[0002] Facial hair removal and eyebrow threading facilitating device

[0003] FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0004] Present invention relates to a device that facilitates beautician in removal of facial and eyebrow hair of client by conveniently holding and managing a thread while doing threading. Present invention more particularly relates to a device that can be conveniently worn by the beautician on his or her head and adapted to (i) mount a thread bobbin, (ii) unwinding required thread length from the thread bobbin by unlocking its rotational degree of freedom, (iii) tightly hold the thread while doing threading by locking the thread bobbin and anchoring the thread, (iv) adjust position of the thread anchoring point on forehead of the beautician and, (v) adjust inclination of thread as per convenience of the beautician while doing threading.

[0005] Present invention facilitates beautician in easy removal of even short and thick hair from the face and eyebrows of the client by (i) tightly holding the thread, (ii) easily applying force required for threading with minimum efforts and movement of neck and, (iii) providing better vision. Beautician need not required to hold the thread in between teeth and because of the reason ill effect on oral health and dental structure of beautician and unhygienic condition due to contact of thread and hence body parts of the beautician and client is avoided. Tightly held thread minimizes pain suffered by client while undergoing threading. Tightly held thread and better vision helps beautician in maintaining symmetry of the eyebrows of client after threading. Beautician wearing teeth braces can also perform facial and eyebrow hair removal by doing threading.

[0006] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0007] Hair threading is a technique of removing unwanted facial hair including eyebrow hair and shaping of eyebrows for better look using a thin, twisted cotton or polyester thread. In the hair threading, the twisted thread is rolled over the skin. Twisting action pluck the hair at the follicle level by trapping and lifting it out of the follicle. Hair threading provides a clean and defined look.

[0008] Historical evidence suggests that threading has been practiced for centuries, possibly dating back to ancient Egyptian and Indian civilizations. In Indian culture, threading has been a part of traditional beauty practices for centuries, often learned and passed down through generations. With increase in cultural exchanges over the time and through trade and migration, hair threading technique spread from its origins in the Middle East and South Asia to other parts of the world. In the late 20th century, threading began gaining popularity in Western countries, primarily through the influence of South Asian and Middle Eastern communities. Beauty salons in Europe and North America began to offer threading services, and it quickly became a popular method for shaping eyebrows and removing facial hair. Threading is offered a mainstream beauty practice in many Western countries nowadays.

[0009] Hair threading allows precise shaping of the eyebrows and cleaner facial look by targeting individual hair. Unlike other techniques for hair removal such as waxing, hair threading does not involve application of any chemical materials to the skin, reducing the risk of skin irritation or allergic reactions making it suitable for all skin types and it is comparatively cheaper. Hair removed by threading takes longer time to grow back compared to hair remove by shaving and waxing, as each hair is pulled out from the root.

[0010] As shown in FIG. 1-2, conventional manual techniques used for facial and eyebrows hair threading involves; (i) use of both the hands utilizing thread and, (ii) use of both the hands and teeth utilizing thread.

[0011] Hand held and operated tools are reported for hair threading.

[0012] Patent number CN205866317U discloses a kind of scissor hair remover, including a head rod and one second connecting rod forming hinged composition X-shaped structure described cotton threads with middle spiral of two described cotton threads twine around together, four ends of two described cotton threads tie up to the end of the described first support bar and second support bar respectively. The scissor hair remover pressed from both sides by two cotton threads being spirally wound together into tight hair.

[0013] Patent application number GB2461878A discloses hand-operated, mechanical / electric (including battery operated) device / tool / equipment that by using a form of twisted string rotated and mobile to uproot hair which is developed to replace the manual operation of threading.

[0014] Patent number US5951573 discloses manual or hand-held depilatory devices consisting of a pair of base members pivot ally connected to one another and which support, at opposite ends of each base member, a pair of anchors that extend generally perpendicularly from the base members. A pair of String-like elongated elements arranged in mutually twisted engagement are attached to the anchors in such a manner Such that the coils formed by the elongate elements travel linearly along the length of the depilatory device as the base members pivot with respect to one another.

[0015] Patent number US7235085B1 hair removing device for pulling hair out of the skin at the roots in which a drive assembly mechanically coupled to the first and second spools selectively moves the first and second spools. The loops twist with respect to each other when the first and second spools are move in the first and second directions. The loops engage and remove hair attached to skin.

