The present invention relates to storage devices and, more particularly, to a storage device for weave and extension hair.
Currently, there is no device that allows for a person to store a weave, extension hair, weft or the like in good condition while not in use. People will place these items in a drawer, or in a bag, which destroys the products over time. When in these locations, the extension hair or the like can become tangled, and take additional time to prepare when using again.
As can be seen, there is a need for a storage device for weave and extension hair that keeps the hair in good condition while not in use.
In one aspect of the present invention, a storage device for weave and extension hair comprises: a body having downwardly curved arm portions extending in opposite directions from a central portion and a hook shaped suspending member, wherein the body has a plurality of nook sections; and a plurality of cords having a first end and a second end, wherein the plurality of cords are secured along the plurality of nook sections.
In another aspect of the present invention, a method for maintaining extension hair when not in use comprises: placing a hair attachment piece through a loop made from a cord of a storage device, wherein the storage device is defined as having a body having downwardly curved arm portions extending in opposite directions from a central portion and a hook shaped suspending member, wherein the body has a plurality of nook sections; and a plurality of cords having a first end and a second end, wherein the plurality of cords are secured along the plurality of nook sections.
These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings, description and claims.
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.
Broadly, an embodiment of the present invention provides a storage device for hair attachment pieces such as a weave and extension hair that may include a body having downwardly curved arm portions extending in opposite directions from a central portion and a hook shaped suspending member. The body may have a plurality of nook sections. A plurality of cords having a first end and a second end may be secured along the plurality of nook sections.
As is illustrated in
In certain embodiments, the plurality of cords 12 may be secured by a plurality of cord stops 18. The cord stops 18 may include a stop housing 20. Each stop housing 20 may hold a stop spring 24, and a stop post 22 having a stop post hole 28. The stop housing 20 may have a housing slot 26 and an opening 30. In certain embodiments, the housing slot 26 may be along a side of the stop housing 20. In certain embodiments, the opening 30 may be along a top side through to a bottom side of the stop housing 20. The stop post 22 may extend out from the housing slot 26. The first end of the cord 12 may be placed on one side of the body, and the second end may be placed on another side of the body producing a loop 14. The first end of the cord 12 and the second end of the cord 12 may be placed through the stop housing opening 30 after the cord 12 has be placed around the body 10.
A method of using the storage device may include the following. A hair attachment piece 34 such as a hair extension, a weave, or the like, may be placed within the loop 14 of the cord 12. Once a section of the hair attachment piece 34 may be through the loop 14 of the cord 12, the cord stop 18 may be used. The cord stop 18 may be moved up along the cord 12 to tighten the loop 14. Tightening the loop 14 may allow the hair attachment piece 34 to be secured in place within the loop 14. The rest of the hair attachment piece 34 may be allowed to fall below the body of the storage device, keeping the hair attachment piece 34 in a useable position. The length of the hair attachment piece 34 may be free so that the hair may not be damaged while not in use. The storage device may then be placed in a closet or against the back of a door resting on a hook, a rack or the like.
It should be understood, of course, that the foregoing relates to exemplary embodiments of the invention and that modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application No. 61/927,803, filed Jan. 15, 2014, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
