There is a problem that must be. Further, since it takes time to insert the key needle or the loop portion at the tip of the needle into each fastener and to open and close the key needle or the loop portion each time, there is a problem that it still takes time for attachment. For this reason, it is impossible to meet the demand for further shortening of the mounting time (working time).

  Therefore, the present invention has been proposed in view of the above-described problems of conventional extension attachment methods and fixtures, and has a simple configuration and requires skill of the practitioner (including the user himself).

  The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become more readily apparent from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the invention which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  Hereinafter, a device for connecting an adherend to a bunch of own hair according to the present invention and a method for connecting an adherend to a bunch of user's own hair using the device will be described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. .

  First, the overall configuration of an apparatus for connecting an adherend to a bunch of own hair according to the present invention (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as “connecting apparatus”) will be described. FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing a coupling device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the connecting device 1 of the present invention includes a hair connector 10 having a hollow portion 11, and is held by the hair connector 10 in a state of being inserted in the hair connector 10 in advance. A hair bundle retractor 20 for pulling the hair bundle of a person who attaches the device to the hair bundle into the hollow portion 11 of the hair coupler 10 from the one end 12 side of the hair coupler 10 is provided.

  In this embodiment, the hair connector 10 is composed of a heat-shrinkable tube, and the inner surface of the heat-shrinkable tube is heated by using, for example, a commercially available hair iron or the like. An adhesive (not shown) containing keratin or the like for adhering / fixing the bristles in the tube is applied. As described above, the connecting device 1 of the present invention uses the heat shrinkability of the hair connector 10 and the adhesive to thermocompression-bond or thermally bond the hair connector 10 of the connector 1 to the user. It is fixed to a bunch of hair. Therefore, compared with the case where the hair connector (ring) 10 is crushed and the adherend to be described later is fixed to the user's own hair bundle, a separate tool such as a nipper is not required, and it is easy, reliable and in a short time. An adherend (see FIGS. 2 and 4) such as an extension or attachment means can be attached to the user's own hair bundle.

  Further, when the hair connector 10 has heat shrinkability as in the present embodiment and an adhesive is applied to the inner surface thereof, the hair connector 10 of the present embodiment can be removed by simply applying heat again. It can be easily removed from the user's own hair bundle. In this case, since the adhesive which may remain in the hair itself is also mainly composed of keratin, the user can easily wash away the hair by washing the hair.

  The connecting device 1 of the present invention is different from the configuration of the hair connector 10 as described above, and the hair connector 10 is made of a metal ring such as aluminum, and the hollow portion 11 is crushed with a nipper or the like, It may be configured to be fixed and held on the user's own hair bundle. Even if the hair connector 10 has such a configuration, the effects of the present invention can be achieved.

  The self-hair bundle retractor 20 has one end 12 side of the hair connector 10, that is, the loop portion 21 located outside the side facing the user's own hair, the other end 13 side of the hair connector 10, That is, it has the operation part 22 located in the outer side of the side away from the user's own hair. The loop portion 21 can be inserted with a bundle of the user's own hair separated by a predetermined amount, and, as will be described later, the loop portion 21 is inserted with the bundle of own hair. The loop portion 21 is flexible (that is, in a flat state, the hollow portion of the hair connector 10 so that the loop portion 21 can pass through the hollow portion 11 of the hair connector 10 while being deformed). Flexible enough to be inserted through the portion 11. The loop portion 21 is connected to the operation portion 22 via the hollow portion 11 of the hair connector 10. In this embodiment, the self-hair bundle pull-in tool 20 is configured in a ring shape by connecting both ends of the flexible wire, and operates with the loop portion 21 via the hollow portion 11 of the hair connector 10. It is divided into the part 22. In this case, a part of the hair bundle pulling tool 20 extending from the one end 12 side of the hair connector 10 constitutes the loop portion 21, and the hair bundle extending from the other end 13 side of the hair connector 10. The remaining part of the retractor 20 constitutes the operation unit 22. The hair bundle retractor 20 may be previously molded into an integral ring shape.