[0016] Patent number US10874187B2 discloses the depilatory device comprising the longitudinal first and second members respectively that can be separated to reveal the coil spring, such that the coil spring can be employed for performing the depilatory action.

[0017] Patent publication number US2013 / 0096578 Al discloses self-threading apparatus and an improved method of threading by using a rotational mechanism that allows for threading with only one manipulation point instead of the conventional tour manipulation points as well as one or more threads to be used as a guide to help identity and / or isolate hair to be removed. It minimizes the amount of manual labour and skills required for threading without compromising with precision.

[0018] Such prior art tools can choose a small amount of hair making hair removal time consuming. Further only a limited amount of force can be applied using only hand operated tools making it difficult to remove short and thick hair. Some of the devices are power operated making it less versatile, bulky, complex and costlier. While hair threading using both the hands, removal of thick and short hair is difficult and becomes painful to the clients because of the limitation of the force and rolling movement of twisted thread that can be applied using only hands.

[0019] Hair threading using both the hands and teeth utilizing cotton thread is more popular as using this technique greater force can be applied for removal of even short and thick hair. This also increases rolling movement of twisted thread that can be applied resulting into time saving. In this technique, hair threading is performed by beautician by holding the thread at one end in his or her mouth using molar teeth and performing hair threading using both hands while maintaining tension in the thread. Due to increased rolling movement of twisted thread that can be applied using this technique, one full line of hair of the eyebrow can be threaded all at once, making it much quicker and easier to shape eyebrows.

[0020] During the face and eyebrow hair removal, a close proximity is maintained between the beautician and the client because of nature of procedure. While working using this technique, health and hygiene of the beautician and client is compromised. The saliva of the beautician may come in contact with the face and other body part of the client via the thread held in the mouth by the beautician. Holding of the thread in the mouth, prevent the beautician from communicating with the client and wearing of mask during the hair threading. In post pandemic era, clients prefer to get the hair threading service from the beautician wearing mask. Wearing of mask by the beautician and client prevent spreading of communicable disease including common cold and flu.

[0021] Teeth structure and oral hygiene of the beautician is affected due to continuous use of this technique while doing hair threading. While using this technique, the beautician teeth and jaws are subjected to continuous pressure resulting into development of protrusion of the teeth and uneven gap between the teeth over the time compromising aesthetics of the beautician. Further, prolonged use of this technique creates oral health problems for beautician. The beautician wearing teeth braces and undergoing teeth treatment cannot perform the hair removal procedure using this technique resulting into long term effect on income and employment. Further, the beautician who has already taken orthodontic treatment in past may face chances of treatment failure. Also, constant holding of the thread in the mouth can cause headaches and sore necks, since holding of the thread is accompanied by clenching of the teeth. The beauticians who practiced the hair threading for removal of facial and eyebrow hair for beatifying others end up with uneven teeth and inferior smile adversely affecting their professional competitiveness.

[0022] Looking to the need for an eyebrow threading and facial hair removal assistance tool that enables a beautician to perform the threading and facial hair removal process without holding the thread in one's mouth, patent publication no. US 2022 / 0015479 Al discloses an eyebrow threading and facial hair removal headband device adapted to support and anchor a thread used during hair removal and eyebrow threading procedures (refer FIG. 3). The said eyebrow threading and facial hair removal headband device comprises of three layers of headbands sewn together along a longitudinal direction; a metal hook positioned such that the metal hook is placed proximal to the forehead of a wearer; the metal hook includes a thread rolled on it to keep the thread taut during the eyebrow threading and facial hair removal procedure. In the eyebrow threading and facial hair removal assistance tool as disclosed in prior art, position of anchoring of thread on the metal hook positioned proximal to the forehead of a wearer remains fix.

[0023] Depending upon whether the beautician is right handed or left handed, position of the face of the client, eyebrow need to be threaded and available surrounding space in the salon for movement of the beautician, there is a requirement for frequent adjustment of anchoring point of the thread on the forehead of the beautician. Adjustment of anchoring point of the thread on the forehead of the beautician helps beautician for setting thread position for better vision. Further, it is time consuming and inconvenient to anchor the new thread from the bobbin kept separately. There is a requirement to have a device that prevents loosening of the thread from the anchoring point due to applicable forces at the time of doing hair threading.
