- The description is presented to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention and to incorporate it in the context of particular applications. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without necessarily being limited to these specific details. The present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments presented, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
- Unlike anything on the market, the night roller overcomes the limitations, disadvantages and discomfort of the existing rollers by providing users with a concealed, aesthetically pleasing, versatile, hair friendly and comfortable method of curling hair and increasing wave span comfortably overnight.
- This is a method that allows the user to roll hair over said roller's body
FIG. 7 , bend roller into a circleFIG. 4 , use the extended sleeve's flaps to secure intoplace 12 with an easy hand-tie 17 and fan the rolled hair circularly over the entire surface of the roller in a bun-like shape 14 for added volume. - The night roller is a
hair rolling device 13 comprised of an elongated, cylindrically shaped, lightweight, flexible core filling defining areceiving area 10, positioned centrally within a fitted, strong, flexible, tear-resistant sleeve 11 that extends fromopposite ends 11A & 11B to allow for a hair friendly hand-tie closure 12. The sleeve is sewn shut at both ends. - The rod is a polyethylene foam, a “Domestic End Product” as defined in the Buy American Act, Title 41 USC 10 and meets all of the requirements of the 1990 Clean Air Act. It is non-allergenic, non-exuding, moisture repellent and nonabsorbent, virtually dust-free, has superb strength, shock absorption, tear resistance, it is impervious to mildew, mold, rot and bacteria.
- The sleeve's length is approximately double in relation to the core, although these proportions may vary. The overall length and diameter of the preferred embodiment can differ to satisfy the needs of users having different lengths of hair.
- By way of example and not limitation, typical dimensions for the night roller include a body circumference ranging between ¾ inch and 1 inch and a length ranging between 5 to 7 inches from side edge to side edge. The end tie strips, are between ¾ and 1 inch wide and extend laterally between 3 and 5 inches in each direction.
- The above exemplary sizes should not be interpreted in a limiting sense. No attempt to specifically limit the present invention to these illustrative dimensions is intended. Various changes and modifications can be made, it can have different density and weight and come in different shapes and materials.
- A method of rolling hair and increasing wave span overnight or daytime by using the night roller is further provided. It includes the steps of dividing hair into sections, placing
hair 16 in the receiving area of theroller 10, rolling each hair portion over the roller's body and over itselfFIG. 6 beginning at the hair's endsFIG. 5 all the way up to the rootsFIG. 7 , bending the roller'score 10 into a circular shape and securing into place by using the fabric sleeve'spanels 11A & 11B extending from opposite edges of the sleeve'sbody 11, with aneasy hand tie 12 and abow 17. The rolled hair is then fanned over the entire surface of the rollerFIG. 8 in a bun-like shape 14 to result in a greater wave span. - Preferred and alternative embodiments are shown in
FIGS. 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 & 16 . The night rollers can be used as a set of sevenFIG. 9 or in any number preferred. Can be pairedFIG. 12 , or used alone for bangsFIG. 13 &FIG. 14 , setting the hair on a highFIG. 11 , midFIG. 15 or lowFIG. 16 bun-like shape ponytail rolls. - The night roller is a concealed and esthetically pleasing device that can be worn anytime, anywhere in a wide variety of ways, revealing voluminous curls after removed. It provides a firm support but it is comfortable enough for prolonged use or when lying down to sleep.
- The sleeve eliminates the use of inside wires and the danger that comes with them poking through.
- The hand-tie closure resulted from the extended sleeve's panels, eliminates the use of hair damaging materials used for closures.
- The device's core of predetermined diameter is elongated and cut to an optimal size, providing an auxiliary extension that increases the effective length of rolling surface and accomplishes a greater span of wave.
- Hair rollers have been in use for hundreds of years and they come in numerous styles shapes and designs, but while operable for curling hair, they are often uncomfortable and undesirable for prolonged or overnight use, because they are hard, heavy, bulky, and uncomfortable interrupting sleep patterns and causing neck pain.
- Exposed foam and sponge curlers tend to cause hair ends to tangle, split or damage. The wires used inside of the existing foam roller's core can perforate the foam and sleeve and damage the users scalp. Repeated bending of the wire, causes the wire to can snap, making them unusable.
- Rubber and plastic end caps, clasps, elastics, pins or Velcro are commonly used for closures. Such abrasive materials can catch, pull or brake user's hair causing damage, hair thinning and even hair loss.
- To protect the hair against unfriendly materials, some hair rollers have been covered on a variety of materials such as silk, satin other quality-like materials, but the slick and slippery proprieties of this kind of fabric makes it hard to secure into place as they slide off with ease. Covering the body of the roller with a fabric sleeve does not fix the problem of the hair coming in contact with hair unfriendly materials, since the closures remain made of harsh materials.
- If worn overnight, they don't stay into place and are more often found in or around the bed instead on the user's head the next day.
- Furthermore such rollers have a limited rolling surface and are limited to being used in a particular manner and offer very little flexibility in the choice of forming, waving or curling.
- In our fast moving world, women, especially mothers, are so involved with work and family duties that they are often left with little or no time for maintaining well groomed hair. Being able to achieve voluminous, beautifully curled hair in a concealed, aesthetically pleasing manner, overnight, is something women have desired and been dreaming about since the beginning of time.
- As can be seen from the prior art listed below, all rolling devices use components made of hair unfriendly materials that can catch, pull or brake user's hair causing hair damage, thinning or hair loss.
