HAIR ROLLERS ASSEMBLY

BACKGROUND

1. Field of the Disclosure

[0001]The present disclosure relates to hair rollers. In particular, the present disclosure is related to a hair rollers assembly having a pair of elongated hair rollers joined by a strap.

2. Description of Related Art

[0002]During use of conventional hair rollers, a user typically wraps different portions of their hair around each separate hair roller. The hair stays secured to the hair rollers for a period of time. The user then removes each separate hair roller from the user's hair to impart curl to the hair. However, positioning each separate hair roller in some orientations in the user's hair is challenging. Accordingly, it is difficult to achieve some desirable hair styles using conventional hair rollers.

[0003]Accordingly, it has been determined by the present disclosure that there is a continuing need for a device that overcomes, alleviates, and/or mitigates one or more of the aforementioned and other deleterious effects of prior devices.

SUMMARY

[0004]The present disclosure provides a hair rollers assembly having a pair of elongated hair rollers joined by a strap.

[0005]The present disclosure also provides a hair rollers assembly having a pair of elongated hair rollers joined by a strap in which the length between the rollers can be adjusted by the strap.

[0006]The hair rollers assembly can include rollers that are removable from the strap for various modes of use.

[0007]The above-described and other features and advantages of the present disclosure will be appreciated and understood by those skilled in the art from the following detailed description, drawings, and appended claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020]Referring to the drawings and in particular to FIG. 1, an exemplary embodiment of a hair rollers assembly according to the present disclosure is shown and is generally referred to by reference numeral 10. Hair rollers assembly 10 has a cord or strap 12 connected to rollers 14, 16. Advantageously, a user can place strap 12 of hair rollers assembly 10 over a top of their head so that rollers 14, 16 hang down next to the user's ears. Hair is wrapped around rollers 14, 16 and allowed to set for a time. Hair rollers assembly 10 can be used in this way to get a “beach wave” setting hairstyle effect. A further advantage of hair rollers assembly 10 includes that rollers 14, 16 are joined by strap 12 that is adjustable in length and removable from rollers 14, 16 for various modes of use.

[0021]Referring to FIGS. 1-7, roller 14 is connected to a first end 18 of strap 12 and roller 16 is connected to a second end 20 of strap 12 opposite the first end 18. Each of roller 14, 16 are selectively removable from strap 12.

[0022]Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, strap 12 has an adjustable length as shown by arrows A and B of FIGS. 2 and 3, respectively, so that strap 12 can be adjusted between shorter and longer lengths. As shown in FIG. 2, strap 12 can have a first length, and as shown in FIG. 3, strap 12 can be adjusted to a second length that is longer than the first length of FIG. 2. Strap 12 can also have different lengths between the first length of FIG. 2 and the second length of FIG. 3. Strap 12 can also be modified to have longer lengths than the second length of FIG. 3 and/or shorter lengths than the first length of FIG. 2. A user can adjust the length of strap 12 to fit over the head of a user and thus is adjustable to the desired length of the use preferably with reference to the size/shape of the head of the user.

[0023]Referring to FIG. 8, strap 12 is connected to a first hook 22 on first end 18 and a second hook 24 on second end 20. First hook 22 selectively connects to one of rollers 14, 16 and second hook 24 selectively connects another one of rollers 14, 16. Alternatively, strap 12 could be connected to various other connectors to connect strap 12 to each of rollers 14, 16. Strap 12 has adjustment mechanism 26. Adjustment mechanism 26 can be any mechanism that can adjust a length L of strap 12. First hook 22 can maintain its position on first end 18 and second hook 24 can maintain its position on second end 20 when length L of strap 12 is adjusted by adjustment mechanism 26.

[0024]Referring to FIGS. 9-12, rollers 14, 16 are a pair of soft, fabric-covered, generally cylindrically shaped hair rollers. Rollers 14, 16 are shown as the same herein but could be different than one another. Another alternative includes that rollers 14, 16 can be different shapes, material and/or sizes. Rollers 14, 16 are heatable in a microwave oven or cooled in a refrigerator. Rollers 14, 16 can have a roller body 30 that is made of materials used for microwavable hair rollers, for example, as set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 4,710,609, issued Dec. 1, 1987 that is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Each of rollers 14, 16 has a loop 28 on one end. First hook 22 and second hook 24 are removably connectable to each loop 28. Alternatively, strap 12 and rollers 14, 16 could have various other connectors to connect strap 12 to each of rollers 14, 16.

[0025]During use of hair rollers assembly 10, a user can place strap 12 over the top of their head so that rollers 14, 16 hang down next to the user's ears. Hair of the user is wrapped around each of rollers 14, 16 and allowed to set for a time to get a “beach wave” setting hairstyle effect. Heating rollers 14, 16 facilitates effective hair setting. Cooling rollers 14, 16 imparts smooth shine and texture to hair. Neither heating nor cooling, but wrapping hair around rollers 14, 16, facilitates hair setting. Additional hair accessories can be used with hair rollers assembly 10 to maintain the hair of the user wrapped around each of rollers 14, 16 while the hair sets, for example, clips, hairbands and the like. The adjustability of length L of strap 12 allows users of different ages and dimensions to use hair rollers assembly 10. In addition, the same user can achieve different styles by adjusting length L of strap 12.

[0026]A further advantage of hair rollers assembly 10 includes that rollers 14, 16 are removable from strap 12 for various modes of use. For example, rollers 14, 16 can be used while connected to strap 12 as described above or rollers 14, 16 can be used to impart curl to a user's hair while disconnected from strap 12.

[0027]It should also be noted that the terms “first”, “second”, “third”, “upper”, “lower”, and the like may be used herein to modify various elements. These modifiers do not imply a spatial, sequential, or hierarchical order to the modified elements unless specifically stated.

[0028]While the present disclosure has been described with reference to one or more exemplary embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents can be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. In addition, many modifications can be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the disclosure without departing from the scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the present disclosure should not be limited to the particular embodiment(s) disclosed as the best mode contemplated, but that the disclosure will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims.
