Definitions
- the present invention relates to pliers hair.
- Such pliers include two elements in the form of comb pivotally mounted relative to each other, which are normally kept in the close position by a elastic member, such as a pin spring.
- the teeth of these two elements have a more or less shape curved and are shifted from one element to another by so as to intersect when the two elements are close together.
- This type of pliers has the disadvantage of not hold very well in the hair and have, by therefore, tendency to slip during movement of the head.
- such a clamp does not provide maintenance very effective hair because the teeth are not not crisscrossed, or weakly crisscrossed, when the pliers are placed in the hair. The hair is only not very well maintained by these teeth and can relatively easily escape from the clamp.
- the present invention aims to remedy these disadvantages.
- the clamp it relates to includes, so known per se, two comb-shaped elements mounted swivel relative to each other and held normally in a close position by an organ elastic.
- the teeth of a shaped element of comb are arranged opposite the teeth of the other comb-shaped element, and, among two teeth in look, one has at least one opening in which the other tooth is engaged when the two elements are in total approximation position or partial.
- the longitudinal edges of the teeth come close to each other when the clamp is totally or partially closed, and delimit mutually many baffles of jamming hair. These baffles allow the teeth to be trapped relative to each other, which ensures immobilization of comb-shaped elements and contributes to the good hold of the clamp in the hair.
- the teeth have a part of relatively low curvature base, some intermediate to relatively strong curvature, extending on an arc of about 90 °, and a free end part with relatively small curvature.
- the teeth may have any shape specific to increase the wedging of the hair between them.
- the opening in a tooth can be oval, oblong or triangular, or may include, on the side of the free end of the tooth, a enlarged part favoring the introduction of the tooth located opposite, and, on the side of the base of the tooth, a part thinned favoring the trapping of the hair.
- the same tooth can also include two aligned openings longitudinally, in which the tooth located in regard engages successively during the reconciliation of two comb-shaped elements.
- a tooth without an opening can, for its part, have a non-rectilinear shape and / or a section variable over its length, favoring the layout of hair trapping baffles.
- This tooth can thus have a wavy shape, or a succession of portions enlarged and narrowed, or a part enlarged at its base and a thinned free end portion, intended for cooperate with an opening of corresponding shape.
- the distribution of teeth from one element to another can be any. So the teeth comprising one or several openings and teeth without opening can be alternated on the same element, so regular or not, or all teeth with a opening can be arranged on the same element, while the other element includes all the teeth without opening.

Description
La présente invention concerne une pince à cheveux.The present invention relates to pliers hair.
Il est bien connu d'utiliser une pince à cheveux pour tenir des cheveux ou pour confectionner une coiffure.It is well known to use a hair clip to hold hair or to make a hairstyle.
Une telle pince comprend deux éléments en forme de peigne montés pivotants l'un par rapport à l'autre, qui sont maintenus normalement en position rapprochée par un organe élastique, tel qu'un ressort en épingle. Les dents de ces deux éléments présentent une forme plus ou moins recourbée et sont décalées d'un élément à l'autre de manière à s'entrecroiser lorsque les deux éléments sont rapprochés.Such pliers include two elements in the form of comb pivotally mounted relative to each other, which are normally kept in the close position by a elastic member, such as a pin spring. The teeth of these two elements have a more or less shape curved and are shifted from one element to another by so as to intersect when the two elements are close together.
Ce genre de pince a pour inconvénient de ne pas très bien tenir dans la chevelure et d'avoir, par conséquent, tendance à glisser lors des mouvements de la tête.This type of pliers has the disadvantage of not hold very well in the hair and have, by therefore, tendency to slip during movement of the head.
En effet, ces mouvements génèrent une force centrifuge sur la pince, de direction opposée à celle des dents, qui provoque l'écartement des deux éléments en forme de peigne, du fait de la forme recourbée des dents et de la faible force élastique du ressort.Indeed, these movements generate a force centrifugal on the clamp, in the opposite direction to that of teeth, which causes the separation of the two elements in comb shape, due to the curved shape of the teeth and the low elastic force of the spring.
De plus, une telle pince n'assure pas un maintien très efficace des cheveux du fait que les dents ne sont pas entrecroisées, ou faiblement entrecroisées, lorsque la pince est placée dans la chevelure. Les cheveux ne sont pas très bien maintenus par ces dents et peuvent s'échapper relativement facilement de la pince.In addition, such a clamp does not provide maintenance very effective hair because the teeth are not not crisscrossed, or weakly crisscrossed, when the pliers are placed in the hair. The hair is only not very well maintained by these teeth and can relatively easily escape from the clamp.
