Abstract

The strip consists of hairs (1), which are connected at a set distance from both ends by strip (2) of a cast thermoplastic material. Projecting ends are cut off after the plastic has set. In addition, the hair may be sewn together using a thread (3) of pref. the same material. Fastening loops (4) or similar are connected to the plastic strip after the ends have been cut off.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Haarstreifens, bei dem nebeneinander liegende Haare durch Aufschmelzen und Erkalten eines thermoplastischen Kunststoffes streifenförmig miteinander verbunden werden.The invention relates to a method for producing a hair strip, in which adjacent hair by melting and cooling a thermoplastic Plastic are connected together in strips.

Ein derartiges Verfahren ist durch die DE 94 11 835 U1 bekanntgeworden. Gemäß dieser wird der bzw. werden die Kunststoffstreifen an einem Ende der Haare angebracht und durch Erwärmen sowie Abkühlen mit diesen verklebt. Von den so gefertigten Haarstreifen werden bei der Applikation auf einem menschlichen Kopf zwecks Verlängerung oder Verdichtung des Kopfhaares einzelne Büschel abgetrennt und an geeigneter Stelle an das Kopfhaar durch Aufschmelzen und Abkühlen des Kunststoffes angeklebt.Such a method has become known from DE 94 11 835 U1. According to this the plastic strips are attached to one end of the hair and glued to them by heating and cooling. From the hair strips made in this way are applied to a human head for the purpose of extension or Compression of the head hair separate tufts and at a suitable point on the Head hair stuck on by melting and cooling the plastic.

In der Praxis hat sich herausgestellt, daß die einzelnen Haare in den so gefertigten Haarstreifen unterschiedlichen Halt haben, d.h., daß die Einbettung in den und Verklebung mit dem Kunststoff nicht für alle Haare gleich gut ist. Dies hat zur Folge, daß sich beim Kämmen von am Kopfhaar angebrachten Haarersatzteilen manche Ersatzhaare nach kurzer Zeit lösen. Zur Gewährleistung einer besseren Haftung der Ersatzhaare ist auch schon vorgeschlagen worden (DE 19 62 61 07 A1), die Ersatzhaarbüschel durch ein flaches thermoplastisches Blättchen zu verkleben, das beim Erhitzen biegsam wird und so um die betreffende Haargruppe des Kopfhaares herumgelegt und geschlossen werden kann.In practice it has been found that the individual hairs in the so-made Hair strips have different hold, i.e. that the embedding in and gluing with the plastic is not equally good for all hair. This has the consequence that the Combing hair replacement parts attached to the hair of the head after some short replacement hairs Solve time. To ensure better adhesion of the replacement hair is also already have been proposed (DE 19 62 61 07 A1), the replacement hair tufts by a flat to stick thermoplastic leaflets that become flexible when heated and so around the concerned hair group of the head hair can be put around and closed.

Obzwar diese Maßnahme eine Verbesserung gebracht hat, konnte dadurch doch nicht ein gelegentliches Auskämmen von Ersatzhaaren verhindert werden.Although this measure brought an improvement, it was not able to do so occasional combing out of replacement hair can be prevented.

Ziel der Erfindung ist es, die Haftung von Ersatzhaaren in für die Applikation am Kopfhaar geeigneten Haarstreifen zu verbessern.The aim of the invention is to ensure that replacement hair adheres to the hair on the head to improve suitable hair strips.

Dieses Ziel wird mit dem eingangs genannten Verfahren erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß die Haare in einem vorbestimmten Abstand von einem ihrer beiden Enden durch Aufgießen eines Kunststoffstreifens miteinander verbunden und die überstehenden Enden nach Verfestigung des Kunststoffes abgeschnitten werden. This is achieved according to the invention with the method mentioned at the outset achieved that the hair a predetermined distance from one of its two ends connected by pouring a plastic strip and the protruding The ends are cut off after the plastic has solidified.

Es wurde gefunden, daß bei den bekannten Methoden der Verklebung von Ersatzhaaren bloß an ihren Enden eine einwandfreie Einbettung jedes einzelnen Haares in den Kunststoff nicht gewährleistet werden kann. Aus diesem Grund wird der Kunststoffstreifen erfindungsgemäß in einem Abstand (1 - 2 cm) vom Haarende angebracht, und zwar nicht durch Auflegen, Aufschmelzen und Erhärten, sondern durch Aufgießen und Erhärten. Damit wird eine allseitige Umhüllung und Verklebung jedes einzelnen Haares sichergestellt. Die überstehenden Haarenden müssen danach abgeschnitten werden. Dieser gegenüber dem Stand der Technik größere Verfahrensaufwand wird durch die Beständigkeit der Haftung der Haare wettgemacht.It has been found that in the known methods of gluing replacement hair only at their ends a perfect embedding of every single hair in the Plastic cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, the plastic strip according to the invention at a distance (1 - 2 cm) from the hair end, and not by laying on, melting and hardening, but by pouring and hardening. This means that all hair is wrapped and glued on all sides ensured. The excess hair ends must then be cut off. This Compared to the prior art, the process is more complex Resistance to hair adhesion compensated.

