Hair wrapper

An apparatus for wrapping hair with a cord, comprising:

• a hand-held housing;
• a main spindle-operatively coupled to the housing and defining a main spindle bore for receiving cord and hair;
• a rotatable platform coupled to the main spindle so that rotation of the main spindle is translated into rotation of the platform;
• guides rotatable with the platform for receiving cord and permitting the cord to be disposed through a bore extending through the platform;
• and
• at least one spool releasably secured to the platform in a rotatable manner, each spool carrying cord that is fed through one of the guides, the rotation of the main spindle causing cord to be dispensed through a particular one of the guides and the main spindle bore, hair is disposed through the main spindle bore, and the main spindle is rotated to wrap the hair with cord as the hand-held housing is moved relative to the hair.

An apparatus for wrapping hair with a cord, comprising:

• a hand-held housing;
• a gear mesh within the housing;
• a main spindle operatively coupled to the housing by the gear mesh and defining a main spindle bore for receiving cord and hair;
• a motor having a rotating shaft that is coupled to the gear mesh for transmitting rotation of the rotating shaft to the main spindle;
• a switch connected to selectively activate the motor;
• a rotatable platform coupled to the main spindle so that rotation of the main spindle is translated into rotation of the platform;
• a plurality of retaining posts extending outwardly from the platform;
• a plurality of guides rotatable with the platform for receiving a cord and permitting the cord to be disposed through a bore extending through the platform;
• at least two spools releasably secured in a rotatable manner on respective ones of the plurality of retaining posts, each spool carrying the cord and having the cord receivable in one of the plurality of guides;
• and
• a plurality of biased surfaces, each biased surface being positioned to provide frictional contact against a respective one of the at least two spools while the spools are disposed on respective ones of the retaining posts and to still permit the spool to freely rotate on each respective retaining post.
