ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a hairdressing tool rack, and more particularly to a shelf that includes compartments for holding hairdressing tools and can be connected to and behind a back of a hairdressing chair, so that various hairdressing tools can be easily accessed without occupying additional space in a room.
Many equipment and tools designed for hairdressing have been largely improved in their material, appearance and structure to provide better functions. For example, the clumsy and heavy lounge-type hairdressing chair in early stage has been replaced by a light chair that meets the requirements of body engineering. And, the one-leg stand having a round tray connected to a top thereof for holding hairdressing tools has been replaced by a cart having multiple layers of open trays to hold more tools in a stable manner. However, such cart for holding hairdressing tools still has following disadvantages that need to be improved:
1. A hairdresser has to bend frequently to get tools positioned on trays that are located at a lower portion of the cart, and this is apparently inconvenient for the hairdresser; and
2. It is necessary to have the cart stay close to the hairdressing chair so that the hairdresser may easily get the tools on the cart during work. And, the cart would inevitably occupy considerable space and even hinder the hairdresser from working.
It is therefore tried by the inventor to develop a hairdressing tool holding means to eliminate the drawbacks existing in the conventional hairdressing tool holding cart.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A primary object of the present invention is to provide a rack that can be closely attached to a hairdressing chair for holding tools needed in hairdressing without occupying additional space in a room while a hairdresser may easily get the tools from the rack without bending frequently.
To achieve the above and other objects, the rack of the present invention mainly includes a U-shaped shelf that is detachably connected to and behind a back of a hairdressing chair by means of connectors. The shelf includes several compartments for holding different hairdressing tools and is so sized and curved that an inner wall thereof is suitable for closely locating behind the back of the hairdressing chair. The connectors are attached to the inner wall of the shelf at suitable positions and each includes a supporting arm for supporting the shelf thereon, a clamping arm, and an elastic pressing plate. The clamping arms and the pressing plates cooperate with one another to clamp the back of the chair between them, so that the shelf is connected to and behind the back without occupying additional room and located at a height that allows a hairdresser to get the tools in the shelf without bending frequently.
