Description

HAIR ADDITION
RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent
Application Serial No. 61/224,734, filed July 10, 2009, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The disclosed subject matter is directed to hair additions, which are devices having real or synthetic hair that are worn on a user's head to complement, accent, or otherwise alter the appearance of the user's hair.
[0003] Prior art hair additions are generally constructed in ways that result in relatively thick products that do not lay very flat against the wearer's own hair or easily blend in with the user's own hair. For example, hair tufts are attached to an elastic woven fabric member or band in U.S. Pat. No. 6,830,054 and U.S. Pat. No. 1,665,380; hair tufts are attached to mesh or net material in U.S. Pat. No. 6,016,814, U.S. Pat. No. 3,520,310, and U.S. Pat. No. 1,549,334; and hair is coupled to a spring covered in cloth or webbing in U.S. Pat. No. 541,125.
SUMMARY
[0004] In one embodiment, a hair addition includes a plurality of hair strands having upper and lower ends, at least two threads coupling the hair strand upper ends together, and two layers of polyurethane sandwiching the hair strand upper ends and the at least two threads. The two layers of polyurethane form a strip, and at least one clip is coupled to the strip.
[0005] In another embodiment, a hair addition is formed by the process of aligning a plurality of hair strands, coupling an end of the hair strands together using at least one thread, sandwiching the coupled end of hair strands and the at least one thread between two layers of polyurethane, curing the two layers of polyurethane, and coupling at least one clip to the cured layers of polyurethane.
[0006] In still another embodiment, a method of forming a hair addition, includes the steps of aligning a plurality of hair strands, coupling an end of the hair strands together using at least one thread, sandwiching the coupled end of hair strands and the at least one thread between two layers of polyurethane, curing the two layers of polyurethane, and coupling at least one clip to the cured layers of polyurethane.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0007] FIG. 1 shows a set, according to an embodiment set forth herein, of five hair additions.
[0008] FIG. 2 shows a hair addition according to an embodiment.
[0009] FIG. 3a shows a front view of the hair addition depicted in FIG. 2.
[0010] FIG. 3b shows a rear view of the hair addition of FIG. 3 a.
[0011] FIG. 4 shows a hair addition according to another embodiment.
[0012] FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing a manufacturing process for a hair addition according to an embodiment.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] FIG. 1 shows a set 10, according to one embodiment, of five hair additions 100 to be worn on a user's head. Two embodiments 100a, 100b of the hair additions 100 are present in the set 10.
[0014] Turning to FIG. 2, which specifically shows embodiment 100a, each hair addition 100 has hair strands 110, at least one clip 120, at least one thread 130, and adhesive 140. The embodiment 100a has opposed ends 150a, 150b and a length of approximately four inches between the ends 150a, 150b. Further, it includes two clips 120, one at each end 150a, 150b. Three threads 130 extend across the hair strands 110 between the ends 150a, 150b to couple ends 112 of the respective hair strands 110 to one another, and the adhesive 140 is configured such that it sandwiches the ends 112 of the hair strands 110 and the threads 130 to couple the ends 112 to one another and prevent individual hair strands 110 from falling out.
[0015] The adhesive 140 forms a strip 145 between the ends 150a, 150b and may define the ends 150a, 150b. One of the threads 130 (labeled 130a) is adjacent an upper end 145a of the strip 145, one of the threads 130 (labeled 130b) is adjacent a lower end 145b of the strip 145, and one of the threads 130 (labeled 130c) extends between the upper and lower ends 145a, 145b. While the upper and lower ends 145a, 145b are represented to be linear in FIG. 2, it should be appreciated that, in practice, the upper and lower ends 145a, 145b may be jagged or otherwise nonlinear. In addition, though the threads 130 are shown to be parallel to one another, they may, in practice, be skewed and even nonlinear. While various adhesives may be appropriate, it is currently preferred to use polyurethane as the adhesive 140.
