Abstract
A system and apparatus for hair removal and collection according to various aspects of the present technology comprise a body having a plurality of hair removal tabs positioned at a first end of the body and a handle disposed at a second end of the body. The hair removal tabs extend outwardly around a periphery of the body and may form individual loops configured to provide a larger surface area for collecting hair and lint. The loops may be formed of a material having an inherent electrical charge that is opposite that of hair and lint to further increase an attractive force between the hair removal tabs and the hair/lint.
Claims19
A device for removing hair and lint from an object, comprising:
- a body having a first end and a second end;
- a plurality of hair removal tabs disposed between the first end and a mid-portion of the body and extending outwardly around a periphery of the body;
- and
- a handled disposed at the second end of the body.
A device for removing hair and lint from an object, comprising:
- a body having a first end and a second end;
- a plurality of loops having an open interior portion disposed between the first end and a mid-portion of the body and extending outwardly around a periphery of the body;
- and
- a handled disposed at the second end of the body.
A method of forming a device for removing hair and lint from an object, comprising:
- providing a sheet of foam having a length greater its width;
- providing a body having a first end and an opposing second end;
- forming a series of slits into a middle portion of the sheet, wherein:
- each slit extends part way across the width of the sheet between opposing side edges;
- and
- the series of slits extend along the length of the sheet;
- and
- positioning a series of loops along an outer surface of the body between the first end and a mid-portion of the body, wherein each loop is formed by:
- bringing a pair of opposing side edges disposed between two slits from the series of slits together to form the first loop;
- and
- attaching the pair of opposing side edges to the outer facing surface of the body, wherein each immediately adjacent loop is attached to the body at a point positioned inward from a distal most point of the first end of the body and along a different position along a circumference of the body such that each progressive loop is not aligned with an immediately preceding loop.
