Abstract
A hair clip includes an elastic clip body frame having a base portion and first and second frame arms extended from the base portion and terminating in a respective free end portion, and one or two clamping arms extended from the base portion of the elastic clip body frame and suspending between the first and second frame arms. The width of each clamping arm gradually reduces from the root portion toward the free end. Subject to the gradually reducing width design of each clamping arm from the base portion toward the free end, two hair-clamping spaces are respectively defined between the first and second frame arms and the clamping arms for holding hair.
Claims16
An elastic hair clip, comprising an elastic clip body frame and two clamping arms, said elastic clip body frame comprising a base portion and first and second frame arms extended from said base portion and respectively terminating in a free end portion, said clamping arms being extended from said base portion of said elastic clip body frame and suspending between said first and second frame arms, each said clamping arm having a fixed and an opposing free end, the fixed end of each said clamping arm being a root portion connected to said base portion, said elastic clip body frame and said clamping arms being integrally made of a flexible elastic material, the free end portions of said first and second frame arms being fastened together, so that said elastic clip body frame exhibits a hollow arched shape and is elastically deformably bendable between a released position where the free ends of said clamping arms are kept apart from said first and second frame arms and a clamped position where the free ends of said clamping arms are attached to the jointed free end portions of said first and second frame arms, the width of each of said clamping arms gradually reducing from said base portion toward the free end of the respective said clamping arm, subject to the gradually reducing width design of each said clamping arm from said base portion toward the free end thereof, two hair-clamping spaces being respectively defined between said first and second frame arms and said two clamping arms for holding hair, the free end of each said clamping arm being terminated into an outer curved portion, so that when said clamping arms and said first and second frame arms are elastically clamped together, the said outer curved portions of said two clamping arms effectively stop the hair from slipping out of the free ends of said two clamping arms.
An elastic hair clip, comprising an elastic clip body frame and a clamping arm, said elastic clip body frame comprising a base portion and first and second frame arms extended from said base portion and respectively terminating in a free end portion, said clamping arm being extended from said base portion of said elastic clip body frame and suspending between said first and second frame arms, said clamping arm having a fixed and an opposing free end, the fixed end of said clamping arm being a root portion connected to said base portion, said elastic clip body frame and said clamping arm being integrally made of a flexible elastic material, the free end portions of said first and second frame arms being fastened together, so that said elastic clip body frame exhibits a hollow arched shape and is elastically deformably bendable between a released position where the free end of said clamping arm is kept apart from the jointed said free end portions of said first and second frame arms and a clamped position where the free end of said clamping arm is attached to the jointed said free end portions of said first and second frame arms, the width of said clamping arm gradually reducing from said base portion toward the free end thereof, subject to the gradually reducing width design of said clamping arm from said base portion toward the free end thereof, two hair-clamping spaces being respectively defined between said first and second frame arms and two opposite lateral sides of said clamping arm for holding hair, the free end of said clamping arm being provided with two outer curved portions, so that when said clamping arm and said first and second frame arms are elastically clamped together, the said outer curved portions of said clamping arm effectively stop the hair from slipping out of the free end of said clamping arm.
An elastic hair clip, comprising an elastic clip body frame, and two clamping arms integrally extended from one end of said elastic clip body frame, said elastic clip body frame comprising first and second frame arms that have respective two opposite ends respectively fastened to each other, each said clamping arm having a fixed and an opposing free end, the fixed end of each said clamping arm being a root portion connected to said elastic clip body frame, said elastic clip body frame and said clamping arms being integrally formed of one flat plate member and bent into shape, the width of said clamping arms gradually reducing from said elastic clip body frame toward the free end, the free end of each said clamping arm being terminated into an outer curved portion, so that when said clamping arms and said elastic clip body frame are elastically clamped together, the said outer curved portions of said two clamping arms effectively stop the hair from slipping out of the free ends of said two clamping arms.
