Various types of hair extension devices are known in the prior art. However, what has been needed is a hair extension sewing device including a base, an opening, a needle, a hook, a pair of curved hook extenders, a pair of grips, a thumb controller, an activation control, and a motor. What has further been needed is for the thumb controller to have a selectively activated position. The thumb controller is in the activated position when a user applies a downward pressure to the thumb controller. Lastly, what has been needed is for the hook to be configured to create a loop in a thread when the thumb controller is in the activated position. The needle is also configured to stitch the thread through a hair extension when the thumb controller is in the activated position. The hair extension sewing device enables a user to avoid the time and effort that is required to sew in a hair extension by hand. Instead, a user can now quickly and efficiently utilize the hair extension sewing device to sew in hair extensions at home or in a salon.
The present invention relates to hair extension devices, and more particularly, to a hair extension sewing device.
The general purpose of the present hair extension sewing device, described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a hair extension device which has many novel features that result in a hair extension sewing device which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by prior art, either alone or in combination thereof.
To accomplish this, the present hair extension sewing device comprises a base. The base comprises an upper handle and a lower handle. Each of the upper handle and the lower handle has a front side, a back side, a top side, and a bottom side. The bottom side of the upper handle proximal the back side is hingedly attached to the top side of the lower handle proximal the back side. The base is optionally steel. An opening is continuously disposed between the bottom side of the upper handle and the top side of the lower handle from proximal the back side of each of the upper handle and the lower handle to the front side of each of the upper handle and the lower handle. A needle is disposed on the bottom side of the upper handle proximal the front side. A hook is continuously disposed through the lower handle from the front side of the lower handle to the top side of the lower handle. The hook has an upper edge and a lower edge. The upper edge of the hook is angularly disposed above the top side of the lower handle proximal the needle. The lower edge of the hook is disposed proximal the front side of the lower handle.
A pair of curved hook extenders comprises a top hook extender and a bottom hook extender. Each of the top hook extender and the bottom hook extender has a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface of the top hook extender and the top surface of the bottom hook extender are collinearly disposed on the top side of the upper handle proximal the front side and the bottom side of the lower handle proximal the front side, respectively. A pair of grips comprises an upper grip and a lower grip. Each of the upper grip and the lower grip has a top edge and a bottom edge. The bottom edge of the upper grip is medially disposed on the top side of the upper handle. The top edge of the lower grip is medially disposed on the bottom side of the lower handle. The pair of grips is optionally rubberized.
A concave thumb controller is disposed on the top edge of the upper grip. The thumb controller is optionally rubberized. An activation control is disposed on the base. A motor is disposed within the base. A power connector is attached to the base and a power source. The thumb controller, the activation control, the motor, the power source, the hook, and the needle are in operational communication with each other. The thumb controller has a selectively activated position. The thumb controller is in the activated position when a user applies a downward pressure to the thumb controller. The hook is configured to create a loop in a thread when the thumb controller is in the activated position. The needle is configured to stitch the thread through a hair extension when the thumb controller is in the activated position. Each of the pair of hook extenders is configured to protect the user's head from injury.
The hair extension sewing device can optionally further comprise a C-shaped hanging hook. The hanging hook has a top end and a bottom end. The top end is disposed on the back side of the upper handle. The bottom end is disposed on the back side of the lower handle.
Thus has been broadly outlined the more important features of the present hair extension sewing device so that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated.
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular
Referring to
A pair of curved hook extenders 44 comprises a top hook extender 46 and a bottom hook extender 48. Each of the top hook extender 46 and the bottom hook extender 48 has a top surface 50 and a bottom surface 52. As best shown in
A concave thumb controller 64 is disposed on the top edge 60 of the upper grip 56. An activation control 66 is disposed on the base 20. A motor 68 is disposed within the base 20. A power connector 71 is attached to the base 20 and a power source 73. As best shown in
The hair extension sewing device can optionally further comprise a C-shaped hanging hook 74. The hanging hook 74 has a top end 76 and a bottom end 78. The top end 76 is disposed on the back side 28 of the upper handle 22. The bottom end 78 disposed on the back side 28 of the lower handle 24.