  The own hair bundle retractor 20 may further include a removal preventing means for preventing the own hair bundle retractor 20 from falling off the hair connector 10. In this embodiment, this drop prevention means is connected to the loop portion 21 so that the loop portion 21 does not fall out to the other end 13 side through the hollow portion 11 of the hair connector 10. In order to prevent another loop-like object 23 and the operation part 22 from falling out to the one end 12 side through the hollow part 11 of the hair connector 10, a protrusion formed on a part of the operation part 22 And an object 24. Thus, the own hair bundle drawing tool 20 is inserted into the hair connecting tool 10 because the own hair bundle drawing tool 20 is provided with means for preventing the hair from pulling out, such as another loop-like object 23 or protrusion 24. Since the hair connecting device 10 is firmly held in the state of being connected, the self-hair bundle retractor 20 does not fall out of the hair connecting device 10 when the connecting device 1 is circulated, and the connecting device 1 of the present invention is easy. And the distribution cost can be reduced.

  Here, when the own hair bundle retractor 20 is made of a single flexible wire (for example, nylon), the own hair bundle retractor 20 is looped through the protrusion 24. You may comprise so that it may couple | bond together (ring shape). The drop prevention means is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 1, and is, for example, a configuration in which a seal-like object having a width somewhat larger than the diameter of the hollow portion 11 is attached to both the loop portion 21 and the operation portion 22. Also good.

  When the self-hair bundle retractor 20 is connected to the user's own hair bundle, the self-hair bundle retractor 20 deforms the removed self-hair bundle retractor 20 when the self-hair bundle is pulled in and removed from the hair connector 10. However, it can be used again as the self-hair bundle retractor 20 by inserting it into the new hair coupler 10. Since the self-hair bundle retractor 20 can be reused as such, the manufacturing cost of the coupling device 1 can be reduced.

  In the state where the user's own hair bundle is inserted through the loop portion 21 of the own hair bundle retractor 20, the connecting device 1 of the present embodiment is in the right direction (the other end 13 side) from the left side (one end 12 side) in FIG. ), The user's own hair bundle in the loop portion 21 is deformed while the operation portion 22 is operated so as to pull out the own hair bundle drawing tool 20 through the hollow portion 11. When the loop portion 21 is completely pulled out of the hair connector 10 from the one end 12 side of the hair connector 10, the user's own hair bundle is pulled into the hair connector 10. It is comprised so that it may be located in. This method will be described in detail when the connecting method of the connecting device of the present invention is described with reference to FIG.

  Next, a case where an extension is attached as an adherend to the coupling device of the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view showing the connecting device 2 in which the hair connector 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes an extension, and FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged sectional view of the connecting device 2 shown in FIG. is there. Hereinafter, the connecting device 2 shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 will be described focusing on the differences from the connecting device 1 described above, and the same matters will be denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

  The adherend in the connecting device 2 of the present embodiment is an extension 30 that is attached in advance to the inner surface of the hair connector 10. In the present embodiment, as described above, the extension 30 is bonded to the hair connector 10 having an inner surface coated (applied) with the adhesive via the adhesive.

  The extension 30 is configured by appropriately changing the amount and length to be attached to one connecting device 2 according to the user's preference, but the connection device 2 and the user's own hair bundle It is preferable that the bonding force (attachment force) is adhered to the inner surface of the hair connector 10 to such an extent that the bonding force (attachment force) does not become weak. For this reason, in this embodiment, the extension 30 is bonded to a range of about 1/3 to 1/2 of the inner circumference of the hair connector 10.

  As can be seen from the mounting position (mounting direction) of the extension 30 in FIG. 3, in the state where the hair coupler 10 of the coupling device 2 is attached to the bundle of the user's own hair, the one end 12 side of the hair coupler 10 is The root of the bunch of own hair, that is, is directed to the background side, and the other end 13 side is directed to the hair end side of the bunch of own hair.

  In the present invention, various extensions can be used as the extension 30 and are not particularly limited. For example, a long extension or a short extension such as a straight hair extension or a curled extension may be used. Can be mentioned.

