The present disclosure relates to a hair extender.
Hair extension is to extend hair to real hair of a user, so as to achieve an instantaneous change from short hair into long hair. Currently, the manner of hair extension is gluing or stringing. The hair extension by gluing is that a hairdresser applies glue on real hair, and then bonds wig with a little of real hair. The hair extension by stringing is that a hairdresser manually twines the wig on a little of real hair. However, the above manner of gluing or stringing relies on the hairdresser's manual operation. Thus, the workload is large, the time and energy is wasted, and the fixing effect is poor. There is in the market no special tool for performing the above operation in batches.

In order to better understand the working principle of the hair extender, a structure of a hair extension clip is introduced herein.
The hair extension clip comprises a C-shaped buckle 10 and a fixing pin 11. An outer wall of the C-shaped buckle 10 is provided with a rabbet 10a communicated with an inner hole, and a fixing ring 10b is extended from a lower end of the C-shaped buckle 10, wig being connected to the fixing ring 10b. The fixing pin 11 is fitted with the inner hole of the C-shaped buckle 10, an upper sidewall of the fixing pin 11 is provided with a limiting bulge 11a fitted with the rabbet 10a of the C-shaped buckle 10, and an upper end surface of the fixing pin 11 is provided with an assembly hole 11b matched with the mounting rod 5a of the transmission pressing plate.
During usage, ten hair extension clips are mounted on the ten mounting rods 5a of the transmission pressing plate, respectively, and each of the mounting rod 5a is fitted with the fixing pin 11 of each of the hair extension clip.
The handle 6 is operated to drive the transmission plate body 4 of the transmission pressing plate to move downwards, so that the hair extension clip fixed on the pressing plate body 5 is driven to move downwards, and the C-shaped buckle 10 of the hair extension clip contacts the first limiting boss 7b of the buckle plate 7. Since the projection position of the first limiting recess 7c on the horizontal plane is slightly more right than the projection position of corresponding first clamping recess 1d on the horizontal plane, the mounting rod 5a is inclined proximal to drive the whole hair extension clip to deviate proximal by a small displacement and enter a clamping cavity formed by the first clamping boss 1c of the main plate 1 and the second clamping boss 2a of the push rod 2, until the C-shaped buckle 10 of the hair extension clip fully enters the clamping cavity, and then the mounting rod 5a returns to the initial vertical state under a stress of itself.
The handle 6 is released so as to move the sliding block 4a of the transmission plate body 4 upwards under the action of the hair fixing assembly, so that the hair extension clip is driven to move upwards, and the C-shaped buckle 10 of the hair extension clip abuts against a lower end surface of the first limiting boss 7b, and cannot move upwards along with the pressing plate body 5, so that the C-shaped buckle 10 of the hair extension clip is separated from the fixing pin 11.
Next, real hair is placed in the C-shaped buckle 10 of the hair extension clip. The handle 6 is operated again to drive the transmission plate body 4 of the transmission pressing plate to move downwards; the hair fixing assembly is fitted with the sliding block 4a of the transmission plate body 4; the displacement bulge 8f of the moving block 8d and the displacement bulge 8f of the second fixing block 8c move on the left and right sidewalls of the sliding block 4a, respectively; since the chamfers are formed between the bottom block surface and the left and right end surfaces of the sliding block 4a, respectively, the distance between the moving block 8d and the second fixing block 8c is increasingly larger; the hair fixing spring 8b of the hair fixing assembly is extruded by the moving block 8d; the hair fixing spring 8b clamps the real hair placed in the C-shaped buckle 10; meanwhile, the mounting rod 5a of the transmission pressing plate drives the fixing pin 11 of the hair extension clip to move downwards; a lower end surface of the C-shaped buckle 10 abuts against an upper end surface of the second limiting boss 7d to ensure that the C-shaped buckle 10 does not move along with the fixing pin 11, until the fixing pin 11 fully enters the C-shaped buckle 10, thereby completing the hair extension operation.
In addition, if the hair extension clip used in the hair extension operation is a reutilized hair extension clip, the opening angle of the C-shaped buckle 10 will be too large. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the C-shaped buckle 10 having too large an opening angle to be tightly fitted with the fixing pin 11 again. In that case, the connection rod 9b of the reutilization assembly is pressed down, so that the connection rod 9b runs through the push rod 2 and enters the waist-shaped hole 4c of the sliding block 4a; at the same time of the above normal hair extension operation, the push rod 2 moves distal under the action of the sliding block 4a, i.e., the second clamping recess 2b of the push rod 2 moves distal to urge the C-shaped buckle 10 in the clamping cavity to be deformed by force and recovered into a state fitted with the fixing pin 11, so as to complete the reutilization of the hair extension clip.
As illustrated in
In addition, as illustrated in
The fixing ring 10b′ is a hook-shaped structure, with one end fixedly connected to an outer wall of the C-shaped buckle 10, and the other end bent towards and clings to the outer wall of the C-shaped buckle 10, so as to form an inner hole 10b1′ capable of hanging bunched wig upper end connecting strings between the fixing ring 10b′ and the outer wall of the C-shaped buckle 10.
In this example, referring to
In the present disclosure, the number of the first clamping bosses 1c, the second clamping bosses 2a, the first limiting bosses 7b or the second limiting bosses 7d is not limited to ten, and any other number may also be selected upon the actual operation demand, which is not restricted herein.
The above descriptions just illustrate one embodiment of the present disclosure. It shall be pointed out that many modifications and improvements can be made by a person skilled in the art without deviating from the principle of the present disclosure, and those modifications and improvements shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
