Flexi hair curler

Abstract

A one-piece flexible hair curler assembly used for day and night use comprising a collapsible body, elongated extensions at right angles on its distal ends with attached protuberances that hold the assembly securely in place. The flexi hair curler assembly is fabricated of lightweight, moisture and heat resistant, flexible material including silicone. To use, the appendages are flexed away from the curler body as the hair is wound around the core. After reaching the desired position, the appendages are released, and the protuberances hold the apparatus in place without the aid of additional hair fasteners or clips. The curler molds to the wearer's head and scalp for maximum comfort while remaining secure to facilitate the setting of curls in the hair. Unlike other hair curlers or rollers, the flexible curler system is comfortable, secure and cost effective.

Claims

1. A flexible hair curler assembly for day and night use consisting of: a generally hollow, cylindrical, elongated core body; vented openings along lateral surfaces of the core; elongated rectangular-shaped appendages situated at distal ends of the core capable of movement in a plurality of positions; said elongated rectangular-shaped appendages having attached cylindrical-shaped protuberances at right angles situated parallel to the core; and said flexible hair curler assembly fabricated from a lightweight, moisture resistant, flexible material including silicone.

2. The flexible hair curler assembly as described in claim 1, further comprising a specified space and size.

3. The flexible hair curler assembly as described in claim 1, wherein said cylindrical-shaped protuberances being of lesser width and length than the core body and rectangular-shaped appendages.

4. The flexible hair curler assembly as described in claim 1, a one-piece hair curler exhibiting a specified shape and size, said rectangular-shaped appendages extending from distal ends of the curler and associated said cylindrical-shaped protuberances that flex to accommodate hair being wound on the core body before release to secure it in place.

Description

(1) Reference will now be made to the attached drawings, when read in combination with the following detailed description, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views, and in which:

(2) FIG. 1 shows a side view of the current invention with its one-piece cylindrical body, elongated appendages at right angles on its distal ends with attached flexible protuberances parallel to the body.

(3) FIG. 2 illustrates a northwest angled view of the present invention comprising the cylindrical body, distal appendages at right angles with attached protuberances affixed parallel to the body.

(4) FIG. 3 illustrates a northeast angled view of the current invention comprising the one-piece cylindrical body, distal appendages at right angles with attached protuberances affixed parallel to the body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION AND BEST MODE OF IMPLEMENTATION

(5) Referring to FIGS. 1-3 in combination, a series of perspective views of the Flexi Hair Curler are illustrated. As described previously, the current one-piece invention is collapsible and flexible to promote comfortable wear night or day, repels water to encourage hair drying, smooth edges resist hair damage, allowing heat to pass through the hollow core. The flexible hair curler assembly comprising: a generally hollow, cylindrical body, noted as [1], having elongated appendages oriented at the distal ends, noted as [2] and [4], small holes [6] along the core, to allow for passage of water and heat, and capable of movement in a plurality of positions. said elongated appendages, [2] and [4], having protuberances, noted as [3] and [5], at right angles on the lateral surfaces parallel to the body; and said flexible curler assembly fabricated from a lightweight, flexible material including silicone, which embodies characteristics such as flexibility, durability, and resistance to heat degradation and water absorption.

(6) The cylindrical, flexible body collapses to mold to the wearer's hair and head. To use, the flexible appendages at the distal ends, [2] and [4], of the curler body including the attached protuberances, [3] and [5], are flexed away from the roller body [1] as the hair is wound around the core and released when the desired position is reached. The protuberances, [3] and [5], hold the flexible hair curler securely in place.

(7) Some other roller designs use stiff rods that pull or stretch the hair during overnight use causing discomfort or hair damage. Additionally, some designs require clips and fasteners that may be uncomfortable for night use or fail to securely hold the hair in place over a longer period.
