Claims.
This invention relates .to new and useful irn-l provements in hair pins. n
The invention has for an object theconstruction of a hair pin. which. is adaptedtol clamp it-y 6 self vupon strands of the hair so. as topi-'event accidental fall-ing out. Still further. the invention proposes an arrangement whereby the: hai: pin. is provided. with por tions bent therefrom' adapted to do.- the clamp-` 101 ing for maintaining the hairpin in the hai-r.
Still further it is proposed to so` constructrthe hair pin that the bent portion thereof projects from the hair and constitutes a `handle by which the hair pin may be engaged and removed fromv the hair.
Furthermore as another object of this invention it is proposed tobend certain portions `ofthe hair pin in such a ina-nner so as to more thoroughly and elciently grip the hair.Y
As another object of thisv invention it is also proposed to provide as a modification a hair pin provided with small slidable portions adapted to clamp-strandsof hair for the purposey of holding the haii: pin in the hair. t
Still further the invention proposes the. con,- struction of an article as mentioned which is' simple and durable andwhich may vbe `manufactured and sold at a reasonable-cost.
For further comprehension of the invention. and ofthe'objects and advantages thereof, `reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features ofthe invention are more particularly set forth.vrv

I'hehair pin according tor this invention com-k prises a piece of wire bent' substantiallyA at the center l0. andhavingapair of parallel shank portionsll' all in a connnon plane. Each ofthe portions. l lhasa bent portionnear its base forming inward directed points l2 in the Saidn ccvimnion` plane fand arranged in such a manner soythat the, adjacentsides i3 ofthe points i2 and' the'inner sides i4 of` the 'Shanks HI are adapted to clamp strands of hair therebetween for the purpose of holding the hair pin from accidentally falling outv froinfthefhair.. *The Shanks ll are shown formedjwith wavy vportions l5, which is conventional construction.. for further aiding in holding the. hair. pin; in theha'ir." j'
The central bent portion .t0 comprises a handl byV which the hair pin'may be gripped when' it is engaged' and removedfrom the hair. The points |22 are formedby bendingivthe portions I6 of the wire rearwards. and the. shanks |15 are continuations 'from'the'portions `lli but extend towards the front.4r` l 'I he hair pinis usedin a conventional manner except, forv thefV fact that when engaged into' thehair some A"of the strands will naturally engage "betw'een 'the adjacent surfaces i3 and M' 'of the 'puiintsl t2 'andthe Shanks yI5 and so tendtolioldthe hair pin from coming out. The points l2 are adaptedto. easily engage in among the hairsjso as to guide somev ofthe strands between 4the clampingsurfaces.. AThe hair pin may bepwithdrawn bygripping the handle portion Hl and pulling upon it to cause the strands clamped as before explained, to disengage.
In Fig. 2 anotherhairI pin has been disclosed which isidentical tol the arrangement shown in Fig. `l exceptfor the fact that itis provided withv shankV portions Il of straight construction contrasted with rthey previous arrangement where .thev Shanks -`have the `wavy portion l5. In other respectslthis hair pin is identical to that previously described and similar parts may be recognized by the same reference numerals..
' In Fig. 3 another type of hair pin has been shown embodying the same principle of this invention and distinguishing frorn` the previous form merely in the fact that it is provided with ing reference numerals. The distinction of this form resides in the fact that the strands of hair entering between the surfaces I3 and I4 will have a tendency to engage into the seam of the twist at the points I1 of the twisted portion and so insure a greater gripping action. The rear portions of the twisted portions I6 may also be used as handles for better gripping the hair pin.
In Figs. 4 land 5 another embodiment of the invention has been disclosed wherein there are rearward bent portions Ilia from the points I2 and being bent out, of the common plane of the remaining portion of the wire comprising the hair pin. More particularly one of the portions I (ifL is bent outwards and the otherupwards as clearly illustrated in Fig. 5. In otherY respects this form of hair pinis identical to the form described in Fig. 1 and similar parts may be recognized by corresponding referencenumerals. the fact that` in addition to strands of hair being clamped between" the gripping surfaces I3 and I4, one or the other of the portions IIia bent out of the plane of the hair pin will engage at right langles into the hair and so tend to aid in holding the hair pin from coming out of the hair. A feature is that irrespective of the manner in which the hair pin is engaged in the' hair either one or the other of the bent portions Ita will be directed towards the head and so engage the hair.