Zur weiteren Sicherung des Haltes der Ersatzhaare empfiehlt es sich, die Haare im Bereich des Kunststoffstreifens wahlweise vor oder nach dessen Aufgießen zusätzlich durch Vernähen mit einem vorzugsweise aus demselben Material bestehenden Faden zu verbinden. Sofern der Faden aus demselben Thermoplast besteht, tritt der zusätzliche Vorteil auf, daß beim Verbinden des Haarersatzteiles durch thermoplastisches Verkleben mit dem Kopfhaar eine noch innigere Verbindung bzw. Verschmelzung des Fadens mit dem Kunststoffstreifen und den Haaren erfolgt.To further secure the hold of the replacement hair, it is recommended to keep the hair in the area the plastic strip either before or after it is poured on Sew with a thread, preferably made of the same material connect. If the thread consists of the same thermoplastic, the additional occurs Advantage on that when connecting the hair replacement part by thermoplastic gluing with the head hair an even closer connection or fusion of the thread with the plastic strip and the hair.

Da es manchmal günstiger sein kann, den Haarstreifen nicht durch thermoplastisches Verkleben mit dem Kopfhaar zu verbinden, z.B. dann, wenn dadurch keine sichere Haftung zu erwarten ist, können an dem Kunststoffstreifen nach dem Abschneiden der überstehenden Haarenden Befestigungsschlaufen, -laschen, -ösen od.dgl. angebracht werden. Mit diesen Schlaufen od.dgl. kann der Haarersatzteil in herkömmlicher Weise durch Vernähen mit einem normalen Faden oder einem Klebefaden mit dem Kopfhaar verbunden werden.Since it can sometimes be cheaper, the hair strip is not thermoplastic To bond glue to the head hair, e.g. then if it does not make it safe Adhesion is expected to be possible after cutting off the plastic strip protruding hair ends fastening loops, tabs, eyelets or the like. appropriate become. With these loops or the like. can the hair replacement part in a conventional manner by sewing with a normal thread or an adhesive thread with the head hair get connected.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wird im folgenden anhand eines in der Zeichnung veranschaulichten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert. Es zeigen Fig. 1 einen erfindungsgemäßen Haarstreifen nach Aufgießen des Kunststoffstreifens, Fig. 2 diesen Haarstreifen nach zusätzlichem Vernähen, Fig. 3 denselben Haarstreifen nach Abschneiden der überstehenden Haarenden, Fig. 4 den Haarstreifen nach Anbringen von Befestigungsschlaufen und Fig. 5 schematisch das Annähen des erfindungsgemäßen Haarstreifens gemäß Fig. 4.The method according to the invention is described below using one in the drawing illustrated embodiment explained in more detail. 1 shows a hair strips according to the invention after pouring the plastic strip, Fig. 2 this Hair strips after additional sewing, Fig. 3 the same hair strip after Cutting off the protruding hair ends, Fig. 4 the hair strip after attaching Attachment loops and Fig. 5 schematically the sewing of the invention 4.

Zur Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Haarstreifens werden die Haare 1 parallel angeordnet und in einem Abstand von einem ihrer Enden in einen thermoplastischen Kunststoffstreifen 2 durch Gießen eingebettet (Fig. 1). Danach - oder davor - können sie zusätzlich mit einem Faden 3, der beispielsweise aus demselben Thermoplast bestehen kann, vernäht werden (Fig. 2). Nach dem Abschneiden der überstehenden Haarenden (Fig. 3) ist der Haarstreifen an sich zur Applikation durch direktes Vernähen oder Verkleben bereit. Falls gewünscht, können am Kunststoffstreifen 2 noch Befestigungsschlaufen 4 angebracht werden (Fig. 4), mit deren Hilfe ein Vernähen, etwa mit einem Klebefaden 5 (z.B. gemäß der AT 405 710 B), mit dem Kopfhaar bzw. weiteren Haarersatzteilen möglich ist.To produce the hair strip according to the invention, the hair 1 is parallel arranged and spaced from one of its ends in a thermoplastic Plastic strips 2 embedded by casting (Fig. 1). Afterwards - or before - they can additionally with a thread 3, which consist for example of the same thermoplastic can be sewn (Fig. 2). After cutting off the excess hair ends (Fig. 3) The hair strip is in itself for application by direct sewing or gluing ready. If desired, fastening loops 4 can still be attached to the plastic strip 2 are attached (Fig. 4), with the help of sewing, for example with an adhesive thread 5th (e.g. according to AT 405 710 B), with the head hair or other hair replacement parts is possible.
