Wig with flex-grip base and components for protection against hair damage

Abstract

The device is a lightweight stretchable mesh base wig that provides full hair coverage and protection of a wearer's natural hair via an anti-skid system that securely holds the wig in a comfortable grip position without the use of adhesive, metal or non-porous plastic components. The wig device has a fixed micro hair-part for reducing manufacturing time and cost especially when the device is made of natural or human hair. The device has an anti-stress nape hair component that prevents tension and stress on a wearer's head and on the hair wefts at the lower back of the wig. The components are configured to allow the wig to be natural looking and highly undetectable and at low cost.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 13/185,073 filed 18 Jul. 2011 Publication US2013/0019889A1 Jan. 24, 2013.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Technical Field

[0003] The new invention relates to a residual class for devices and methods used by persons in making their personal grooming and hygiene. The field includes closely related professional devices and methods for treating or grooming hair; which includes wig-making processes. The new invention also relates to devices on which the wearer's false hair is supported.

[0004] 2. Background Art

[0005] U.S. application Ser. No. 13/185,073 was devised to provide a remedy of: "a highly undetectable, easy to acquire, good self-retention, easy to manufacture and low cost hairpiece especially those made with human hair . . . " (Original Specification Page 2-3 Sec 009; State Of the Art line 3-5) "It also address the shortcomings of patented related prior art by providing a stretchable fabric base device that stays in place without the need for any attachments; adhesives, clips, sew-on connections or abrasive hard surfaces." (Original Specification, Brief Disclosure of Invention Page 6: Line 1-3) "The preferred embodiment has narrow anti-skid reinforcement tabs along the periphery band with alternate stretch space between each tab to create a flexible grip pattern of arrangement. (Original Specification, Sec 022; Detailed Description of Invention Page 9: item #12). "The preferred embodiment has the wefts at the forehead and crown slanted towards the font from both left and right direction, overlaid by a piece of weft positioned to form a uniformly narrow opening. The preferred embodiment uses the narrow opening at the forehead and crown area to form a micro open permanent hair part that presents imitation scalp with hair growth. The preferred method to implant the strands of hair for the embodiments with the imitation scalp is by a method known as knotting or ventilating. The preferred way to form the micro open permanent hair part is to permanently secure the first row of implanted hair that overlays the edge of the weft. By using a zigzag stitch line the same color as the implanted hair as a means to do so, the edges of the hair wefts are hidden. The hair part is less prone to be exposed by hair movement and subsequent implanted row(s) easily camouflage as scalp with hair growth." (Original Specification, Page 8, Detailed Description of Invention, Sec 022 item #7 to # 10)

[0006] U.S. application Ser. No. 13/185,073 Palmer-Rogers device is the only lightweight mesh base wig device with a component that provide sustained high self-retention capacity that keeps a lightweight structure in place with no adhesive, no metal, no plastic or non-porous components and by so doing protect a wearer's hair from damage those harmful elements. "Hard and heavy elements that rest continuously on the head and scalp can cause friction on the head, fatigue from the weight, discomfort and even hair loss" (Original Specification Page 3, Background of the Invention, Sec 011: line 7-9) Other prior art devices either had harmful components or had no viable means to support a soft stretchable mesh base. For example related prior art Molinario U.S. Pat. No. 3,835,867 has a soft stretchable mesh base with no adhesive, no metal, plastic or non-porous components but the device has no means of support to prevent a soft stretchable base from reclining and turning up. Related prior art U.S. Pat. No. 4,949,7376 issued to Nakamura has antiskid component but uses metal that could damage a wearer's hair and cause scalp irritation, Nakamura recites: "A wig having a shape retaining element for preventing turning-up, distortion and so on of a wig base". (Abstract Disclosure: line 1) "Here the shape memory alloy applicable to the invention is an alloy" . . . of copper, zinc and aluminum (Column 5: line 15-23). U.S. Pat. No. 6,584,983 issued to Jerome Nicot and Nicole Denelle: A wig or hairpiece having a flexible antislip system . . . ; the thin drawable film being arranged on a surface of the drawable fabric which contacts the skin on a user's head when the wig or hairpiece is positioned on a user's head" Nicot anti-slip component on the device is plastic and works when placed directly onto a hairless scalp, while the functionality of the device of application Ser. No. 13/185,073 Palmer-Rogers is not dependent on the stage of hair growth or loss nor does it need a skin area for the functionality of the anti-skid element. The invention protects the natural hair of the wearer from damage caused by prior art retention components which includes adhesive of for example prior art Palumbo et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,606,359 which states that the device is a: "hairpiece reducing the contact of adhesive used to secure the hairpiece to the head of the user. (Abstract disclosure: line 6) Palumbo device reduces adhesive not eliminate the use of adhesive. All other prior art devices with a lightweight stretchable mesh base either had no viable means to hold the wig in place or the devices had metal, hard plastic, non-porous material or adhesives as a means of anti-skid and retention.

