Definitions

  • This hair-slide of the type comprising a bridge possibly provided with decorative means on its outer face, a snap-fastener and a spring strip disposed between the bridge and snap fastener, is provided at the end of said bridge which is opposite to the bridge end pivoted to said snap-fastener with fixed hooking means adapted to be resiliently engaged by the free end of said snapfastener in the closed position thereof, a resiliently movable locking member normally "retained in its locking position and adapted to engage the aforesaid end of said fastener in the zone of said hook means, so as to lock said snap-fastener in its closed position.
  • the present invention relates to hair-slides of the end of the fastener.
  • the snap-fastener consists of a wire of resilient material such as metal, bent to a hairpin configuration at its fulcrum end pivoted to said bridge, the free ends of the branches of said wire, which correspond to the free end of the hair-slide, being capped by an end piece permetting a slight transverse movement of said ends towards each other, and vice versa, said hooking means, consisting of a pair of fixed hooks facing each other, the relative spacing of their beaks being slightly inferior to the maximum width of the snap-fastener, said locking member consisting of a bracing member of a width corresponding substantially to the maximum width of the gap existing between the two branches of the hairpin-shaped snap-fastener said locking member being carried by spring means normally maintaining said hairpin at the level of said hooks and adapted to be moved against the resilient force of said spring means towards said bridge to permit the engagement of said hooks by said fastener and their release therefrom.
  • said hooking means consisting of a pair of fixed hooks facing each other, the relative spacing of
  • the snap-fastener is so shaped that it cannot be brought to its closed position unless a slight elastic deformation thereof is produced by depressing same in the direction tending to open the fastener, and on the other hand the beaks of said hooks are so shaped that when the locking member is in its retracted position said beaks cannot retain the fastener against the elastic force tending to open same.
  • the locking member is carried by the relevant end of the hair-slide spring strip provided at this end with an extension constituting the means for actuating said locking member.
  • the hooks are cut ina lug consisting of the relevant end of said bridge which is bent inwardly on itself, an aperture being formed at the base of said lug to permit the passage and movement therein of said spring strip extension supporting said locking member.
  • the elastic force acting upon the snap-fastener in its closed position for opening same is provided by a portion thereof bent substantially at right angles and located near its pivoted end; this bent portion is adapted to pivot in an opening formed in the bearing element in which said snap-fastener is fulcrumed, and to abute against the support of said bearing when the snap-fastener is moved to its closed position and before this position is attained.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view from above showing the device in its closed position
  • FIG. 2 is a section taken along the line II-II of F IG.
  • FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2 but showing the device in its open condition:
  • FIG. 4 is a cross section taken along the line lV-IV of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 5 is another cross section taken along the line V-V of F IG. 2, and
  • FIG. 6 is a cross section similar to FIG. 5 but showing the locking member in its retracted position.
  • the hair-slide illustrated is of the type comprising a bridge 2, a snap-fastener 3 and, a spring strip 4.
  • the bridge 2 consists essentially of a curved plate carrying at one end a bearing 5 for pivoting the snap-fastener 3 and at the opposite end means 6 for hooking the free end of snap-fastener and retain the latter in its closed position.
  • the bridge 2 comprises at either end lugs 7 and 8 respectively, for securing a decorative or like plate or element not shown in the drawing.
  • the snap-fastener 3 consists of a round-sectionned metal wire bent to a hair pin configuration at the end thereof which is to be pivotally mounted in bearing 5, the free ends of this snap-fastener being capped by an end piece 9 similar to the cap carried by safety pins and permitting a slight transverse movement of the two branches of fastener 3 towards and away from each other.
  • the central portion of bearing 5 comprises an aperture 5a and in alignment with this aperture 5a the round-sectioned wire constituting the fastener 3 comprises a substantially semicircular loop 11 bent substantially at right angles and IM 02 R4 adapted to engage the lug 12 of bridge 2 which supports the bearing 5 when the fastener 3 is pivoted in the direction of the arrow (FIG. 2) and before this fastener has attained its closed position. Consequently, the mere fact of pressing the fastener 3 towards its closed position will generate a return force tending to open same, as a result of its elastic deformation.
  • the hooking means 6 for retaining the free end of snap-fastener 3 in its closed position consist of a pair of fixed hooks 13 associated with a locking member l4.
  • hooks are cut in a lug bent at right angles in the end portion of bridge 2; their beaks 13a registering with each other are spaded by a distance slightly inferior to the maximum width of the two branches of fastener 3, whereby to assume their hooking position as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 5. These two branches of fastener 3 must be moved towards each other.
  • the bottoms of the notches of said hooks 13 are adapted to receive the branches of fastener 3 in their maximum spread of divergent position, as clearly shown in FIG. 5.
  • the locking member 14 consists of a distance-piece of a width corresponding substantially to the maximum distance between the branches of fastener 3. This locking member is carried bythe relevant end of spring strip 4 extending through the lug 15 by engaging an opening 150 provided to permit its passage and transverse movements.
  • the spring strip 4 constantly urges the locking member 14 to its locking position as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 5, that is, level with beaks 13a of hooks 13.
  • the snapfastener 3 can be engaged between the hooks 13 due to the possibility of moving its two branches towards each other in a transverse direction.
  • the return of these branches to their maximum relative spacing must compulsorily be obtained in order to keep the fastener 3 in its closed position, since the two branches of fastener 3 must be brought to their position of engagement with the bottoms of the notches formed in beaks 13a of hooks 13.
  • This requirement is met by the provision of the aforesaid locking member 14 of which the free end, to which a rounded configuration was given on purpose, causes the branches of fastener 3 to be divaricated as a consequence of the engagement of said locking member therebetween.
  • the spring 4 comprises at its end supporting this locking member an extension 4a constituting the control element of said locking member 14.
  • said locking member 14 is prevented by the presence of a pair of notches 14b pressed in the bridge 2 and registering with the zones of said bridge that are engaged by said branches.
  • the spring 4 is anchored to the inner surface of bridge 2 at its end op posite to said extension 4a by means of a pair of lugs 17 formed by punching or cutting in said bridge 2.
  • Hair-slide of the type comprising a bridge, a snapfastener and a spring disposed between said bridge and said snap-fastener, wherein the bridge end opposite to that pivoted to said fastener carries fixed hooking members adapted to be resiliently engaged by the free end of said fastener in the closed position thereof, a locking member resiliently movable and normally retained in its locking position being provided for engaging said end of said snap-fastener in thezone of said hooking members and thus lock the snap-fastener in its closed position.
  • said snap-fastener consists of a wire of resilient material such as metal, bent to a hairpin configuration at its end pivoted to said bridge and having the free ends of the branches corresponding to the free end of said snapfastener capped with an end piece permitting a slight transverse movement thereof towards and away from each other
  • said hooking members consist of a pair of fixed hooks registering with each other with a relative spacing of their beaks which is slightly inferiorto the maximum width of said snap-fastener
  • said-locking member consisting of a distance piece having a width substantially equal to the maximum relative spacing obtaining between the two branches of the snap-fastener forming hairpin, said locking member being carried by spring means normally holding this member at the level of said hooks and against which said locking member can be moved towards said bridge to permit the engagement and release of said snap fastener in relation to said hooks.
