Description

HAIR PIECE WITH INTEGRATED SECURING MECHANISM

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to German Utility Model Application No. 20 2010 000 513.2 entitled "Haarersatz mit integrierter Sicherungseinrichtung", filed on March 31, 2010, now registered.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a hair piece comprising a foundation, hairs attached to the foundation, and at least one securing mechanism for securing the hair piece to the natural hairs of a bearer. Particularly, the hair piece is a two-dimensional hair piece, which may also be designated as a toupee.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A hair piece comprising a foundation, hairs attached to the foundation and at least one securing mechanism for securing the hair piece to the natural hairs of a bearer is known from European Patent Application Publication EP 0 997 079 Al. Here, the securing mechanism consists of two-part securing elements. One of these two parts of each securing element is adhesive at both faces, and, with its outer face, stuck from beneath on the boundary area of the foundation. The other part which is hinged to the one part comprises several slots for pulling through natural hairs of the bearer of the hair piece, which are glued between both parts of the securing element beneath the foundation to secure the hair piece. The multi-layer construction of this known hair piece in the area of its securing elements proves to be disadvantageous because of its thickness.

Another hair piece comprising a foundation, hairs attached to the foundation and at least one securing mechanism for securing the hair piece to the natural hairs of a bearer is known from International Patent Application Publication WO 2008/000363 Al. Here, the securing mechanism is integrated in the boundary area of the foundation which allows for a flat construction and a non-obvious application of the hair piece. To the end of securing this known hair piece, several sections of hair band, which are separate parts here, are to be glued on one of several adhesive areas in a correct allocation.

There still is a need of a hair piece which retains the advantages of the hair piece known from WO 2008/000363 Al, but which may be attached to the natural hair of its bearer even more easily.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to a hair piece comprising a foundation having a circumference and a boundary area extending along the circumference; hairs attached to the foundation; and at least one securing mechanism for securing the hair piece to natural hairs of its bearer. The at least one securing mechanism comprises at least one slot in the boundary area of the foundation, which extends over a distance along the circumference of the foundation and ends in boundary area of the foundation in both directions; an adhesive surface extending from the at least one slot towards the circumference of the foundation, hairs being attached to the foundation next to the adhesive surface in both directions of the circumference; and a section of self-adhesive hair band having an adhesive back configured to be glued to hairs of the bearer pulled through the slot and pressed against the adhesive surface.
The section of self-adhesive hair band is permanently connected to the boundary area of the foundation at that side of the slot opposite to the adhesive surface.
In a more detailed aspect, the present invention relates to a hair piece comprising a foundation having a circumference, a boundary area extending along the circumference, which is reinforced by a flat plastic material, and a net with hairs attached; and a plurality of securing mechanisms arranged along the circumference of the foundation for securing the hair piece to natural hairs of its bearer. Each securing mechanism comprises at least one slot in the boundary area of the foundation, which extends over a distance along the circumference of the foundation through the plastic material and ends in the plastic material at both ends; two cuts in the net of the foundation, each beginning at the circumference of the foundation and extending towards one of the ends of the at least one slot, the flat plastic material reinforcing the boundary of the foundation remaining uncut; an adhesive surface prepared on the flat plastic material in an area between the cuts, and extending laterally from the at least one slot towards the circumference of the net foundation, parts of the net with the hairs being fixed to the flat plastic material next to the adhesive surface in both directions of the circumference;
and a section of the net with hairs, which extends between the two cuts and which is permanently connected to the boundary area of the foundation at that side of the slot opposite to the adhesive surface, being provided with an adhesive back opposing the adhesive surface.

Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to one with skill in the art upon examination of the following drawings and the detailed description. It is intended that all such additional features and advantages be included herein within the scope of the present invention, as defined by the claims.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The invention can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present invention. In the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
Fig. 1 is a sketch of a new hair piece in a view from beneath;

Fig. 2 shows sketches a plane view onto an adhesive surface and an adjacent section of a hair band in the new hair piece; and Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the same parts depicted in Fig. 2.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the new hair piece, the hair band, which is to be glued to the hairs of the bearer pulled through the slot and pressed against the adhesive surface, is permanently attached to the foundation in the boundary area of the foundation at that side of the slot opposing the adhesive surface. Thus, there is an unambiguous allocation of the hair band to the adhesive surface.

