Abstract
A hair ornament device has an ornamental object such as a plate with an ornamental front face and a hook or other securing member attached to the rear face of the plate for hooking over an elasticated pony tail loop. An elongate member is secured to the ornamental object so as to depend from the object when hooked onto a pony tail holder or loop. The elongate member in one example is a helical hair coil for wrapping over a bunch of hair.
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/763,010 filed Jan. 26, 2006.
- The present invention relates to hair ornament devices and devices for decorating, restraining, and shaping hair, and particularly to a pony tail accessory for use with a conventional pony tail holder or scrunchy.
- Elastic bands, scrunchies, ribbons and the like have long been known for holding bunches of hair in the form of ponytails, pigtails, braids, and the like. Ornamental devices have been proposed in the past for attachment to a simple pony tail holder. For example, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2005/0056298 of McRoberts describes a hook-on ornament for attachment to a pony tail holder. U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0237992 of Klug describes an interchangeable hair band system in which an S-shaped double hook fits through a loop of a decorative element on one side and through an elasticized band or pony tail holder on the other side.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, a hair ornament device is provided, which comprises an ornamental object having a decorative front face and a rear face, at least one securing member attached to the rear face of the object for securing to an elasticated pony tail loop, and an elongate member secured to the ornamental object so as to depend therefrom when the object is secured to a pony tail holder loop.
- The securing member is a hook in the exemplary embodiment, but may be a clip or clasp member in alternative embodiments, such as a claw-type alligator or butterfly clip. The elongate member may be permanently secured to the rear face of the ornamental object, which may be a plate or shield-like device, or may be releasably secured to the ornamental object. In the latter case, a loop or ring may be secured to a lower portion of the object for allowing an elongate member to be releasably secured to the object. Two or more hook members may be secured to the rear face of the ornamental object, if desired, to provide a more stable attachment to a pony tail holder or loop.
- In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the elongate member comprises an elongated helical member for wrapping around and enclosing a bunch of hair. The member is secured to the ornamental object at one end, for example by welding or the like. This device can be used in various ways. One option is to enclose the wearer's hair completely with an elasticated band or scrunchy, hook the ornamental object onto the band at a location where it is visible to an observer, and wrap the helical member around all of the hair. Another option is to wrap only a portion of the hair in the pony tail into the helical member.
- The elongated helical member may have an ornamental element dangling from its free end, such as a jewel, string of jewels, ornamentally shaped piece of metal, or a chain or multiple chains from which ornaments are suspended.
- The helical member may be of uniform pitch and diameter along its length, or may be of variable pitch and/or variable diameter. The member comprises a single piece of rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible material, and may be made of ornamental metal, plastic, or the like. A post or holding pin may be provided to extend through the helical member, the post having an ornamental head.
- In another embodiment of the invention, the elongate member may be a dangling chain, ribbon, line, or beaded element secured directly to the ornamental object and having one or more ornaments along its length and/or at its free end.
- In one embodiment of the invention, a first ornamental object comprising a plate or shield has a first hook secured to its rear face and is secured to the end of an elongated helical member, and a second ornamental object comprising a similar or identical plate or shield with a second hook on its rear face is secured to the opposite end of the helical member. The second ornamental plate may be secured to the helical member by welding or by engaging its hook through a ring or loop at the end of the helical member. The first hook can be hooked over a first pony tail holder or band while the second hook can be hooked over a second pony tail holder or band, the helical member being wound around the hair constrained between the two pony tail holders. A second elongate helical member may be secured to depend from the second ornamental plate. In another alternative arrangement, the first ornamental object may be hooked onto a ring or loop of a third ornamental object which has a rear hook, providing a different ornamental effect.
- In another embodiment of the invention, a first ornamental object with a rear hook is secured to a line of two or more additional ornamental objects of a similar nature via intervening chains or the like, to produce an armor-like ornamental appearance. The ornamental objects in this case may be plates or shields of gradually reducing dimensions. One or more of the plates may have hooks on their rear faces for hooking onto pony tail holders placed at spaced intervals along a bunch of hair. A dangling ornament may be suspended from the lowermost ornamental object in this arrangement.
- In an alternative embodiment of the invention, a hair ornament device comprises a securing member for attaching to an elastic band and an elongate member having a proximal and distal end. The securing member is fixedly attached to the proximal end of the elongated member. The hair ornament device may further comprises a elastic loop, where the securing member is attached.
- The hair ornament device of this invention allows the appearance of a conventional pony tail or pig tail and pony tail holder to be modified in a different and decorative manner. The first ornamental object or plate conceals the underlying pony tail holder and provides a more decorative appearance while the elongate member suspended from the first plate provides an enhanced ornamental appearance and may have additional hair holding features. For example, the device with an attached helical member can be used to hold and surround all or part of the bunch of hair held by the pony tail holder, producing a completely different appearance from a conventional pony tail. Where the device includes one or more additional plates with hooks, a series of plates can be hooked over spaced pony tail holders to produce a unique hair styling effect. The hair ornament device can also be used in conjunction with braids, and one or more of the devices may be used, for example where the wearer styles their hair with multiple braids or pigtails.
