Patent ID: 7862613

Claim:
A fitting for placement at a selected location on a person's head, embedded beneath the outer surface of the person's scalp to secure the fitting at the selected location, to enable securement of hair to the person's head, the fitting comprising: a base extending in longitudinal and lateral directions for placement between the outer surface of the scalp and the underlying bone of the person's skull, spaced from both the outer surface and the bone, the base having an obverse surface and a reverse surface; and a bridge integral with the base, the bridge extending in longitudinal directions between opposite ends and being raised from the base intermediate the opposite ends in an latitudinal direction to establish an eye between the bridge and the obverse surface of the base, the eye providing an open path extending in lateral directions, the bridge having a continuous, smooth contoured upper surface configuration extending from end to end of the opposite ends and spaced latitudinally from the obverse surface to pass over the eye, such that upon embedding the base beneath the outer surface of the scalp, the contoured configuration of the bridge will project latitudinally from the scalp unobtrusively, while exposing the eye for reception of a ligature which will secure hair to the fitting.
