Definitions

  • a hair securing means such as a hair-clasp or barrette, or a hair-comb, which comprise a pivotal resilient locking lever, and a locking pin provided with a-panlike recess having two surfaces which are inclined at an angle to each other.
  • the locking lever cooperates with the locking pin by engaging the panlike recess.
  • the locking pin has a head in the shape of the surface of the circumference of a circular cylinder.
  • the 10ngitudina] axis of the latter is the apex line of the panlike recess
  • the surface of the latter extends at least to one half of the circular circumference.
  • the locking lever is provided with a rectangular opening, and the length of the opening corresponds to the width of the head and the width of the opening corresponds to the thickness of the head plus an amount less than the depth of the recess.
  • the present invention relates to a hair securing means, such as a hair clasp or barrette, or a hair-comb, comprising a pivotal, resilient locking lever and a locking pin or detent pro vided with a panlike recess having two surfaces which are inclined at an angle to each other, the locking lever cooperating with the locking pin by engaging the panlike recess.
  • Hair-clasps of this kind are known having a bearing for the locking lever, which may consist of an axle and bores in the locking lever or in a bearing pin.
  • Such bearings are very fragile and thus often cause early breakage. Furthermore, it is rather cumbersome to produce such a bearing on account of its small dimensions.
  • the present invention consists essentially in that the head of the locking pin has the shape of the surface of the circumference of a circular cylinder, the longitudinal axis of which is the apex line of the panlike recess, and which surface extends at least to one half of the circular circumference, and in that the locking lever is provided with a rectangular opening, the length of which corresponds to the width of the head, and the width of which corresponds to the thickness of wall of the head plus an amount less than the depth of the panlike recess.
  • a continuous groove is provided in the apex line of the panlike recess.
  • This groove is preferably cylindrically in shape and has a circular cross section which is concentric to the surface of the circumference of the circular cylinder of the head of the locking pin.
