Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une pince à cheveux.The present invention relates to a hair clip.
Elle concerne plus particulièrement une pince comprenant d'une part deux mâchoires chacune avec une partie de préhension, articulées l'une par rapport à l'autre autour d'un axe entre une position fermée et une position ouverte de la pince, et rappelées en position fermée par un ressort hélicoïdal enfilé sur ledit axe, et d'autre part une pièce de masquage dudit ressort, disposée entre les deux parties de préhension de manière à recouvrir la partie dudit ressort enfilée sur ledit axe.It relates more particularly to pliers comprising on the one hand two jaws each with a gripping part, articulated one with respect to each other around an axis between a closed position and an open position of the clamp, and returned to the closed position by a helical spring threaded on said axis, and on the other hand a masking piece of said spring, disposed between the two gripping parts so as to cover the part of said threaded spring on said axis.
Il est à noter que sans pièce de masquage, lorsque la pince à cheveux est en place, les parties de préhension sont écartées l'une de l'autre de telle sorte que le mécanisme d'articulation desdites mâchoires, à savoir l'axe et surtout le ressort de rappel enfilé sur ledit axe, est visible, ce qui est inesthétique.It should be noted that without a masking piece, when the hair clip is in place, the gripping parts are spaced from each other so that that the articulation mechanism of said jaws, namely the axis and especially the return spring threaded on said axis, is visible, which is unsightly.
On connaít déjà du document EP 0 901 759, une pince à cheveux telle que précitée dans laquelle les deux brins d'extrémité du ressort sont montés de façon tout à fait classique, prenant chacun appui sur la face interne de la partie de préhension d'une mâchoire. La pièce de masquage d'une telle pièce, qu'elle soit constituée d'une ou de deux partie(s), comprend alors des échancrures dans ses bords latéraux autorisant le passage desdits brins d'extrémité du ressort de rappel de sorte que ceux-ci restent visibles.We already know from document EP 0 901 759, a hair clip such as above in which the two end strands of the spring are mounted completely classic way, each taking support on the internal face of the part gripping of a jaw. The masking part of such a part, that it is made up of one or two part (s), then includes notches in its lateral edges allowing the passage of said end strands of the spring of reminder so that these remain visible.
Bien que lesdits brins d'extrémité du ressort de rappel soient de petite dimension, le fait qu'ils restent visibles au-delà de la pièce de masquage rend l'esthétique d'une telle pince imparfaite.Although said end strands of the return spring are small dimension, the fact that they remain visible beyond the masking piece makes the aesthetics of such imperfect pliers.
Par rapport à l'état de la technique précité, la présente invention propose alors une nouvelle pince à cheveux dans laquelle l'agencement de la pièce de masquage est relativement simple, peu encombrant, et permet de rendre totalement invisible le ressort de rappel de sorte que l'aspect externe de cette pince est amélioré.Compared to the aforementioned prior art, the present invention provides then a new hair clip in which the arrangement of the piece of masking is relatively simple, space-saving, and makes it possible to make completely invisible the return spring so the external appearance of this clamp is improved.
Plus particulièrement, selon une caractéristique essentielle de la pince à cheveux conforme à l'invention, ladite pièce de masquage comporte deux parties juxtaposées suivant la direction dudit axe, chacune desdites parties de la pièce de masquage étant solidaire de la partie de préhension d'une mâchoire et présentant une surface intérieure, tournée vers le ressort hélicoïdal, chaque brin d'extrémité dudit ressort prend appui contre chaque partie correspondante de ladite pièce de masquage de sorte que le lieu de débattement desdits brins d'extrémité dudit ressort, lors de l'ouverture et de la fermeture de ladite pince, est situé sous ladite pièce de masquage.More particularly, according to an essential characteristic of the pliers hair according to the invention, said masking piece has two parts juxtaposed in the direction of said axis, each of said parts of the part masking being integral with the gripping part of a jaw and having an inner surface facing the coil spring, each strand end of said spring bears against each corresponding part of said masking piece so that the place of travel of said strands end of said spring, when opening and closing of said clamp, is located under said masking piece.
Ainsi, selon l'invention le montage du ressort de rappel sur ladite pince est inversé par rapport au montage classique, et ledit ressort, y compris ses brins d'extrémité, est totalement dissimulé sous la pièce de masquage de sorte qu'il est invisible de l'extérieur.Thus, according to the invention, the mounting of the return spring on said clamp is inverted compared to conventional mounting, and said spring, including its strands end, is completely concealed under the masking piece so that it is invisible from the outside.
