Abstract
A hairbrush comprises a detachable handle; a metal roller including linear apertures and disposable bristles, and a coupling mechanism allowing the roller to automatically rotate on an axis of rotation when it encounters a tangle during use. A degree of resistance of the roller to rotation varies to correspond to a hair type of the client. A ribbed inner wall of a receiving portion of the roller receives a top portion of the handle. The top portion may have within it prongs and a movable piece inward of the prongs that varies the pressure against rotation of the roller. Ball bearings extend outwardly from the prongs to the ribbed inner wall. Bumps on the prongs keep the handle from detaching from the roller unless an exertion is made. A magnetic attraction between the rollers emplaces the rollers firmly in the hair and allows the brush to be extended.
Description
- The present invention generally relates to apparatus and methods for hair brushes that have removable handles thereby leaving the rollers in the hair, and more particularly, to apparatus and methods that use a coupling mechanism that allows the roller to automatically disentangle from the hair.
- In the field of hairdressing, there is a need to roll hair while the hair is damp and then dry the hair while the hair is in a rolled state. Instead of leaving the brush in the hair after rolling the hair, where the weight of the handle disturbs the curls and discomforts the user, it is known to use hairbrushes with removable handles thereby leaving the roller portion in the hair. U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,502,585, 6,230,716, 6,070,597 and 5,992,423 describe such devices.
- A problem often encountered with these hairbrushes is hair knots. On occasion, the brush runs up against a knot in the hair and the hairdresser must pull hard on the brush. This leads to hair being pulled out and furthermore it causes hair to be entangled in the brush.
- As can be seen, it is therefore useful that there by some way to avoid the hair knot problem while still making use of hairbrushes with detachable rollers.
- Another problem is the structure of the roller itself. Wooden rollers have straight lines of bristles, which is better for brushing the hair. Metal rollers absorb heat in the face of blow driers, which allows the hair rolled onto the metal rollers to be malleable, an advantage when rolling hair. However, the apertures in the metal rollers through which the bristles protrude are spaced randomly, unlike the spacing of bristles in wood rollers. Moreover, the heat damages the bristles and shortens the lifespan of the brush. As can be seen, there is also a need for a roller of a hair brush to have a structure that overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.
- In one aspect of the present invention, there is presented hairbrush for use on hair of a client, comprising a handle; a hair roller including bristles; a coupling mechanism coupling the handle to the hair roller, the coupling mechanism allowing the hair roller to automatically rotate on an axis of rotation when the hair roller encounters a tangle during use of the hairbrush, the coupling mechanism having a setting to vary a degree of resistance to the rotation of the hair roller to correspond to a hair type of the client, wherein the coupling of the hair roller to the handle can be manually overcome to detach the handle from the hair roller.
- In a further aspect of the invention, there is presented a method of rolling hair for one or more clients, comprising setting a position on a hairbrush, the hairbrush comprised of a roller and a handle, the handle having a top portion and prongs, the position determining a resistance to rotation of the roller relative to the handle by determining how tightly the prongs press against a receiving portion of the roller; applying the hairbrush to the hair so that the roller rolls the hair; and rotating the roller relative to the handle when the roller encounters a tangle in the hair.
- In another aspect of the invention, there is presented a hairbrush, comprising a hair roller having a receiving portion; a handle including a top portion and prongs, the prongs having an axially movable element inward of the prongs, the top portion mating with the receiving portion so that when a position of the axially movable element is set in a fully retracted position, the top portion is rotatable inside the receiving portion and when the axially movable element is set in a less than fully retracted position, the top portion is harder to rotate inside the receiving portion, wherein the handle is detachable from the hair roller.
- In still another aspect of the present invention, there is presented a method of using a hairbrush, comprising (a) inserting a bristle assembly into a roller of a hairbrush, the roller having linear apertures, so that the bristles project through the apertures; (b) applying the hairbrush to hair of a person so that the roller rolls the hair and repeating this step (b) until the bristles need to be changed; (c) separating the bristle assembly from the roller for disposal of the bristle assembly; and (d) inserting a new bristle assembly into the roller.
