Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a hairpiece with
pre-tweezed parting.
[0002] Regular hand-tied hair parting looks very artificial in the
hairpieces such as a lace front wig, full lace wig, wig, hair
closure, and hair frontal piece.
[0003] Therefore, conventional hairpieces need to be improved for
the satisfaction of the users of the hairpieces.
[0004] As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional hairpiece looks
distinctively different from a real or real-looking parting, in
which there are hairs planted evenly across a potential parting
portion and as a result there is no clear portion of parting.
[0005] Accordingly, a need for a hairpiece with pre-tweezed
parting.ng has been present for a long time considering the
expansive demands in the everyday life. This invention is directed
to solve these problems and satisfy the long-felt need.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The present invention contrives to solve the disadvantages
of the prior art.
[0007] An object of the invention is to provide a hairpiece with
pre-tweezed parting.ng or parting.
[0008] An aspect of the invention provides a hairpiece comprising a
lace material, a hair-tied portion, and a pre-tweezed portion.
[0009] The lace material has a mesh structure with a predetermined
eye size and configured for anchoring hairs on an outer side of the
mesh structure and enclosing a scalp portion of a user with an
inner side of the mesh structure.
[0010] The hair-tied portion covers a substantial portion of the
top side of the lace material.
[0011] The pre-tweezed portion covers a slit portion of the top

hand-tied, knotted, or planted.
[0014] The plurality of hairs may be provided on the top side of
the lace material with a predetermined density, number of hairs per
unit area.
[0015] The predetermined density may decrease continuously from a
first value at the vicinity between the hair-tied portion and the
pre-tweezed portion to a second value smaller than the first value
at a portion of the pre-tweezed portion.
[0016] The hairpiece may further comprise a pair of transition
portions provided on both sides of the pre-tweezed portion and
between the hair-tied portion and the pre-tweezed portion, and the
predetermined density changes from the first value to the second
value over the transition portion.
[0017] The width of the pre-tweezed portion may be from about 2 mm
to about 3 mm.
[0018] A width between the pair of transition portions including
the pre-tweezed portion may be from about 3 mm to about 6 mm.
[0019] The pre-tweezed portion may be straight or curved.
[0020] The length of the pre-tweezed portion may be
predetermined.
[0021] The pre-tweezed portion may have a shape of zigzag defined
by the varying of the predetermined density of hairs.
[0022] The hairpiece may comprise wigs, hair closures, or hair
frontal pieces.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION
[0036] Referring to the figures, the embodiments of the invention
are described in detail.
[0037] FIGS. 2-8 show hairpieces according to embodiments of the
present invention, and FIGS. 9 and 10 show some of inventive
features of the hairpiece according to the invention.
[0038] An object of the invention is to provide a hairpiece with
pre-tweezed part or parting.
[0039] Even though the parting portion according to the invention
is named and called `pre-tweezed` portion, but it is just for the
sake of naming, and does not limit how to make that portion. The
pre-tweezed portion just represents the portion, in which almost no
hair is tied or planted and therefore looking like a real parting.
The pre-tweezed portion may be formed by not tiing or planting the
hairs along an elongated portion in the middle portion of the
hairpiece, otherwise planted or tied with pretty much hairs
evenly.
[0040] As shown in FIG. 2, an aspect of the invention provides a
hairpiece 100 comprising a lace material 10, a hair-tied portion
20, and a pre-tweezed portion 30.
[0041] The lace material 10 has a mesh structure with a
predetermined eye size and configured for anchoring hairs on an
outer side of the mesh structure and enclosing a scalp portion of a
user with an inner side of the mesh structure as shown in FIGS. 6,
7, and 9.
[0042] The hair-tied portion 20 covers a substantial portion of the
top side of the lace material 10.
[0043] The pre-tweezed portion 30 covers a slit portion of the top
side of the lace material 10 and disposed in a middle of the
hair-tied portion 20.
[0044] The pre-tweezed portion 30 is configured to provide a clear
center part line, and the pre-tweezed portion 30 has a
predetermined width (W) and a predetermined length (L) as shown in
FIG. 8. In the illustrated embodiment, the length (L) and the width
(W) are defined by general dimensions thereof, but in certain
embodiments of the invention, the length may stand for the length
of straight or curved slit portion, following the shape closely.
Also, the width can be measured more clearly as shown in the middle
portion of FIGS. 9 and 10.
[0045] The hair-tied portion 20 may have a plurality of hairs 80
hand-tied, knotted, or planted as shown in FIG. 9, for an
example.
[0046] The plurality of hairs 80 may be provided on the top side of
the lace material 10 with a predetermined density, number of hairs
per unit area as shown in FIG. 10.
[0047] That is, as shown in FIG. 10, the density (D) of hairs may
be a maximum (d1) in the hair-tied portion 20. And, the density (D)
may be nearly zero in the pre-tweezed portion 30.
[0048] The predetermined density may decrease continuously from a
first value (d1) at the vicinity between the hair-tied portion 20
and the pre-tweezed portion 30 to a second value , which is zero in
the illustrated embodiment, smaller than the first value (d1) at a
portion of the pre-tweezed portion 30.
[0049] The hairpiece 100 may further comprise a pair of transition
portions 40 provided on both sides of the pre-tweezed portion 30
and between the hair-tied portion 20 and the pre-tweezed portion
30, and the predetermined density changes from the first value to
the second value over the transition portion 40 as discussed in the
previous paragraph.
[0050] The width of the pre-tweezed portion 30 may be from about 2
mm to about 3 mm. In this case, the width is a width of the tight
portion of the pre-tweezed portion 30.
[0051] Alternatively, the width between the pair of transition
portions 40 including the pre-tweezed portion 30 in between may be
from about 3 mm to about 6 mm. It takes any value between 3 mm and
6 mm.
[0052] The pre-tweezed portion 30 may be straight or curved, which
can be determined according to the shape of the user's head or
portion thereof.
[0053] The length of the pre-tweezed portion 30 may be
predetermined according to the size groups thereof.
[0054] The pre-tweezed portion 30 may have a shape of zigzag
defined by the varying of the predetermined density of hairs
80.
[0055] The hairpiece 100 may comprise wigs, hair closures, or hair
frontal pieces. Also, the hairpiece 100 may further comprise a
fixing pin 90 provided on the bottom side of the lace material 10,
as shown in FIG. 8.
[0056] The hair density may follow a curve other than the
illustrated linear function in FIG. 10. The density curve may fall
more and more steeply over the transition portions 40 as going from
the hair-tied portion 20 to the pre-tweezed portion 30.
Alternately, the density curve may fall more and more slowly over
the transition portions 40 as going from the hair-tied portion 20
to the pre-tweezed portion 30.
[0057] As discussed in the above, FIGS. 3 and 4 show just a method
for manufacturing the hairpiece with pre-tweezed parting, for an
example, for the purpose of showing how or where to remove or not
plant hairs for the parting.
[0058] While the invention has been shown and described with
reference to different embodiments thereof, it will be appreciated
by those skilled in the art that variations in form, detail,
compositions and operation may be made without departing from the
spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the accompanying
claims.
