Hair flocking apparatus and methods of use thereof

Abstract

An apparatus adapted to flock fibers upon one or more surfaces. The apparatus may include a container, a plurality of panels, and a filtering layer. The fibers may be human hairs, and the one or more surfaces may be a human head. The panels may be adapted to open and close a cavity in the container. One or more of the panels may be adapted for fibers to be chopped upon it. One or more of the panels may be transparent, and there may be handles affixed to one or more of the panels. The filtering layer may be adapted for fibers of one or more predetermined characteristics to pass through it.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus adapted to flock fibers upon one or more surfaces, comprising:
 a container,   a plurality of panels, and   a filtering layer.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the fibers are human hairs. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more surfaces is a human head. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of panels is adapted to open and close a cavity in the container. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein one or more of the plurality of panels is adapted for fibers to be chopped upon it. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more of the plurality of panels are transparent. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more handles affixed to one or more of the plurality of panels. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the filtering layer is adapted for fibers of one or more predetermined characteristics to pass through it. 
     
     
         9 . A method for flocking fibers onto one or more surfaces, comprising:
 applying adhesive to the one or more surfaces,   loading fibers into a cavity of a flocking apparatus,   positioning the flocking apparatus above the one or more surfaces,   applying a force to the flocking apparatus,   releasing the fibers from the flocking apparatus upon the one or more surfaces,   applying a sealant to the one or more surfaces, and   storing the flocking apparatus until a subsequent use.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the fibers are human hairs. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the one or more surfaces is a human head. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the force is applied to the flocking apparatus by hand. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the force is applied to one or more sides of the flocking apparatus by one or more hands. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the force is applied to the flocking apparatus by opening and closing one or more panels in the flocking apparatus, one or more times. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising chopping the fibers upon one or more of the plurality of panels of the flocking apparatus. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising releasing fibers of one or more predetermined characteristics through a filtering layer. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the fibers are released upon the one or more surfaces by acceleration due to gravity. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the fibers are released upon the one or more surfaces in one or more predetermined patterns. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the one or more predetermined patterns comprise one or more surfaces that are intended to contain no fibers. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the one or more predetermined patterns comprise the fibers affixed in gradually increasing fiber density on one or more surfaces.