- In a further aspect of the present invention, there is presented an apparatus, comprising a plurality of hair rollers set in position in the hair on a head of a person, each hair roller of the plurality of hair rollers including a first end and a second end, the first end having a first magnet embedded therein, the second end having a second magnet embedded therein, each first magnet having an opposite magnetic charge to each second magnet, the hair rollers of the plurality of hair rollers configured in the hair so that first and second ends of the hair rollers having the same magnetic charge are not so close to one another as to cause a repelling force that moves the hair rollers out of position in the hair.
- These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings, descriptions and claims.

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.
- The present invention generally provides a hairbrush with a handle detachable from the hair roller wherein a coupling mechanism may allow the hair roller to rotate when the hair brush encounters a tangle in the hair and thereby automatically move around or under the tangle. A top portion of the handle may also be able to vary the resistance to the rotation of the hair roller as needed. The coupling mechanism may include a top portion at one end of the handle that may fit into a receiving portion of the roller. The top portion may include prongs extending axially and having fixed ball bearings that may abut an inner wall of the receiving portion of the roller. A movable piece within the prongs may vary the degree to which the prongs press against the inner wall of the receiving portion of the roller thereby allowing different positions of rotational resistance for the handle in relation to the roller. The roller itself may contain a disposable bristle stick and associated bristles that may project through linear apertures in a metal housing of the roller.
- In contrast to the prior art, which does not utilize hair rollers that automatically move around a tangle in the hair, the hairbrush of the present invention may employ a hair roller than may rotate backwards automatically when it encounters a tangle in the hair, thus allowing the roller to roll forward again around the tangle. In further contrast to the prior art, a distal end of the handle may include prongs containing within them a movable piece that may move axially relative to the handle. In contrast to the prior art hair brushes, which are not adjustable to suit different hair types (e.g. with different amounts of delicacy), the hair brush of the present invention may include prongs whose pressure against the inner wall of the roller is variable and adjustable to create different level of resistances to rotation within the roller depending on how fine or curly the client's hair may be. In further contrast to the prior art, wherein the roller is made of wood or made of metal with randomly protruding bristles, the roller of the hairbrush of the present invention may include metal bristles that protrude through substantially linear apertures in the roller. In contrast to the prior art hairbrushes with detachable rollers which utilize clips or pins to hold the hair on the rollers and to hold the rollers together in the hair, the hairbrush of the present invention may employ magnets to hold the various rollers in the hair in place after brushing. In further contrast to prior art hair brushes, in which the entire brush or most of the brush gets thrown away when heat from a nearby blow dryer damages the bristles, which causes hundreds of millions of plastic brushes to be thrown away and damage the environment, in the hairbrush of the present invention the only part that needs to be thrown away when the bristles are used up is the bristles and bristle stick, a huge environmental advantage. In still further contrast to the hairbrushes of the prior art which are not extensible, in certain embodiments the length of the hairbrush of the present invention may be extended by attaching an additional roller(s) to the existing roller and connecting them at their flat sides magnetically.
