Abstract

The wearer's own hair and the hair to be attached are drawn together through a metal casing. After positioning, this is pressed together by squeezing tongs and thereby fixed. The squeezing tongs are metal and have a groove-shaped recess (1) in their clamp area where the metal casing is accommodated. When the tongs are closed, a stamp (2) is introduced into the recess, which deforms the metal casing so that a clamping effect is produced within it. The recess has in front of it on both sides a flat part (3), necessary for additional pressing. A threader is used comprising a plastics grip part (4) with a clamping metal screwing arrangement (5), in which a fine metal wire (6) is firmly clamped.

Beschreibung des Zubehörs: (siehe Zeichnung)Description of the accessories: (see drawing)

Klemmzange: Die Klemmzange ist ein Werkzeug aus Niro-Metall welches im Klemmbereich eine Nutförmige Ausnehmung (1) aufweißt, wo die Metallhülse aufgenommen wird. In diese Ausnehmung wird beim Schließen der Zange ein Stempel (2) eingeführt, welcher die Metallhülse so gezielt deformiert, daß ein Klemmeffekt innerhalb der Hülse stattfindet. Vor der Ausnehmung befindet sich beidseitig ein Flachteil (3), welcher für eine zusätzliche Pressung benötigt wird. Clamping pliers : The clamping pliers are a tool made of stainless steel, which has a groove-shaped recess (1) in the clamping area, where the metal sleeve is received. When the pliers are closed, a punch (2) is inserted into this recess, which deforms the metal sleeve in such a targeted manner that a clamping effect takes place inside the sleeve. In front of the recess there is a flat part (3) on both sides, which is required for additional pressing.

Metallhülse: Die Metallhülsen bestehten aus verschiedenen Metallen oder Legierungen welche für eine optimale Verformung durch Quetschung geeignet sind,Metal sleeve : The metal sleeves consist of different metals or alloys which are suitable for optimal deformation by crushing,

Einfädler: Der Einfädler besteht aus einem Plastikgriffteil (4) mit einer klemmwirkenden Metallverschraubung (5) in welcher ein feiner Metalldraht (6) festgeklemmt wird. Dieser Metalldraht hat eine U-Form (Drahtschlaufe), ist je nach Bedarf verschieden lang und wird beidseitig in der Metallverschraubung festgehalten Threader : The threader consists of a plastic handle part (4) with a clamping metal screw connection (5) in which a fine metal wire (6) is clamped. This metal wire has a U-shape (wire loop), is of different lengths as required and is held on both sides in the metal screw connection

Halteklemme: Die Halteklemme besteht aus einem flachen Unterteil aus Metall (7) welcher durch ein Gelenk (8) mit einem Drahtbügel (9), auf dem sich ein Silikonschlauch (10) befindet, verbunden ist. Der Drahtbügel rastet im geschlossenem Zustand in eine vorstehende Erhöhung (11) am Flachteil, gegenüber dem Gelenk, ein. Retaining clip : The retaining clip consists of a flat lower part made of metal (7) which is connected by a joint (8) to a wire bracket (9) on which there is a silicone hose (10) . When closed, the wire bracket engages in a protruding elevation (11) on the flat part, opposite the joint.

Arbeitsvorgang Befestigung:Fastening operation:

Das Eigenhaar wird fachgerecht durch eine handelsübliche Abteilklammer abgeteilt. Eine Haarsträhne wird aufgenommen und zusammen mit dem Fremdhaar oder Haarteil mittels der Halteklemme nahe der Kopfhaut fixiert. Über den U-förmigen Metalldraht des Einfädlers wird eine Metallhülse bis zum Anschlag aufgeschoben. Sodann wird das Eigenhaar und das zu befestigende Haar (oder Haarteil) zusammen in die Drahtschlaufe eingebracht und anschließend durch die Metallhülse gezogen. Die Metallhülse, in welcher sich nun die Haare befinden, wird in die Ausnehmung der Klemmzange eingelegt und durch Zusammendrücken vorgequetscht. Nun ist das Haar teilfixiert und die Halteklemme kann jetzt abgenommmen werden. Es besteht noch die Möglichkeit die Metallhülse zu verschieben um eine optimale Position zu erreichen. Ist die gewünschte Position festgelegt wird mit dem Flachteil der Klemmzange nun die gequetschte Hülse nochmals zusammengedruckt und dadurch erfolgt die Endfixierung.Your own hair is professionally divided by a standard compartment clip. A strand of hair is picked up and fixed together with the foreign hair or hair part by means of the holding clamp near the scalp. A metal sleeve is pushed over the U-shaped metal wire of the threader until it stops. Then the own hair and the hair to be fastened (or hair part) are introduced together into the wire loop and then pulled through the metal sleeve. The metal sleeve, in which the hair is now located, is inserted into the recess of the clamping pliers and squeezed by pressing together. Now the hair is partially fixed and the holding clip can now be removed. It is still possible to move the metal sleeve to achieve an optimal position. Once the desired position has been determined, the squeezed sleeve is then pressed together again with the flat part of the clamping pliers and the final fixation takes place.

Arbeitsvorgang Abnahme:Acceptance process:

Die gequetschte Metallhülse wird aufgebördelt und abgezogen.The crimped metal sleeve is crimped and pulled off.
