Definitions
- This invention relates to improvements in hair clips and more particularly to an improved hair clip for firmly holding hair while preventing damage and facilitating securing of hair.
- Hair clips are generally used for holding hair in particular positions or securing portions of a person's head of hair.
- a popular type of hair clip is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,082,773.
- the hair clip shown in the '773 patent includes a snapping member and a pin member arranged to provide locked (closed) and unlocked (open) positions. In the closed position, the snapping member and pin member are substantially adjacent to one another. In the open position, the snapping member and pin member are no longer adjacent one another but, instead, diverge from a common base. In use, with the snapping member in an open position, hair may be placed between the snapping member and the pin member. Once hair is placed between the snapping member and the pin member, the snapping member is brought toward the pin member until the snapping member snaps into a position adjacent to the pin member, thus locking the hair between the snapping member and the pin member.
- Hair clips as described in the '773 patent do not include any means for preventing damage to hair held between the snapping member and the pin member. Hair may be damaged when pinned between two members, which are typically made of metallic or similar hard materials. Such damage may be in the form of hair deformation, for example. That is, when hair is placed within a finite space between two members made of metallic or otherwise hard materials and subjected to a compressive force, the hair, not the members, will tend to deform. Furthermore, the snapping and pin members of prior art hair clips include surfaces with low coefficients of friction. As a result, these types of clips are prone to hair slipping out from between the clip's members when attaching or while in use.
- One type of hair clip that has been used extensively in recent years includes a bend in the pin member.
- the bend in the pin assists in preventing the clip from sliding off of the hair.
- the bend tends to further damage the hair when the clip is removed.
- a hair clip capable of firmly holding hair between a snapping member and a pin member while preventing damage thereto makes wearing hair clips more enjoyable and less problematic.
- a one-piece hair clip having a concavo-convex snapping member and a pin member.
- the hair clip is adapted to firmly hold hair while preventing damage thereto.
- the snapping member may be placed in an open position for insertion of hair and the like between the pin member and the snapping member.
- the snapping member may also be placed in a closed position for firmly and securely holding hair between the snapping and pin members while preventing damage thereto.

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to improvements in hair clips and more particularly to an improved hair clip for firmly holding hair while preventing damage and facilitating securing of hair.
- Hair clips are generally used for holding hair in particular positions or securing portions of a person's head of hair. A popular type of hair clip is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,082,773. The hair clip shown in the '773 patent includes a snapping member and a pin member arranged to provide locked (closed) and unlocked (open) positions. In the closed position, the snapping member and pin member are substantially adjacent to one another. In the open position, the snapping member and pin member are no longer adjacent one another but, instead, diverge from a common base. In use, with the snapping member in an open position, hair may be placed between the snapping member and the pin member. Once hair is placed between the snapping member and the pin member, the snapping member is brought toward the pin member until the snapping member snaps into a position adjacent to the pin member, thus locking the hair between the snapping member and the pin member.
- Hair clips as described in the '773 patent do not include any means for preventing damage to hair held between the snapping member and the pin member. Hair may be damaged when pinned between two members, which are typically made of metallic or similar hard materials. Such damage may be in the form of hair deformation, for example. That is, when hair is placed within a finite space between two members made of metallic or otherwise hard materials and subjected to a compressive force, the hair, not the members, will tend to deform. Furthermore, the snapping and pin members of prior art hair clips include surfaces with low coefficients of friction. As a result, these types of clips are prone to hair slipping out from between the clip's members when attaching or while in use.
- One type of hair clip that has been used extensively in recent years includes a bend in the pin member. The bend in the pin assists in preventing the clip from sliding off of the hair. However, the bend tends to further damage the hair when the clip is removed.
- A hair clip capable of firmly holding hair between a snapping member and a pin member while preventing damage thereto makes wearing hair clips more enjoyable and less problematic.
- In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a one-piece hair clip having a concavo-convex snapping member and a pin member. The hair clip is adapted to firmly hold hair while preventing damage thereto. The snapping member may be placed in an open position for insertion of hair and the like between the pin member and the snapping member. The snapping member may also be placed in a closed position for firmly and securely holding hair between the snapping and pin members while preventing damage thereto.
- For the purpose of illustrating the invention, there is shown in the drawings a form which is presently preferred; it being understood, however, that this invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and methodologies shown.

- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a hair clip in a closed position in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is a plan view of the top of a hair clip in an open position in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a plan view of the top of a hair clip in a closed position in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is a plan view of the bottom of a hair clip in an open position in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 6 is a plan view of the bottom of a hair clip in a closed position in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 7 is a side elevation view of a hair clip in an open position in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 8 is a side elevation view of a hair clip in a closed position in accordance with the present invention.
