Description
A. KLAR HAIR CLIP Jan. 2, 1951 Filed March 7, 1946 Patented Jan. 2, 1951 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention relates to hair clips or hair pins and the like and has for one of its objects the provision of such a device which will positively stay in place and which may be used wherever it is desired to keep hair in neat arrangement.
Another object of the device is to provide such a hair pin or clip with interlocking projections at intervals along the length thereof in order to keep the hair neatly arranged and to prevent the hair pin or clip from becoming loose and falling out of place.
A further object of the invention is to provide positive locking means on said hair pin or clip to keep same in place.
Another object is to produce a device of the character described in which the maximum simplicity of construction and operation is secured.
Other objects and advantages will appear as the nature of the improvements is better understood, the invention consisting substantially in the novel arrangement and co-relation of parts herein fully described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein similar reference characters are used to denote corresponding parts throughout the several views, and then finally pointed out and specifically defined in the appended claims.
The disclosure made the basis of exemplifying the present inventive concept suggests a practical embodiment thereof, but the invention is not to be restricted to the exact details of this disclosure, and the latter therefore is to be understood from an illustrative, rather than a restricted standpoint.
In carrying out a preferred form of the invention it was found advantageous to form the hair pin or clip out of a strip of spring material bent over to form a normally closed clip of suitable length and provided with spaced apart projections on at least one blade thereof, adapted, when the clip is in normally closed position to bear against or abut the inner surface of the other clip blade in order to sub-divide the clip into separate hair retain ng areas, the said abutments further providing anti-loosening means.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a hair clip made in accordance with one form of the present invention, the said clip being shown in open position;
Figure 2 is a perspective view thereof in closed position.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a modified form of the invention;
Gil
Figure 4 is a perspective view showing a modified form of the invention wherein the clip is provided with means for opening the clip;
Figure 5 is a perspective view showing a modified form of the opening lever and interlocking projections;
Figure 6 is a detail view of the opening lever shown in Figure 5;
Figures 7 and 8 are similar views to Figures 1 and 2 of a still further modified form of the invention.
Referring now to Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings, the number l5 indicates an improved hair clip made of spring metal and comprising a lower blade I5 and an upper plate ll joined at one end by a spring loop portion [8. The lower blade is bent at interva s to form upstanding substantially V-shaped project ons or ridges l9 extending the entire width of the said blade. The upper plate I! is similarly provided with ridges 2D. The ridges l9 and 2c are so arranged that when the clip is in normal closed position, the right sides of the ridges I9 will contact the left sides of the ridges 20 or vice versa, thus forming hair passageways 2! which are closed at their sides thus preventing the clip from slipping or falling off and also maintaining the hairs in desired position as they can not work their way from one compartment or passageway 2i to another.
In Figure 3 there is shown a clip I 5a which has a flat base or blade 22 provided with either depressions or spaced apart holes 23. The base 22 is looped over at 24 from which point the material tapers into rounded wire-like formation. The wire-like formation is bent into loops 25, the juncture of the loops forming rounded prongs 2'3 which normally, when the clip !5a is in closed position, fit into the holes 23 and form positive looking or anti-disengaging means.
The Figure 4 modification comprises a clip Hib comprising a pair of oppositely disposed parallel blades 2'? and respectively joined at one end. by a loop 29 in which is located the prying end he of a lever 3i having a handle or finger piece 32 on the end opposite the pryin end. The said finger piece may have an ornamental gem or simulated set therein. The clip may be provided at the open end of the loop 29 with oppositely disposed V shaped ridges 3,4 and 35 which co-act in the same manner as the ridges. i9 and El and form a stop for the prying end 3%! of the lever 3!. If desirable the ridges 3i! and 355 may be spaced along the entire or any part of the length of the blades 2? and 23 as in the Figures 1 and 2 form of the invention. Likewise the blades 27 and 28 may be of any desired configuration. By moving the lever from the horizontal position shown to a vertical position the blades 21 and 28 will be pried open so that same may be inserted or Withdrawn from the hair.
In Figures and 6 there is shown a slightly modified form of the invention from that shown in Figure 4. In this form of the invention, the blades 35 and 3? are joined by a loop 38 provided at its upperportio'n with a s1ot39 in which operates a prying lever 48 which acts similar to the lever 3|. As shown the lower blade 35 has a series of pairs of spaced apart upwardly extending projections 4| and for interlocking en gagement with corresponding downwardly extending projections 42 and 43 on the upper blade 31, the arrangement of the respective projections 4| and 42 being such that one pair of projections 42 will engage a corresponding pair of projections 4| to one side thereof, while the projections 43 will fit-in between a pair of projections 41.-
I-n Figures 7 and 8 there is shown a rriodifi cation or the Figures 1 and 2 form wherein in stead of the ridges 19 and 28 the blades 44 and 4e are shown havingprojections 46 and 44 re spectively which co-operate with each other as the said ridges or as the projections 4i and 42.
From the foregoing description it is evident that the present improvements" provide a highly eflioient hair clip, that will stay in place on the hair and at all times maintain same in .prearranged-position, either when worn as a hair' pin or used as means for holding the hair in desired place While dressing same.
What is claimed is:
A hair clip comprising an upper blade and a lower blade, a loop joining the said blades at one end tending to force the said blades towards each other, one of the said blades having spaced apart apertures, the other of said blades having a rounded wire-like formation and being formed in a series of longitudinally contiguous arcs, and projections respectivelyformed at the juncture of each of the said arcs one with the other T61 normally engaging said apertures.