La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients.The present invention aims to remedy these disadvantages.
La pince qu'elle concerne comprend, de manière connue en soi, deux éléments en forme de peigne montés pivotants l'un par rapport à l'autre et maintenus normalement en une position rapprochée par un organe élastique. The clamp it relates to includes, so known per se, two comb-shaped elements mounted swivel relative to each other and held normally in a close position by an organ elastic.
Selon l'invention, les dents d'un élément en forme de peigne sont aménagées en face des dents de l'autre élément en forme de peigne, et, parmi deux dents en regard, l'une présente au moins une ouverture dans laquelle l'autre dent est engagée lorsque les deux éléments sont en position de rapprochement total ou partiel.According to the invention, the teeth of a shaped element of comb are arranged opposite the teeth of the other comb-shaped element, and, among two teeth in look, one has at least one opening in which the other tooth is engaged when the two elements are in total approximation position or partial.
Ainsi, les dents des deux éléments en forme de peigne ne s'entrecroisent pas mais s'interpénètrent lorsque la pince est totalement ou partiellement fermée. La masse de cheveux emprisonnée entre les deux éléments tend à presser les dents les unes contre les autres, générant ainsi des frottements entre les dents et créant un effet d'autoblocage des éléments. Cet effet d'autoblocage permet un parfait maintien de la pince dans les cheveux même en cas de mouvements relativement brusques de la tête.So the teeth of the two shaped elements comb do not intersect but interpenetrate when the clamp is completely or partially closed. The mass of hair trapped between the two elements tends to press the teeth against each other, thus generating friction between the teeth and creating an auto-blocking effect of the elements. This effect self-locking allows a perfect hold of the clamp in the hair even in the case of relatively movements abrupt head.
De plus, les rebords longitudinaux des dents viennent à proximité les uns des autres lorsque la pince est totalement ou partiellement fermée, et délimitent mutuellement de nombreuses chicanes de coincement des cheveux. Ces chicanes permettent un coincement des dents les unes par rapport aux autres, qui assure l'immobilisation des éléments en forme de peigne et contribue à la bonne tenue de la pince dans la chevelure.In addition, the longitudinal edges of the teeth come close to each other when the clamp is totally or partially closed, and delimit mutually many baffles of jamming hair. These baffles allow the teeth to be trapped relative to each other, which ensures immobilization of comb-shaped elements and contributes to the good hold of the clamp in the hair.
De préférence, les dents présentent une partie de base à relativement faible courbure, une partie intermédiaire à relativement forte courbure, s'étendant sur un arc d'environ 90°, et une partie d'extrémité libre à relativement faible courbure.Preferably, the teeth have a part of relatively low curvature base, some intermediate to relatively strong curvature, extending on an arc of about 90 °, and a free end part with relatively small curvature.
Les parties d'extrémité libre de deux dents en regard s'interpénètrent ainsi selon un angle important, ce qui favorise la venue de ces dents en contact mutuel lors de l'emprisonnement des cheveux, et par conséquent l'effet d'autoblocage. The free end portions of two teeth in gaze thus interpenetrate at an important angle, this which promotes the coming of these teeth in mutual contact during of the imprisonment of the hair, and therefore the effect self-locking.
Les dents peuvent présenter toute forme propre à augmenter le coincement des cheveux entre elles.The teeth may have any shape specific to increase the wedging of the hair between them.
Ainsi, l'ouverture aménagée dans une dent peut être de forme ovale, oblongue ou triangulaire, ou peut comprendre, du côté de l'extrémité libre de la dent, une partie élargie favorisant l'introduction de la dent située en regard, et, du côté de la base de la dent, une partie amincie favorisant le coincement des cheveux. Une même dent peut également comprendre deux ouvertures alignées longitudinalement, dans lesquelles la dent située en regard s'engage successivement lors du rapprochement des deux éléments en forme de peigne.Thus, the opening in a tooth can be oval, oblong or triangular, or may include, on the side of the free end of the tooth, a enlarged part favoring the introduction of the tooth located opposite, and, on the side of the base of the tooth, a part thinned favoring the trapping of the hair. The same tooth can also include two aligned openings longitudinally, in which the tooth located in regard engages successively during the reconciliation of two comb-shaped elements.