[0007] In addition U.S. application Ser. No. 13/185,073 Palmer-Rogers is also the only device having a time saving fixed or permanent micro hair-part with imitation scalp presentation for human hair; "It allows the predominant use of pre-made hair wefts to keep manufacturing time and cost low." (Original Specification, Page 6-7; Advantageous Effects of the Invention item #6) "The hair part is only a small fraction of an inch wide, so narrow it requires only as little as two lines of knotted hair. Producing a natural looking hairpiece in a fraction of the time it takes to produce prior art of comparable appearance with imitation scalp" (Original Specification: Abstract Disclosure: Line 8-11) The hair part component provides a more natural looking up to date hair style than crown configuration of prior art devices for example the cyclone or spiral hair arrangement as in U.S. Patent Number 20040168696 issued to Mary J. Cox: (paragraph 49) and in U.S. Pat. No. 3,788,332 issued to Dominic C, Abbott (Abstract Disclosure: line 11) wherein hair wefts are arranged in a spiral, cyclone or radial position at the crown area. Spiraling hair wefts restricts the length and type of hair that can be used and hairstyles that can be created. Another issue with spiraling is that hair wefts are placed very closely together to hide the edges of the hair weft, thus restricting ventilation. Palmer-Rogers U.S. application Ser. No. 13/185,073 not only provides a more natural looking undated device but also provides better ventilation at the crown area.

[0008] Another crown configuration on prior art devices is for example the side-to-side weft arrangement as on prior art Molinario U.S. Pat. No. 3,835,867; "As shown in FIG. 1, the net 12 of the cap 10 may comprise a frontal zone 15 in which the zones 12 and 14 are situated so as to pass from side to side above the head" (Column 2: Line 16-19). The side to side weft placement creates hair styles with raised hair at the crown; hairstyles that were popular in the year 1974 when Molinario's patent was issued. Molinario's device does not provide a crown arrangement that imitate natural hair styles of this generation. Women's hairstyles for longer hair today have a sleeker look with hair part at the front that is either center or side oriented. No prior art provided a low cost remedy to produce a natural looking device of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/185,073 Palmer-Rogers invention.

[0009] The micro open permanent hair part of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/185,073 specifically reduces manufacturing time and cost particularly of devices made of natural hair that requires hand knotting process commonly called ventilation: "The more area of the base that is covered by wefts the less time consuming and costly is the manufactured hairpiece or wig. The new invention takes advantage of that fact but present a new and useful more attractive method to conceal the edge of the hair wefts at the forehead section. The new method is the micro open permanent hair part. This hair part described and illustrated uses only a fraction of an inch of knotted or implanted hair to cover the edges of the exposed wefts. Producing a natural looking device in a fraction of the time it takes to produce prior art of comparable appearance." (Original Specification Page 5; Brief Disclosure of the Invention Sec.018: Line 8-15). It is common knowledge in the art that many human hair wigs are often completed manually by a process called knotting or ventilation because certain length and textures of human hair cannot be ventilated by machines, as a result of this limitation, human hair wigs of variable length and texture are scarce and costly. Prior art Nakamura discloses that hair strands are connected over the entire base; "a multiplicity of hairs are implanted to a convex outer surface of a wig base" (Column 2: line 46). Prior art Palumbo teaches; "individual hairs forming the hairpiece are affixed to the cross-over points of a woven foundation or base" in entirety (Column 1:line20). These prior art do not provide a time and cost saving remedy provided by U.S. application Ser. No. 13/185,073 Palmer-Rogers. In addition tests showed that solely resizing of prior art ventilation area to a 1/4'' (6 mm) size of Palmer-Rogers micro hair-part does not work without the configuration and structure on Palmer-Rogers device in that the tensioned periphery band of soft stretchable mesh fabric and the anti-skid tabs allow the front hair wefts to be aligned snuggly against a wearer's forehead without adhesives or clips. Two vertically positioned hair wefts are used to help form a component of the fixed micro hair part and are in close proximity at a dominant forehead area. When the component of the fixed micro hair part is configured on a non-stretch or un-tensioned wig base like that of prior art Palumbo et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,606,359 the forehead area of the base protrudes and would require adhesives or clips as a remedy. The tests also showed that when the fixed micro hair part is on a device that is an un-reinforced stretchable base like that of Molinario U.S. Pat. No. 3,835,867, the base reclines away from the forehead and exposes a wearer's natural hair.

