2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 32 is a side view of a hair clip according to the prior art, which is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-11605. The hair clip 1 includes a pair of holding bodies 2 and 3, and one end portions 2 a and 3 a of the holding bodies 2 and 3 are pivotally supported via a support shaft 4. An operation knob 5 is provided at the tip ends of the one ends 2a and 3a. A spring 6 is wound around the support shaft 4 and urges the other ends 2b and 3b in a closing direction. That is, although the other ends 2b and 3b are in the closed state in the normal state, the other ends 2b and 3b are opened / closed by pressing the operation knob 5 in the closing direction.

Such a hair clip 1 is preferably used not only at home, but also as a hair stopper for going out having a fashionability. An example is shown in FIG. 33 (A), and the user clamps the hair clip 1 from one side on the hair bundle 7 and stops it.

[0004]

However, while the hair clip 1 is being attached, a part of the hair 7a of the hair bundle 7 is likely to protrude from the other end 2b, 3b side. In this way, the state of the hairstyle being damaged significantly impairs the aesthetics, and is a major problem from the viewpoint of fashionability, which is the main purpose of wearing a hair clip. Further, when it is used at home to prevent the hair from getting wet when bathing, there is a problem that the protruding hair gets wet.

Therefore, in recent years, as shown in FIG. 33 (B), a method has been adopted in which two hair clips 1 are used to sandwich and hold the hair bundle 7 from both directions. However, it is troublesome to stop the two hair clips 1 during a busy time before going out, and there is a problem that the appearance is not light. On the other hand, a hair tress generally called Valletta (actual fairness 4
34 (disclosed as a conventional example in No. 33762) is shown in FIG.
The hair stopper 11 is such that a mounting member 13 is attached to the back surface of the ornament 12, and a holding plate 14 is mounted on the mounting member 13. The mounting member 13 is composed of a mounting body 15 and a locking body 16, and the decorative body 12 is provided via fixing plates 17 and 18, respectively.

By using this hair stopper 11, it is possible to prevent the above-mentioned state where a part of the hair bundle 7 protrudes. However, the unique fashionability of the hair clip cannot be replaced by this type of hair stopper 11. Further, unlike the hair clip, since the force for pinching the hair bundle 7 does not work between the back surface of the ornament 12 and the pressing plate 14, it easily falls out when the hair bundle 7 to be pinched is relatively small. There is also.

Further, when the hair stopper 11 is fixed to the hair, first, the holding plate 14 and the ornamental body 12 are held in an open state by one hand which is the dominant hand, and at the same time, the hair bundle 7 is grasped by the other hand. Then, the pressing plate 14 is inserted into the hair bundle 7 from the dominant hand side and sandwiched, and in this state, both hands are swiftly changed and the locking body 16 is engaged with the other end of the pressing plate 14 by the other hand. Is the normal procedure. Therefore, at the time of holding both hands, there are difficulties such as the hair easily protruding from the hair bundle,
A certain level of skill is required to wear it.

An object of the present invention is to provide a hair clip in which the work of stopping the hair is easy and the stopped hairstyle does not collapse for a long time.

[0009]

A first technical means of the present invention for solving this technical problem is provided with a pair of sandwiching bodies for sandwiching hair, and the one end portions of the pair of sandwiching bodies are different from each other. The end sides are pivotally supported to open and close, and on one end side of the pair of holding bodies,
In a hair clip provided with a knob portion for expanding the other end side and provided with a spring for urging the other end sides in a direction of closing each other, on the other end side of the pair of holding bodies,
The point is that an engagement mechanism is provided that engages the other ends of the sandwiching bodies in a disengageable manner so as to hold the pair of sandwiching bodies in a closed state.

The second technical means is, before the other ends of the pair of holding bodies are releasably engaged with each other by the engaging mechanism, between the pair of holding bodies. The point is that a stopper mechanism is provided to stop the mutual approach.
A third technical means is that at least one of the pair of holding bodies is made of an elastic material.

[0011]

According to the present invention, the user operates the knob portion to open the other end side of the pair of holding bodies, inserts the holding body into the hair, and inserts a desired hair bundle between the holding bodies. Deploy. When the grip portion is released from the force for operating the knob portion in this state, the holding body returns to the direction in which the other end side is closed by the spring force, and holds the hair bundle. Then, the engaging mechanism provided on the other end side is engaged. The hair bundle between the sandwiching bodies is stably sandwiched between the sandwiching bodies by the engagement mechanism closing the other end side.

Further, since the operation of expanding the hair clip 121 to insert it into the hair only needs to press the knob portion 137, it can be easily operated without using the dominant hand.

In the above embodiment, the other holding member 12 is used.
Although 3 is made of an elastic material, instead of this, one holding body 122 may be made of an elastic material and the other holding body 123 may be made of an inelastic material. Both 123 may be made of an elastic material. Further, in the above embodiment, the stopper mechanism 152 is composed of the stopper step portion 149 of the pair of mounting legs 124a and 124b and the stopper edge portion 148 of the pair of mounting legs 131a and 131b. The present invention is not limited to such a structure, and may be composed of, for example, a spacer provided between the holding bodies 122 and 123.

The detailed structure of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the design can be changed appropriately. For example, it is possible to fix a decorative body made of a natural material such as metal, synthetic resin, wood, etc. on the upper side sandwiching body to change the aesthetic appearance in the mounted state.