In Fig. 6 another modiiied form of the inven-A tion has. been disclosed wherein each of the shanks are provided with oppositely directed pointed portions functioning to produce oppositely directed gripping' points to better prevent the hair pin from disengaging from the hair. More particularly this hair pin comprises a central bent portion Il)` of substantially U-shape from which there are rearward bent portions I6 forming the points I2. The shanks II are continuations from the rearward bent portions I6 but these shanks are provided with rearward bent portions I9 arranged to terminate a slight distance from the points I2 as clearly illustrated on the drawing. With this arrangement there are clamping points between the sides I3 of the points I2 and the inner sides: I4 of the shank. Still further there are other clamping points between the inner sides 20 of the pointed portions I 3 and the inner sidesl4 of the Shanks. The arrangement is such that when the hairpin is engaged inwards into the hair the rearward bent portion I9 willtend to guide the hair against the inner side I3 of the points I2 and these sides I 3 will guide the hair inwards into the area between the points I2 and I9. The strands entering this area will be clamped in the points between the sides I3 and I4. Other of the strands entering this area will be clamped in the points between the'sides I4 and 20, particularly should the hair pins have a tendency to move outwards. It is obvious that with this arrangement the hair pins once engaged properly in the hair cannot possibly accidentally fall from their positions. To remove the hair pins it is necessary that the strands of hair be guided out from between the points I9 or I2 or it is necessary that the strands of hair be pulled through the area so that the free ends of the strands actually pass out from this confining area.
In Figs. '7 and 8another modified form of the invention has been disclosed wherein a hair pin is shown comprising a central bent portion I 0 The feature of this hair pin resides in4 constituting a handle for the hair pin and continuations from the bent portion comprising parallel shank portions I I. These shank portions are in a common plane with the bent portion I0. Near the bases of the shank portions I I there are rearward bent portions I9 also in the same common planes arranged to have inner sides 2U adapted to clamp hair in conjunction with the inner sides I 4-of the shank. In addition to sup.- plement the clamping action small fingers 22 project from collars 23 slidably arranged upon the arms of the U-shaped bend I0. An arrangement 'is provided to prevent rotation of these fingers and comprises flattening portions 24 Y against which the sides of the clamps 23 engage.'
These clamps are adapted to frictionally engage the flattened sides I4 so as to maintain in set portion of longitudinal adjustment. When this hair pinis-engaged in the hair certain of the strands will be guided into the areabetween the fingers 22 and-the rearward bent portionsIS and certain of these strands will lbe clamped'between right is reserved to all changes and modificationsv coming within the scope of the invention asdened in the appended claims. l Having thus described my invention; what I claim as new and desire to secure by UnitedA States Letters Patent isz- 1. A hair pin, comprising a piece of wire bent substantially in the center and having a pair of parallel shank portions in a common plane, and each shank portion associated with a portion near the base including inward directed points in said common plane and the adjacent sides of said shanks and point portions being adapted to clamp strands of hair for the purpose of holding the'hair pin from accidentally falling out.
2. A hair pin, comprising a central U-Shaped portion constituting a handle, rearward bent portions from the ends thereof and extending up and down out of the plane of said handle and forward continuations from said rear bent portions in the same plane as said U-shaped portion com-l prising a pair of parallel shank portions forr the hair pin.
3. A hair pin, comprising a central U-shaped portion constituting a handle rearward bent portions from the ends thereof and extending up and down out of the plane of said handle, and forward continuations fromV said rear bent portions in the same plane as said U-shaped portion comprising a pair of parallel shank portions for the hair pin, the adjacent sides of the rearward bentportions and the shanks being adapted to clamp strands of hair for the purpose of holding the hair pin from accidentally falling out of the hair, and one or the other of said portions bent outof the common plane being adapted to engage into the hair for further holding the hair pins from displacement.
4. A hair pin, comprising a piece of wire bent substantially in the center and having a pair of parallel shank portions in a common plane, and
each shank portion associated with a portion near thebase thereof forming inward directed points in said common plane and the adjacent sides of said shanks and point portions being adapted to clamp strands of hair for the purpose of holding the hair pin from accidentalbL falling out, said shank portions also being provided with rearward extending angular portions opposed to said pointed portions for guiding strands of hair within the area divided off by these parts and also to provide additional clamping portions for the air located between the adjacent sides of said upward angular portions and the rear sides of said shank portions.
5. A hair pin, comprising a U-shaped central portion with a pair of parallel shank continuations, each of said shank continuations being provided with rearward bent angular portions near the base thereof, and fingers slidably arranged upon the Shanks and extended in the same plane as said shanks and rearward angular portions, and adapted to clamp hair substantiall0 Y ly as described.
