Hairpiece
Abstract
The present invention relates to a band-type hairpiece. Nipping
parts are formed through pressing in an upper resilient side of a
base frame of a wig clip, and at the same time, a tip of each of
the nipping parts is constructed to be caught by two adjacent knots
of sewing thread with which strands of false hair are sewn. Thus,
the amount of resilient steel sheet consumed for fabricating a wig
clip is reduced and the wig clip is prevented from coming out from
the false hair. Alternatively, roll-fitting parts are formed
through pressing in an upper resilient side of a base frame of a
wig clip, and an end of a bundle of false hair of the roll-type
hairpiece, which is fixed using an adhesive, is fixedly fitted into
each of the roll-fitting parts. Thus, an operation for connecting
the roll-type hairpiece to user's hair is simplified and a user who
intends to use a roll-type hairpiece can fix the roll-type
hairpiece to his/her own hair by himself/herself, whereby he/she
can connect the roll-type hairpiece to his/her hair without going
to a beauty salon or receiving help from other people.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a hairpiece used for a
partial wig, and more particularly, to a hairpiece which can be
constructed to be easily attached and detached and also be easily
manufactured at low production costs.
[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art
[0004] Generally, hairpieces are roughly classified into band-type
hairpieces and roll-type hairpieces according to their shape.
[0005] Band-type hairpieces are made in the form of a band by
arranging a plurality of strands of false hair chemically processed
and tying them with sewing thread using a sewing machine while
forming knots at predetermined intervals. Portions thereof tied
with the sewing thread form an attachment end that will be attached
to a user's head. The attachment end may be lined with a wig base
made of cloth by means of sewing thread using a sewing machine.
[0006] On the other hand, roll-type hairpieces are made in the form
of a roll by extracting a bundle of false hair chemically
processed, arranging the false hair with respective ends thereof
aligned with one another, and fixing the ends using an
adhesive.
[0007] In band-type hairpieces, strands of false hair are cut to a
predetermined length by a worker and a clip is attached thereto. To
attach the clip to the hairpiece in the prior art, attachment holes
are formed at both lateral ends of the clip which in turn is sewed
on the attachment end of the hairpiece or the wig base in such a
manner that the worker manually passes thread through the
attachment holes one by one. Thus, there are problems of cumbersome
work and lowered productivity.
[0008] To solve these problems, Japanese Patent Laid-Open
Publication No. 2001-329422 (published on Nov. 27, 2001) discloses
a wig clip and a wig with the clip, wherein nipping parts 3 are
formed to protrude from a lower resilient side 22 of two opposite
longitudinal resilient sides 21 and 22 of a base frame 2 of a wig
clip 1 and to be inserted between wig bases 6 and 7 and a nipped
portion 8 installed inside of the wig bases 6 and 7.
[0009] When it is intended to fix the wig clip 1 to user's hair, a
user holds and presses both sides of the wig clip 1 with his/her
both hands such that a plurality of hair-fixing pins 4 are spread
while being spaced apart from the lower resilient side 22.
Thereafter, distal ends of the plurality of hair-fixing pins 4 are
caused to be slid from above to below the user's hair so that
strands of hair are fitted between the hair-fixing pins 4, and the
wig clip 1 is then pressed in an opposite direction. Then, the
distal ends of the hair-fixing pins 4 between which the user's
strands of hair are fitted are brought into contact with the lower
resilient side 22 and the hair-fixing pins 4 come together so that
the user's strands of hair are fixed therebetween.
[0010] Here, one of the two longitudinal opposite resilient sides
21 and 22 of the base frame 2 of the wig clip 1, which forms a base
end of the hair-fixing pins 4, is referred to as an upper resilient
side 21, whereas the other of the resilient sides with which the
distal ends of the hair-fixing pins 4 are in contact is referred to
as the lower resilient side 22.
