Abstract
A reinforced hair holder, includes a core body having a first core end and a second core end, a cover body having a first cover end and a second cover end, the cover body coupled to the core body along a length of the hair holder and a coupling member that is adapted to couple the first core end and the first cover end to the second core end and the second cover end, respectively. The hair holder provides improved durability that reduces the occurrence of elastic fatigue and breakage to allow a user to limit the frequency of disposal and replacement of a hair holder for the user.
Claims19
A hair holder, comprising;
- a core body having a first core end and a second core end, and
- a cover body having a first cover end and a second cover end and an outer surface and an inner surface;
- wherein the cover body further comprises a groove formed on the cover body;
- wherein the groove extends substantially a full length between the first cover end and the second cover end;
- wherein the groove extends through the outer surface of the cover body to the inner surface of the cover body;
- wherein the core body is configured to be inserted into the groove of the cover body;
- wherein either or both of the core body and cover body comprises one or more reinforcement materials;
- wherein at least one of the reinforcement materials is natural, artificial, or genetically altered spider silk;
- graphene, graphene-type material, or other materials made from allotropes of carbon;
- para-aramid or meta-aramid materials;
- or flexible steel fibers or composites thereof;
- and
- wherein the first end of the core body and first end of the cover body are capable of being repeatedly tied and untied manually to the second end of the core body and the second end of the cover body.
