Linear hair tie

Abstract

A hair tie includes a main body, which has a first elastic body for winding around a hair bundle, and a soft material member covering the first elastic body to be in contact with the wound hair bundle. The first elastic body has a first free end and a second free end, and the hair tie further includes first and second coupling members disposed at the first and second free ends of the first elastic body, respectively, and engageable with each other to secure the winding of the first elastic body around the hair bundle.

         2 . The hair tie according to  claim 1 , wherein the soft material member is a fabric member covering the first elastic body. 
     
     
         3 . The hair tie according to  claim 1 , wherein the main body further includes a second elastic body for winding around the hair bundle together with the first elastic body, and the second elastic body has a third free end and a fourth free end. 
     
     
         4 . The hair tie according to  claim 3 , wherein the main body further includes third and fourth coupling members disposed at the third and fourth free ends of the second elastic body, respectively. 
     
     
         5 . The hair tie according to  claim 4 , wherein the third coupling member is engageable with the second coupling members, and the fourth coupling member is engageable with the first coupling member. 
     
     
         6 . The hair tie according to  claim 3 , wherein the soft material member is a fabric member covering both the first elastic body and the second elastic body. 
     
     
         7 . The hair tie according to  claim 3 , wherein the first elastic body and the second elastic body are interwoven. 
     
     
         8 . The hair tie according to  claim 1 , wherein the first and second coupling members are both hooks. 
     
     
         9 . The hair tie according to  claim 1 , wherein the first and second coupling members are a hollow ring and a disc, respectively. 
     
     
         10 . The hair tie according to  claim 1 , wherein the first and second coupling members are formed with matched female and male threads, respectively, to be coupled as a screw lock. 
     
     
         11 . A hair tie, comprising:
 a main body, including at least:
 a first elastic body for winding around a hair bundle, having a first free end and a second free end; and 
 a second elastic body for further winding around the hair bundle, having a third free end and a fourth free end; 
   a first coupling member connected to both the first free end of the first elastic body and the third free end of the second elastic body; and   a second coupling member connected to both the second free end of the first elastic body and the fourth free end of the second elastic body,   wherein the first coupling member and the second coupling member are engageable with each other or engageable with hair to secure the winding of the first elastic body around the hair bundle.   
     
     
         12 . The hair tie according to  claim 11 , wherein a width or diameter of one or each of the first elastic body and the second elastic body is not less than 4 mm 
     
     
         13 . The hair tie according to  claim 12 , wherein one or each of the first elastic body and the second elastic body is covered with a soft material member to be in contact with the hair bundle. 
     
     
         14 . The hair tie according to  claim 13 , wherein either or both of the first coupling member and the second coupling member are hair clips or hair pins 
     
     
         15 . A hair tie, comprising:
 a main body, including at least:
 a first elastic body for winding around a hair bundle, having a first free end and a second free end; and 
 a second elastic body for winding around the hair bundle together with the first elastic body, having a third free end and a fourth free end; and 
   first, second, third and fourth coupling members disposed at the first, second, third and fourth free ends of the first elastic body and the second elastic body, respectively, for securing the winding of the first elastic body and the second elastic member around the hair bundle,   wherein the first and second elastic bodies are interconnected in respective middle portions thereof, and the first, second, third and fourth coupling members are engageable with one another or engageable with hair.   
     
     
         16 . The hair tie according to  claim 15 , wherein each of the first, second, third and fourth coupling members is selected from a group consisting of a hook, a hollow ring, a disc, a screw lock part with female threads, a screw lock part with male threads, a hair pin, a hair clip, and a combination thereof. 
     
     
         17 . The hair tie according to  claim 15 , wherein the main body further includes a fabric member covering the first elastic body and/or the second elastic body to be in contact with the wound hair bundle. 
     
     
         18 . The hair tie according to  claim 15 , wherein the first elastic body and the second elastic body are interwoven.
