Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to hair clips and more particularly to hair clips having pivotable jaws for gripping hair.
  • butterfly clips One type of prior art clips which use pivotable jaws are generally known as butterfly clips. These clips comprise two jaw members having tines and being joined along a pivot axis. A spring arrangement is provided at the pivot axis to resiliently urge the tines of the jaws to a closed position to grip the hair. To enable the tines to be disengaged and the jaws opened, the jaws are provided with lever members extending therefrom at a position away from the tines. This gives the clip the classic 'butterfly' appearance and hence its common name. When the clips are worn the primary visible parts are the lever members or 'wings' and the joining pivot and spring mechanism. The problem is that although these clips are easy to use single handed, the spring and pivot mechanism is not very aesthetically appealing.
  • US6142159 Another type of clip which provides pivotable jaws is disclosed in US6142159 .
  • This clip comprises a barrette made of a single flat strip of resilient material. Ends of the flat strip form tines that join when in the closed position.
  • the clip can be opened by pulling the two ends apart. This operation requires the use of two hands and is thus more complex than that required for opening butterfly clips.
  • handle portions are provided and the strip flexes in a central region. While this enables single handed operation, it requires the central region to be flexible. This limits the decorative ability of the central region.
  • a combined grooming device and hair clip in which a body houses a grooming device such as a brush which can hingedly extend out from the body when used for grooming.
  • the body carries two hinged arms which enable the device to be used as a hair clip.
  • This device is however bulky as a hair clip and has low aesthetic appeal.
  • the present invention provides a hair clip comprising a part cylindrical body portion; part cylindrical jaw portions attached to said body portion; and a jaw opening arrangement to allow said jaw portions to be opened single handed; wherein said jaw portions have tines and are hingedly and resiliently connected to said body portion to urge said tines together to a closed position for gripping hair, said jaw portions are connected to said body portion at hinge positions defining laterally spaced hinge axes, and said jaw portions and said body portion define an outer hair clip surface which is substantially cylindrical when said jaw portions are in the closed position.
  • the present invention includes any body arrangement such as a single body part or multiple body parts acting to hold the effective pivot points of the jaw arrangements spaces laterally.
  • the jaw arrangements can comprise any arrangement of single or multiple jaw parts. Where multiple jaw parts are provided, the jaw parts can be pivotable connected together to form a multiply pivoted jaw arrangement. The pivots in such an arrangement will lie substantially parallel.
  • the jaw opening arrangement can comprise any suitable part or collection of parts to enable the jaw arrangements to be urged pivotably to an open position against the resilient force of the resilient connection between the jaw arrangements and the body arrangement.
  • the body arrangement has an outer face and the pivot mechanisms are arranged on said body arrangement away from the outer face. Thus the pivot mechanisms are hidden in the hair when worn.
  • the opening arrangement comprises handle portions extending from said jaw arrangements at positions away from the tines and acting as lever members to lever the jaw arrangements open about the pivots.
  • the opening arrangement comprises an engagement member arranged within the jaws arrangements and operable in a direction of the pivot axes to engage the jaw arrangements to urge them open.
  • the jaw engagement portion can have angled engagement surfaces for engagement with the jaw arrangements to urge them open.
  • the jaw engagement portion can be carried by the body arrangement.
  • the jaw engagement portion can be slidably attached to said body portion to allow said jaw engagement portion to slide relative to said body portion to engage said jaw portions.
  • resilient portions are arranged between the body arrangement and the jaw arrangement to provide the resilient connection between the body arrangement and the jaw arrangement.
  • the jaw portions can be mounted to the body arrangement via pivot pins, and the resilient portions can comprise spring members engaging the body arrangement and the jaw arrangements.
  • the jaw portions are formed from the same piece of material as said body portion and at pivot points the material is thinned in section to enable the jaw portions to pivot relative to the body portion, and a resilient member is provided to urge the jaw arrangements to the closed position.
  • the resilient portions comprise resilient material connecting the jaw arrangements and the body arrangement.
  • the body arrangement comprises a base portion to which the jaw arrangements are connected, and at least one decorative cover portion.
  • at least one said decorative cover portion can be removable in use to enable different cover portions to be connected to the base portion.
  • the body is formed of thin section edge regions defining a central aperture through the body between the pivot axes.
  • the hair of the wearer can be seen through the body thus reducing the visibility of the clip.
  • the jaw portions are arcuate in section to define a volume between the body arrangement and the jaw arrangements into which hair can be clasped in use.
  • each jaw arrangement comprises a plurality of hingedly and resiliently coupled jaw sections, each hinged coupling lying along an axis parallel to the laterally spaced axes.
  • the hair clip of this embodiment comprises a body 1 formed of a base 1a and a cover 1b which is coupled to the base 1a.
  • the decorative cover can either be detachable in use to enable the cover to be changed, or it can only be fixed.
  • the fixed cover enables the fixing of different covers to the same base 1a during the manufacturing process.
  • the base 1a has an elongate arcuate carrying surface for carrying the decorative cover 1b in an elongate arcuate shape. Below the carrying surface there are provided two arms 4a and 4b extending away from the base 1a at spaced positions to the sides of the base 1a.
  • the arms 4a and 4b have pivot holes 5a and 5b for receiving pivot pins 6a and 6b.
  • Two opposed elongate jaws 2 and 3 have a curved or roughly arcuate cross section.
  • a pivot arm 2a and 3a respectively extends inwardly from an upper edge of each jaw 2 and 3 and has a pivot hole for receiving the respective pivot pin 6a and 6b.
  • the pivot arms 2 and 3 have an upper lip 2b and 3b respectively which serves to limit the closed position of the jaws 2 and 3 by engaging with an inner surface of the base 1a.
  • Cover portions 2d and 2e, and 3d and 3e extend from the upper edges of the jaws 2 and 3 parallel to the pivot arms to bridge the gap between the jaws 2 and 3 and the base 1a when the jaws are in the closed position.
  • cover portions 2d, 2e, 3d and 3e respectively tines 2c and 3c respectively extend towards one another for gripping hair. In the closed position the tines 2c and 3c of the jaws 2 and 3 interlace.
  • the jaws 2 and 3 are also provided with handle portions or 'wings' 2f and 3f which extend along the body of the jaws 2 and 3 and extend therefrom at a position away from the tines 2c and 3c near the top edges of the jaws 2 and 3.
  • the handle portions 2f and 3f are arranged above the pivot point so that they can be held between the fingers of a hand and squeezed to urge the jaws 2 and 3 to the open position.
  • springs 7a and 7b having spring arms for engaging the arms 4a and 4b and the pivot arms 2a and 3a to urge them apart and thereby urge the jaws 2 and 3 to the closed position.
  • the jaws 2 and 3 are pivoted on laterally separated pivot positions either side of the body 1 so that the pivot mechanisms are hidden under the body 1.
  • the body 1 can be decorated to improve the aesthetic appearance of the hair clip.
