    Abstract: A hair extension system includes two rectangular sections, one having protrusions and the other cavities, disposed along a longitudinal axis of the rectangular sections. Natural or synthetic hair strands cab be attached to the two rectangular sections and a person's hair is sandwiched between the rectangular sections. The two rectangular sections can be releasably coupled with one another when the protrusions are pressed into the cavities, thereby extending the person's hair by the length of the hair strands.

  • Publication number: 20240215672
    Abstract: The invention is an article of headwear that incorporates a hair compression system and adjustment system for compressing one or more sections of a wearer's hair. The headwear may be formed of a crown, a compression system, and an adjustment system. The compression system includes one or more stretchable materials that form the inner layer of the crown. The compression system may compress along a horizontal, diagonal and/or vertical plane of the head of a wearer. The compression system is attached to an adjustment system often at the back of the headwear which can be attached to the crown. The adjustment system allows a user to manually tighten the compression system to a desired pressure to keep the hair of the user compressed while the user wears the headwear. The desired hair compression is capable of being regulated by the adjustment system.

  • Publication number: 20240215713
    Abstract: A support fixture is disclosed that may be removably clamped to a bed rail (or any other support member) and includes a lower support arm attached to the removable clamp through a rotatable connector. An upper support arm is attached to a distal termination of the lower support arm via a pivot connector. The combination of the lower and upper arms is referred to at times as an articulated arm assembly. A device support member is coupled to the upper support arm via a multi-stage gimbal system, perhaps in combination with a quick-release connection (allowing for the device support component to be used as a stand-alone fixture). The device support member is particularly configured to support a computing device, a communication device, or the like.

  • Publication number: 20240215714
    Abstract: Disclosed is a portable bracket, comprising: a first supporting plate, a second supporting plate, and a supporting body arranged between the first and second supporting plates. The supporting body is switched between an unfolding state and a folding state, when the supporting body is in the unfolding state, the first supporting plate is fixed on the second supporting plate at a predetermined included angle, and when the supporting body is in the folding state, the first supporting plate is attached to the second supporting plate. In the present invention, the first and second supporting plates support a mobile device, and a size of the predetermined included angle is adjusted and set. When this angle is 85° to 90°, a field of view of the supported mobile device is wide; therefore, users conveniently perform live broadcast activity. The present invention further has the characteristics of a small volume and convenient carrying.
