Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hair clip.
  • such a clamp comprises two jaws articulated to one another, which are movable between a storage position, in which they are mutually close together, and a position of use, in which they are slightly apart the one of the other, so as to seize and hold the hair.
  • These two jaws are articulated relative to each other about an axis, which cooperates with a hinge.
  • this hinge is formed by two pairs of legs, which are respectively provided with first and second jaws, through which penetrates the hinge axis. These two pairs of legs, which are nested one inside the other, form the respective male and female parts of this hinge. It is also provided a spring, adapted to recall the two jaws in their storage position, mentioned above.
  • this clamp In view of mounting this clamp, it is first of all to thread the axis in the first two adjacent legs, which make up part of the hinge. Then, we place manually the spring, facing the axis and positioned.
  • a hair clip of the aforementioned type, is described in particular in US-A-5,787,905 .
  • a hair clip whose teeth have an extension, capable of forming a cover in the position of use mentioned above.
  • the latter is adapted to cover at least partially the axis and the return spring, which is advantageous from an aesthetic point of view.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a hair clip which is provided with a hinge male portion modified with respect to the prior art, while having a satisfactory aesthetic character, as well as a cost and a time of repair. mounting equivalent to previous solutions.
  • a hair clip which comprises first and second jaws articulated to each other about a hinge axis adapted to cooperate with a hinge of said hair clip, these two jaws being movable between a storage position, in which these jaws are brought together, and a position of use, in which these jaws are spaced apart, said clamp being provided with a return spring towards said storage position, characterized in that the hinge comprises a solid hinge member, extending from the first jaw, which is hollowed out of a housing for receiving and holding in position the winding and a first free end of the spring, so that the axis extends in service through this winding as well as female articulation means, only the second free end of the spring protruding out of the housing.
  • the hair clip shown in all the figures, which is assigned reference 2 comprises first and second jaws 4 and 6, each of which has, seen from the side, a roughly semicircular curved shape.
  • Each jaw 4, 6 comprises a solid middle portion 8, 10, which is extended at a first end by a series of parallel teeth 12, 14. These are adapted to ensure the maintenance of the hair when using the clamp, as will be explained in what follows.
  • the conformation of these teeth 12, 14 is such that they are capable of interlocking into each other.
  • each jaw 4, 6 is provided with an actuating lever 16, 18, of a type known per se. These two levers 16 and 18 are able to mutually separate the two jaws 4 and 6, from the storage position of the clamp, as will be explained in the following.
  • a male articulation member of massive shape, which is designated as a whole by the reference 20.
  • This member comprises a solid upper web 22, extending from the jaw 4, which has one end free rounded 22 ', forming a return towards the jaw 4.
  • the massive hinge member 20 is hollowed out of a housing which opens out on the two lateral faces of this member 20.
  • This housing which is designated as a whole by the reference 24, comprises first of all a main part cylindrical 24 ', open at both ends, which is formed in the vicinity of the free end 22'.
  • This main portion 24 ' is extended by a radial slot 24 ", extending towards the upper web 22.
  • This slot 24 also opens on both side faces of the member 20, but does not open at the level of the full web 22.
  • an indentation 26 is formed in the solid member 20, in the vicinity of its free end 22 '. This indentation avoids the phenomena of shrinkage.
  • an oblique ramp 30 which allows the support of a free end of a spring, as will be seen in more detail in what follows.
  • the jaw 6 is hollowed with a notch 36 for receiving the free end of the spring, as will be seen in what follows.
  • the hair clip according to the invention also comprises female articulation means, namely two clevises 32 'and 32 ", extending in a manner known per se from the jaw 6.
  • Each yoke 32' or 32" is hollow of a through hole 34 'or 34 ", intended for the passage of an axis as will be seen in the following:
  • the two yokes are connected by a web 35, in which is hollowed a slot 35'.
  • the hair clip 2 finally comprises a return spring 38, which is formed of a central winding of turns 40, the outer dimensions substantially correspond to those of the cylindrical portion of the aforementioned housing 24, and two straight free ends 42 and 42 "It will be noted however that the end 42 'is much shorter than that 42", since it has a length corresponding substantially to that of the slot 24 "of the housing 24.
  • This spring 38 is finally associated with a axis 44, of conventional structure.
  • the spring 38 contributes to mutually bring together the two jaws 4 and 6.
  • the articulation of the two jaws takes place around the assembly formed by the axis 44 and the winding 40 of the spring 38.
  • these levers are released, so that the spring 38 recalls the jaws 4 and 6 one towards the other, so as to maintain the hair.
  • the full web 22 can hide a major part of the winding 40 of the spring 38, especially when the clamp is viewed from above. It should also be noted that only the long end 42 "of the spring 38 protrudes out of the housing 24, being interposed between the walls facing the male member 20 and a corresponding yoke 32". On the other hand, the short end 42 'of the spring 38 is received in the slot 24 "of the housing 24, so that it is hidden by the solid web 22, which extends close to the other clevis 32' ( see also Figure 3).
  • the invention achieves the previously mentioned objectives.
  • the massive hinge member 20 associated with its housing 24 for receiving and maintaining the position of the spring 38, replaces the male yokes of the prior art.
  • This massive member 20 is thus centered between the female clevises 32 'and 32 ".
  • the axis 44 is capable of penetrating into the internal volume of the winding 40 of the spring 38, which ensures the refocusing of the male member 20 and the spring 38 relative to the two female clevises 32 'and 32 " It will be noted that this winding 40 is interposed between the walls of the housing 24 and the axis 44, so that it forms a spacer between this axis and the solid hinge member 20.
  • the presence of the veil 22 is advantageous in aesthetic terms, since it allows to hide the winding of the spring, as well as one of its ends.
  • the full character of this veil 22 is also worth noting, in comparison with the teaching of FR-A-2,804,295 , in which the overlap is formed by the cooperation of the teeth of the two jaws.
  • the articulation hinge of the clamp of the invention is of great strength.
  • the housing 24 is substantially closed, at its side walls, in particular thanks to the presence of continuous peripheral strips 28 which provide high rigidity (see Figure 3).
