Description

  The present invention relates to a hair stopper mainly used for pinching hair when performing hair setting or makeup.

  Conventionally, a hair stopper as described in Patent Document 1 has been used. In this conventional hair stopper, a pair of sandwiching pieces are pivotally attached to one end via a pivot, and the hair is sandwiched between the pair of sandwiching pieces using the force of a spring wound around the pivot. ing.

However, this conventional hair stopper is sufficient for hair when the volume of the user's hair is small, when the spring force is weak, or when a relatively large gap is generated between both sandwiched pieces near the pivot. There was a risk that the hair would slip through, making the wearing state unstable, and the hair style collapsed.
JP 2000-333721 A

  Therefore, the present invention reduces the gap between the two clamping pieces in the vicinity of the pivot, firmly presses the hair that passes near the pivot, and does not slip through the hair. The challenge is to provide no hair stopper.

  The hair stopper of the present invention is a combination of a pair of holding pieces 1 and 2 that can be opened and closed via a pivot 3, and a pressing member 4 is provided inside at least one of the holding pieces 1 and 2. The gap between the pieces 1 and 2 is made small.

  The pressing member 4 may have elasticity.

  Further, the pressing member 4 is flexible, and is bent so that one end side 4a is attached to the inside of one holding piece 1 and the other end side 4b is attached to the inside of the other holding piece 2. be able to.

  The hair stopper of the present invention has the above-described configuration, and the pressing member 4 reduces the gap between the sandwiching pieces 1 and 2 in the vicinity of the pivot 3 so that the hair 6 that passes through the vicinity of the pivot 3 is firmly attached. Therefore, the hair 6 can be prevented from slipping through and a stable wearing state can be obtained, and the hair style can be prevented from collapsing.

  The hair stopper of the present invention is a combination of a pair of holding pieces 1 and 2 that can be opened and closed via a pivot 3, and a pressing member 4 is provided inside at least one of the holding pieces 1 and 2. The gap between the pieces 1 and 2 is made small.

  Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the hair stopper according to the embodiment of the present invention when both sandwiching pieces 1 and 2 are opened, FIG. 2 is a front view of the pressing member 4, and FIG. FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing a state in which the hair 6 is sandwiched between the hair stoppers.

  As shown in FIG. 1, this hair stopper has a pair of clamping pieces 1 and 2 pivoted on one end side (the right side in FIG. 1) via a pivot 3, and a spring 5 wound around the pivot 3. The hair 6 is sandwiched between the both sandwiching pieces 1 and 2 using the force of the above.

  When this hair stopper is mounted on the user's head, one clamping piece 1 is positioned on the upper side and the other clamping piece 2 is positioned on the lower side. Both sandwiching pieces 1 and 2 have a bird's beak-like shape and are curved so as to bulge upward. The width gradually decreases from one end to the other end (left side in FIG. 1). Although it is substantially semicircular, it is not particularly limited to this shape. Both sandwiching pieces 1 and 2 can be made of metal, synthetic resin, or the like.

  Projection portions 7 and 8 projecting toward the sandwiching pieces 1 and 2 facing both sides in the width direction are formed on one end side of the both sandwiching pieces 1 and 2. The sandwiching pieces 1 and 2 are combined in such a manner that the projecting portions 8 and 8 of the other sandwiching piece 1 and 2 overlap inside the parts 7 and 7, and the pivot 3 is attached to the hole 9 formed therein. In this embodiment, the pivot 3 is a rivet.

  In this hair stopper, the end portions on the one end side of both sandwiching pieces 1 and 2 are opening and closing portions 10 and 11, respectively. By pressing these opening and closing portions 10 and 11 from both the upper and lower sides, it is shown in FIG. It can be in an open state.

  The pressing member 4 is preferably elastic and flexible, and has a high frictional resistance so that the hair 6 does not slip. For example, the pressing member 4 can be made of silicon rubber or raw rubber. As shown in FIG. 2, the pressing member 4 has one end side 4 a and the other end side 4 b formed in a tube shape, and is bent at a substantially central portion 4 c so that the one end side 4 a is attached to the inside of one holding piece 1. The other end 4b is attached to the inside of the other holding piece 2.

  The pressing member 4 is mounted on the other end side (left side in FIG. 1) of the pivot 3 of the sandwiching pieces 1 and 2 with a part of the upper surface thereof in contact with the inner surfaces of the sandwiching pieces 1 and 2. For attaching the pressing member 4, the state in which the pressing member 4 is fixed to the sandwiching pieces 1, 2 can be maintained by using an adhesive on the contact surface with the sandwiching pieces 1, 2. If the pressing member 4 has elasticity and is in close contact with the inner surfaces of the sandwiching pieces 1 and 2 in a natural state, the state of being fixed to the sandwiching pieces 1 and 2 is maintained without using an adhesive. And it is detachable.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the pressing member 4 has a bent substantially central portion 4c located on the left side of the spring 5 wound around the pivot 3, and covers the pivot 3 and the spring 5 when viewed from the left. Therefore, the user's hair 6 is prevented from being entangled with the pivot 3 and the spring 5.

  In this embodiment, the pressing member 4 has a hollow tube shape, but it does not have to be hollow. For example, the pressing member 4 may have a thick sponge shape.

  Since the hair stopper is configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 4, the user's hair 6 is firmly sandwiched between the pressing members 4 and is prevented from slipping through. Therefore, the hair stopper is maintained in a state of being stably attached to the hair 6. In particular, this effect is prominent when the volume of the user's hair 6 is small.

  In addition, this hair stopper can be provided with the pressing member 4 only on one of the holding pieces 1 and 2. FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the hair stopper of the present invention, in which the pressing member 4 is provided only on the inner side of the other holding piece 2 (lower side), but the pressing member 4 on the inner side of both holding pieces 1 and 2. It is a figure which shows the attachment state of. FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the hair stopper of the present invention, in which the pressing member 4 is provided on the inner side of only one clamping piece 1 (upper side). It is a figure which shows an attachment state.

  When the volume of the user's hair 6 is relatively large, a hair stopper in which the pressing member 4 is provided only on one of the both sandwiching pieces 1 and 2 as described above can be used.

  The hair stopper of the present invention is not limited to the shape and material shown in this embodiment, and can be implemented in an appropriate manner.

  It can be used for hair set or makeup.
