Abstract
The present invention is concerned with a hair fastener in the form of a hair claw. The hair fastener has a first claw member hingedly and pivotably connected to a second claw member. The first claw member and the second claw member define a cavity therebetween for housing a log of hair in use. The first claw member and the second claw member are provided with a plurality of first prongs and a plurality of fifth prongs which together define a first, outer, prong layer, a plurality of third and fourth prong which together define a second, middle, prong layer, and a plurality of second and sixth prongs which together define a third, inner, prong layer.

A hair fastener in the form of a hair claw, comprising:
- first and second claw members pivotably connected by a hinge, wherein:
- the first claw member and the second claw member define a cavity there between for housing a bundle of hair in use and a transverse plane extends through the hinge between the first and second claw members bisecting the cavity,
- the first claw member includes at least one first finger and at least one second finger,
- the at least one first finger includes a first prong extending from a distal end thereof and a second prong extending from a mid-portion thereof,
- the at least one second finger includes a third prong extending from a distal end thereof,
- the second claw member includes at least one third finger and at least one fourth finger,
- the at least one third finger includes a fourth prong extending from a distal end thereof,
- the at least one fourth finger includes a fifth prong extending from a distal end thereof and a sixth prong extending from a mid-portion thereof,
- the first and fifth prongs are longer than the third and fourth prongs,
- the first and fifth prongs are longer than the second and sixth prongs,
- the third and fourth prongs are longer than the second and sixth prongs,
- the at least one first finger is arranged at a farthest lateral end of the first claw member, and
- wherein in a closed configuration:
- the fourth prong is positioned between the first and second prongs, and the third prong is positioned between the fifth and sixth prongs,
- the first prong and the fifth prong define an outer prong layer, and the first and fifth prongs define a lower boundary of the cavity opposite the hinge for accommodating and securing a bundle of hair in use,
- the second prong and the sixth prong define an inner prong layer, and the second and sixth prongs are arranged in an upper portion of the cavity for penetrating into and securing the bundle of hair, where free end portions of the second and sixth prongs occupy a portion of the center of the cavity where the transverse plane extends,
- the third prong and the fourth prong define a middle prong layer, and the third and fourth prongs extend into the cavity for penetrating into and securing the bundle of hair in use.