- As seen from
FIG. 1 , a hairbrush 10 of the present invention may include ahair roller 20.Hair roller 20 may be made of metal and may haveparallel apertures 21 through whichbristles 99 protrude. As seen fromFIG. 7 andFIG. 9 ,apertures 21 may be substantially linear but may have wider ends that may have more circular shapes to facilitate entry and withdrawal of thebristles 99 fromroller 20. As seen fromFIG. 1 andFIG. 7 ,roller 20 may include anend cap 29 having an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder/receivingportion 22 that may be situated in a space or area called a receiving area 22A.Inner cylinder 22 may have an annularmagnetic ring 65 wrapped around it to assist in attracting oneroller 20 to a neighboringroller 20 whenrollers 20 are positioned the hair of a person. - As seen from
FIG. 9 , inner cylinder/receivingportion 22 may be part of anend cap 29. As seen fromFIG. 7 ,roller 20 may also have asecond end cap 129 on its distal end. It is noted that a simple embodiment of the shape of receivingportion 22 may be that of a cylinder, as seen fromFIG. 5 . Nonetheless, the exact shape of receivingportion 22 may vary and is not necessarily limited to that shown in the drawings. - As seen from
FIG. 9 , bristles 99 project from a central bristle bed 99 a or stick 99 a. Accordingly, bristles 99 and bristle bed 99 a may be made of plastic and may be disposable and replaceable with a new set ofbristles 99 on a bristle bed 99 a. The present invention may include many different kinds ofbristles 99, including, metal, plastic or even animal hair. When after significant use of the brush the heat from the blow dryer damages thebristles 99, it is not necessary to throw awayroller 20. Instead, bristle bed 99 a holding bristles 99 is removed and a new bristle bed 99 a and bristles 99 may then be inserted intohair roller 20. This may be a significant environmental advantage since millions of hairbrushes may not need to be thrown away in their entirety when the bristles become damaged, which may happen often. - As seen from
FIGS. 6A and 6B , distal end ofroller 20 may include amagnet 66 embedded therein. In addition, proximal end ofroller 20 may have embedded therein amagnet 66 also. As a result ofmagnet 66 being embedded at the ends of eachroller 20 set in the client's hair,roller 20, while sitting in the client's hair may be magnetically attracted to the outside metal surface of anadjacent roller 20 and/or may be magnetically attracted to the metal surface of an annularmagnetic ring 65 onend cap 29 and/or to the metal surface of receivingportion 22 of anadjacent roller 20. Consequently,rollers 20 can hold on to each other firmly while on the head of a client in an organized and tight manner without a clip and may be less likely to be disturbed by the emplacement of other rollers or by brushing. In certain embodiments, the ends ofrollers 20 may be of different colors or may have other differing visual cues that signify to the user which end ofroller 20 is a positive charge versus a negative magnetic charge so that therollers 20 can be emplaced in a pattern in the hair of a client in a manner that keeps them in place effectively. - Hairbrush 10 may also include a
handle 30 that may be detachable fromroller 20 to allowroller 20 to remain set in the hair of the client.Handle 30 may be detached fromhair roller 20 by pullinghandle 30 androller 20 away from one another to overcome the force of a coupling mechanism coupling handle 30 toroller 20. In the alternative, handle 30 may also be detached fromroller 20 by other means known to those in the art. - As seen from
FIG. 10 andFIGS. 1-3 , handle 30 may include atop portion 30A. Inward oftop portion 30A may beprongs 32, for example fourprongs 32 which may be equidistantly spaced across a range of 360 rotational degrees. It should be appreciated that the number ofprongs 32 may vary above or below four. For example, there may be eightprongs 32. The exact shape ofprongs 32 may vary and is not limited to that shown inFIG. 10 . -
Top portion 30A may be operatively engaged toinner wall 23 of receiving portion by means ofball bearings 50.Ball bearings 50 may be visible fromoutside handle 20 and may be in contact withinner wall 23 of receivingportion 22 ofroller 20. As best seen fromFIG. 5 ,top portion 30A ofhandle 30 may have apertures forball bearings 50 to project through and contactinner wall 23 of receivingportion 22. In addition,top portion 30A may also have apertures forbumps 111 to protrude through to fit intogroove 28 in receivingportion 22. Further,ball bearings 50 may sit in an indentation or aperture on the surface ofprongs 32, may traverse a clearance betweenprongs 32 andtop portion 30A ofhandle 30 and may further traversetop portion 30A and any clearance betweentop portion 30A and receivingportion 22. - As seen from