[0010] Despite the new remedies and advantages of the anti-skid system and the permanent or fixed micro hair-part component of Palmer-Rogers application Ser. No. 13/185,073, a new component of an anti-stress, nape hair section is warranted for the invention. It was discovered after the filing of the application Ser. No. 13/185,073 that because the anti-skid system keeps the wig base extended over the extremity a wearer's nape hair, when the wearer of the device is of short stature or has a short neck, the hair wefts at the nape of the wig has a tendency to get tangled and miss-positioned by a wearer's clothing such as collars and scarves etc. In addition tests showed that when wefts at the nape area are positioned horizontally across the neck back area, the base loses the stretch capacity in that area. An anti-stress nape component is necessitated in order to prevent stress on a wearer's head with movement of the neck back muscle, and to prevent friction on the hairs of the wearer's nape to prevent damage and hair loss in that area.

[0011] Related prior art devices have un-reinforced nape section that reclines unless held in place by adhesives or clips and normally have hair wefts positioned horizontally at the nape section of wigs. Because regular hair wefts do not have the capacity to stretch, a snuggly fitted wig with the normal horizontal positioned human hair wefts can become a source of tension and friction. Many prior art devices are directed toward users who already have hair loss much attention has not been given to protecting a wearer's own hair. In today's culture it is common practice for women to wear wigs for added length and change of style and not because of hair loss therefore it is important that their natural hair be protected from damage.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Brief Summary of the Invention

[0012] The current patent application adds a new anti-stress nape component and modifies the placement of an elastic support element on application Ser. No. 13/185,073 to provide a complete and effective wig device that is made of lightweight stretchable mesh fabric with non-invasive, non adhesive, non-metal or plastic components with a ridge-less interior that fits securely and comfortably to a wearer's and having the lightweight stretchable mesh base supported by a retention system that keeps it in place without the need for any attachments; adhesives, clips, sew-on connections or abrasive hard surfaces. The device also has a fixed or permanent micro hair-part component with imitation scalp presentation.

[0013] With reference to the disclosed hair part component (120.1) of the original application Ser. No. 13/185,073 with illustration in FIG. 2 of original drawings, the term "micro open permanent hair part" is hereby changed in this present Application to "fixed micro hair part" in order to provide better clarity since the word "open" can be construed as an actual cut out in the cap base of the wig. The "open" area is an actual demarcation area that has no hair wefts. The process, arrangement of components and illustration remains the same as the original application.

[0014] This new invention is directed for use by women particularly those of African-American descent in that the configuration of hair wefts in the fixed micro hair-part causes the crown area with the simulated hair-part section to lay flat. A flat configuration would not work for hairpieces such as those for men. In addition the zigzag stitch-line element in the fixed micro hair part component simulates a thickened hair root. While this limitation may preempt use of the concept in other fields it best imitate the characteristic of women's hair and particular African-American women hair. The hair part is relevant since most women wearing their own natural hair in longer styles generally have a hair part at the front that is either center or side oriented, prior arts that exclude a hair part element from their invention, will not meet the objective of providing a natural looking device in the manner of this claimed invention. While some prior art provide a crown area with ventilation or implanted hair section that is big enough to allow a wearer to select where to part the hair, when made of human hair it is extremely costly and difficult to find in stores.

