Definitions

  • the invention relates to a replacement hair strand having a hair joining element consisting of a flat platelet with a replacement hair strand embedded in the end thereof.
  • thermoplastic hair-joining elements An extremely large number of variants of replacement hair strands that are embedded at the end in a hair-joining element made of thermoplastic have been introduced into the market in recent years.
  • the spectrum of shapes of the thermoplastic hair-joining elements extends from completely flat, through slightly roof-gutter shaped platelets having U-, V-, and C-shapes.
  • U-shaped thermoplastic hair-joining elements are disclosed (e.g., in Austrian Patent AT 412 141), which also have longitudinal and/or transverse ribs.
  • a block-shaped hair-joining element i.e., essentially consisting of a rectangular prismatic thermoplastic hair-joining element, has been patented (AT 504 102), which has profiling (waves, riffles) over a free surface, onto which the natural hair is placed in contact with the replacement hair strand and pressed with the application of heat into the body of the hair-joining element, which completes the joining of the hair.
  • thermoplastic hair-joining elements it is necessary to have sufficient thermoplastic material to achieve a secure melted joint on the one hand, while using as little material as possible, on the other hand, so that the joining of the replacement hairs to the natural hairs is practically undetectable. It is also essential that manipulations during the application of the replacement hair strands to the natural hair be kept as simple as possible.
  • the block shaped hair-joining element according to AT 504 102 was then developed, which nonetheless has the drawback of relatively high material costs.
  • the object of the present invention is to minimize the material costs without foregoing the security of the hair connection.
  • the advantageous improvement of the hair joining element disclosed in AT 504 102 is that instead of a prismatic body, a familiar flat, thin platelet acts as the joining element, which in contrast to the conventional platelets has at least one rib that protrudes obliquely to the strand direction that essentially supplies the material for joining the replacement hair strands to the natural hair strands.
  • the replacement hair strands according to the invention can thus be attached more securely to the natural hair than was previously the case with conventional platelet-shaped joining elements.
  • the joining element according to the invention has the advantage of a smaller volume, but still has sufficient joining material due to the rib.
  • the hair-joining element no longer needs to be a thermoplastic, since there are materials with which two or more elements can be joined by embedding with one another, wherein the embedding and curing is not triggered by hot pressing, but rather through ultraviolet or laser light, for example.
  • the object of the invention thus extends to any hair joining materials that assure the initial embedding of the replacement hair strands and the embedding of natural hair strands used in the course of hair lengthening or hair thickening.
  • a single rib can protrude from the platelet, but a plurality of ribs can also be provided.
  • the angle of the rib with respect to the strand direction can be 90°, i.e., the rib can be oriented perpendicular to the strand direction; but it can also be different, e.g., such that the rib extends approximately diagonally above the flat side of the platelet.
  • the profile of the rib can likewise be varied. In the simplest case it can be rectangular, but a trapezoidal or dovetail profile is also possible, i.e., since the rib is either thicker or thinner where it attaches to the platelet than at its free end.
  • the height of the rib can also be varied, i.e., it can be lower or higher than the longitudinal extent in the strand direction. However, it is always necessary that enough material be included for securely embedding the natural hair strands.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 The invention is explained in greater detail by a preferred exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 as depicted in an oblique view.
  • the natural hair strand with the hair-joining element according to FIG. 1 has a flat rib 1 in which the ends of a replacement hair strand 2 are embedded in the longitudinal direction.
  • a single rib 3 protrudes perpendicular to the strand direction from one of the two flat sides of the platelet 1 , preferentially around the middle of the longitudinal side of the platelet 1 .
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment having two ribs 2 ; more ribs can also be provided.
  • the rib 2 has a platelet 1 of thickness d at its base; its height h is at most the length l of the platelet 1 .
  • the replacement hair strand 2 to a natural hair strand 4
  • the latter is applied to the rib(s) 3 , and is embedded in it, depending on the respective material of the hair-joining element consisting of platelets 1 to rib 3 (in the case of a thermoplastic hair-joining element, e.g., with hot forceps).
  • the rib material thereby envelops the hairs of the natural hair strands, whereby a secure connection is made.