FIG. 10 , handle 30 may include amovable piece 40 inside (i.e. inward) ofprongs 32, whichpiece 40 may be movable axially withinprongs 32 as a result of a user grasping and dragging or pulling anactuator 36 which may be integrally connected to piece 40. For example,actuator 36 may be a textured outer surface ofpiece 40 accessible throughhousing slot 36 a, as seen inFIG. 8 andFIG. 11 , or may include a simple knob accessible to the user.Movable piece 40 may be a cylinder. - As seen from
FIG. 1 ,actuator 36 may be any well known means for causing the setting of the tightness ofprongs 32 againstball bearings 50 and againstinner wall 23 of receivingportion 22 ofroller 20 for example by controlling the sliding ofmovable piece 40 insideprongs 32 oftop portion 30A ofhandle 30. For example, as seen fromFIG. 11 ,actuator 36 may be asimple knob 36 projecting perpendicularly outward fromhandle 30 sufficiently so thathousing 31 of handle acts as a stopping mechanism limiting movement ofactuator 36. Alternatively,actuator 36 may be a bump projecting perpendicularly from a prong ofprongs 32.Actuator 36 may be accessible to the user throughhousing 31 ofhandle 30, for example through a space inhousing 31 ofhandle 30, as seen inFIG. 11 .Actuator 36 may be used to adjust the axial position ofmovable piece 40, for example by moving or pullingactuator 36 with the user's finger, for example during use of hairbrush 10. - As seen from
FIGS. 1-3 andFIG. 10 ,movable piece 40 may slide throughprongs 32 ofhandle 30 by means of a simple friction fit that allows enough clearance for such sliding. Any other suitable means for accomplishing the axial movement ofpiece 40 through prongs insidetop portion 30A ofhandle 30 may be used. For example, springs may be used withinhandle 30 to control sliding motion ofpiece 40. -
Top portion 30A ofhandle 30 may mate with the receivingportion 22 so that whenmovable piece 40 is in a retracted position, as seen inFIG. 1 , receivingportion 22 of roller 20 (androller 20 in general) may be rotatable with respect to handle 30, and in particular with respect totop portion 30A ofhandle 30. Whenmovable piece 40 is in an extended position, as seen inFIG. 3 , receiving portion 22 (androller 20 in general) may not be rotatable with respect to handle 30. Whenmovable piece 40 is in an intermediate position, for example in a partially retracted and partially extended position, as seen inFIG. 2 ,roller 20 may be rotatable but with greater resistance to rotation than whenmovable piece 40 is in a fully retracted position. In all, the more retractedmovable piece 40 may be, the easier it may be to rotateroller 20 with respect to handle 30 (or handle 30 with respect to roller 20). - As best appreciated from
FIG. 10 , the reason for the changes in resistance to rotation of receivingportion 22 ofroller 20 with respect to handle 30 may be that thedistal end 32 a ofprongs 32 may be more flexible than the proximal end 32 b ofprongs 32 due todistal end 32 a ofprongs 32 being further away from thebase 33 ofprongs 32. The present invention may exploit this differential in flexibility with the use ofball bearings 50 that may allow a sliding axial movement ofmovable piece 40 to vary the pressure ofprongs 32 againstinner wall 23 ofroller 20 transmitted by means ofball bearings 50. -
Ball bearings 50 ofhandle 30 may allowtop portion 30A ofhandle 30 containingprongs 32 to rotate with respect to receivingportion 22 ofroller 20. As seen fromFIG. 1 ,FIG. 6A ,FIG. 6B andFIG. 10 ,ball bearings 50 may be in contact withinner wall 23 of receivingportion 22 ofroller 20. Accordingly, whenmovable piece 40 is adjacent the flexibledistal end 32 a ofprongs 32, it is harder to rotateroller 20 with respect to handle 30 (or handle 30 with respect to roller 20). In contrast, whenmovable piece 40 is in fully retracted position, as inFIG. 1 ,FIG. 2 ,FIG. 3 ,FIG. 6A andFIG. 6B , a tangle which represents a force counteracting the motion of brush 10 during use may allow an automatic counter-rotation ofroller 20 in relation totop portion 30A ofhandle 30, thereby going around the tangle. In contrast, when the tightness ofprongs 32 is set to its maximum, for example whenmovable piece 40 is in fully extended position, as seen inFIG. 3 ,roller 20 cannot rotate. - Preferably, as seen from