- Referring now to the Figures, wherein like numerals correspond to like elements throughout the several views, the hair clip, indicated generally with
reference numeral 10, comprises a concavo-convexouter snapping member 12 and aninner pin member 14 each being attached at an end portion orbase 16. Preferably the attachment is an integral attachment, although other forms of attachment can be used. Thesnapping member 12 is generally V shaped havinglegs end portion 16 and extend forward away from theend portion 16 until they join together at thetip 22. Thelegs - The
clip 10 has a simple positive snapping action between opened and closed positions which makes theclip 10 easy to manipulate. Theouter snapping member 12 is adapted so that a snapping action occurs when thesnapping member 12 is moved from one concavo-convex or closed position to an opposite concavo-convex or open position. Thelegs snapping member 12 may be fabricated using a sheet metal or other suitable material in a concavo-convex shape and having a snapping action between the two opposite concavo-convex open and closed positions. In one embodiment, thelegs snapping member 12 include a center opening at the end of the legs opposite theend portion 16 so that thelegs tip 22. The ends of eachleg end portion 16 may be formed in various configurations with or without a fastening device. - The
pin member 14 is preferably a substantially straight or planar piece of metal that is attached to theend portion 16 such that it is centered between thelegs snapping member 12 and extends in generally parallel relation thereto away from theend portion 16 toward the tip when thesnapping member 12 is in the closed position. In the open position, thesnapping member 12 and thepin member 14 diverge from one another as shown in the figures such that there is a space formed between thesnapping member 12 and thepin member 14 into which hair and the like may be inserted. When the snappingmember 12 is snapped into the closed position, the snappingmember 12 moves toward thepin member 14 and presses hair located within the space against thepin member 14. Hair within the space is subjected to a compressive force and held firmly in place. - Referring, in particular, to FIG. 1, there is shown a
hair clip 10 in an open position. In the open position, the snappingmember 12 is bent upwardly and away from thepin member 14. Thepin member 14 is positioned with respect to the snappingmember 12 so that there is a space between them. The distal end of thepin member 14 is curved away from the snappingmember 12 so as to increase the size of the space between the two members. To position thehair clip 10 in an open position, the snappingmember 12 is snapped away from thepin member 14. - Once hair has been inserted into the
hair clip 10, theclip 10 may be closed as shown in FIG. 2. To move thehair clip 10 into the closed position, the snappingmember 12 is bent toward thepin member 14 as explained above until it snaps in place. In the closed position thepin member 14 and snappingmember 12 are adjacent each other so as to hold hair between them. The curvature of the two members is preferably substantially similar. - The
pin member 14 includes means for enhancing the hair clip's 10 ability to gently hold hair firmly in place. As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the means for doing so, in one embodiment of the invention, comprises arubber layer 15 disposed on at least a portion of thepin member 14. Therubber layer 15 can be formed from as a coating on the pin member, can be separated adhered to thepin member 14, or Alternate embodiments may include a coating located on either the pin member or the snapping member. While rubber is the preferred material for use with this invention, other materials can be that are softer than the underlying pin material and/or provide increased friction between thepin member 14 and thesnapping member 12. - The
rubber layer 15 acts to enhance the clip's ability to firmly hold hair by increasing the amount of frictional force between thepin member 14 and the hair. Thepin member 14, like other elements of thehair clip 10 may be manufactured using sheet metal, spring steel or other suitable material. Typically, those materials include a smooth aesthetically pleasing outer surface. Such surfaces, in and of themselves, provide little resistance to hair slipping out from between the snappingmember 12 andpin member 14. By increasing the amount of friction between the hair and thepin member 14, the clip's ability to firmly hold hair is enhanced. That is, by increasing the amount of friction between the hair and thepin member 14, the compressive force exerted on the hair is supplemented with a frictional force to counteract slippage. The friction may be increased by any other means known to those skilled in the art and is not limited to a rubber layer described above. For example, thepin member 14 or snappingmember 12 may be finished with an outer surface having a higher coefficient of friction. - A sleeve made from rubber, natural or synthetic, or similar soft flexible material is preferred. A rubber layer, in addition to increasing the amount of friction also provides a barrier between hair and the clip's members. Such an arrangement is easier on the hair in that at least a portion of the compressive force and deformation caused thereby is exerted on the sleeve and not the hair.
- Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4, the top of the
hair clip 10 is shown in open and closed positions, respectively. The top of thehair clip 10 will be opposite a user's head when theclip 10 is employed by a user to hold a lock of hair. When the clip is in an open position, as shown in FIG. 3, the top surface of the snappingmember 12 is concave while the top surface of thepin member 14 is convex. When theclip 10 is in a closed position, as shown in FIG. 4, the top surface of both the snappingmember 12 andpin member 14 is convex. In FIG. 4, as in FIG. 6, the top surface of thepin member 14 is adjacent to the bottom surface of the snappingmember 12. - Referring now to FIGS. 5 and 6, the bottom of the
hair clip 10 is shown in open and closed positions, respectively. The bottom of thehair clip 10 will face the user's head when theclip 10 is employed by a user to hold a lock of hair. When theclip 10 is in an open position, as shown in FIG. 5, the bottom surface of the snappingmember 12 is convex while the bottom surface of thepin member 14 is concave. When theclip 10 is in a closed position, as shown in FIG. 6, the bottom surface of both thepin member 14 and snappingmember 12 is concave. - As can be seen from FIGS. 3 through 6, the
pin member 14 is preferably long enough so that it will not fit between thelegs member 12. The rubber layer 15 (frictional layer) is shown located at a particular point along the extent of thepin member 14, however, thefrictional layer 15 may be positioned as desired. Likewise, thefrictional layer 15 is shown having a particular length but any suitable length is well within the scope of the present invention. - Referring now to FIGS. 7 and 8, a side elevation view of the
hair clip 10 is shown. As explained above, the snappingmember 12 may be positioned in opened and closed positions. In FIG. 7, theclip 10 is again shown in an open position. That is, the snappingmember 12 is snapped into an open position by bending and snapping it away from thepin member 14. To close thehair clip 10, the snapping member is snapped toward thepin member 14 so that the twomembers clip 10 is shown in a closed position. - Although embodiments of the invention have been described in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto, and that various changes can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, which is defined by the attached claims.
