Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hair-slide including a base, a flexible clasp hinged to the base at one end thereof, and a blade spring hinged to the blade at the other end thereof and adapted to lock the clasp in its closed position and to unlock it when it is pushed upon at its free end near its hinging means.
  • spring which will be termed spring" hereinafter.
  • the spring must be slid by hand underneath other parts, involving a nonnegligible amount'of time in mass production.
  • the spring is hinged on the base, thus enabling .it to be fitted much more quickly.
  • the parts making up the hair-slide can have unusually simple shapes.
  • FIG. 1 shows a flat element which following bending and curving forms the base of a hair-slide
  • FIG. 2 shows a flat element which subsequent to curving forms the clasp of the hair-slide
  • FIG. 3 shows a flat element which following bending and curving fonns the spring of the hair-slide
  • FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 are diametrical longitudinal sectional views of the hair-slide in its open position, in its closed position when it does not grip the hair, and in its closed position when it grips the hair, respectively.
  • the three flat elements in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 are cut from a sheet of metal, for examplea sheet of carbon steel, and the parts obtained after they have been deformed as defined above are hardened prior to assembly. These parts will be designated hereinafter by the same reference numerals as the corresponding flat starting elements.
  • the flat element 10 shown in FIG. 1 includes a rectangular strip 11, two tabs 12 perpendicular to strip 11 adjacent one end thereof, each being 7 formed with a hole 13 therein, and two other tabs 14 likewise perpendicular to strip 11 and positioned adjacent the other end thereof and each formed with a hole 15 therein.
  • the tabs 12 and the tabs 14 are subsequently bent at right angles to strip 11 in order to respectively form the bearings for first-and second hinge-pins. 3 l
  • the element 16 shown'in FIG. 2 is generally strip-shaped with stubs 19 adjacent one of its two ends, is rounded at its other end 20, and is formed with a long opening 18 formed along the greater part of its length and the ends of which are designated 18a and 18b.
  • the two stubs 19 are intended to engage into the holes 15 of bent tabs 14 and to thereby form a hinge-pin for clasp 16 in relation to base 10.
  • the element 21 shown in FIG. 3 comprises a long stripshaped central portion 22 terminating at one end 220 in a wider portion 23 and at its other end 22b in a wider portion 24.
  • This wider portion 24 is formed laterally with two stubs 25 intended to engage into the holes 13 of bent tabs 12 and to thereby form the hinge-pin for spring 21.
  • Widened portion 24 is formed with an opening 26 therein bounded adjacent the end of the element by a transverse edge 27 and having two inwardly jutting transverse protrusions 29 which, alternatively, may meet to form a single transverse portion.
  • the widened portion 24 includes a first part 30 of transverse width not exceeding the width of strip 11 and, at the end of the element, a second part 31 wider than strip 11.
  • the portion of element 21 enclosing the second opening 28 is shaped as a two-pronged fork having its handle formed by the central part 22 of the element, and the transverse linear section of the two straight parallel parts of the two fork prongs 34 is greater than the transverse linear'section of the central part 22 of element 21.
  • the hair-slide is made as follows:
  • the strip 11 is curved slightly to give it the shape shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6.
  • the element 16 is curved slightly to make it substantially parallel to strip 11, as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the flat element 21 is deformed into the shape shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the central portion 22 of spring 21 is arched above strip 11 of base 10, while the widened portion 24 of spring 21 includes the hinge-pin 25 of spring 21 and is curved in the opposite direction to central portion 22, and the portion 23 of the spring adjacent the freev end thereof is located between strip 11 of base 10 and the hinge stubs 19 of clasp 16.
  • the first portion 30, from which project the stubs 25 forming the hinge-pin of spring 21, is capable of pivotal motion between the lateral bearings of said hinge-pin, formed by the bent tabs 12, and that pivotal motion of the second part 31, which is wider than part 30, in an anticlockwise direction (when viewing FIGS. 4 to 6), i.e. in the direction tending to move the central portion 22 of spring 21 nearer to strip 11, is arrested by the bent tabs 12.
  • the clasp 16 is first applied on the edge 24, then pressed. This increases its curvature, thus reducing the linear distance between its ends; further, under the effect of the pressure exerted on edge 27, the portion 31 rotates slightly, causing the end 20 of clasp 16 to pass beneath the edge 27, as shown in FIG. 5.
  • clasp 16 may bear at 18b against spring 21, thus subjecting the latter to a rotating moment about its hinge-pin 25 and consequently causing its free end to bear against strip 11 at 23.
  • Clasp 16 may alternatively not bear against spring 21, in which case its rotation will be arrested by the protrusions 29.
  • FIG. 6 the hair (not shown) gripped by the hair-slide is held between clasp l6 and spring 21.
  • its pressure has causes spring 21 to pivot about its hingepin 25, and the free rounded end 20 of clasp 16 has advances further beneath the edge 27 of part 31, thus increasing the clamping force of clasp 16.
  • the external part 31 of the widened portion 24 of spring 21 has been arrested by the bent tabs 12.
  • This widened portion 24 offers greater resistance to deformation than the central spring portion 22 because, as stated previously, its transverse linear section is greater than the transverse linear section of the central spring portion 22.
  • the central spring portion 22 cannot therefore move too far away from clasp 16, so that the hair remains securely clasped by the hair-slide.
  • a hair-slide which includes a base comprising a strip portion, a spring pivoting in relation to said base about a transverse hinge located adjacent one end of said base and which hasa central arched portion above said strip, a flexible clasp pivoting in relation to said base about a second transverse hinge located adjacent the other end of said base and which is formed with a long opening along its length into which penetrates said central spring portion when said clasp is in its closed position, the free end of said clasp, when it is in its closed position, being held in place, in the absence of a pressure exerted on the spring, by a portion of said spring.
  • a hair-slide according to claim 1 wherein said spring is formed adjacent its hinge with a widened portion formed with an opening therein located externally of this hinge, and wherein that portion of said spring which is located externally of said opening forms said spring portion which holds said clasp in its closed position.
  • a hair-slide according to claim 2 wherein said widened portion comprises the hinge of said spring and is curved oppositely to the central portion of said spring.
  • said widened portion includes a first part from which stems said spring hinge moving between the lateral bearings thereof, and externally of said first part, a second wider part of which the pivotal motion which moves said central spring portion towards said base is arrested by said lateral bearings.
  • a hair-slide according to claim 1 wherein said spring is formed adjacent its hinge with a widened portion formed with an opening therein located externally of this hinge, said widened portion being formed with two transverse protrusions projecting into said opening, and wherein that portion of said spring which is located externally of said opening forms said spring portion which holds said clasp in its closed position.
  • a hair-slide according to claim 1 wherein said spring is formed adjacent its hinge with a widened portion formed with an opening therein located externally of this hinge, and wherein that portion of said spring which is located externally of said opening is shaped as a two-pronged fork the handle portion of which is formed by said central spring portion.