[0011] However, since the nipping parts 3 of the wig clip disclosed
in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2001-329422 protrude
from the lower resilient side 22 of the base frame 2 and are then
bent by 180 degrees to extend toward the upper resilient side,
there is a problem in that upon pressing a resilient steel sheet to
fabricate one wig clip 1, the amount of resilient steel sheet
consumed increases in proportion to the lengths of the elongated
nipping parts 3.
[0012] Moreover, since the nipping parts 3 of the wig clip
disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2001-329422
have simply sharp tips 3a, there is a problem in that if a wig is
inadvertently pulled in a direction in which the nipping parts 3
extend, the nipping parts 3 come out from the wig bases 6 and 7 and
thus the wig clip 1 comes out from the wig. To prevent this, in the
wig clip disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No.
2001-329422, auxiliary nipping parts 5 protrude from the upper
resilient sides 21 of the base frame 2 of the wig clip 1 and are
then bent by 180 degrees to extend toward the lower resilient side.
However, in order for a worker to fit the auxiliary nipping parts 5
into the wig bases 6 and 7 in a state where the nipping parts 3
have been fitted into the wig bases 6 and 7, the user should unfold
the auxiliary nipping parts 5 by 90 degrees, fit them into the wig
bases 6 and 7 and fold the auxiliary nipping parts 5 again. Thus,
the work is cumbersome. Further, there is a problem in that upon
pressing a resilient steel sheet to fabricate one wig clip 1, the
amount of resilient steel sheet consumed greatly increases in
proportion to the lengths of the elongated auxiliary nipping parts
5 in addition to the lengths of the elongated nipping parts 3.
[0013] Meanwhile, as for the roll-type hairpiece, ends of bundles
of false hair secured using an adhesive are fixed to user's hair.
In the prior art, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,107,867, false
hair is fixed to user's hair using a thermally shrinkable tube 30.
A plastically deformable ring made of tin has been also used
instead of such a thermally shrinkable tube. However, the use of
the thermally shrinkable tube or tin ring has a problem in that
both user's hair and false hair of the roll-type hairpiece should
be fitted into a small hole of the thermally shrinkable tube or tin
ring, leading to cumbersome work. Thus, there is a problem in that
a user who intends to use the roll-type hairpiece cannot fix the
roll-type hairpiece to his/her own hair by himself/herself and
should go to a beauty salon or receive help from other people.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0014] An object of the present invention is to provide a band-type
hairpiece, wherein nipping parts are formed through pressing in an
upper resilient side of a base frame of a wig clip attached to the

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0037] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a hairpiece according
to the present invention will be described with reference to the
accompanying drawings.
[0038] A band-type hairpiece of an embodiment of the present
invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 7.
[0039] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a plurality of strands of false
hair 1 chemically processed are aligned with one another and then
tied with sewing thread 3 using a sewing machine while knots 5 are
formed at predetermined intervals, whereby an attachment end 7 is
formed and the shape of a band is obtained.
[0040] FIG. 1 shows a wig clip 100 to be attached to the attachment
end 7 of the false hair 1.
[0041] Referring to FIG. 1, the wig clip 100 comprises opposite
longitudinal upper and lower resilient sides 103 and 105 of a base
frame 101, both lateral resilient sides 104 and 106 between the
upper and lower resilient sides 103 and 105, and a hair-fixing pin
107.
[0042] The wig clip 100 attached to the attachment end 7 of the
false hair 1 is connected to user's hair.
[0043] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, in the upper resilient
side 103 of the opposite longitudinal upper and lower resilient
sides 103 and 105 of the base frame 101 of the wig clip 100, which
is formed with a base end of the hair-fixing pin 107, a plurality
of nipping parts 109 with sharp tips 111 are formed through
pressing at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction
of the upper resilient side 103.
[0044] Such nipping parts 109 are formed through pressing such that
portions except their base ends are cut to be spaced apart from the
upper resilient side 103.
[0045] Here, the nipping parts 109 are formed such that their tips
111 are directed to the top of the upper resilient side 103.
