Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an improvement in a hair clip used for clipping hair.

(Prior Art) Various hair clips have been provided for some time. However, recently, there is a tendency for hair clips to be used as accessories, and there is also a trend towards higher quality hair clips. For this reason, when users attach clips to their hair, they are very concerned about whether the clips are misaligned or distorted relative to the hair, or whether they have fallen out of the hair. .
FIG. 6 shows an example of this type of hair clip, which consists of a clip body 21 and a clip piece 23 that can be expanded and contracted with the clip body 22 by means of a support shaft 22. , a locking part 27 consisting of teeth 28 arranged in a longitudinal direction is provided for clamping the hair between the clip piece 23,
In order to close the locking portion 27 and the clip piece 23, a spring 31 is provided on the support shaft 22 for biasing the main body 21 and the clip piece 23 in the closing direction.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) When the device having the above structure is used, the hair is simply held between the locking part 27 of the main body 21 and the clip piece 23. The clips were insufficient and unstable, and the clips could easily shift or become distorted, which did not provide a good feeling of use, and in some cases there was a risk that the clips would fall out of the hair. In this regard, if the spring is made stronger, the force for clamping the hair can be increased, but in that case, there is a risk of damaging the hair.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The purpose of the present invention is to provide a hair clip that can be strongly and stably clamped without damaging the hair. A locking portion 7 consisting of teeth 8 arranged in a longitudinal direction is provided on the back surface of the clip body 1 of the clip piece 1 and the clip piece 3, and the locking portion 7 consists of teeth 8 arranged in a longitudinal direction for pinching the hair between the clip piece 3 and the clip body 1. The support shaft 2 is provided with a spring 11 that biases the main body 1 and the clip member 3 in the closing direction in order to close the portion 7 and the clip piece 3. A cutout groove 13 for hair retention in the axial direction is formed between the portion 7 and the end on the support shaft 2 side, and a protrusion 13 is provided near the free end of the clip piece 3 to prevent the hair from coming out when clipped. 14
A locking portion 10 is provided which projects toward the back surface of the clip body 1 and is comprised of teeth 9 that engage with the locking portion 7 of the clip body 1.

(Function) The function of the hair clip of the present invention constructed as described above will be explained based on FIG. 4. First, the clip body 1 resists the elastic force of the spring 11 provided on the support shaft 2.
and the clip pieces 3 are expanded, and both the locking parts 7 and 1 are opened.
0 are released from each other, and with the hair 12 to be clamped positioned between the locking parts 7 and 10, the locking parts 7 and 10 are closed by the spring 11. At this time, the locking portion 7,
The 10 teeth 8 and 9 bite into the hair 12 and engage with each other, thereby strongly pinching the hair 12, and at the same time, a part of the hair on the support shaft 2 side is held in that position by the notch groove 13 on the back surface of the main body 1. Furthermore, the protrusion 14 of the clip piece 3 prevents the clip from coming off from the clipped hair.

(Embodiment) In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the hair clip of the present invention includes a clip body 1 and a support shaft 2.
The clip consists of a clip body 1 and a clip piece 3 which can be expanded and contracted.The body 1 is made of, for example, hard synthetic resin, and the clip piece 3 is made of, for example, elastic thermoplastic resin. Note that the shape and pattern of the main body 1 are not limited to this. A protrusion 4 is provided on the back surface of the main body 1 so as to protrude over substantially the entire length in the longitudinal direction, and a pair of shaft support pieces 5 are overlapped with a pair of shaft support pieces 5 provided near one end of the protrusion 4. 6 and 6 are provided on the clip piece 3, and a support shaft 2 is provided passing through both shaft support pieces 5 and 6. Reference numeral 7 denotes a locking portion, which is arranged in a row at a predetermined interval in the center of the protrusion 4 of the main body 1.
It is composed of rows of teeth 8, and the locking portion 7 is sandwiched from both sides and interlocked with each other.
A locking portion 10 consisting of teeth 9 arranged in parallel rows is provided on the clip piece 3. In addition, the main body 1 has a locking portion consisting of two rows of parallel teeth on the protrusion 4, and the clip piece 3 has a locking portion consisting of one row of teeth that is sandwiched between the teeth on both sides of the locking portion. Alternatively, a locking portion consisting of two rows of parallel teeth may be provided on the protrusion 4 of the main body 1, and a locking portion consisting of two rows of parallel teeth sandwiched between the teeth on both sides of the locking portion may be provided on the clip piece 3. A locking portion consisting of
Furthermore, the locking portion 7 may be provided directly on the main body 1. 11
is a spring provided on the support shaft 2, and the elastic force of the spring 11 urges the main body 1 and the clip piece 3 in the closing direction and both the locking parts 7 and 10 are closed.
The hair 12 is bitten and pinched between the teeth 8 and 9 by the teeth 8 and 9. Reference numeral 13 denotes a notch groove for hair retention, which is provided on the back surface of the main body 1, extending in the axial direction from the protrusion 4 to a part of the main body 1 between the support shaft 2 and the end of the locking part 7 on the support shaft 2 side. A part of the hair on the side of the support shaft 2 is retained in the notch groove 13 at that position. The cutout groove 13 prevents the clip from slipping against the hair. In addition, notch groove 1
3 may be provided directly on the main body 1 as shown in FIG. Reference numeral 14 denotes a protrusion, which protrudes near the free end of the clip piece 3 toward the back surface of the main body 1 so as to be in contact with the main body 1. The protrusion 14 guides the clip to the hair 12 and It is said to prevent trapped hair from coming out.

(Effect of the invention) In the present invention, a notch groove 13 for hair retention in the axial direction is formed on the back surface of the clip main body 1 between the support shaft 2 and the end of the support shaft 2 side of the locking part 7, and the clip piece 3 Near the free end, a protrusion 14 is provided protruding toward the back surface of the clip body 1, and a locking portion 10 consisting of teeth 9 that mesh with the locking portion 7 of the main body 1 is provided. , When in use, the hair 12 is attached to both the locking parts 7,
10 is bitten by both teeth 8 and 9 and strongly clamped, and a part of the hair on the side of the support shaft 2 is inserted into the notch groove 13.
Since the clip is held in that position and does not shift, and the protrusion 14 prevents the clip from coming off from the clipped hair, the clip can be properly attached without shifting or being distorted relative to the hair. This is a great benefit since there is no risk of the hair falling off accidentally.