Une dent dépourvue d'ouverture peut, quant à elle, présenter une forme non rectiligne et/ou une section variable sur sa longueur, favorisant l'aménagement de chicanes de coincement des cheveux. Cette dent peut ainsi présenter une forme ondulée, ou une succession de portions élargies et rétrécies, ou encore une partie élargie à sa base et une partie d'extrémité libre amincie, destinées à coopérer avec une ouverture de forme correspondante.A tooth without an opening can, for its part, have a non-rectilinear shape and / or a section variable over its length, favoring the layout of hair trapping baffles. This tooth can thus have a wavy shape, or a succession of portions enlarged and narrowed, or a part enlarged at its base and a thinned free end portion, intended for cooperate with an opening of corresponding shape.
La répartition des dents d'un élément à l'autre peut être quelconque. Ainsi, les dents comprenant une ou plusieurs ouvertures et les dents dépourvues d'ouverture peuvent être alternées sur un même élément, de manière régulière ou non, ou toutes les dents comprenant une ouverture peuvent être aménagées sur le même élément, tandis que l'autre élément comprend toutes les dents dépourvues d'ouverture.The distribution of teeth from one element to another can be any. So the teeth comprising one or several openings and teeth without opening can be alternated on the same element, so regular or not, or all teeth with a opening can be arranged on the same element, while the other element includes all the teeth without opening.
Le corps des éléments peut, quant à lui, avoir une forme décorative quelconque.The body of the elements can have a any decorative form.
Pour sa bonne compréhension, l'invention est à
nouveau décrite ci-dessous en référence au dessin
schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non
limitatif, une forme de réalisation préférée de la pince à
cheveux qu'elle concerne.
Les figures 1 à 3 représentent, sous différents angles, une pince à cheveux 1 permettant de tenir des cheveux ou de confectionner une coiffure.Figures 1 to 3 show, under different angles, a hair clip 1 for holding hair or make a hairstyle.
La pince 1 comprend deux éléments 2 en forme de
peigne, présentant chacun un corps 3 de forme décorative
quelconque, et une série de dents 4a,4b.The clamp 1 comprises two

des deux éléments 2.Each
Un ressort en épingle 7 comprenant deux branches
7a est engagé sur l'axe 6, entre les pattes 5. Ces
branches 7a prennent appui contre les corps 3 et
maintiennent normalement les deux éléments 2 en position
rapprochée l'un de l'autre.A pin spring 7 comprising two branches
7a is engaged on the axis 6, between the

figure 3, les extrémités 3a des corps 3 opposés aux dents
4 sont recourbées vers l'extérieur et permettent, par une
pression manuelle exercée sur elles, de faire pivoter les
deux éléments 2 à l'encontre de la force élastique du
ressort 7, pour ouvrir la pince 1.As shown more particularly by the
Figure 3, the
Il apparaít aux figures 1 et 2 que les dents 4a
d'un élément 2 sont aménagées en face des dents 4b de
l'autre élément 2, et que les dents 4a présentent des
ouvertures ovales 8 dans lesquelles les dents 4b, de forme
effilée, sont engagées lorsque les deux éléments 2 sont en
position de rapprochement total ou partiel.It appears in Figures 1 and 2 that the
La figure 3 montre en outre que les dents 4a,4b
présentent chacune une partie de base 4a',4b' à faible
courbure, voire même quasiment rectiligne, une partie
intermédiaire 4a'',4b'' à relativement forte courbure,
s'étendant sur un arc d'environ 90°, et une partie
d'extrémité libre 4a''',4b''' à relativement faible
courbure.Figure 3 further shows that the
Grâce aux ouvertures 8 et à la forme précitée des
dents 4a et 4b, les parties d'extrémité libre 4a''',4b'''
s'interpénètrent selon un angle important, de l'ordre de
170° lorsque la pince 1 est totalement ou partiellement
fermée.Thanks to the
L'emprisonnement d'une masse de cheveux entre les
éléments 2 tend à presser ces parties 4a''',4b''' les unes
contre les autres, en les amenant en contact mutuel au
niveau des extrémités des ouvertures 8. Les frottements
ainsi générés permettent de créer un effet d'autoblocage
des éléments 2, qui assure un parfait maintien de la pince
dans les cheveux même en cas de mouvements relativement
brusques de la tête.The imprisonment of a mass of hair between the

nombreux rebords longitudinaux au niveau des dents 4a,4b,
qui viennent à proximité les uns des autres lorsque la
pince 1 est totalement ou partiellement fermée. Ces
