Hair tool apparatuses and methods

Abstract

A hair tool apparatus for facilitating coupling a bead to hair of a person includes a body with a first body end and a second body end, a first tool coupled to the first body end, the first tool configured to hold the bead thereon and having a loop configured to receive the hair there through such that the bead can be coupled to the hair, and a second tool coupled to the second body end, the second tool configured to engage the hair and facilitate partitioning the hair from the person.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hair tool apparatus for facilitating coupling a bead to hair of a person, the hair tool apparatus comprising:
 a body with a first body end and a second body end;   a first tool coupled to the first body end, the first tool configured to hold the bead thereon and having a loop configured to receive the hair there through such that the bead can be coupled to the hair; and   a second tool coupled to the second body end, the second tool configured to engage the hair and facilitate partitioning the hair from the person.   
     
     
         2 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the body, the first tool, and the second tool extend along an axis. 
     
     
         3 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the first tool includes a loop and a head to which the loop is coupled, and wherein the head is coupled to the first body end. 
     
     
         4 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the loop is formed of a wire. 
     
     
         5 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the body defines a slot, and wherein the first tool includes a pin that is received into the slot to thereby removably couple the first tool to the body. 
     
     
         6 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the slot is J-shaped. 
     
     
         7 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the first tool has a head from which the pin extends, and wherein the body defines a bore in which the head is received. 
     
     
         8 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 5 , further comprising a locking device that locks the pin in the slot to thereby couple the first tool to the body. 
     
     
         9 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the locking device is a spring. 
     
     
         10 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the locking device is a spring plunger. 
     
     
         11 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the slot includes a first slot end through which the pin passes and a second slot end in which the pin is located when the first tool is coupled to the body. 
     
     
         12 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein further comprising a locking device that biases the pin a first axial direction out through the first slot end such that the first tool is decoupled from the body or to the second slot end such that the first tool is coupled to the body. 
     
     
         13 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the first tool is removably coupled to the body. 
     
     
         14 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 13 , wherein the second tool is removably coupled to the body. 
     
     
         15 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the second tool includes a rod and a tip. 
     
     
         16 . A hair tool apparatus for facilitating coupling a bead to hair of a person, the hair tool apparatus comprising:
 a body with a first body end and a second body end;   a first tool coupled to the first body end, the first tool having a loop and a head to which the loop is coupled, the loop configured to hold the bead thereon and to receive the hair there through such that the bead can be coupled to the hair and the head is removably coupled to the first body end; and   a second tool coupled to the second body end, the second tool configured to engage the hair and facilitate partitioning the hair from the person.   
     
     
         17 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 16 , wherein the body, the first tool, and the second tool extend along an axis. 
     
     
         18 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 16 , wherein the first tool includes a pin that radially extends from the head, and wherein the body defines a slot in which the pin is received to thereby removably couple the first tool to the body. 
     
     
         19 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 18 , further comprising a locking device that locks the pin in the slot to thereby couple the first tool to the body. 
     
     
         20 . The hair tool apparatus according to  claim 19 , wherein the slot includes a first slot end through which the pin passes and a second slot end in which the pin is located when the first tool is coupled to the body;
 wherein the first tool is rotated about an axis to thereby move the pin into and between the first slot end and the second slot end; and   wherein the locking device biases the pin in a first axial direction out through the first slot end such that the first tool is decoupled from the body or to the second slot end such that the first tool is coupled to the body.
