Carrying case for a wig
A carrying case for a wig. The case is made of two panels that are joined together by hinges. One panel has a floor surface that extends in a lateral direction past a roof section. The floor surface has a post for receiving a wig head. Contact members are deployable to protrude from the post and burrow into or otherwise press against the inside walls of a channel provided in a wig head.
1. A carrying case comprising,
a first panel;
a second panel;
said first panel being hingedly connected to said second panel;
said first panel comprising a floor surface and a roof surface;
said floor surface extending in a lateral direction past said roof surface;
said second panel comprising a floor surface,
whereby the floor surface of the first panel is disposed higher in space than the floor surface of the second panel, such that when the carrying case is closed, an underside surface of the floor surface of the first panel is substantially parallel to the floor surface of the second panel,
said floor surface of the first panel comprising a post attached substantially orthogonally thereto that is sized and shaped to receive an inside channel of a wig head.
2. The carrying case of claim 1 , whereby said floor surface of said first panel is surrounded by a wall.
3. The carrying case of claim 1 , whereby said post comprises an inner housing and cutouts.
4. The carrying case of claim 3 , whereby the inner housing further comprises contact members stored therein and mechanical components for moving the contact members laterally out of the post to bear against the inside channel of a wig head.
5. The carrying case of claim 4 , whereby each of said contact members comprises an upper arm having a first end and second end, the first end of the upper arm linked to a movable rod and the second end of the upper arm linked to a lower arm.
6. The carrying case of claim 4 , further comprising a collar movably mounted in said inner housing, said collar being linked to said contact members.
7. The carrying case of claim 6 , whereby the collar is linked to the contact members through a movable rod.
8. The carrying case of claim 6 , whereby the collar is movable in an upward direction and a downward direction, whereby when the collar is moved in a downward direction the movable rod exerts force on said contact members and cause the contact members to move laterally.
9. The carrying case of claim 4 whereby said contact members are linked to the second panel such that the movement of the second panel engages the mechanical components to move the contact members laterally.
10. The carrying case of claim 9 , further comprising a handle that is linked to a collar, whereby movement of said second panel moves the handle, whereby movement of the handle causes rotation of said collar.
