Application August 16, 1947, Serial No. 768,957
inventicn relates generally to hair orna meritsand more particularly to means for com-- bining a hair ornament, such as barrette, comb, pin or the like with an ornamental accessory, such as an. earring or the like. Barrettes'an'cl earrings are worn in the daytime during business hours to decorate the erson of the wearer; In" the evening and for formal affairs, extra effort is usually made to become more attractive especially as regards the hair.
It is a prime object of the present invention to provide means whereby the ornaments usually worn in the daytime, such as barrettes, combs, earrings and the like may be combined to provide a hair ornament which ismore attractive than the separate elements standing alone. In other words, to provide a hair ornament, such as a barrette for the hair, with means for supporting an accessory such as an earring, in order to change the appearance of such barrette and thus change the appearance of the wearer mak ing her look more attractive. I
Another object is to provide a hair ornament such as a barrette, comb, pin or the like which serves its original intended purpose of keeping the hair neat and orderly and attractive but in addition serves as a support for detachably mounting an ornamental accessory such as an earring or the like.
Other objects and advantages of my improved device will be apparent from the description thereof to follow taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in which- Fig. 1 is a top plan View of a hair ornament embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view thereof.
Fig. 3 is a disassembled top plan view thereof with the fastening member extended.
Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view of the barrette device with the earrings removed and the fastening member extended.
Fig. 5 is a side view of the device of Fig. 1 with the fastening member extended.
Fig. 6 is a side view of an earring used with the improved ornament showing the fastening member in open position.
Fig. '7 is a similar view showing the fastening member in closed position.
Referring to the drawing, for the purpose of illustrating one form of my invention, I have shown a hair barrette 5 formed of highly polished metal. The body of the barrette comprises three elliptical-shaped sections 6, I, 8 disposed in alignment and suitably secured together at their ends. On the bottom of section 6, adjacent its outer end, is an open ring bearing member 9'. Hingedly mounted in this bearing member is an elongated fastening member comprising twoarm portions it spaced from each other and connected atone end with a cross piece H which is received in the b'earingmember 9. The outer free ends 52 of the arms curve away from each other as seen in Figs. 3 and 4, and are formed of spring wire. A clasp l3 adjacent the outer end ohseetion 3- holds the arm members together and holds fastto said section 8.
The device thus far described serves as a bar rette for the to makeit attractive and to Keep it neat and orderly; 'When thus functioning as a barrette, the arms it of the fastening mem= ber are loosened-from theelasp rs andinserted through and underneath the hair and are then made fast to said clasp whereby the barrette is secured onto the hair.
The present invention however contemplates fastening a pair of earrings or car ornaments M to the barrette. For this purpose, a flat metal :bar [5 is mounted below the body of the barrette and soldered or otherwise suitably fastened to the central section l' of the barrette body, leaving the rest of the bar together with its ends free of the body of the barrette as seen in Fig. 5. Each earring M has an elliptical-shaped body portion of polished metal similar to the sections of the body of the barrette. A clip is secured to the bottom of each body portion l4 and comprises an L-shaped member I5 having a bowlshaped enlargement It at one end thereofsecured to the bottom of the body it. The other end of the L-shaped member i5 is formed with spaced perforated ear portion I? for supporting a hinge pin it. I-Iingedly mounted on the pin I8 is a metal arm 19 which turns back on itself to form an outer curved end 2%. This hinged arm I Q is adapt-ed to'clamp the lobe of the ear between said arm and the enlargement l6 thereby fastening the earring on the ear of the wearer.
When it is desired to change the appearance of the barrette 5, the earrings M are mounted on it. This is accomplished by first opening the clamping bar is of the earring and then sliding the earring with the clamping bar l9 underneath the bar I5. The earring and clamping bar are slid longitudinally along the bar from its free end until the body of the earring reaches the juncture between the end section of the barrette body and the central section 3 thereof as shown in Figs. 1 and 5. When at this point, the clamping bar it is closed so that its encircles the bar l5 and the junction between the respective sections of the barrette body. The earring body I4 will then be disposed transversely to the barrette body and will be positioned as shown in Fig. 1 extending at both sides of the barrette body. It is detachably held in this position by the clamping bar [9. When both earrings are in position between the junctures of the central section 1 and the end sections 6 and 8, the appearance of the barrette 5 will be substantially changed and made more attractive. To remove the earring, it is only necessary to open the clamping bar [9 and slide the body and clip of the earring outwardly along the bar l5 and off its free end.
Changes in details might be resorted to without departing from the principle of the invention.
What I claim is:
1. A hair barrette having an elongated body portion formed of three elliptical sections disposed and connected in alignment, a pin hinged to the bottom of the body portion atone end thereof for fastening the body portion to the hair and a flat bar underneath said body portion fastened midway its ends to one of said sections and having its ends free for detachably receiving and supporting a pair of earrings crosswise of the body portion, at the junctions of said elliptical sections.
2. A hair barrette having an elongated metal body portion formed of three elliptical-shaped sections disposed in alignment, a pin hinged to the bottom of the body portion at one end thereof for fastening the body portion to the hair, a looped clasp member at the other end of the body portion for holding said pin in closed position, and a flat bar member below the body secured midway its ends to the center section, the remainder of the bar being free with its free ends extending below the section of the body portion on each side of the center section for detachably receiving and supporting a pair of earrings cross-wise on top of the body portion, at the junctions of the sections at both sides of said center section.
low the section of the body portion on each side of the center section, and an earring having an elliptical shaped body portion and an openable and closing clip supported on said bar cross-wise of the body portion of the barrette at each junction between the center section of the body portion of the barrette and the section at each side thereof.
