Abstract
A device for holding flowing materials such as hair, fabric, yarn or other loose, and malleable fibers is disclosed. The device includes one contiguous piece of material with a central portion and a plurality of elongated arms or bars extending from the curved or bended portion. The elongated arms can be used to securely hold or clasp the flowing material. Numerous apertures are distributed throughout the device to diminish weight, to supply friction and to facilitate optional embellishments.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A device for holding flowing material, comprising:
one contiguous piece of material bended in a middle section to form a curved first bar and a second bar a plurality of rolling peaks and troughs thereon; and a first tip on the first bar having a general hook end shape and a second tip on the second bar having a slide end shape.
2 . The device of claim 1 , comprising a plurality of apertures having predetermined shapes and sizes, wherein the apertures are placed on the first and second bars.
3 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the hook end shape is bent or rolled back and the slide end shape is straight or flattened.
4 . The device of claim 1 , comprising two or more peaks along the top bar and two or more peaks along the bottom bar in corresponding increments.
5 . The device of claim 1 , comprising one or more apertures placed along first and second bars in predetermined sizes and increments.
6 . The device of claim 5 , wherein the apertures comprise round, triangular, star or any of a number of different shapes.
7 . The device of claim 5 , wherein the apertures are placed throughout the bars to provide a lightweight tool that uses friction for holding and to facilitate decoration.
8 . The device of claim 5 , comprising an embellishment or a decoration coupled to the aperture.
9 . The device of claim 5 , comprised of: a flower decoration, a bead, adornment or embellishment attached to the aperture.
10 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second bars secure hair, clothing, drapery.
11 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second bars secure loose or malleable fibers or materials.
12 . A holding device, comprising:
one contiguous piece of material with a top arc with an opening centrally positioned therein; a plurality of elongated arms extending from the top arc or a possible secondary arc or other segment, wherein the elongated arms securely grasp locks of hair or material that is fibrous or malleable. one or more apertures placed along such arc, segments and arms in predetermined sizes and increments.
13 . The device of claim 12 , comprising flower, bead and other decorations secured to the apertures.
14 . The device of claim 12 , wherein each elongated arm comprises a centrally elongated opening.
15 . The device of claim 12 , wherein the apertures comprise round, triangular, star and other shapes.
16 . The device of claim 12 , wherein the apertures are placed throughout the arms, arcs and segments to provide a lightweight tool that uses friction for holding and to facilitate decoration.
17 . A method to organize a flowing material, comprised of:
forming one contiguous piece of material with one or more holding arms extending therefrom, forming one or more apertures placed along the contiguous piece and the holding arms in predetermined sizes and increments; placing the flowing material between the holding arms to secure the flowing material.
18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the flowing material comprises hair and wherein the material forms a hair styling tool, further comprising:
inserting the hair styling tool with arms first and with a concave side facing outward, away from a head into a lock of hair formed into a hair style; sweeping the hair styling tool in an upward manner into hair style wherein a direction of the hair styling tool is reversed into a convex side outwardly away from head; and inserting and tucking the hair styling tool firmly into the hair style and against head where hair style is held in place with security and no discomfort.
19 . The method of claim 17 , comprising attaching a flower, bead or other decoration to the apertures.
20 . The method of claim 17 , comprising forming a contiguous piece of material bended in a middle section to form curved first and a second bars with a plurality of rolling peaks and troughs thereon and forming tips with a general hook end shape and a slide end shape on the first and second bar.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