rebords délimitent mutuellement de nombreuses chicanes de
coincement des cheveux. Ce coincement assure
l'immobilisation relative des éléments 2 et contribue à la
bonne tenue de la pince 1 dans la chevelure.In addition, thanks to the openings 10, it is created from
numerous longitudinal edges at the

éléments 2 peuvent présenter toute forme propre à
augmenter le coincement des cheveux entre elles.Figures 4 and 5 show that the teeth of
Ainsi, la figure 3 montre plusieurs dents 40a munies d'une ou de deux ouvertures de forme différente, à savoir, de la gauche vers la droite de la figure :
- une
ouverture 80 présentant, du côté de l'extrémité libre de la dent, une partie élargie 80a favorisant l'introduction de la dent située en regard, et, du côté de la base de la dent, une partie amincie 80b favorisant le coincement des cheveux ; - une
ouverture 81 présentant une forme triangulaire ; - une
ouverture 82 présentant une forme oblongue, avec une dent pourvue ou non d'une partie d'extrémité pointue 41 ; - deux
ouvertures 83 alignées longitudinalement, dans lesquelles la dent située en regard s'engage successivement lors du rapprochement des deux éléments formant la pince ; - une
ouverture 84 de petite dimension et de forme triangulaire, aménagée au niveau de l'extrémité libre de la dent.
- an opening 80 having, on the side of the free end of the tooth, an enlarged part 80a favoring the introduction of the tooth situated opposite, and, on the side of the base of the tooth, a thinned part 80b promoting the jamming of the hair ;
- an opening 81 having a triangular shape;
- an opening 82 having an oblong shape, with a tooth provided or not with a
pointed end portion 41; - two
openings 83 aligned longitudinally, in which the tooth located opposite engages successively when the two elements forming the clamp are brought together; - an opening 84 of small size and of triangular shape, arranged at the free end of the tooth.
Les dents 40b dépourvues d'ouverture peuvent présenter, quant à elles, ainsi que le montre la figure 5 :
- une partie élargie 42a à leur base et une partie d'extrémité libre amincie 42b, destinées à coopérer avec une ouverture de forme correspondante, telle que l'ouverture 80 ;
- des
ondulations 43, ou - une succession de portions élargies 44a et rétrécies 44b.
- an enlarged part 42a at their base and a thinned free end part 42b, intended to cooperate with an opening of corresponding shape, such as the
opening 80; - ripples 43, or
- a succession of widened 44a and narrowed 44b portions.
Les formes irrégulières ainsi constituées permettent l'aménagement de chicanes supplémentaires de coincement des cheveux.The irregular shapes thus formed allow the installation of additional baffles of hair jamming.
Il va de soi que l'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme de réalisation décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple mais qu'elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes de réalisation. Ainsi, d'autres formes de dents que celles montrées au dessin peuvent être envisagées, dès lors qu'elles assurent un effet d'autoblocage des éléments en forme de peigne et un coincement adéquat des cheveux.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above as example but that it embraces, on the contrary, all variant embodiments. So other forms of teeth than those shown in the drawing may be considered, as long as they have an effect of self-locking elements in the form of a comb and a adequate entrapment of hair.
En outre, la répartition des dents d'un élément à l'autre peut être quelconque. Les dents comprenant une ou plusieurs ouvertures et les dents dépourvues d'ouverture peuvent être alternées sur un même élément de manière régulière, comme montré au dessin, ou de manière irrégulière, par exemple deux ou trois dents munies d'une ouverture intercalées avec une dent dépourvue d'ouverture. Toutes les dents comprenant une ouverture peuvent également être aménagées sur le même élément, tandis que l'autre élément comprend toutes les dents dépourvues d'ouverture.In addition, the distribution of teeth from one element to the other can be any. Teeth comprising one or several openings and teeth without opening can be alternated on the same element so regular, as shown in the drawing, or so irregular, for example two or three teeth with a opening interspersed with a tooth without opening. All teeth with an opening can also be arranged on the same element, while the other element includes all the teeth without opening hours.