[0015] During development of the claimed invention over 350 specimens were designed and tested. It was ascertained that the best mode to achieve a human hair wig with natural appearance at the lowest possible price required a simulated hair-part that entailed strategic positioning of hair wefts as seen in illustration on FIG. 2 drawing, and further minimizing time and cost via a zigzag stitch-line used to permanently conceal exposed final hair weft edges and utilizing the spikes of the zigzag stitch to seamlessly blend as a part of the hair root in the simulated hair-part presentation. Each component of the claimed device works cohesively for example the functionality of the component of a fixed micro hair-part is co-dependent on the elements of the anti-skid system in that this reinforced periphery band has alternate stretchable and non stretchable areas that allows the hair wefts that form the fixed micro hair part to be aligned snuggly and discreetly against a wearers forehead without adhesives or clips and in so doing the configuration protects a wearer's hair form harmful retention components.

Objective of the Invention

[0016] The first and main objective for the invention is to provide a device that fits securely to the wearer's head without the use of adhesives clips, rigid sharp edged ribbons or other objects that can harm the natural hair. Recent news headlines highlighted the damage and hair-loss being experienced by women who are avid wearers of prior art devices. One renowned African-American supermodel was featured with several inches of her front hairline being bald from alleged use of prior art lace front wigs with adhesive retention. This deficiency of prior art devices that cause hair damage speaks to the need for this new invention.

[0017] Second objective for the current invention is to improve availability of human hair wigs by configuring a device that is uncomplicated and suitable for mass production using regular materials and tools of the apparel industry in order to make readily available human hair wigs for purchase through relevant retail outlets with no need to buy available hair wefts then designing the product on a wearers head.

[0018] Third objective of the current invention is cost reduction by providing a device that is discreet and natural as possible that can be manufactured in as little time as possible. With components that take a fraction of the time it takes to produce prior art hairpieces of comparable appearance in that of the fixed micro hair part component.

[0019] Forth objective of the current invention is to provide a device that does not require or depend on the length of a wearer's hair for functionality by providing a device that covers the all the wearer's own natural hair, the claimed invention can be used for hair at any stage of growth or hair-loss. If needs be a wearer with longer hair may simply secure their own hair in a chignon or braids to allow the soft stretchable base to conformation to a natural shape. While women who are experiencing advance hair loss can confidently wear this device because of the high self retention capacity provided by the anti-skid tabs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION

Best Mode of Carrying out the Invention

[0041] The drawing in FIG. 1, illustrates the base of the current invention to which human or synthetic hair is attached. The best mode to carry out the new invention is a preferred embodiment with the following components and process:

[0042] The base is 10.1 a lightweight stretchable mesh fabric with a percentage of nylon and spandex. The antiskid reinforcement tabs 50.1 are made of a stiff nylon netting fabric popularly known as crinoline or stiff tulle.

[0043] The center panel 20.1, which is wider at the front that stretches lengthwise and two side panels 30.1 stretch downwards to adapt to the shape and size of the wearer's head.

[0044] The periphery is a band 80.1 made from a stretchable fabric of 85% percentage of nylon and 15% spandex. The band fabric is folded to form a smooth durable edge. The band is 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide. The circumference of the band is based on international hat sizes, for example hat-size 71/2 measures 23.5 inches (59.7 cm) and is regarded as large. The large would be a popular size, but the scope to manufacture a variety of sizes is one of the advantages of this new invention as opposed to prior arts that is one-size-fits-all foundation.

[0045] The opening at the ear section of the periphery band 90.1 is 1.5 inches (3.8 cm). The opening is reinforced with the stretchable fabric of 85% percentage of nylon and 15% spandex 100.1. The reinforcement fabric for this ear section is folded to form a smooth durable edge that can rest on the wearer's ear crease without irritation. The remaining opening easily accommodates the ear. 100.2 a 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) elastic member about 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) long with a soft textured surface is connected to the inside of the cap base at least 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) above the opening for each ears. With the opening not being the entire width of the band and the additional elastic support it allows continuous tension that helps hold the soft structure of the base in place.

