Definitions

  • This invention relates to a connector closing and reopening device for extensions and relative system of use, particularly suitable for applying and removing hair extensions, the said extensions being utilised to increase the amount of the user's hair or its length.
  • hair extensions are a natural way of acquiring longer hair, of the desired length, requiring only a single session for their application.
  • the first system is the traditional system, in which the extension is joined to the natural hair by means of a "knot" of glue melted by means of a source of heat.
  • a first drawback stems from the fact that, during the application stages, the person who applies the extensions gets their fingers dirty using substances containing glue and, similarly, the hair gets dirty and is often left sticky and consequently necessitates the use of solvents to remove the gluey residues, with the result that both the hair in the extensions and the natural hair are damaged.
  • the hot system requires an initial investment for the equipment which produces the source of heat, in addition to the fact that the said equipment must be used by a skilled person to prevent risking ruining the hair of the person to whom the extensions are applied.
  • the second system mentioned is a cold system, in which the natural hair is inserted into a connector to which a second element is fixed, into which, in turn, the additional hair of the extension is engaged.
  • a further cold system envisages the presence of a connector constituted substantially of a small pipe into which a thin strand of natural hair is slid, by means of a small hook. Once the hair is inserted, the connector is slid along the hair until it reaches approximately one centimetre from the user's scalp and the extension, whose hair is bound together with keratin wax, is inserted. At this point, the connector must be closed by pressing it together by means of tweezers so that the natural hair and the hair in the extension is bound together and cannot slide out of the connector.
  • a first drawback stems from the fact that, in addition to the small hook, a further two different instruments are necessary to close and to reopen the connector.
  • a further drawback stems from the fact that the natural hair of the person to whom the extensions are applied often breaks during the connector reopening stage.
  • a further but not final drawback is the presence of two separate instruments necessary for carrying out the two connector closing and reopening operations for the removal of the extensions, with consequent equipping costs and hindrances.
  • the aim of this invention is substantially to solve the problems of the commonly known technique by overcoming the difficulties outlined above by means of a connector closing and reopening device for extensions able to permit the connectors used to apply the hair extensions to be closed and reopened with a single instrument.
  • a second aim of this invention is to make available a connector closing and reopening device for extensions able to prevent both the hair of the person using the extensions and that of the extensions being cut off.
  • a further aim of this invention is to have a connector closing and reopening device for extensions able to be used perfectly with any connector of any type and form and with any diameter without losing its solidity and practicality.
  • a further aim of this invention is to have a connector closing and reopening device for extensions which enables the user to close the connectors quickly and easily and reopen them without damaging them so that they can be reused.
  • a further aim of this invention stems from the fact that the connector closing and reopening device for extensions has limited production costs.
  • a further but not final aim of this invention is to make available a connector closing and reopening device for extensions which is simple to produce and works well.
  • 1 refers to the connector closing and reopening device for extensions and relative system of use, according to this invention, as a whole.
  • the connector closing and reopening device for extensions 1 is substantially constituted of an instrument composed of two jaws joined with a hinge in which there is a first flat portion and a second saddle portion present.
  • the first jaw 20 comprises a handgrip 30, of a substantially known type, endowed, at its free end, with a portion 31 having a plurality of projections 32 and grooves 33 whose function will be outlined in detail below.
  • the first jaw 20 has, on the side opposite the hinge 5, a first flat section 6 (the first portion), designed to clasp and flatten a connector 10 resting on the said flat section, and a second section 7 (the second portion), positioned at the free end of the jaw 2, having a first couple of lugs 8 and a second couple of lugs 9, arranged mutually parallel, as shown clearly in figure 2.
  • a seat 11 present, arranged to house the flattened connector 10 which has to be reopened.
  • the second section 7 is endowed with channelling 12 which separates the lugs in each couple.
  • the second jaw 2 has a handgrip 3, also of a substantially known type, fitted with a resisting element 4 designed to exert a thrusting action against the corresponding handgrip 30 present on the first jaw 20.
  • the handgrip 3 has, at the free end, a small tooth 13.
  • each groove 33 is envisaged to house and engage the small tooth 13 on the second handgrip 3 depending on the force the user has to exert to either close a connector or reopen it.
  • the second jaw 2 also has, on the side opposite the hinge 5, a first flat section 60 (the first portion), designed to come into contact with the corresponding first section 6 to clasp and flatten the connector 10, and a second section 70, positioned at the free end of the jaw 2 (the second portion), having an element 71 designed to enter the channelling 12 of the second section 7.
  • the element 71 has a saddle configuration designed to house a flattened connector for its reopening, as shown in figures 3 and 4.
  • the element 71 can have an arched or rectangular or V-shaped saddle configuration, all of said forms being designed to constrain the connector to be reopened.
  • the first sections 6 and 60 may be excluded from the device if one wishes to produce solely a connector reopening device and use the closing devices presently available in the market.
  • the device 1 is produced in metal, in particular steel, which confers it considerable resistance to wear and allows the possibility of sterilisation given the type of use, but it could also be produced in any further materials, no matter which, as long as they are sufficiently resistant, or even, at an extremely reasonably cost, in a disposable form.
  • the device 1 in question is devised to operate, moving from a resting condition, in which it is inactive, is not used, to a first operative condition, in which a connector is inserted into the flat part of the instrument and flattened following pressing action, performed by a user, exerted on the instrument's handgrip, and to a second operative condition in which the connector, after being positioned in a specific seat present in the saddle portion of the instrument, is brought back to the initial configuration, causing the said connector to spread open in a controlled manner, once again, following a pressing action performed by the user.
  • the device in question is able to enable a simple and quick application of extensions, with a cold method, without ruining the hair either by the heat or through the use of glues, as happened in the commonly known technique.
  • the device according to this invention allows the user to both close and reopen the connectors with a single instrument in an extremely simple and safe way.
  • the extensions can be reused without requiring replacement, a practically impossible situation with the systems presently in use.
  • the difficulty of having to fit the convergent tips of the tweezers into the edges of the connector no longer exists.
  • the device according to this invention allows the use of connectors of various types and with various dimensions.
  • a further advantage of this device stems from the fact that it has limited production costs.
  • a further but not final advantage of this invention is that it has proved remarkably easy to use, simple to produce and works well.
