Abstract
A hair clip comprises a body, jaws mounted on the body and a jaw opening arrangement to allow the jaws to be opened single handed. The jaws have tines and are mounted at spaced positions on the body so as to be pivotable at the positions to resiliently grip hair in the tines. The spacing of the pivot positions on the body enables a body to be used which can be decorated or hollow to enhance the aesthetics of the hair clip.
Claims73
A hair clip comprising a body portion;
- jaw portions attached to said body portion;
- and a jaw opening arrangement to allow said jaw portions to be opened single handed;
- said jaw portions having tines and being hingedly and resiliently connected to said body portion to urge said tines together for gripping hair, wherein said jaw portions are connected to said body portion at hinge positions defining laterally spaced axes, said jaw opening arrangement comprises handle portions extending from said jaw portions away from said tines to allow said jaw portions to be opened by urging said handle portions about said axes and said body portion defines a space therein for receiving hair gripped by said tines.
A hair clip comprising a body portion;
- jaw portions attached to said body portion;
- and a jaw opening arrangement to allow said jaw portions to be opened single handed;
- said jaw portions having tines and being hingedly and resiliently connected to said body portion to urge said tines together for gripping hair, wherein said jaw portions are connected to said body portion at hinge positions defining laterally spaced axes, and said body portion has thin section edge portions defining a large aperture between said axes, to allow hair of a wearer to be seen therethrough when worn.
A hair clip comprising a body portion;
- jaw portions attached to said body portion;
- and a jaw opening arrangement to allow said jaw portions to be opened single handed;
- said jaw portions having tines and being hingedly and resiliently connected to said body portion to urge said tines together for gripping hair, wherein said jaw portions are connected to said body portion at hinge positions defining laterally spaced axes, said body portion comprises a base portion to which said jaw portions are connected and at least one decorative cover portion, and at least one said decorative cover portion is removable in use to enable different cover portions to be connected to said base portion.
A hair clasp comprising opposed jaws having teeth arranged to meet to clasp hair, a jaw opening arrangement extending away from said jaws and for opening the jaws single handed, and a mount arrangement on which said jaws are resiliently mounted at two or more laterally spaced pivot axes, wherein said mount arrangement defines a concave space into which hair is received when gripped by said jaws.
A hair clip comprising jaw means having teeth arranged to meet to grip hair, jaw opening means extending away from said jaw means and for opening said jaw means single handed, and a mount means on which said jaw means are mounted so as to be resiliently pivoted about at least two laterally spaced axes, wherein said mount means defines a concave space into which hair is received when gripped by said jaw means.
A hair clip comprising a body portion;
- jaw portions attached to said body portion;
- and a jaw opening arrangement to allow said jaw portions to be opened single handed;
- wherein said jaw portions have tines and are hingedly and resiliently connected to said body portion to urge said tines together to a closed position for gripping hair, said jaw portions are connected to said body portion at hinge positions defining laterally spaced hinge axes, and said jaw portions and said body define an outer hair clip surface which is substantially cylindrical when said jaw portions are in the closed position.
A hair clip comprising a body portion;
- jaw portions attached to said body portion;
- and a jaw opening arrangement to allow said jaw portions to be opened single handed;
- wherein said jaw portions have tines and are hingedly and resiliently connected to said body portion to urge said tines together to a closed position for gripping hair, said jaw portions are connected to said body portion at hinge positions defining laterally spaced hinge axes, and said tines are arranged to meet substantially in a plane when said jaw portions are in the closed position.
A hair clip comprising a body portion extending along an axis;
- jaw portions attached to said body portion, said jaw portions having tines and being hingedly and resiliently connected to said body portion to urge said tines together to a closed position for gripping hair, and said jaw portions being connected to said body portion at hinge positions defining laterally spaced hinge axes parallel to said axis;
- a jaw opening arrangement to allow said jaw portions to be opened single handed;
- and cover portions extending from said jaw portions to cover at least a portion of the gaps between said body portion and said jaw portions and arranged to move under or over said body portion when said jaw portions are opened.
