US 2023/0225476 A1 · REVERSIBLE HAIRCLIP

Abstract

Various reversible hairclips are disclosed. The reversible hairclip can include a band and a curved pin. The band can comprise a first end and a second end. The reversible hairclip can comprise a knob, a tip end, and a slot between the knob and the tip end. The tip end can comprise a plurality of notches along first and second elongate sides of the curved pin that are configured to engage with the second end of the band. The slot of the pin can be configured to receive the first end of the band such that the first end of the band is able to move within the slot. The curved pin can be configured to rotate about an axis of the first end of the band such that the second end of the band is able to engage with the plurality of notches on the pin.

Dependent claims

A reversible hairclip comprising:

a flexible inelastic band comprising a first loop comprising a first indented portion at a first end, a second loop comprising a second indented portion at a second end, a middle section between the first and second loops, an interior material having spring-like properties, and an exterior material,
wherein the first loop, the second loop, and the middle section are arranged to form a figure eight shape,
wherein an outer diameter of the first indented portion and an outer diameter of the second indented portion is smaller than an outer diameter of an adjacent portion of the flexible inelastic band,
wherein the first end of the first loop is spaced from the middle section and the second end of the second loop is spaced from the middle section,
wherein the exterior material encases the interior material such that the exterior material prevents fluid from contacting the interior material;
and
a curved pin comprising a first elongate side, a second elongate side, a knob, a tip end opposite the knob, and a slot,
wherein the knob comprises a first portion and a second portion that are joined together and the knob is configured to pass through the first loop,
wherein the curved pin comprises a length extending from the knob to the tip end,
wherein the slot is positioned adjacent the knob and extends along at least a portion of the length of the curved pin toward the tip end,
wherein the slot is configured to receive the first indented portion of the flexible inelastic band and the first indented portion of the flexible inelastic band is movable within the slot,
wherein the tip end comprises a plurality of notches along the first and second elongate sides and the plurality of notches are configured to engage with the second indented portion of the flexible inelastic band,
wherein the curved pin is configured to rotate around an axis of the first indented portion such that the plurality of notches along the first or second elongate side of the tip end of the curved pin can engage with the second indented portion.
