WITNESS:
I Patented Feb. 15, 192 7 UNITED STATES. PATENTIQFAFICE- I GRACE E. ALMQUIST, OF LA PORTE, TEXAS.
.HAIRPIN.
Application filed July 31,1925. Serial No. 47,302.
This invention relates to hairpins and has for its object the provision of a. novel device of this character so constructed and ari'anged as to hold the hair securely in place.
, a device of this character which will be en cient and durable in service and a general. I V
' V constructed that it cannot accidentally drop tremely simple and inexpensive in manufacture, easy to apply, positive 111 action, eliiimprovement in the art.
\Vith the above and other objects and advantages in view, the invention consists in the details of construction to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying. drawings,
wherein Figure 1 is a front elevation of the hairpin, and
Figure 2 is an edge elevation thereof.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, I have shown the hairpin, designated generally by the numeral 10, as formed from a single length of suitable wire which may be enameled or otherwise treated or which may be of any desired material and gage. This length of wire is bent intermediate its ends as indicated at 11 into a substantial U- shape so as to provide spaced parallel arms 12 connected by an. eye portion 13. Intermediate their ends the arms 12 are bent toward each other as indicated at 1 1 and are normally arranged in contact so that the eye 13 will be closed. The bending at the point 14 provides a pair of humpswhich are, however, rounded and entirely free from sharp angles. The sides of the eye portion 13 are bent as indicated at 15 so that the eye portion will be substantially diamond shaped I whereas the remaining portion is substantially U-shaped.- I
The hair pin is of course used in exactly the same manner as others but it will be observed that when it is forced through the hairthe parallelism of the arms 12 willpre vent them from being spread apart until the wisp or strand of hair engaged between them.con'ies -in'to' contact with the humppro vided by the portions 14, or points of bend- 'ing, subsequently to whicli'the strand or wisp of hair will enter the diamond shaped eye or loop 13. As soon as the hair has passed by the hump defined by the bent point 14 and enters the loop 13 the arms 12 position the hump again contacting and the within theloop or "eye so that displacement of the pin will positively be prevented.
From the foregoing description and a study of the drawings it willbe apparent that I have thus provided an extremely simple'a-nd inexpensive hairpin which possesses the advantage of being able to hold the hair very securely and firmly and which is so out of place. It is believed that the construction, use and adi' antages-will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art without further explanation.
vVhile I have shown and described the wisp or strand of hair being firmly confined will automatically return to their normal preferred embodiment of the invention, it
should be understood that I reserve'the right to make such changes in the details of the shape as will not depart from the spirit'of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.
Having thus described the invention, I
claim 1. A hairpin including a pair of spaced parallel arms merging into stantially diamond shape, merging of the arms into formed with contacting humps and the arms curving gradually toward the hump.
an eye of'subthe points of the eye being 2. A hairpin formed from a single length of wire bent intermediate its ends at a substantially right angle to define a pair of arms, the arms being rebent at points spaced slightly from the first named bendto define converging portions arranged in contacting relation and defining a diamond shaped eye. the arms being curved gradually. from the contacting portions and the major portions thereof being arranged in spaced parallel relation.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
GRACE E. ALMQUIST.
