(13) Turning our attention initially to
(14) The intermediary board 104 further comprises a third surface 112 (i.e., top surface) and a fourth surface 114 (i.e., bottom surface) with the third surface 112 having a second plurality of protrusions comprised by protrusions 124 and protrusions 126, respectively, affixed thereto and extending outwardly therefrom, the third surface 112 being opposite to and separated from the fourth surface 114 by a second thickness (i.e., thickness T.sub.2 138) of the intermediary board 104. The fourth surface 114 having a fourth plurality of protrusions comprised by protrusions 128 and protrusions 130, respectively, affixed thereto and extending outwardly therefrom. Protrusions 124 and protrusions 126 of the third plurality of protrusions are separated by a defined separation 162 on the third surface 112, and protrusions 128 and protrusions 130 of the fourth plurality of protrusions are separated by a defined separation 166. Of course, this is only one of many possible configurations of the third and fourth plurality of protrusions that may include a separation but the separation is optional, and either or both of the third and fourth plurality of protrusions may not have any separation on the third surface 112 and/or the fourth surface 114 of the intermediary board 104 such that the third plurality of protrusions and/or the fourth plurality of protrusions may not have any separation on the third surface 112 and/or the fourth surface 114 and encompass substantially the entirety of the respective surfaces of the intermediary board 104.
(15) The lower board 106 further comprises a fifth surface 116 (i.e., a top surface) and a sixth surface 118 (i.e., a bottom surface). The sixth surface 118 serves as a base for the hair extensions organizing system 100 for placement on any flat surface (e.g., table 168 as shown in
(16) In the embodiment shown, the upper board 102, the intermediary board 104 and the lower board 106 are each configured in a substantially rectangular shape. As will be appreciated, other shapes and sizes may be utilized consistent with the principles of the disclose embodiments. The first plurality of protrusions comprised by the protrusions 120 and 122, the second plurality of protrusions comprised by the protrusions 124 and 126, the third plurality of protrusions comprised by the protrusion 128 and 130 and the fourth plurality of protrusions comprised by the protrusions 132 and 134 are configured such that individual protrusions are of substantially equal size and shape (e.g., comb teeth) and share a common/same configuration. In an embodiment, the first plurality of protrusions, the second plurality of protrusions, the third plurality of protrusions and the fourth plurality of protrusions are teeth-like protrusions. In an embodiment, the first plurality of protrusions, the second plurality of protrusions, the third plurality of protrusions and the fourth plurality of protrusions are made of a high-strength, heat resistant metal material (e.g., stainless steel or aluminum). In another aspect, the first plurality of protrusions, the second plurality of protrusions, the third plurality of protrusions and the fourth plurality of protrusions are made of a high-strength, heat resistant plastic material (e.g., thermosets, thermoplastics, or carbon fiber). Further, as noted above, in the subject embodiment each of the first plurality of protrusions, the second plurality of protrusions, the third plurality of protrusions and the fourth plurality of protrusions are separated into two respective equal sets of protrusions (i.e., the protrusions 120 and 122, the protrusions 124 and 126, the protrusions 128 and 130, and the protrusions 132 and 134). As shown for example in
(17) Turning our attention to
(18) This is further illustrated in
(19) In a second implementation, a hair extension application method is provided, the hair extension application comprising: providing a hair extensions organizing system configured to hold one or more plurality of hair extensions securely in place while awaiting dispensing from the hair extensions organizing system and application to an individual's head; placing the one or more plurality of hair extensions into the hair extensions organizing system; removing the one or more plurality of hair extensions from the hair extensions organizing system for applying the one or more plurality of hair extension to the individual's head. The hair extensions organizing system being provided in accordance with the foregoing operations configures in accordance with the hair extensions organizing system 100, as detailed herein above.
(20) Advantageously, the disclosed embodiments herein provide for a hair extensions organizing system that is lightweight and may be assembled/disassembled quickly thereby providing for ease of use and transportability. The hair extensions organizing system, as facilitated by the interlocking of the plurality of boards, provides for a multi-level structure for the hair extension system is configured to hold one or more plurality of hair extensions securely in place while awaiting dispensing from the hair extension system and application to an individual's head. The one or more plurality of hair extensions are placed into and held in place by the hair extensions organizing system thereby facilitating removing the one or more plurality of hair extensions from the hair extensions organizing system for applying the one or more plurality of hair extension to the individual's head. In this way, the hair extensions organizing system and method ensure there is no gathering, entangling, snagging, and/or damaging of the one or more plurality of hair extension prior to application to the individual's head thereby allowing for an extremely efficient and repeatable application of the hair extensions.
(21) Since many modifications, variations, and changes in detail can be made to the described preferred embodiments of the invention, it is intended that all matters in the foregoing description and shown in the accompanying drawings be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
