Hair extension weaving device

Abstract

A hair extension weaving device is provided that is able to efficiently attach wefts to braided hair tracks, reducing the time necessary to add hair extensions and prevent both pain and damage to the hair stylist. The hair extension weaving device includes an upper body member and lower body member that may be releasably attached to one another. The upper body member may secure a needle member thereto that is used to sew the weft to the hair track. The lower body member may include a cavity for containing a spool of thread therein that is threaded through the needle member.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hair extension weaving device for attaching welts to a braided track, the hair extension weaving device comprising:
 a needle member;   an upper body member comprising a securing member for releasably securing said needle member;   a lower body member releasably engageable with said upper body member, said lower body member comprising:
 a cavity for holding a spool of thread; and 
 a slot in said lower body member allowing said thread to be dispensed. 
   
     
     
         2 . The hair extension weaving device of  claim 1 , wherein the upper body member and lower body member are made out of plastic. 
     
     
         3 . The hair extension weaving device of  claim 1 , wherein the needle member is spiral shaped. 
     
     
         4 . The needle member of  claim 3 , wherein the needle member is spiral shaped and has at least one full turn. 
     
     
         5 . The hair extension weaving device of  claim 1 , wherein the needle member is curved. 
     
     
         6 . The hair extension weaving device of  claim 1 , wherein the securing mechanism of said upper body member is a threaded dull screw member. 
     
     
         7 . The hair extension weaving device of  claim 1  wherein the lower body member includes a cutting member. 
     
     
         8 . The hair extension weaving device of  claim 1 , wherein the upper body member includes a cutting member. 
     
     
         9 . The hair extension weaving device of  claim 1 , wherein the upper body member includes a cylinder portion, and the lower body member includes a cavity. 
     
     
         10 . The cutting member of  claim 9 , wherein the cylinder portion is receivable within the cavity to form a friction fit between the upper body member and the lower body member. 
     
     
         11 . A system for attaching wefts to a braided hair track comprising:
 a hair weaving device comprising:
 an upper body member; 
 a lower body member releasably engageable with the upper body member, the lower body member comprising:
 a cavity in which a spool of thread may be contained; 
 a slot from which thread may be received and dispensed; and 
 
   a needle member, said needle member releasably attachable via thread to the lower body member,   wherein thread is dispensed from said slot of said lower body member and threaded through an eye of said needle member.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein said hair weaving device is worn on the wrist. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein said hair weaving device is attached to a wrist strap. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein said upper body member is a screw top. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein said upper body member is releasably engageable with said lower body member by a friction fit. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein said hair weaving device is made out of plastic. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein said needle member is spiral shaped. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein said needle member has at least one full turn. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the size of the wrist strap is adjustable. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the hair weaving device includes a cutting member.
