AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The device described in this patent helps with hair treatment by sliding onto the tip of a finger and engaging individual strands of hair to create a precise part. This makes the process easier and faster.

Problems solved by technology

Hair extension placement often requires hundreds of repetitions of picking up and putting down a comb to take a single strand of hair to place the extension thereon, which consumes time and energy, and is uncomfortable for both the stylist and recipient.
The current device used is a tip of a comb or a rat-tail comb that has to be put down and picked back up between usages, meaning it can fall, be misplaced, or be out of reach, as well as be difficult to grip and awkward to use.
Furthermore, the use of a comb is not effective because this repetition causes fidgeting while grabbing the comb and properly placing in the hand of the stylist.
Such current devices cause the stylist to also use poor ergonomics as they must bend, lift and reach back and forth with the comb, straining their back, neck, shoulders wrists and arms.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.

[0016]Broadly, an embodiment of the present invention provides a device for selectively parting strands of hair during hair treatment processes and single cylinder extension application. The parting device may have an annular body dimensioned and adapted to removably receive and secure a tip of a human wearer. A strand arm extends from the annular body parallel to its longitudinal axis, in certain embodiments an inch- and four inches for highlighting. The strand arm tapers to a rounded distal end so that a user wearing the parting device on their fingertip can manipulate and engage strands of hair with the strand arm during vari...

Abstract

A device for selectively parting strands of hair is provided. The parting device may have an annular body dimensioned and adapted to removably receive and secure a tip of a human wearer. A strand arm extends from the annular body parallel to its longitudinal axis. The strand arm tapers to a rounded distal end so that a user wearing the parting device on their fingertip can manipulate and engage strands of hair with the strand arm during various hair treatment processes requiring selectively parting single strands of hair.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to hair treatment devices and, more particularly, to a device worn on the finger of a user for selectively parting strands of hair for facilitating the insertion of single strand hair extensions.[0002]A strand of human hair can range from 17 to 181 μm (millionths of a meter). Hair extension placement often requires hundreds of repetitions of picking up and putting down a comb to take a single strand of hair to place the extension thereon, which consumes time and energy, and is uncomfortable for both the stylist and recipient.[0003]The current device used is a tip of a comb or a rat-tail comb that has to be put down and picked back up between usages, meaning it can fall, be misplaced, or be out of reach, as well as be difficult to grip and awkward to use. Furthermore, the use of a comb is not effective because this repetition causes fidgeting while grabbing the comb and properly placing in the hand of the stylist. Such cu...