D'autres caractéristiques non limitatives et avantageuses de la pince à cheveux selon l'invention sont les suivantes :
- chaque partie de la pièce de masquage présente une surface intérieure tournée vers le ressort hélicoïdal sur laquelle prend appui un brin d'extrémité du ressort ;
- chaque partie de la pièce de masquage vient de formation avec une mâchoire ;
- chaque partie de la pièce de masquage est rapportée sur une mâchoire ;
- la pièce de masquage peut être agencée de sorte que lors de l'ouverture de ladite pince, chaque partie de la pièce de masquage solidaire d'une mâchoire s'efface sous l'autre mâchoire. Dans ce cas, préférentiellement, chaque mâchoire comporte deux oreilles percées d'un orifice pour le passage dudit axe, et placées d'un même côté dudit ressort de sorte que ce dernier est positionné entre les deux paires d'oreilles desdites mâchoires. Pour chaque mâchoire, d'une part, l'oreille située la plus à l'extérieur par rapport au ressort peut faire partie intégrante de la partie de la pièce de masquage associée à ladite mâchoire, et est formée par un retour latéral de celle-ci, et d'autre part, l'oreille située le plus à l'intérieur par rapport au ressort vient de formation avec ladite mâchoire et est placée sous chaque partie de la pièce de masquage ;
- la pièce de masquage peut être agencée de sorte que lors de l'ouverture de ladite pince, chaque partie de la pièce de masquage solidaire d'une mâchoire vient se positionner sur la surface externe de l'autre mâchoire. Dans ce cas, il est prévu à la jonction de la partie de préhension et du mors de chaque mâchoire une fente longitudinale pour le passage de la partie de la pièce de masquage associée à l'autre mâchoire, et au droit de chaque fente longitudinale, il est prévu dans le mors de chaque mâchoire une fente transversale pour le passage du brin d'extrémité dudit ressort en appui contre la surface intérieure de la partie de la pièce de masquage associée, lors de l'ouverture de ladite pince. Selon ce mode de réalisation, chaque mâchoire comprend indépendamment de la pièce de masquage deux oreilles pour le passage dudit axe, placées de part et d'autre dudit ressort ; selon une variante, on peut prévoir que chaque mâchoire comprend indépendamment de la pièce de masquage deux oreilles pour le passage dudit axe, placées d'un même côté dudit ressort, de sorte que ce dernier est positionné entre les deux paires d'oreilles desdites mâchoires ;
- chaque partie de la pièce de masquage présente un profil sensiblement courbe enveloppant le ressort et l'axe d'articulation ; et
- chaque mâchoire est formée d'une seule pièce par moulage d'une matière plastique.
- each part of the masking piece has an inner surface facing the helical spring on which bears an end strand of the spring;
- each part of the masking piece comes in formation with a jaw;
- each part of the masking piece is attached to a jaw;
- the masking piece can be arranged so that when said clamp is opened, each part of the masking piece secured to a jaw disappears under the other jaw. In this case, preferably, each jaw has two ears pierced with an orifice for the passage of said axis, and placed on the same side of said spring so that the latter is positioned between the two pairs of ears of said jaws. For each jaw, on the one hand, the ear located furthest to the outside with respect to the spring can be an integral part of the part of the masking piece associated with said jaw, and is formed by a lateral return of the latter. ci, and on the other hand, the ear located furthest inward relative to the spring comes from formation with said jaw and is placed under each part of the masking piece;
- the masking piece can be arranged so that when said clamp is opened, each part of the masking piece secured to a jaw is positioned on the external surface of the other jaw. In this case, a longitudinal slot is provided at the junction of the grip part and the jaw of each jaw for the passage of the part of the masking piece associated with the other jaw, and in line with each longitudinal slot, there is provided in the jaw of each jaw a transverse slot for the passage of the end strand of said spring bearing against the inner surface of the part of the associated masking piece, during the opening of said clamp. According to this embodiment, each jaw independently of the masking piece has two ears for the passage of said axis, placed on either side of said spring; according to a variant, it can be provided that each jaw independently of the masking piece has two ears for the passage of said axis, placed on the same side of said spring, so that the latter is positioned between the two pairs of ears of said jaws ;
- each part of the masking part has a substantially curved profile enveloping the spring and the articulation axis; and
- each jaw is formed in one piece by molding a plastic material.
