Abstract
The present invention is concerned with a hair fastener. The hair fastener has a first hair claw member and a second hair claw member for accommodating and securing a log of hair therebetween, a first hinge positioned between and pivotably connecting respective rear ends of the first and second claw members together for controlling relative movement thereof, a first handle connected to a rear end of the first claw member, and a second handle pivotably connected to a rear end of the second claw member, and a lock including a first projection extending from the first handle and a second projection extending from the second handle in that the first and second projections are pointed towards, engageable with and lockable against each other.
Claims20
A hair fastener comprising:
- a first hair claw member and a second hair claw member for accommodating and securing a log of hair therebetween,
- a first hinge positioned between and pivotably connecting together respective rear ends of the first and second claw members for controlling relative movement thereof,
- a first handle connected to a rear end of the first claw member, and a second handle pivotably connected to a rear end of the second claw member,
- a lock including a first projection extending from the first handle and a second projection extending from the second handle in that the first and second projections are pointed towards and engageable with each other, the first projection defining a plurality of recesses along its length and the second projection defining a protrusion for engaging in one of the recesses,
- wherein:
- the hair fastener is adapted to assume a first configuration in which the protrusion is engaged and locked in one of the recesses whereby fastened hair positioned between the first and second hair claw members does not move or expand the first and second claw members relative to each other, or a second configuration in which the protrusion, on depression of the second handle relative to the first handle, is disengaged from said one of the recesses of the first projection whereby the first and second claw members are movable away from each other thus releasing hair positioned therebetween or a third configuration, and
- the extent to which the first and second claw members are positioned and maintained with respect to each other is dependent on the particular recess at which the protrusion engages and locks in.

- a first hinge positioned between and pivotably connecting together respective rear ends of the first and second claw members for controlling relative movement thereof,
- a first handle connected to a rear end of the first claw member,
- a second handle,
- a second hinge pivotably connecting the second handle to the rear end of the second claw member,
- a lock including a first projection extending from the first handle and a second projection extending from the second handle in that the first and second projections are pointed towards and engageable with each other, the first projection defining a plurality of recesses along its length and the second projection defining a protrusion for engaging in one of the recesses,
- wherein:
- the hair fastener is adapted to assume a first configuration in which the second hinge biases the protrusion axially towards one of the recesses, whereby the protrusion is engaged and locked in said one of the recesses and fastened hair positioned between the first and second hair claw members do not move the first and second claw members relative to each other.