  Further, FIG. 3 shows the extension 30 attached to the inner surface of the hair connector 10 on the background side tip, but the background side tip extends (projects) from one end 12 side of the hair connector 10. ) Even such a configuration does not weaken the adhesiveness between the hair connector 10 and the bundle of the person's own hair.

  Next, the case where the attachment means which attaches | detaches detachable ornaments or favorite goods as an adherend to the connection apparatus of this invention is attached is demonstrated. FIG. 4 is a schematic perspective view showing the connecting device 3 in which the hair connector 10 according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes the mounting means 40. Hereinafter, the coupling device 3 shown in FIG. 4 will be described mainly with respect to the differences from the coupling device 1 and the coupling device 2 described above, and the same matters are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

  The connecting device 3 shown in FIG. 4 includes mounting means 40 for detachably mounting a decorative article or a favorite item instead of the extension 30 in the connecting device 2 shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the mounting means 40 is a hook for hooking a decorative article or a favorite article attached to the hollow portion 11 of the hair connector 10 via a string. Examples of ornaments and luxury items attached to the hook include accessories such as jewelry and necklaces, cylindrical fluorescent materials that fluoresce when folded, and cylindrical fragrances that release fragrance when folded. .

  The mounting means 40 is not limited to the above-described configuration. For example, the attachment means 40 does not hook the string to the hollow portion 11 of the hair connector 10, but is a flexible rod-like object or string-like object attached to the hook. May be bonded to the inner surface of the hair connector 10 via an adhesive, or the hook itself may be directly attached to the hair connector 10. Further, the mounting means 40 may be provided in the hair connector 10 together with the extension 30 of the connecting device 2.

  Next, several modified examples of the hair bundle retractor 20 will be described. FIG. 5 is a front view showing a modification of the hair bundle retractor 20 shown in FIG. In any of the modifications, the hair coupler 10 is indicated by a wavy line for easy explanation, and the difference from the coupling device 1 described above will be mainly described, and the same matters will be the same. The description is omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C, the own hair bundle retractor 20 has a connecting portion 25 that connects the loop portion 21 and the operation portion 22. Here, the self-hair bundle retractor 20 in the present modification is at least one of the connecting portions 25 in a state before the connection device 1 is used, that is, in a state before the connection device 1 is attached to the user's own hair bundle. The part is configured to be located in the hollow part 11 of the hair connector 10.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (a), the operation unit 22 includes a ring-shaped object 22a into which at least one finger of a user or a practitioner can be inserted. In the second modification, As shown in FIG.5 (b), it is comprised from the bar 22b connected with the connection part 25 so that it may be substantially orthogonal to the connection part 25, and in a 3rd modification, as shown in FIG.5 (c), a loop part 21 is composed of a loop-like object 22 c having substantially the same shape as 21. With such a configuration, the self-hair bundle retractor 20 is inserted into the hair connector 10 in the state where the self-hair bundle retractor 20 is inserted into the hair connector 10 without applying the drop prevention means shown in FIG. Can be held firmly.

  Moreover, in these modified examples, the own hair bundle retractor 20 extracted from the hair connector 10 is similar to the connecting devices 1, 2 and 3 shown in FIGS. It can be reused as the retractor 20. Therefore, with such a configuration, there is a possibility that the manufacturing cost of the coupling device can be reduced.

  Next, a modified example in which an extension is attached as an adherend to the coupling device of the present invention will be described. FIG. 6 is a schematic perspective view showing a modified example (coupling device 2A) of the coupling device 2 including the extension 30 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the connecting device 2A illustrated in FIG. 6 will be described with a focus on the differences from the connecting device 2 described above, and the same matters will be denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

