The device holds the hair in place but the invention has a unique modification that is lacking in other hair accessories. The invention enables an insertion to be placed within the hair-sticks to allow a perfumed scent to emit from the hair accessory.
  • Though the invention can be made out of wood or metal, it seems plastic is the most effective means of production. The invention is made out of plastic by using a injection mold. The shape of the invention is carved into the mold used to produce the invention. The mold will have both the main shaft of the invention and the top of the invention. Liquified plastic is then injected into the mold. After the plastic has cooled, the two separate pieces of the invention are removed and inspected for imperfections. Barring no imperfections, the two separate pieces are placed aside.
  • The main shaft, or body, is a hollow core with two sets of six small holes that run vertically down the length of the cone. These holes allow the scent to escape once the scented insertion has been placed within the cone. The top of the invention is a piece of plastic that can be fitted directly into the top of the body of the hair-stick. The top is fitted perfectly to the body of the hair-stick so that it can be pressed gently into place. This allows the scented insertion to remain in the body of the hair-stick.
  • The third component of the invention is a scented insert. The scented insertion is a stiff piece of porous fabric or cork that will be put into a scented liquid in order to absorb as much of the liquid as possible. After the insertion has absorbed the scented liquid it will be packaged to ensure that the scent does not dissipate.
  • The packaging will contain both the top and body of the hair-stick. The scented insertion will be in the package as well, but in its own protective wrapper to keep the scent form dissipating.

Claims (4)

1. We claim the invention “Scented Hair-Sticks” to be the unique invention of David A. Fradkin and Katherine J. Maples-Andrade.
2. Though there are other hair sticks and hair accessories currently on the market, the “Scented Hair-Sticks” is the first hair accessory that allows a scent or perfume to be emitted from the device, specifically from its design.
3. We claim that since the “Scented Hair-Stick” is the first invention of its kind, others will take the idea to create “spin off” products.
4. As a result, all hair accessories that emit a scent or perfume should fall under the protection of this application.
