Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hair clip.
  • pliers comprising on the one hand two jaws each with a gripping part, articulated one with respect to each other around an axis between a closed position and an open position of the clamp, and returned to the closed position by a helical spring threaded on said axis, and on the other hand a masking piece of said spring, disposed between the two gripping parts so as to cover the part of said threaded spring on said axis.
  • the gripping parts are spaced from each other so that that the articulation mechanism of said jaws, namely the axis and especially the return spring threaded on said axis, is visible, which is unsightly.
  • the present invention provides then a new hair clip in which the arrangement of the piece of masking is relatively simple, space-saving, and makes it possible to make totally invisible the return spring so the external appearance of this clamp is improved.
  • said masking piece has two parts juxtaposed in the direction of said axis, each of said parts of the part masking being integral with the gripping portion of a jaw and having an inner surface facing the coil spring, each strand end of said spring bears against each corresponding part of said masking piece so that the deflection location of said strands end of said spring, when opening and closing of said clamp, is located under said masking piece.
  • the mounting of the return spring on said clamp is inverted compared to conventional mounting, and said spring, including its strands end, is completely concealed under the masking piece so that it is invisible from the outside.
  • a hair clip 100 which includes two jaws 110, 120 articulated relative to each other around an axis 150 between a closed position (see Figure 3) and an open position (see figure 5) of the pliers.
  • Each of the jaws 110, 120 has a gripping part 111, 121 and a jaw 112, 122 for hanging the clip on the hair.
  • the jaw 122, 112 of each jaw 111, 121 is here constituted by a set teeth shaped like petals, but could take a completely different shape depending on other embodiments not shown.
  • gripping parts 111, 121 of the jaws 110, 120 here have a simplified shape with a substantially profile rectangular, but according to other embodiments, provision could be made for more aesthetic forms representing for example objects, flowers or animals, etc.
  • Each jaw 110, 120 is produced here in one piece by molding of a plastic material such as polypropylene, acetate cellulose, polyamide, etc.
  • This return spring 140 is a helical spring threaded on the axis 150.
  • the hair clip 100 includes a part for masking said hair.
  • spring 140 arranged between the gripping parts 111, 121 of the jaws 110, 120, so as to cover the spring threaded on the axis 150.
  • said piece of masking comprises two parts 130 ′, 130 juxtaposed in the direction of the axis 150, each of said parts 130 ′, 130 of the masking piece being integral with the gripping part 111, 121 of a jaw 110, 120.
  • Each of said parts 130 of the masking piece has preferably a substantially curved profile (see more particularly the Figures 6 and 7) enveloping the spring and the hinge pin, and comprises advantageously an inner surface 131, 132, facing the spring 140, on which bears an end strand 141 of said spring 140 so that the travel of the end strands 141, 142 of said spring 140, when opening (see Figures 5 and 7) and the closure (see Figures 3 and 6) of said clamp, takes place in an interior space below said masking piece.
  • the spring 140 including its end strands 141, 142, is then completely hidden under the masking piece and invisible from the outside.
  • each end strand 141, 142 of the spring 140 is blocked against a drop 132 from the interior surface 131 of each part 130 of the masking piece.
  • each part of the masking piece 130 ′, 130 comes from formation by molding with a jaw 110, 120.
  • each part of the masking piece is attached to a jaw, by a any system such as by gluing, for example.
  • the masking piece is arranged so that when said clamp is opened, each part 130 of said masking piece integral with a jaw 120 disappears under the other jaw 110.
  • the internal shape of each jaw, and more particularly of the junction between the grip part and the jaw of each jaw is then arranged to allow the positioning of each part of the workpiece masking opposite an internal face of each jaw when opening of said clamp, as shown more particularly in FIG. 5.
  • each part 130 of the masking piece integral with a jaw 120 has on one edge a flat 135 positioned against a complementary flat surface 115 of the jaw 110 located opposite, this complementary flat surface being situated at the junction of the grip part and the jaw of said jaw corresponding (see more particularly Figure 4).
  • each jaw 110, 120 has two ears 113, 133 ′, 123, 133 pierced with an orifice for the passage of the axis 150, and placed on the same side of the spring 140 so that the latter is positioned between the two pairs of ears of said jaws.
  • the ear 133 ′, 133 located furthest the exterior with respect to the spring 140 forms an integral part of the part 130 ′, 130 of the masking piece associated with said jaw 110, 120, and is formed by a lateral return thereof.
  • the ears 113, 133 ′, 123, 133 of the jaws 110, 120 are entirely concealed by the masking piece.
  • the set of ears, part of the masking piece, the gripping part and the jaw of a jaw form a single piece produced by molding a plastic material.
  • the masking piece is arranged so that when opening of the clamp, each part 130 of the masking piece integral with a jaw 120, is positioned against, or facing, the external surface 112 'of the other jaw 110.
  • each longitudinal slot 117 it is provided in the jaw 112 of each jaw 110, a transverse slot 118 for the passage the end strand 141 of the spring 140 bearing against the interior surface 131, 132 of part 130 of the associated masking piece, when the opening of the pliers.
  • each jaw 110, 120 includes independently of the masking piece, two ears 113, 123 for the passage of said axis, placed on either side of said axis spring, as is conventionally provided.
  • the two ears of a jaw are positioned on the same side of the spring as this is provided according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 5.
  • the ears, the part of the masking piece associated with said jaw, the gripping part and the jaw of each jaw form a single piece made by molding a plastic material.
  • the hair clip can be assembled manually or by any suitable automatic mounting device.