[0046] A slant catching step 111a is formed at any one of both
sides of the tip of each nipping part 109. As can be well seen from
FIGS. 6 and 7, such a slant catching step 111a is sized to
penetrate between two adjacent knots 5 and be caught by the two
knots 5.
[0047] That is, it is preferred that a ratio of the maximum width
of the tip 111 including the slant catching step 111a to spacing
between two adjacent knots 5 be 1.1.about.1.3:1.
[0048] If the maximum width of the tip 111 including the slant
catching step 111a is equal to or slightly greater than the spacing
between two adjacent knots 5, when the catching step 111a of the
nipping part 109 is fitted between the two adjacent knots 5, the
spacing between the knots 5 is instantaneously increased due to the
maximum width of the tip 111 larger than the spacing of the two
knots 5 and the catching step 111a passes between the two knots 5.
After the catching step 111a of the nipping part 109 has passed
between the two knots 5, the spacing between the knots 5 is
decreased so that the catching step 111a of the nipping part 109
can be caught by the two knots 5.
[0049] Since the catching step 111a of the nipping part 109 fitted
into the attachment end 7 of the false hair 1 is caught by the two
adjacent knots 5, the nipping part 109 is prevented from coming out
from the attachment end 7 of the false hair 1.
[0050] A shown in FIG. 2, the portion of the nipping part 109
except its base end can be formed through pressing to be at a
certain angle with respect to the upper resilient side 103.
[0051] Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 3, the portion of the nipping
part 109 except its base end may be formed through pressing such
that a section thereof adjacent to the based end is rounded to be
horizontal with respect to the upper resilient side 103.
[0052] Although FIG. 1 shows that the tip 111 including the slant
catching steps 111a is in the form of an arrow with protrusions at
both sides thereof, the tip 111 including the slant catching step
111a may be in the form of a barb with a protrusion at one side
thereof as shown in FIG. 4.
[0053] A roll-type hairpiece according to another embodiment of the
present invention is shown in FIGS. 8 to 14.
[0054] As shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of false hair 1 chemically
processed are extracted on a bundle basis and their ends are
aligned and fixed with an adhesive to be in the form of a roll.
[0055] FIG. 8 shows a wig clip 200 to which an end 1a of the bundle
of false hair 1 is fixed.
[0056] Referring to FIG. 8, the wig clip 200 comprises opposite
longitudinal upper and lower resilient sides 203 and 205 of a base
frame 201, both lateral resilient sides 204 and 206 between the
upper and lower resilient sides 203 and 205, and a hair-fixing pin
207.
[0057] The wig clip 200 allows the end 1a of the bundle of the
false hair 1 to be fixed thereto and then be connected to user's
hair.
[0058] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, in the upper resilient
side 203 of the opposite longitudinal upper and lower resilient
sides 203 and 205 of the base frame 201 of the wig clip 200, which
is formed with a base end of the hair-fixing pin 207, a plurality
of roll-fitting parts 209 with semi-circular cross sections are
formed through pressing at predetermined intervals in the
longitudinal direction of the upper resilient side 203.
[0059] Such roll-fitting parts 209 are formed through pressing such
that portions except their base ends are cut to be spaced apart
from the upper resilient side 203.
[0060] Here, the roll-fitting parts 209 are formed such that their
trailing ends are oriented in the longitudinal direction of the
upper resilient sides 203.
[0061] FIGS. 9 and 10 show the process of fixing the end 1a of the
bundle of false hair 1 to one of the roll-fitting parts 209.
[0062] The end 1a of the bundle of false hair 1 is fitted into the
roll-fitting part 209 shown in FIG. 9, and the roll-fitting part
209 is then pressed. At this time, the roll-fitting part 209 is
crushed to fix the end 1a of the bundle of false hair 1, as shown
in FIG. 10.