  The connecting device 2A of the present modified example is different from the connecting device 2 shown in FIG. 2 in that the self-hair bundle retractor 20 is a string-like self-hair bundle retractor 20A made of nylon or the like, and the other configuration. Is the same as the connecting device 2.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, the self-hair bundle retractor 20A is a string-like body made of nylon or the like. One end of the hair bundle retractor 20A is held (adhered) to the inner surface of the hair connector 10 directly or via an extension 30 by an adhesive or the like, and the other end is in a free state (free carrying state). It has become. Then, when the self-hair bundle retractor 20A is used, that is, when the hair connector 10 including the extension 30 is connected to the user's own hair bundle, as shown in FIG. 6B, the other end is connected to the hair. The loop portion 21A is configured by inserting into the hollow 11 of the tool 10 and utilizing the substantially central portion of the self-hair bundle retractor 20A. In this state, the other end side that has completely passed through the hollow portion 11 of the hair connector 10 constitutes the operation portion 22A.

  When the connecting device 2A is used, the loop portion 21A passes through the hollow portion 11 of the hair connecting device 10 in a state where the user's own hair bundle is inserted into the loop portion 21A of the own hair bundle retracting device 20A. By operating the operation portion 22A so as to pull out the hair bundle retractor 20A, the user's own hair bundle in the loop portion 21A is deformed from the one end 12 side of the hair connector 10 while the loop portion 21A is deformed. When the loop portion 21 </ b> A is completely pulled out from the hair connector 10, a bundle of the user's own hair is positioned in the hair connector 10. .

  In this state, one end of the own hair bundle retractor 20A that is bonded and held on the inner surface of the hair connector 10 is a force in a direction in which it is peeled from the bonded state (a direction away from the bonded portion with the hair connector 10). Thus, it can be easily removed (stripped) from the inner surface of the hair connector 10. Even when the self-hair bundle retractor 20A has such a configuration, the effect of the present invention can be achieved.

  In the state shown in FIG. 6A, when the connecting device 2A is distributed, it takes time to insert one end of the hair bundle retractor 20A into the hollow portion 11 of the hair connector 10 during use. It is not necessary to separately receive such a prevention means, and the manufacturing cost and distribution cost can be reduced. On the other hand, when the connecting device 2A is circulated in the state shown in FIG. 6 (b), for example, it is possible to save trouble during use, although it requires means for preventing the removal of a seal-like material or the like.

  Next, another modified example in which an extension is attached as an adherend to the coupling device of the present invention will be described. FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view showing another modified example (coupling device 2B) of the coupling device 2 including the extension 30 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the coupling device 2B shown in FIG. 7 will be described with a focus on the differences from the coupling device 2 described above, and the same matters will be denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

  In the coupling device 2B according to this modification, the operation unit 22B of the hair bundle retractor 20B is provided with an operation assisting unit 26, and the operation unit 22B is not formed in a loop shape, but two flexible wires (for example, nylon) and the like. 2 is different from the coupling device 2 shown in FIG. 2, and the other configuration is the same as that of the coupling device 2.

  The self-hair bundle retractor 20B rolls one flexible wire (for example, nylon) and inserts both ends thereof into the hollow portion 11 of the hair connector 10 (or one flexible wire). And is inserted into the hollow part 11 of the hair connector 10 while deforming the substantially central part), and the hair bundle retractor 20B is held in this state.

  Further, the self-hair bundle retractor 20B includes operation assisting means 26 in the vicinity of both ends of the two flexible wires of the operation unit 22B. The operation assisting means 26 is composed of a plurality of protrusions as shown in FIG. 7, and when the user's own hair bundle is drawn into the hollow portion 11 of the hair connector 10, the operation portion 22 </ b> B slips. It is intended to assist the practitioner so that it can be easily operated without any trouble. In addition, when the operation assisting means 26 has a size that prevents the hollow portion 11 of the hair connector 10 from being able to pass through the nun, the operation assisting means 26 also functions as a means for preventing disconnection during distribution. Thereby, distribution cost can be reduced.

  Also in this embodiment, the self-hair bundle retractor 20B extracted from the hair connector 10 is similar to the connection devices 1, 1A to 1C, 2 and 3 shown in FIGS. It can be reused as the hair bundle retractor 20B. Therefore, with such a configuration, the manufacturing cost of the coupling device 2B can be reduced.
