The present disclosure is best understood by referring to the drawings. The elements of the drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the disclosure.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a hair apparatus 100 in accordance with an
embodiment of the present disclosure. The hair apparatus 100 comprises a comb portion 102 and a clip portion 101.
The clip portion 101 comprises clip heads 103 and 104. The clip heads 103 and 104 may be decorative, as shown in FIG. 1. The clip heads 103 and 104 are attached together via a band 105. Such band 105 may be, for example, made of a stretchy elastic material.
Further, the clip heads 103 and 104 are attached to the comb portion 102. In this regard, the clip head 103 is coupled to a clip 106 that couples to the comb portion 102.
Further, the clip head 104 comprises a clip 107 that couples to the comb portion 102. Such is described further herein.
In one embodiment, both of the clip heads 103 and 104 are removably coupled to the comb portion 102. In such an embodiment, a user (not shown) lifts and twists his/her hair (not shown), and the comb portion 102 is inserted in the user's hair behind the lifted and twisted portion of the user's hair. The clip portion 101 is attached to the comb portion 102, and the user lets the hair drop over the hair apparatus 100, which is described further herein.
FIG. 2 depicts the comb portion 102 separated from the clip portion 101 (FIG. 1). The comb portion 102 comprises comb teeth 200 integrally formed with a spine 201. The spine may be, for example, substantially arc-shaped. The spine 201 comprises an end 202 and an end 203.
The teeth 200 are integrally formed with the spine 201 such that the teeth extend from the spine 201. During use, the teeth 200 are inserted into a user's hair (not shown), as described hereinabove. The teeth 200 retain a portion of the user's hair in a fixed arrangement.
The spine 201 comprises an opening 220 on the end 202. While not shown in FIG. 2, the end 203 also comprises an opening (not shown). The opening 220 on the end 202 and the opening on the end 203 are for receiving the clip 106 (FIG. 1) of clip head 103 (FIG. 1) and clip 107 (FIG. 1) of clip head 104 (FIG. 1). Furthermore, opening 220 is depicted as being circular-shaped. However, such opening 220 may be other shapes in other embodiments. For example, the opening 220 may be rectangular-shaped.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the end 202 of the comb portion 102. In this regard, the first end 202 has formed within the first end 202 the opening 220. Notably, the opening 220 receives a portion of the clip 106 (FIG. 1) of the clip head 103 (FIG. 1) such that the first clip head 103 is removably coupled to the spine 201.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the end 203 of the comb portion 102. In this regard, the spine 201 has formed within the end 203 an opening 400, which is described further herein. Similar to the first end 202 and its respective opening 220, the opening 400 receives a portion of the clip 107 (FIG. 1) of the clip head 104 (FIG. 1) such that the clip head 104 is coupled to the spine 201. When both clip heads 103 and 104 are coupled to the spine 201, the band 105 (FIG. 1) stretches over the spine 201. In such an embodiment, a user (not shown) lifts and twists his/her hair (not shown), and the comb portion 102 is inserted in the user's hair behind the lifted and twisted portion of the user's hair. The clip portion 101 is attached to the comb portion 102, and the user lets the hair drop over the hair apparatus 100, which is described further herein.
FIG. 5 depicts a front view of the clip portion 101 separated from the comb portion 102 (FIG. 1). As described with respect to FIG. 1, the clip portionlOl comprises the clip heads 103 and 104 attached together via a band 105, which may be made of a stretchy elastic material. In such an embodiment, the band 105 may further be covered with a material that covers the stretchy elastic material.
Because the clip portion 101 is removable, the clip portion 101 may be
interchangeable with other clip portions (not shown) exhibiting different clip heads 103 and 104, i.e., different decorative clip heads may be used.
Note that in such an embodiment, the clip portion 101 is removable from the comb portion 102. However, in other embodiments depicted in FIGS. 1 la- 13 below, one of the clip heads 103 or 104 may be fixedly coupled to the comb portion 102 such that the clip portion 101 cannot be completely removed from the comb portion 102.
Furthermore, the clip heads 103 and 104 are coupled to the clips 106 and 107, respectively. As described above, the clips 106 and 107 snugly fit within the openings 220 (FIG. 3) and 400 (FIG. 4), respectively, thereby coupling the clip portion 101 to the comb portion 102. FIG. 6 depicts a back view of the clip portion 101. The clip portion 101 comprises the clip heads 103 and 104. Further, the clips 106 and 107 are coupled to the clip heads 103 and 104, respectively. Note that the clips 106 and 107 may be attached to the clip heads 103 and 104, respectively, in any manner known in the art or future-developed. As an example, the clips 106 and 107 may be welded to the clip heads 103 and 104, respectively.