[0063] FIGS. 11 to 14 show another variation of the roll-type
hairpiece, wherein a holding bar is installed on an upper resilient
side of a wig clip.
[0064] In the variation shown in FIG. 11, the wig clip 300
comprises opposite longitudinal upper and lower resilient sides 303
and 305 of a base frame 301, both lateral resilient sides 304 and
306 between the upper and lower resilient sides 303 and 305, and a
hair-fixing pin 307.
[0065] In the variation shown in FIG. 11, in the upper resilient
side 303 of the opposite longitudinal upper and lower resilient
sides 303 and 305 of the base frame 301 of the wig clip 300, which
is formed with a base end of the hair-fixing pin 307, a plurality
of roll-fitting recesses 309 with trapezoidal cross sections are
formed through pressing at predetermined intervals in the
longitudinal direction of the upper resilient side 303.
[0066] The holding bar 310 is installed through revetting on the
upper resilient side 303 to be in close contact therewith.
[0067] Further, the holding bar 310 is formed with a plurality of
bosses 311 with M-shaped cross sections at positions corresponding
to the plurality of roll-fitting recesses 309.
[0068] Here, the roll-fitting recesses 309 and the bosses 311 are
formed to be oriented in a width direction of the upper resilient
side 303.
[0069] FIGS. 12 to 14 show the process of fixing the ends 1a of the
bundles of false hair 1 between the roll-fitting recesses 309 and
the bosses 311.
[0070] The upper resilient side 303 is raised from the state shown
in FIG. 12 to define a space between the roll-fitting recesses 309
and the bosses 311 as shown in FIG. 13. The ends 1a of the bundles
of false hairs 1 are then interposed between the roll-fitting
recesses 309 and the bosses 311, respectively. Thereafter, the
upper resilient side 303 is pressed down to fix the ends 1a of the
bundles of false hair 1 between the roll-fitting recesses 309 and
the bosses 311.
[0071] FIGS. 15 to 17 show a further variation of the present
invention.
[0072] Although FIGS. 15 to 17 are illustrated by way of example in
connection with the wig clip 100 of the embodiment of FIG. 1, it
will be understood that the structure shown in FIGS. 15 to 17 can
be equally applied to the wig clips 200 and 300 shown in FIGS. 8
and 11, respectively.
[0073] In the variation of FIG. 15, outwardly protruding pieces 113
are formed integrally with and at intermediate portions of lateral
resilient sides 104 and 106 between the opposite longitudinal upper
and lower resilient sides 103 and 105 of the base frame 101 of the
wig clip 100.
[0074] One of the protruding pieces 113 is formed with a
through-hole 113a at the center thereof, whereas the other of the
protruding pieces 113 is formed with a spherical protrusion 113b at
the center thereof.
[0075] As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, a protrusion 113b of one wig
clip 100 is press-fitted into a through-hole 113a of another wig
clip 100' so that the two wig clips 100 and 100' can be connected
to each other.
[0076] According to a band-type hairpiece of the present invention
described above, nipping parts are formed through pressing in an
upper resilient side of a base frame of a wig clip, and at the same
time, a tip of each of the nipping parts is constructed to be
caught by two adjacent knots of sewing thread with which strands of
false hair are sewn. Thus, the amount of resilient steel sheet
consumed for fabricating a wig clip is reduced and the wig clip is
prevented from coming out from the false hair.
[0077] Further, according to a roll-type hairpiece of the present
invention, roll-fitting parts are formed through pressing in an
upper resilient side of a base frame of a wig clip, and an end of a
bundle of false hair of the roll-type hairpiece, which is fixed
using an adhesive, is fixedly fitted into each of the roll-fitting
parts. Thus, an operation for connecting the roll-type hairpiece to
user's hair is simplified and a user who intends to use a roll-type
hairpiece can fix the roll-type hairpiece to his/her own hair by
himself/herself, whereby he/she can connect the roll-type hairpiece
to his/her hair without going to a beauty salon or receiving help
from other people.