Mixing up different sections of hair band which are belonging to the adhesive surfaces in different positions in the boundary area of the foundation is thus avoided.
Additionally, the section of the hair band is automatically correctly positioned with regard to the adhesive surface so that securing the new hair piece may easily be accomplished by a single person, i.e. without the help of an auxiliary person.

Particularly, a net foundation provided with hairs may be provided in the new hair piece, which is cut from the circumference of the foundation next to the adhesive surface in both directions of the circumference of the foundation, the self-adhesive hair band being made of the section of the net foundation between the two cuts. Thus, all hairs of the new hair piece may be provided by a single net foundation provided with hairs, actually inclusive of the hairs of each section of hair band. This also means that no area of the net foundation is to be removed above the adhesive surfaces and to be possibly discarded. Instead, these sections of the net foundation arranged above the adhesive surfaces are each particularly used to make one section of the hair band to be glued to the respective adhesive surface.
The net foundation may be reinforced in the closed loop boundary area of the foundation. This may be achieved in that a flat material is glued under the net foundation in the closed loop boundary area, the gluing not including the sections of the net foundation between its cuts next to the adhesive surfaces. Instead, beneath these sections, the adhesive surfaces of the hair piece are formed. The adjacent slots in the boundary area of the foundation may also be cut only after gluing the flat material to the boundary area of the net foundation.

As already mentioned and as a rule, several slots, adhesive surfaces and associated sections of hair band are arranged along the circumference of the foundation in the new hair piece. These slots, adhesive surfaces and sections of hair band are preferably uniformly distributed over the circumference of the foundation. Further, it is preferred that the sum of the length of the slots along the circumference is at least as high as half of the circumference of the foundation. For example, the slots may extend over about two thirds of the circumference of the foundation, so that the new hair piece is secured via as much hair of the bearer as possible and as broadly distributed hair of the bearer as possible.

The adhesive surface of the new hair piece is preferably also self-adhesive like the self-adhesive hair band, and it is further preferably also initially covered with a removable protection foil like the self-adhesive hair band. In use of the new hair piece, typically, at first the protection foil covering the adhesive surface is removed to glue the hairs of the bearer of the hair piece pulled through the adjacent slot to the adhesive surface, before the protection layer is also removed from the section of the hair band to glue the hair band to the hairs glued to the adhesive surface.

A high-value hair piece is suitable for a long use, i.e. for several times of securing it to the hairs of its bearer. Thus, it is preferred that the glue layers of the adhesive surface and the self-adhesive hair band are renewable. To this end, they may be made of flat glue strips adhesive at both faces which can be removed with the aid of alcohol or other organic solvents and which can afterwards be replaced by a new flat glue strip.
Referring now in greater detail to the drawings, the hair piece 1 schematically depicted in Fig. 1 from beneath and having a circumference 7 is based on a net foundation 3 provided with hairs 2. In its boundary area 4, the net foundation 3 is reinforced with a flat material 5 which is stuck from beneath on the net foundation 3, and in which slots 6 are provided, which each extend over a distance along the circumference 7. Adjacent to each slot 6 and towards the circumference 7, an adhesive surface 8 is provided on top of the flat material 5, which are not directly visible here.
This adhesive surface 8 may be seen in more detail from the further figures.

Fig. 2 and 3 show one of the adhesive surfaces 8. This adhesive surface 8 is formed by a flat glue strip 9 on the flat material 5 along one of the slots 6. At both ends of the adhesive surface 8 the net foundation 3 is cut so that a section 10 of hair band is formed which, however, is still connected to the remainder of the net foundation 3 in parallel to the slot 6.
At its underside, the section 10 is also provided with a flat glue strip 9. Both flat glue strips 9 are at first covered with cover foils (not depicted). As soon as these cover foils are removed, both the section 10 and the adhesive surface 8 are self-adhesive. To the end of securing the hair piece 1, the natural hairs of the bearer of the hair piece 1 are pulled through the slot 6 and glued to the adhesive surface 8, after at first removing the respective protection foil. Then the section 10, after removing its protection layer, is glued to the hairs already glued to the adhesive surface 8.

Many variations and modifications may be made to the preferred embodiments of the invention without departing substantially from the spirit and principles of the invention. All such modifications and variations are intended to be included herein within the scope of the present invention, as defined by the following claims.
