On September 2, 2003, I was doing electrical work for a friend of mine who
is a barber, in Langley, B.C (Arcade Barber and Stylist). I was installing new
lights in his salon. While I was working, he was cutting hair for a client. He
was
using the clippers, which were plugged into the wall I noticed that the plug
always
accidentally got unplugged. He then looked at the plug and said "I wish I
could fix
this problem, the plug keeps getting unplugged with each cut I do."
He looked at me and he said, "Can you fix it for me." I said, "Sure, I will do
it after
I finish with the lighting."
During the clients cut, the barber moved to cut the side of the client's hair
so
he swung the clipper cord around the client. Suddenly the client said to the
barber,
"Be careful, I do not like it too much when you swing your cord around me like
a
spider." The barber said, "Don't worry!"
A couple of hours later when I completed my electrical task, he requested me
to check the clipper plug for him. I checked the plug and noticed that there
was
nothing wrong with it. I also checked the outlet and figured that it was
normal. The
Problem was that he was pulling the clipper cord while he was cutting the
client's
hair.
He told me that this was a problem and said, "Someone tried to have a stand
hooked up from the ceiling, but the idea failed because the Stand from the
ceiling
wasn't stable." I looked at the chair and an idea clicked in my mind about a
unit to
be mounted on the back of the chair or on the side of the chair. I told him
about it
and he said it may be a good idea
I came home and thought about it for two or three days. I came up with a
design,
which was a squared clipper holder, and I did the first model which I took it
back
to him to try it out.
He tried it for one week and he phoned me back saying that it is a great idea,
but it is not good to be squared. I changed the design to a round one, then I
took it
back to him again. He tried it for one week and then gave me lots of feedback
about how to prefect the unit.
I made a third model by doing a few of them, and then distributed them to a
Few barbers to try them out, the feedback was great!
I am now trying to contact Barbers and Beauty Supplies distributors to see
Can distribute this unit through them to all North America's Barber's and
Salons.
In order to do so I must protect my invention through copyrights law.
I also have all the original designs /prototype of the clipper and Trimmer
holder with
me.
