Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a wig-type extension that can be freely attached to and detached from a user's hair. [Background technology]

[0002] Hair extensions (hereafter referred to as extensions) are a fashion item that can be enjoyed by attaching them to your own hair. Currently, the most common types of extensions are "stick-on extensions" that are attached to your own hair using a sticker, "braided extensions" that are attached by weaving them into your own hair, "pull-on extensions" that are attached by tying them with string to your own hair, and "ultrasonic extensions" that are attached to your own hair using a special machine.

[0003] All of the current extensions mentioned above are difficult for users to attach by themselves, and are generally applied at beauty salons, etc. In addition, extensions, once attached, cannot be easily removed, and they have to be left on for long periods of time, making shampooing difficult and putting a strain on the user's own hair.

[0004] In addition, the methods that users use to check the extension color in advance are to place a small color sample strand on the hair and check in a mirror, to check by looking at a color sample chart, to check by looking at an image of a model person, or to check by creating a CG image. However, even if the color is decided using any of these methods, there may be a gap (dissatisfaction) between the image and the reality when the color is actually applied to the hair, and in some cases, the color may need to be redone.

[0005] On the other hand, wigs are used to hide thinning hair of the wearer, and as disclosed in Patent Document 1 (JP Patent No. 5733650) and Patent Document 2 (JP Patent Publication 2008-184714 A), they are generally temporarily fixed to the wearer's hair using a hook-and-loop fastener of a certain size or the like, and then firmly fixed in place using an elastic member (hooks, etc.) so that they do not easily come off.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5733650 [Patent Document 2] JP 2008-184714 A DISCLOSURE OF THEINVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide extensions that use a fixing means for hair that is different from that of the conventional extensions and wigs described above, can be attached / detached simply and easily by the user to the user's own hair, there is no gap between the image and the reality, and even if the front or rear end of the hair implant net is turned up while attaching it, a third party cannot tell that an extension is attached. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a hair implantation net in the form of a long, thin tape having hair and / or artificial hair implanted upward from the surface thereof; The hair net includes a mounting member that is attached to the back surface of the hair implantation net and can be attached / detached to the user's hair, When the length direction of the hair implantation net is defined as the front-rear direction, the face side when the user wears it on the head in the length direction is defined as the front end side, the back of the head side is defined as the rear end side, and the scalp side of the user faces downward, The attachment member is The above At a predetermined distance from the center in the length direction The front-rear direction The attachment member is divided into two parts and arranged symmetrically, and each of the two parts is attached to the flocked net at least The above The plates are bonded together with a gap of a predetermined width in the front-rear direction. The flocked net The above Distal and / or The above The hair and / or artificial hair is implanted downward from the back surface in the gap between the rear end side and the attachment member.

[0009] In addition, the flocked net The above Distal and / or The above The gap between the rear end side and the mounting member is 3 to 5 mm.

[0010] The flocked net is also characterized in that it has a length of 30 to 110 mm and a width of 10 to 30 mm.

[0011] The mounting member is also characterized in that each of the two divided parts has a length of 10 to 50 mm and a width of 6 to 26 mm.

[0012] The mounting member is composed of a base and a plurality of legs, the legs being mushroom-shaped protrusions, and the density of the legs is 62 to 68 pieces / cm 2 The present invention is characterized in that:

[0013] The attachment member is a member for attaching the hair-implanted net. The above At the center position in the length direction, there is a gap of 4 to 6 mm The front-rear direction It is characterized by being divided into two parts and arranged symmetrically.

[0014] The present invention is also characterized in that the flocked net is made of nylon, the base of the mounting member is made of nylon, and the feet are made of polypropylene.

[0015] Furthermore, the total weight of the wig-type extension is 4 to 15 g. Effect of the Invention

[0016] According to the extensions of the present invention described above, users can easily wear sample extensions in various shapes and colors that are the same as the real ones available in the store, and can select and purchase the extensions that match what they imagined, thus eliminating the dissatisfaction and gap that occurs when the image differs from the impression when actually worn as in the past.

[0017] Furthermore, because users can easily attach and remove the extensions from their own natural hair, there is no need to go to a beauty salon or the like to have them attached, and the time required for attachment is extremely short.

[0018] In addition, when shampooing, the extensions can be easily removed and only your natural hair washed, without damaging your natural hair.The removed extensions can also be washed separately, so the extensions can be kept clean and hygienic.

[0019] The mounting member is provided at the front and rear ends at a predetermined interval from the center of the length of the flocked net. direction Since it is divided into two parts and arranged symmetrically, it is fixed in a folded state when stored, which prevents the hair and / or artificial hair from getting tangled in the attachment member during storage and allows for compact storage.

[0020] In addition, since the hair and / or artificial hair is implanted downward from the back side at the tip and / or rear end of the hair implant net, even if the tip or rear end is turned up for some reason, it is not visible from the outside that the hair implant net has been turned up, and third parties cannot tell whether or not the user is wearing extensions.