[0016] Once the adhesive 140 is cured to form the strip 145, the clips 120 may be coupled to the strip 145 in various ways. In one embodiment, one stitch (not shown) passes through one hole 122 in the clip 120 to fasten one end of the clip 120 to the strip 145, and another stitch (not shown) passes through another hole 122 in the clip 120 to fasten the other end of the clip 120 to the strip 145. Adhesive may be used to couple a central area of each clip 120 to the strip 145. To ensure that each clip 120 remains concealed during use, it may be beneficial for each clip 120 to be inset from the ends 150a, 150b, and for each clip 120 to not extend to the upper end 145a of the strip 145.
[0017] FIGs. 3a and 3b show pictures of the embodiment 100a ready for use. In use, a hair addition 100 is fastened to the wearer's hair by the clip(s) 120. The wearer's own hair may then be blended in with the hair addition 100 as desired. Due to its construction, the hair addition 100 is very thin, but the hair strands 110 are nevertheless securely retained in the hair addition 100 (e.g., in the band 145). The strip 145 may be only slightly thicker than the diameter of the hair strands 110. For example, the strip 145 may have a diameter that is no more than three times a diameter of the hair strands 110, may preferably have a diameter that is no more than two times the diameter of the hair strands 110, and may even more preferably have a diameter that is no more than 25% to 50% greater than the diameter of the hair strands 110. This thinness may allow the strip 145 to lay very flat against the wearer's own hair, causing the hair addition 100 to easily blend in with the user's own hair. The clip(s) 120 may allow the hair addition to be reused, as desired.
[0018] FIG. 4 shows the embodiment 100b of the hair addition 100. The embodiment 100b differs from the embodiment 100a in that only one clip 120 is present and that less distance (e.g., about one inch) separates the ends 150a, 150b.
[0019] It should be appreciated that other embodiments may include more clips 120 than discussed above, and that various lengths between the ends 150a, 150b may be desirable. Additionally, the hair strands 110 may be of any configuration (e.g., length, color, curliness, etc.) depending on the hair style desired by the user. As a result, a user can utilize the addition of hair strands 110 to the user's natural hair to add thickness and provide various hair styles, some of which may not be attainable, or desirable in appearance, without the hair addition(s) 100. The hair strands 110 may include one or more of synthetic hair strands or natural hair strands. For synthetic hair strands, the hair may be fabricated from a polymer fiber such as modacrylic, or the synthetic hair may be fabricated from a polymer fiber other than modacrylic, such as, for example, acrylic.
[0020] FIG. 5 illustrates a manufacturing process 500 for creating the hair additions 100. At step 502, the hair strands 110 are aligned, and at step 504 the threads 130 couple the ends 112 of the hair strands 110 together. The adhesive 140 is then added at step 506 in two layers sandwiching the ends 112 of the hair strands 110 to further couple the ends 112 together. At step 508, the adhesive 140 is cured, such that it is no longer sticky, to form the strip 145. At step 510, each clip 120 is coupled to the strip 145 formed by the adhesive 140.
[0021] Returning to FIG. 1, the set 10 includes three hair additions 110a and two hair additions 110b. This may be desirable, as the hair additions 110a may be used at a rear area of the wearer's head and the hair additions 110b may be used at the sides of the wearer's head. It should be appreciated, however, that other sets may include different numbers of various embodiment of hair additions 100. Further, hair additions 100 may be marketed and employed individually instead of as a set.
[0022] Many different arrangements of the various components depicted, as well as components not shown, are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Embodiments of the present invention have been described with the intent to be illustrative rather than restrictive. Alternative embodiments will become apparent to those skilled in the art that do not depart from its scope. A skilled artisan may develop alternative means of implementing the aforementioned improvements without departing from the scope of the present invention. Further, it will be understood that certain features and subcombinations are of utility and may be employed without reference to other features and
subcombinations and are contemplated within the scope of the claims. Further, various steps set forth herein may be carried out in orders that differ from those set forth herein without departing from the scope of the present methods. The description should not be restricted to the above embodiments, but should be measured by the claims.
