Abstract

A hair wrapping device and method which includes a housing and a motor contained within the housing. A cover is rotatably mounted to the housing and is driven by the motor. A spool for receiving cord is freely rotatable independently of the cover. The cord is held for rotation with the cover. The cover has an aperture to thread a lock of hair and the cord therethrough. Rotation of the cover by the motor causes rotation of the cord around the lock of hair, thereby wrapping the hair with the cord.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 14 May 2003 (14.05.03);Original claims 1, 31 amended; new claims 19-20, 34-35 added; remaining claims unchanged (5 pages)]
1. A hair wrapping device, comprising: a hand-held housing; a spool adapted to receive a wound cord around; and a rotatable cover removably mountable on said hand-held housing to cover said spool, said rotatable cover being adapted to receive and restrain the cord for rotation with said cover, said cover having an aperture defined therein for receiving hair and the cord therethrough, said spool being mounted for rotatable movement relative to said cover so that rotation of said cover wraps said cord around the hair as the hand-held housing is moved relative to the hair.
2. The hair wrapping device according to claim 1 , further comprising a motor for rotating said cover.
3. The hair wrapping device according to claim 2, wherein said motor is a reversible motor,
4. The hair wrapping device according to claim 1. wherein said spool is independently rotatable relative to rotational movement of said cover.
5. The hair wrapping device according to claim 1 , wherein said cover has a sleeve disposed about the aperture, said spool being supported by said sleeve so as to be independently rotatable relative to rotational movement of said cover.
6. The hair wrapping device according to claim 2, further comprising at least one gear driven by said motor to rotate said cover.
7. The hair wrapping device according to claim 1 , wherein said cover has a top, the aperture being defined in the top of said cover.
8. The hair wrapping device according to claim 7, wherein the aperture is tapered in shape, the aperture being disposed with its widest portion farthest away from the center of said cover for receiving the lock of hair and its narrowest portion disposed towards the center of said cover for holding the lock of hair in the said cover.
9. The hair wrapping device according to claim 8, wherein said cover has an opening defined therein for receiving the cord as it exits from said cover.
10. The hair wrapping device according to claim 9, wherein the opening is disposed opposite the narrow portion of the aperture.
11. The hair wrapping device according to claim 1 , wherein the aperture is triangular shape.
12. The hair wrapping device according to claim 7, wherein the aperture is substantially triangular in shape having a rounded apex disposed substantially centered in the top of said cover,
13. The hair wrapping device according to claim 1 , further comprising a mechanism for manually rotating said spool in a forwards or reverse direction for adjustment of the cord around the hair.
14. The hair wrapping device according to claim 1 , further comprising a tensioner holding said spool against rotation at a predetermined tension.
15. The hair wrapping device according to claim 14, wherein said tensioner comprises at least one leg having a first end and a second end, said leg being pivotally mounted to said cover at said first end and connected to a spring at said second end, said spring resiliently retaining said leg against said spool.
16. The hair wrapping device according to claim 14, wherein said tensioner comprises at least two legs, each leg being pivotally mounted to said cover at
17 said first end and joined together by said spring extending between said second ends, said spool being held between said legs,
17. The hair wrapping device according to claim 1 , further comprising a threader adapted to receive the hair and the cord, the threader being adapted to be received through the aperture defined in said cover,
18. The hair wrapping device according tα claim 1 , wherein said cover and spool are arranged so that the cord is wrapped around the hair outwardly from said hair wrapping device in full view.
19. The hair wrapping device according to claim 1 , wherein said spool is mounted to said rotatable cover, wherein said spool is mounted for coaxial rotatable movement relative to said cover.
20. The hair wrapping device according to claim 19, wherein said spool is mounted to said rotatable cover.
21. A method of wrapping hair with a cord using a hand-held hair wrapping device including a spool adapted to receive the wound cord around, and a rotatable cover adapted to receive and restrain the cord for rotation with said cover, said cover having an aperture defined therein for receiving the hair and the cord therethrough, comprising the steps of: securing the cord for rotation with said cover; threading the hair and the cord through the aperture defined in said cover; rotating said cover so as to wrap the cord around a portion of the hair; and moving said hand-held wrapping device along the hair to wrap the cord around additional portions of the hair.
22. The method according to claim 21 , wherein said cover and spool are arranged so that the cord is wrapped around the hair outwardly from said hair wrapping device in full view.
18
23. The method according to claim 21 , wherein said rotating step comprises driving at least one gear via a motor to rotate said cover.
24. The method according to claim 23 , wherein the motor is a reversible motor.
25. The method according to claim 24 , further comprising the step of at least partially unwrapping the cord from the hair by means of said reversible motor.
26. The method according to claim 21 , wherein the hair wrapping device includes a manual adjustment mechanism.
27. The method according to claim 25 , further comprising the step of manually adjusting the wrapping of the cord around the hair by means of said manual adjustment mechanism.
28. The method according to claim 21 , wherein said securing step further comprises retaining said spool against rotation at a predetermined tension to impart tension to said cord.
29. The method according to claim 21 , wherein said cover has a top and the aperture is defined in the top of said cover.
30. The method according to claim 29 , wherein the aperture is tapered in shape, the aperture being disposed with its widest portion farthest away from the center of the cover for receiving the lock of hair and its narrowest portion disposed towards the center of said cover for holding the Sock of hair in the said cover.
31. The method according to claim 30 , wherein said threading step comprises the steps of:
19 inserting the hair and the cord into the widest portion of the aperture; and moving the hair and the cord into the narrowest portion of the aperture so as to hold the hair in said cover.
32. The method according to claim 21 , wherein said threading step comprises the steps of: receiving the hair and the cord through a threader; and passing the hair, the cord, and the threader through the aperture defined in said cover,
33. A hair wrapping device, comprising: a hand-held housing; a spool adapted to receive a wound cord around; and a rotatable cover removably mountable on said hand-held to cover said spool, said rotatable cover being adapted to receive and restrain the cord for rotation with said cover, said cover having an aperture defined therein for receiving hair and the cord therethrough, said spool being mounted for independent rotatable movement relative to said cover so that rotation of said cover wraps said cord around the hair as the hand-held housing is moved relative to the hair; a motor for driving at least one gear to rotate said cover; and a tensioner holding said spool against rotation at a predetermined tension.
34. The hair wrapping device according to claim 33, wherein said spool is mounted for coaxial rotational movement relative to said cover.