FIGS. 1-3 , there may be aball bearing 50 for each prong ofprongs 32. There may also be a second set of ball bearings on one ormore prongs 32 that may be further away fromroller 20 than the first set ofball bearings 50. Theseadditional ball bearings 50 may serve to further stabilize the attachment and operative rotational engagement ofhandle 30 toroller 20. - As seen from
FIG. 1 , receivingportion 22 may have ahollow groove 28 that may permit forced entry and forced exit ofbumps 111 that may be located at a distal end ofprongs 32 withintop portion 30A ofhandle 30.Bumps 111 may also be viewed more broadly to encompass acontinuous flange 111.Groove 28 andbumps 111 may help stabilize attachment ofhandle 30 to receivingportion 22 ofroller 20. -
Top portion 30A ofhandle 30 may be fixed axially withinhandle 30 partly by means ofbumps 111 andgroove 28. Ball bearings 50 (including any optional second set of ball bearings) may be fixed relative to handle 30. As seen fromFIG. 1 , when it may be desired to detach handle 30 fromroller 20, an axial force, such as a manual pull, may successfully forcetop portion 30A ofhandle 30 out ofgroove 28 of receivingportion 22 ofroller 20 to separate handle 30 fromroller 20. - In an alternative embodiment, there may be more than one set of
ball bearings 50 for eachprong 32. The position ofball bearings 50 withintop portion 30A ofhandle 30 may vary and may be closer or farther from the distal end of top portion (the end close to roller 20) that is shown in the drawings. - The inner diameter of receiving
portion 22 ofroller 20 may be sized and shaped to accommodate an outer diameter of thetop portion 30A ofhandle 30 inserted in receivingportion 22, and there may be a clearance between receivingportion 22 andtop portion 30A to accommodateball bearings 50 ofhandle 30. Inner diameter of receivingportion 22 may be slightly larger than the outer diameter so that a small clearance may exist between receivingportion 22 and the top portion ofhandle 30, thereby allowinghandle 30 to fit intoroller 20. As seen fromFIG. 4 , receivingportion 22 may have aninner wall 23.Inner wall 23 of receivingportion 22 may haveribs 23 a to control the rotation ofball bearings 50 oftop portion 30A ofhandle 30.Ribs 23 a may exist substantially throughout an entire length of receivingportion 22, although preferablyribs 23 a may be interrupted in the area ofgroove 28 so as to allow a smooth surface alonggroove 28, as seen inFIG. 6A andFIG. 6B . - The
top portion 30A ofhandle 30 and everything inside it includingprongs 32,movable piece 40 andball bearings 50, together with the receivingportion 22 ofroller 20 includinginner wall 23 andribs 23 a, may be said to form acoupling mechanism 100 coupling handle 30 tohair roller 20. Thiscoupling mechanism 100 may allowhair roller 20 to automatically rotate on an axis of rotation whenhair roller 20 encounters a tangle during use of hairbrush 10. The axis of rotation may be parallel to a length ofhair roller 20. Generally, as seen fromFIG. 1 andFIG. 9 , handle 30 may be substantially parallel to the axis of rotation. -
Coupling mechanism 100 may include a setting to vary a degree of resistance to the rotation of thehair roller 20 to correspond to the hair type of the client. This setting may comprise or may be controlled by axiallymovable piece 40.Movable piece 40 may project throughhousing 31 ofhandle 30 so as to be accessible and controllable by a user.Actuator 36 orknob 36 may allowmovable piece 40 to move axially relative toprongs 32, which may cause the degree of resistance to the rotation ofhair roller 20 to vary. Such degree of rotation may be chosen to correspond to a hair type of the client. -
Coupling mechanism 100 may include receivingportion 22 having ribbedinner wall 23 and may includeball bearings 50 situated betweenprongs 32 ofhandle 30 and ribbedinner wall 23 of receivingportion 22, the receivingportion 22 located at a proximal end of thehair roller 20. -
Handle 30 may be detached fromhair roller 20 by pulling them apart to overcome the axial force of thecoupling mechanism 100. - In certain embodiments, receiving
portion 22 may itself be or may contain a magnet. Ifprongs 32 are metallic, a magnetic attraction may exist betweenprongs 32 and all or a part of the receivingportion 22. However, the main purpose ofmagnetic ring 65 around receivingportion 22 may be to increase attraction betweenrollers 20 which may be metal. - As can be seen from
