| 摘要 | In a wig or other hair structure of wefted construction, each weft of hair is secured to one longitudinal edge of a flexible ribbon. The opposite longitudinal edge portion of the ribbon is attached to the base of the structure, the ribbon having sufficient width between the weft and the points of attachment to provide a flexible hinge support for the weft of hair to thereby permit free movement of the hair with the ribbon in directions transversely of the length of the ribbon. With ribbons disposed on the base in generally parallel relationship to one another, reversibility in the lay of the hair is provided. Besides the basic weft-ribbon configuration, double weft, stacked weft, loop and star configurations are disclosed, and special double ribbon embodiments for providing a line of hair concentration at a part. | ||||||
| 权利要求 | 1. In a hair structure: a base; hair material overlying said base and including a flexible ribbon presenting a longitudinal edge, and a number of strands of hair having root portions secured to said ribbon adjacent said edge; and means attaching said ribbon to said base at points of attachment spaced from said edge and the root portions of said strands a sufficient distance to provide a flexible hinge support for said strands permitting free movement thereof with said ribbon about said points of attachment in directions transversely of the length of said ribbon. 2. In the hair structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein is provided a plurality of pieces of said hair material, said attaching means securing the ribbons of said pieces to said base in generally parallel relationship with one another, whereby to provide reversibility in the lay of the hair in said transverse directions. 3. In the hair structure as claimed in claim 2, wherein said base has a pair of opposed side portions and a central portion extending front-to-back between said side portions, said central portion presenting an area which overlies the crown region of a wearer''s head when the hair structure is worn, and wherein said ribbons extend laterally across said base at least throughout said area thereof, whereby to provide the hair structure with front-to-back reversibility. 4. In the hair structure as claimed in claim 3, wherein said area of the base includes a plurality of generally parallel foundation strips extending front-to-back, and wherein said attaching means secures said ribbons to the underlying strips at the intersections thereof. 5. In the hair structure as claimed in claim 2, wherein said base has a pair of opposed side margins, and wherein said ribbons extend laterally across said base between said margins, whereby to providE the hair structure with front-to-back reversibility. 6. In the hair structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein said ribbon has a stretch thereof where the ribbon is laid over upon itself to present a pair of side-by-side ribbon parts, there being means joining said parts together with facing surfaces thereof in contact along substantially the length of said stretch, whereby to increase the hair concentration along said stretch. 7. In the hair structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein said ribbon has a portion thereof presenting a loop, whereby to provide a cluster of hair. 8. In the hair structure as claimed in claim 7, wherein said loop presents a pair of opposed ends, said attaching means securing said loop to said base exclusively at points of attachment adjacent said ends. 9. In the hair structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein said ribbon presents a pair of opposed major surfaces, and wherein said number of strands of hair comprises a pair of wefts secured to respective surfaces of said ribbon adjacent said edge. 10. In the hair structure as claimed in claim 9, wherein said ribbon has a portion thereof presenting a loop, whereby to provide a cluster of hair. 11. In the hair structure as claimed in claim 9, wherein said ribbon comprises a plurality of loops radiating from a common center to present a star configuration, whereby to provide a cluster of hair. 12. In the hair structure as claimed in claim 11, wherein each of said loops has an outer end remote from said center, said attaching means securing said star configuration to said base exclusively at said center and said ends. 13. In the hair structure as claimed in claim 11, wherein said base comprises a honeycomb material presenting a number of open cells, said star configuration overlying a plurality of said cells. 14. In the hair structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein said ribbon presents a pair of opposed major surfaces, said number of strands of hair comprising a first weft thereof secured to one of said surfaces, and wherein said hair material further includes a second weft of hair extending in general parallelism with said first weft and having root portions secured to said one surface between the root portions of said first weft and said points of attachment, whereby to provide a stacked weft hair configuration. 15. In a hair structure; a base; a plurality of pieces of hair material overlying said base, each of said pieces including a flexible ribbon presenting a longitudinal edge, and a number of strands of hair having root portions secured to said ribbon adjacent sand edge; and means attaching each of said ribbons to said base at points of attachment spaced from said edge and the root portions of said strands a sufficient distance to provide a flexible hinge support for said strands permitting free movement thereof with the ribbon about said points of attachment in directions transversely of the length of the ribbon, the ribbons of a pair of said pieces of hair material being disposed on said base in side-by-side, proximal relationship to each other to define a line of hair concentration along the length of said pair of pieces. 16. In the hair structure as claimed in claim 15, wherein said attaching means includes a secondary ribbon having opposed, longitudinally extending edge portions, the ribbons of said pair of pieces being secured to said secondary ribbon along one of said edge portions, the opposite edge portion of said secondary ribbon being attached to said base. 17. In the hair structure as claimed in claim 15, wherein each of the ribbons of said pair of pieces presents a pair of opposed major surfaces, and wherein said number of strands of hair of each of said pair of pieces comprises a pair of wefts secured to respective surfaces of the ribbon adjacent said edge, whereby to provide each of said pair of pieces with a double weft to further increase the hair concentration along said line. 18. A method of constructing a hair stRucture having a base, said method comprising the steps of: first attaching at least one weft of hair to one edge of a flexible ribbon, and thereafter fixing the other edge of said flexible ribbon to said base in such a manner that said weft may move in two directions transversely of said ribbon as the expanse of ribbon material between the weft attachment and the base attachment flexes. 19. A method of constructing a hair structure wherein the hair thereon is adapted to fall in opposite directions to give a reversible hair structure having two different appearances when worn, and wherein said hair structure has a base, said method comprising the steps of: attaching a plurality of wefts of hair each to one edge of a plurality of flexible ribbons, and thereafter fixing the other edges of said ribbons to said base in a generally parallel configuration and in such a manner that a transverse expanse of ribbon material remains between the weft attachment and the base attachment of each ribbon. |