In one embodiment, the clips 106 and 107 are substantially U-shaped. The clips 106 and 107 are formed such that they fit within the opening 220 (FIG. 3) and opening 400 (FIG. 4), respectively. Thus, the openings 220 and 400 retain the clips 106 and 107 while the band 105 is stretched across the spine 201 (FIG. 2) of the comb portion 102 (FIG. 2). Therefore, a user's hair (not shown) is retained in an upright position, wherein the hair (not shown) falls over the hair apparatus 100.
Note that the clips 106 and 107 are depicted as U-shaped. However, the clips 106 and 107 may be other shapes in other embodiments.
FIG. 7 depicts a plan view of a back of the clip head 103. The back of the clip head 103 comprises the substantially U-shaped clip 106, as described hereinabove.
Notably, the clip 106 is substantially U-shaped and is configured for insertion into opening 220 (FIG. 3) of the spine 201 (FIG. 4).
In addition to the clip 106, the clip head 103 further comprises two substantially U- shaped clips 700 and 701. The U-shaped clips 700 and 701 receive, and fixedly retain, a portion of the band 105, thereby securing the first clip head 103 to the band 105. In one embodiment the portion of the band 105 wraps around the U-shaped clips 700 and 701 and that portion of the band 105 is sewn such that it is retained by the U-shaped clips 700 and 701.
Note that the clip head 104 is arranged in a substantially similar fashion as the clip head 103. In this regard, the clip head 104 also fixedly retains the band 105. However, for brevity, the clip head 104 and its attachment to the band 105 are not discussed in detail here.
FIG. 8 depicts a top plan view of the comb portion 102. In such a view, the spine 201 is shown integrally formed with the teeth 200. In addition, FIG. 8 depicts the openings 220 and 400 formed within the ends 202 and 203 of the spine 201. As described hereinabove, the openings 220 and 400 receive the clips 106 (FIG. 1) and 107 (FIG. 1), respectively. When the clips 106 and 107 are inserted within the openings 220 and 400, the band 105 (FIG. 1) stretches across the spine 201, thereby retaining the clips 106 and 107 and allowing hair (not shown) to be retained in an upright position with a portion of the hair falling over the hair apparatus 100.
In this regard, as described above, the band 105 may be made of a stretchy elastic material such that the band 105 stretches across the spine 201. The stretching of the band 105 across the spine 201 causes a force on the clips 106 and 107 that pulls the clips 106 and 107 inwardly into the openings 220 and 400, respectively. This force caused by the band 105 ensures that the clips 106 and 107 are retained within the openings 220 and 400.
FIG. 9 depicts a side view of a comb portion 901 in accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure. The comb portion 901 also comprises a spine 902 integrally formed with the teeth 900, similar to the comb portion 102 of previous embodiment. However, in such an embodiment depicted in FIG. 9, the opening 903 has an indentation 904.
FIG. 10 depicts a clip 1000 that can be used with the comb portion 901 depicted in FIG. 9. Notably, the clip 1000 would be attached to the first clip head 103 (FIG. 1), similar to the clip 106 described with reference to FIG. 6. However, in such an embodiment, the clip 1000 would further comprise a protrusion 1001. Thus, when the clip 1000 is inserted into the opening 903 (FIG. 9), the protrusion 1001 would fit within the indentation 904 (FIG. 9) thereby fixedly securing the clip 1000 to the opening 903 of the spine 902 (FIG. 9).
FIG. 11a depicts a perspective view of another hair apparatus 1100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure in a closed position. The hair apparatus 1100 comprises a comb portion 1102. The comb portion comprises a spine 1101 integrally formed with a plurality of teeth 1103.

The clip portion 1104 comprises a substantially rectangular clip head 1108, which is hingedly coupled to the spine 1101 via a hinge 1109 on an end 1105. In this regard, the clip head 1108 is fixedly coupled to the spine 1101 via the hinge 1109.
In addition, the clip portion 1104 comprises a clip head 1110. The clip head 1110 is substantially L-shaped and a portion of the L-shaped clip head 1110 fits around an end 1106 of the spine 1101. In such an embodiment, the clip head 1110 is removably fixed to the end 1106 of the spine 1101, as described herein.
Additionally, the clip portion 1104 comprises a band 1107. In one embodiment, the band 1107 is made of an elastic or stretchy material. The band 1107 couples the clip head 1108 to the clip head 1110. The elasticity of the band 1107 causes a pulling force that pulls the L-shaped clip head 1110 so as to retain the clip head 1110 coupled to the spine 1101.
FIG. 1 lb shows the hair apparatus 1100 in an open position. Notably, the L- shaped clip head 1110 further comprises a protrusion 1113. Further, the end 1106 of the spine 1101 further comprises an opening 1114. When the clip portion 1104 is hingedly closed the L-shaped clip head 1110 fits around the end 1106 and the protrusion 1113 fits within the opening 1114, thereby retaining the hair apparatus in the closed position shown in FIG. 11a.
As described, the clip head 1108 is fixedly attached to the comb portion 1102 at the first end 1105 of the spine 1101, and the clip head 1110 is removably attachable to the second end 1106 of the spine 1101.