[0046] The ant-skid reinforcement tabs 50.1 are made from stiff nylon netting fabric popularly known as crinoline or stiff tulle. The stiff net is double folded lengthwise and stitched on the outside layer of the base below the attached hair. Placing the tabs on the outer layer of the base prevents the rough texture from coming in contact with the wearer's hair or scalp. The side and back reinforcement tabs are 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) long and 3/4 inches (1.9 cm) wide. The front reinforcement tab 60.1 is 3'' (7.62 cm) wide, 4'' (10.16 cm) long. The tabs are placed in a longitude position along the periphery band.

[0047] The front reinforcement tab 60.1 has a scalp colored fabric 70.1 the fabric stretchable fabric can be the same as the periphery band of the wig. This scalp colored overlay forms the imitation scalp at the crown and forehead area of the base.

[0048] In FIG. 2, 130.1 illustrate the stitch-line whereby multiple rows of pre-made hair wefts are attached to the base. Wefts at the forehead and crown are slanted towards the center of the forehead from both left and right direction 110.1. The slanted wefts are overlaid by another piece of weft positioned lengthwise 120.1 to form a smooth uniformly narrow opening. The narrow opening or blank demarcation area at the forehead and crown helps to form what is called a fixed micro hair part. This new fixed micro hair-part feature presents imitation scalp when hair is knotted or ventilated into the narrow opening or blank demarcation area 140.1. The open or blank demarcation area for knotting is only 1/4 inch (6 mm) wide and 3''(7.62 cm) long but can vary in length. The narrow opening or blank demarcation area requires only two uniformed lines of ventilated hair in multiple strands along the edges of the exposed weft at the crown and forehead as illustrated

[0049] The process for completing 110.1 the fixed micro hair-part feature is as follows; the wig is has hair wefts attached in regular hair growth pattern and at the crown and forehead area there is a left and a right array of hair wefts slanted towards a wearer's forehead and said arrays of hair wefts has a quarter inch (1/4'' (6 mm) narrow demarcation area between said left and right arrays of hair weft and said demarcation area has a vertical hair weft border and said hair weft border is concealed by a uniformed line of implanted or knotted hair strands followed by a dual function compressed zigzag stitch-line that secures said line of implanted or knotted hair strands in a permanently fixed position over edges of said hair weft border while by effecting a simulated thickened hair root that reduces manufacturing time and cost by seamlessly blending with a second line of implanted or knotted hair strands and present a natural looking hair-part with visible imitation scalp.

[0050] In FIG. 1 100.1 the elastic support across the width of the opening at the ear to help size adjustment. It helps support the base and helps eliminate the need for retention devices such as clips, comb clips, hooks and adhesives along with the narrow anti-skid reinforcement tabs along the periphery band with alternate stretch space between each tab creates a flexible grip pattern of arrangement to allow a firm and secure but comfortable fit that also eliminate the need for retention devices such as clips, comb clips, hooks and adhesives.

[0051] The reinforcement tab 60.1 at the forehead area overlaid by a single piece of scalp colored fabric 70.1 forms a slight peak when the flexible areas on the sides retract. This helps to align the base to fit the curvature of the natural hairline.

[0052] The current invention also presents a new layout for the nape section 150.1. The anti-stress nape hair component has vertically positioned hair wefts with hair strands approximately three quarters of an inch (3/4''19 mm) short. Hair wefts are positioned inwardly toward the center of the nape form left and right side of the head and are positioned so that hair strands overlap and conceal inner hair weft edges and form a dual-function flat, textured layer of nape hair. The vertical positioning of hair wefts help maintain flexibility of wig base and accommodate movement of neck back muscles with reduced tension on a wearer's head while reducing stress and friction on hairs at lower nape section of wig and said simulated nape hair component covers an area approximately (2''.times.4'' or 50 mm.times.100 mm) two inches high and four inches wide at lowest central neck back area on said wig.

[0053] Applicant has set forth the best mode contemplated of carrying out the invention into a complete operative device The present disclosure having been thus described makes particular reference to the preferred mode of carrying out the invention thereof, it will be obvious that various changes and modification may be made therein without departing from the scope of the present disclosure as defined.
