Patent ID: 8485202

Claim:
A hair holder device ( 100 ) comprising: (a) an outer component ( 110 ) having a slot ( 118 ) disposed therein, the slot ( 118 ) has a slot surface ( 119 ); and (b) an insertion component ( 120 ) having an outer edge ( 125 ), the outer edge ( 125 ) can slidably insert into the slot ( 118 ) of the outer component ( 110 ); wherein the outer component ( 110 ) and insertion component ( 120 ) are connected together via a first pair of tethers ( 330 a ) and a second pair of tethers ( 330 a ), the first pair of tethers ( 330 a ) comprises a first tether ( 130 a ) and a third tether ( 130 c ), the second pair of tethers ( 330 b ) comprises a second tether ( 130 b ) and a fourth tether ( 130 d ), the first pair of tethers ( 330 a ) is positioned opposite the second pair of tethers ( 330 b ); wherein a first end ( 131 a ) of the first tether ( 130 a ) is attached to a bottom surface ( 112 ) of the outer component ( 110 ) adjacent to an inner rim ( 119 a ) of the outer component ( 110 ) and a second end ( 132 a ) of the first tether ( 130 a ) is attached to the outer edge ( 125 ) of the insertion component ( 120 ), and a first end ( 131 c ) of the third tether ( 130 c ) is attached to the bottom surface ( 112 ) of the outer component ( 110 ) adjacent to the inner rim ( 119 a ) of the outer component ( 110 ) and a second end ( 132 c ) of the third tether ( 130 c ) is attached to the outer edge ( 125 ) of the insertion component ( 120 ), wherein a first end ( 131 b ) of the second tether ( 130 b ) is attached to the bottom surface ( 112 ) of the outer component ( 110 ) adjacent to the inner rim ( 119 a ) of the outer component ( 110 ) and a second end ( 132 b ) of the second tether ( 130 b ) is attached to the outer edge ( 125 ) of the insertion component ( 120 ), and a first end ( 131 d ) of the fourth tether ( 130 d ) is attached to the bottom surface ( 112 ) of the outer component ( 110 ) adjacent to the inner rim ( 119 a ) of the outer component ( 110 ) and a second end ( 132 d ) of the fourth tether ( 130 d ) is attached to the outer edge ( 125 ) of the insertion component ( 120 ); wherein when the insertion component ( 120 ) is disposed within the slot ( 118 ), the slot surface ( 119 ) and the outer surface of the insertion component ( 120 ) can clamp and hold hair therein between, wherein a bun or puff effect is created for hair inserted therethrough in various shapes depending on a shape of the insertion component ( 120 ).