[0021] Furthermore, in beauty salons and hair coloring specialty stores, the extensions of the present invention can easily be used to achieve the same impression as customers would have after coloring their natural hair, reducing the risk of regretting a failed coloring. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0022] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a rear view of the extensions according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2-1] Enlarged schematic diagram of the flocked net and attachment parts (part 1) [Figure 2-2] Enlarged schematic diagram of the flocked net and attachment parts (part 2) [Diagram 3] Enlarged schematic diagram of the tip of the flocked net [Figure 4] Enlarged side view of the mounting part [Diagram 5] A diagram showing an example of the extension lineup DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0023] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. Fig. 1 is a back view of the wig-type extension (hereinafter referred to as extension) according to the present invention, which is composed of a long, thin, tape-like hair implant net 2 on which variously colored hair and / or artificial hair 1 (hereinafter referred to as hair 1) is implanted upward over the entire length of its front surface, and an attachment member 3 that is adhered to the back surface of the hair implant net 2 and can be freely attached / detached to the user's hair. The hair 1 may be only hair, only artificial hair, or a mixture of both. The density of the hair 1 implanted in the hair implant net 2 may be the same as that of a conventional hair implant, and is not particularly limited. In the following, the length direction of the hair implant net is defined as the front-to-back direction, the face side when the user wears it on their head is defined as the tip side, the back of the head side is defined as the rear end side, and the user's scalp side is defined as facing downward.

[0024] FIG. 2-1 is an enlarged schematic diagram of the flocked net 2 and the attachment member 3. The attachment member 3 is arranged at the front and rear ends of the flocked net 2 at a predetermined interval L2 (about 4 to 6 mm) from the center of the flocked net 2 in the longitudinal direction. direction The two attachment members 3 are arranged symmetrically and are bonded to the flocked net 2 with a gap of a predetermined width at least in the front-rear direction.

[0025] When removing the extensions for storage, the hair implant net 2 is folded at the center of the two mounting members 3, so that the two symmetrically arranged mounting members 3 come into contact with each other at their surfaces and are fixed together. This prevents the hair 1 from getting tangled in the mounting members 3 when the extensions are stored, and allows for compact storage.

[0026] As shown in Fig. 2-1 and Fig. 3, a gap L1 (approximately 3 to 5 mm) is formed between the tip side of the hair implant net 2 and the attachment member 3, and hair 1 is implanted downward from the back surface of the hair implant net 2 in this gap L1. With this configuration, even if the tip side of the hair implant net 2 is turned up for some reason while the extensions are being attached, the turning up of the hair implant net 2 is not visible from the outside, and a third party cannot tell whether the user is attaching the extensions or not. In the embodiment of Fig. 2-1, an example in which hair 1 is implanted downward only on the tip side of the hair implant net 2 is shown, but as shown in Fig. 2-2, hair 1 may also be implanted downward on the rear end side of the hair implant net 2, or hair 1 may be implanted downward only on the rear end side.

[0027] 4 is an enlarged side view (actual photo) of the attachment member 3, which is composed of a base 4 and multiple legs 4 protruding from the base 3. The legs 4 are mushroom-shaped protrusions, with a mushroom cap-like bulge (mashed part) formed at the tip of the thin wire, and this bulge becomes entangled with the user's hair, allowing the extensions to be freely attached and detached from the user's hair.

[0028] The diameter of the thin wire of leg 4 is 220Tex, the length is 2.3 to 3 mm, the diameter of the bulge is 0.5 to 0.6 mm, and the density of leg 4 is 62 to 68 wires / cm 2 However, the present invention is not limited to these. The attachment member 3 only needs to have a sufficient attachment strength to the user's hair so that it does not easily come off, and can be easily removed with a predetermined force. The shape of the bulging portion may be a hemisphere, a sphere, or the like, other than a mushroom cap shape.

[0029] When the above-mentioned flocked net 2 is folded in the middle, the two symmetrically arranged mounting members 3 come into contact with each other and are fixed in place because the feet 4 having the above-mentioned configuration allow the two mounting members 3 to function as hook-and-loop fasteners.

[0030] FIG. 5 shows an example of the extension lineup, where FIG. 5(a) shows parting extensions, (b) shows bangs extensions, (c) shows whorl extensions, (d) shows mesh extensions, and (e) shows air extensions, but the types of extensions are not limited to these examples.

[0031] The length and width of the hair implant net 2 can be determined appropriately depending on the shape, size, etc. of the various lineups mentioned above, but it is preferable that the length is approximately 30 to 110 mm and the width is approximately 10 to 30 mm, but is not limited to these.

[0032] Furthermore, it is preferable that each of the two divided mounting members 3 has a length of 10 to 50 mm and a width of 6 to 13 mm, but is not limited to these.

[0033] In addition, it is preferable that the flocked net 2 is made of nylon, the base portion 4 of the mounting member 3 is made of nylon, and the legs 5 are made of polypropylene, but the materials are not limited to these.

[0034] Furthermore, extensions are available in a variety of lineups, as shown in Figure 5 above. 、 The total weight is preferably about 4 to 15 g, but is not limited to this.

[0035] As described above, the extensions of the present invention are different from conventional seal-type, braid-type, pull-type, and ultrasonic extensions, which cannot be easily removed once attached and must be worn for long periods of time. Instead, like wigs, the extensions can be easily attached and removed by the user, allowing users and stores to create a variety of new uses and effects that have never been seen before.

[0036] Furthermore, if hair salons and hair coloring specialty stores stock a wide variety of extensions according to the present invention in a wide range of colors, customers who wish to color their natural hair can have extensions of the color they desire attached, allowing them to experience a trial that is almost identical to the actual colored look, thereby reducing the risk of regretting a failed coloring or having to redo it.

[0037] The extensions according to the present invention can also be used as wigs, and there is no strict distinction between what is conventionally called extensions and wigs. [Explanation of symbols]
