Hair braiding device
View Patent ↗A hair braiding device dimensioned and adapted for enabling the separation of a plurality of braiding hair sections with minimum amounts of tangling and knotting, even when the underlying hair braiding device is moved. The hair braiding device provides a grid of hooks positioned at an operational orientation angle, even as the hair braiding device is movable between a deployed state and a collapsed state for transportation and storage. Thereby the operatively associated hair sections remain in their own spaced-apart relationship relative to each other.
1. A hair braiding device, comprising:
a plurality of vertically spaced apart rows;
a plurality of hooks horizontally spaced apart along each row;
two first legs, each first leg connected to one of two opposing end portions of each row;
a support leg pivotably connected to an upper portion of each first leg so that the hair braiding device is movable between a deployed state and a collapsed state; and
each leg has a distal end adapted to engage a supporting surface,
wherein each hook is disposed in an operational oriented angle relative to the supporting surface, and wherein the operational oriented angle is thirty to sixty degrees, and
wherein each row provides an engagement surface at each opposing end portion for engaging one of the two first legs, wherein each row provides a hook surface for connected to each hook provided thereon, and wherein the engagement surface is at an acute angle relative to the hook surface.
2. The hair braiding device of claim 1 , wherein each hook is disposed in the operational oriented angle when the hair braiding device is in the deployed state or the collapsed state.
3. The hair braiding device of claim 2 , wherein the operational oriented angle is approximately sixty degrees in the deployed state and approximately thirty degrees in the collapsed state.
4. The hair braiding device of claim 1 , wherein the acute angle ranges between thirty and sixty degrees.
5. The hair braiding device of claim 1 , wherein each row provides a pentagonal profile where said row interfaces with one of the two first legs.
6. The hair braiding device of claim 1 , wherein each distal end has no-slip pads.
7. A hair braiding device, comprising:
a plurality of vertically spaced apart rows;
a plurality of hooks horizontally spaced apart along each row;
two first legs, each first leg connected to one of two opposing end portions of each row, wherein each row provides an engagement surface at each opposing end portion for engaging one of the two first legs, wherein each row provides a hook surface for connected to each hook provided thereon, and wherein the engagement surface is at an angle ranging between thirty and sixty degrees relative to the hook surface;
a support leg pivotably connected to an upper portion of each first leg so that the hair braiding device is movable between a deployed state and a collapsed state; and
each leg has a distal end adapted to engage a supporting surface,
wherein each hook is disposed in an operational oriented angle relative to the supporting surface when the hair braiding device is in the deployed state or the collapsed state, wherein the operational oriented angle is approximately sixty degrees in the deployed state and approximately thirty degrees in the collapsed state.
8. The hair braiding device of claim 7 , wherein each distal end has no-slip pads.