FIG. 1 andFIG. 8 ,hair roller 20 may include bristles 99.Bristles 99 ofhair roller 20 may be disposable. For example, as seen fromFIG. 8 , thebristles 99 plus the bristle stick (bristle bed) 99 a that may hold thebristles 99 may be separated from thehousing 24 ofroller 20.Hair roller 20 may be metal and may have parallellinear apertures 21 through which bristles 99 protrude. - As seen from
FIG. 6A andFIG. 6B , in certain embodiments, hairbrush 10 may include amagnetic pin 77 at the proximal end of the handle in stored position. The magnetic nature ofpin 77 helps in storage. As seen fromFIG. 6B magnetic pin 77 may be available for use in parting the client's hair. - In certain embodiments, as seen in
FIG. 11A andFIG. 11B ,roller 20 may be extensible by adding asecond roller 20B to afirst roller 20A. Thusroller 20 may comprise afirst roller 20A and asecond roller 20B, and may even comprise a third (not shown) and subsequent rollers (not shown). This lengthens brush 10.First roller 20A andsecond roller 20B may be aligned linearly and held together magnetically, as shown inFIG. 11A , at their flat sides. This may allow the user to make one straight comb-through of a length of the client's hair in a smooth manner and shortens the total time needed to work with the hair. This is particularly valuable for controlling the hair of clients with long hair by taking a larger amount of hair at one time.First roller 20A andsecond roller 20B may be identical so that first andsecond roller portion 22 may be omitted fromsecond roller 20B sincehandle 30 may not need to be attached tosecond roller 20B. In this case, however,second roller 20B may still includeannular magnet ring 65 and/ormagnet 66 so thatfirst roller 20A andsecond roller 20B may be aligned linearly and held together magnetically. - As seen from
FIG. 12 , the present invention also describes an apparatus comprising a collection of hair rollers set in position in thehair 69 on the head of a person. Theserollers 20 may have been placed in the hair after being detached from handle of brushes or may have been placed there in other ways. As seen inFIG. 12 , eachhair roller 20 of the plurality of hair rollers may be cylindrical and may have a first end and a second end. The first end of eachroller 20 may have afirst magnet 67 a embedded therein and the second end of therollers 20 may have asecond magnet 67 b embedded therein.

Thetop portion 30A ofhandle 30 may be operatively engaged to theroller 20. -
Method 100 may also include astep 120 of applying the hairbrush 10 to the hair so that theroller 20 rolls the hair.Method 100 may further include astep 130 of rotating the roller relative to the handle when the roller encounters a tangle in the hair. Finally,method 100 may further include an additional step 140 of detaching thehandle 30 from theroller 20 to allow theroller 20 to remain in the hair. - As seen from
FIG. 14 , the present invention may also be viewed as amethod 200 of using a hairbrush, such as the hairbrush 10 described above.Method 200 may include a step (a) shown inbox 210 ofFIG. 13 of inserting abristle assembly 99B (comprising bristles 99 plus bristle stick 99 a) into aroller 20 of a hairbrush 10, theroller 20 havinglinear apertures 21, so that thebristles 99 project through theapertures 21.Method 200 may also include step (b) shown inbox 220 ofFIG. 13 of applying the hairbrush to hair of a person so that theroller 20 rolls the hair of the person in a manner known in the art.Method 200 may also include astep 230 of removing thehandle 30 so that theroller 20 may detach from thehandle 30 and remain in the hair of the person.Method 200 may include afurther step 240 of removing the roller from the hair and afurther step 250 of attaching thehandle 30 to theroller 20. In accordance withmethod 200, astep 260 involves repeating the steps shown inboxes 220 through 240 (i.e. applying the hairbrush . . . removing the handle . . . and removing the roller from the hair . . . ) until the bristles need to be changed. Further,method 200 may include afurther step 270 of separating thebristle assembly 99B from theroller 20 for disposal of thebristle assembly 99B.Method 200 may still further include astep 280 of inserting anew bristle assembly 99B into theroller 20. - 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.
