Definitions
- the present invention relates to an accessory comprising at least two end bands which are connected with at least one connecting band.
- long hair In order to enhance the appealing appearance of persons having long hair, mostly women and children, or to protect or to manage long hair, it is common to arrange long hair in different hair styles, for example pigtail, ponytail or high-piled hair.
- US-B2-6,601,590 describes a hair strap with a number of hair loops, which is used for creating a hair style that combines a ponytail with high-piled hair.
- US-5,833,335 describes a hair slide used for creating advanced high- piled hair styles, and where it is possible to connect a number of hair slides.
- US-5,727,574 describes a method and an apparatus for braiding hair, and where the apparatus comprises two ties, which are connected with a connecting member, and where it is possible to braid the connecting member into a braided ponytail, hence providing a decorative hair style.
- a lace for clothing for enhancing the appearance of the clothing, which is decorative and easy to lace and tie.
- end bands and/or said connecting band are provided with one or more of the following: means for decoration, means for elongating/shortening said connection band, means for treatment, and/or means for measuring.
- the preferred use of the accessory according to the present invention is the use of it as an end band; however, with slight or no alteration, the same kind of accessory can be used as a shoe lace or a lace for clothing.
- hair tail will be used to refer to either a ponytail or a pigtail.
- the accessory according to the present invention has an array of different configurations where the basic principle is having two end bands connected with a connection band that is common to all the configurations.
- the accessory may have:
- one of the elastic end bands is wrapped tightly around a base portion of the person's hair whereby the lose ends of the hair portion form the hair tail, and the other end bands can also be wrapped around this hair tail.
- said accessory comprises at least two elastic end bands connected with at least one connecting band. This allows making one hair tail with one of the elastic end bands and a second hair tail with the other end band(s).
- Said second hair tail can be positioned over or under or to either side of said first hair tail, depending on the wanted hair style, but generally, if said first hair tail is a pony tail, said second pony tail will be positioned above under said first pony tail, and the connecting piece can be arranged around said first pony tail in order to either hide said connecting piece or to use the connecting piece to guide said first pony tail and/or decorate said first pony tail.
- Said two elastic end bands are prevented from sliding off said respective pony tails, because they are connected by said connecting piece.
- Said first elastic end band cannot slide off because of said connecting piece linking it to said second elastic end band, and said second elastic end band cannot slide off because said connecting piece is either wrapped around said second pony tail, and it will therefore be in the way, or said elastic end bands will have different sliding motions and therefore one of the elastic end bands will always prevent the sliding off of the other elastic end band.
- said second hair tail will typically be a pigtail positioned at the other side of the persons head and the connecting band can be arranged around the person's forehead or back head.
- said accessory comprises at least two end bands which are connected with at least one connecting band, and where said means for elongating/shortening said connection band are provided with one or more of the following:
- connection band - means for decoration, - means for elongating/shortening said connection band,
- connecting band and/or end bands could be used as decoration elements or for the attachment of different decorations, hence said at least one connecting band and/or at least two end bands are provided with means for decoration.
- Said means for decoration can be small parts of said connecting band/end bands where it is possible to attach for example brooches, flowers, pearls, figures in any colour, spangles, jewellery, stones, charms, and /or light diodes. These items can be attached using for example Nelcro, snap fasteners or buttons/holes.
- said means for decoration can be an integrated part of said connecting band end band for example in the form of colour patterns, fixed pearls, prmteoVsewn/knitted designs or print and the like.
- said at least one connecting band comprises means for longitudinal adjustment of said connecting band, which makes it possible to either arrange the end bands in predetermined positions and always with the same distance, or to arrange the end bands in different positions and then change the hair style.
- connection band Said means for elongating/shortening said connection band are one of the following:
- said accessory according to the present invention allows said accessory according to the present invention to be used by any person, irrespective of hair length and hair thickness, head size etc. of the person because the connecting band can be adjusted to allow for the aforementioned differences.
- said means for treatment are one or more of the following:
- the accessory to control for example lice, nits, and fleas in a person's hair, treat a skin condition of the head, and/or limit dandruff by treating said connection and/or said end bands with a powder or by attaching pellets to said connection and/or said end bands.
- said means for measuring are for example temperature sensors.
- said means for measuring will for example be temperature sensors arranged in connection with the connection band and having a surface in contact with the forehead of the person.
- said end bands and/or said connecting band are elastic, which makes it possible to arrange the elastic end bands in different positions and to compensate for the slight difference in position or size of the hair tails, or the size of the head of the individual person.
- said connecting band is non-elastic which makes it possible to arrange the elastic end bands in predetermined positions and always with the same distance.
- One connecting band connects two end bands and can be a chain, a piece of foil, a strap, a string, a band, a thread, or a combination of these.
- said connecting band may be a double string or a double strap.
- the connecting band can be made of for example a fabric (for example woven cloth), a plastic material, a metal material (for example gold or silver chain links), and/or a rubber material.
- said connecting band safely connects the at least two end bands.
- each of said at least one connecting band at both ends comprises means for connecting an elastic end band.
- Said means for connecting an elastic end band can for example be a clasp, a fastener, a chain link, a knot or alternatively be formed by wrapping the end part of said connecting band around said end band and tying to itself.
- the thread of the connecting band can be invisible in order to further enhance the decoration, i.e. without the thread being shown.
- said at least two elastic end bands and said at least one connecting band can be provided in one piece.
- the connecting band part can be provided along the edges with either snap fasteners, zippers or Nelcro bands. Thus it is possible to wrap the connecting band around the hair tail, which is arranged through the end band parts of the accessory.
- the one-piece accessory can be used as a head band or a sweat band.
- said at least one connecting band comprises means for providing elastic end bands.
- These means could be for example a clasp, a slider or a knot. If the means is a slider, it is possible to change the size of the end band, and the same accessory can thus be used for different persons and/or different hair styles.
- said at least two elastic end bands assume the same diameters when in unstretched condition. This makes it possible to use any of said end bands as the first end band, for example by wrapping it around the base ponytail, and then making a number of equally thick ponytails with the other end bands.
- said at least two elastic end bands can assume different diameters when in unstretched condition. This will allow a person to create the same advanced hair style, with different sizes of hair tails, time after time.
- this invention has been described for use by humans, but may of course also be used for dolls and animals, for example horses, dogs, cats etc.
- the accessory according to the present invention can be used as a necklace, a bracelet .for the wrist or the ankle, or as a belly chain. Especially if the connecting band and/or the end bands are provided with some kind of decoration.
- Another area of use of the accessory is as a carry and/or closing device for bags and carriers, hence replacing strings in bags and carriers.
