DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
For the purpose to promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiment illustrated in the drawings. Specific language will be used to describe same. It will, nevertheless, be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended, such alternations and further modifications in the illustrated device, and such further applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated herein being contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates.
Referring to FIGS. from 1 to 7, a hair clip combination device in accordance with the present invention is generally comprised of a base 1, a holder member 2 shaped like the receptacle of a flower, a petal-like cover 3, a pistil-like extension rod 4, a metal clip 5, a pin 6, and a clamping rod 7. The base 1 has a retainer rod 8 at one end, an insertion hole 15 at an opposite end, and a through hole 18 adjacent to the retainer rod 8. The retainer rod 8 comprises a coupling block 10 at one end adjacent to the through hole 18, a clamping tip 11 at an opposite end, and a through hole 17 adjacent to the clamping tip 11. The holder member 2 comprises a bottom coupling groove 9, which receives the retainer rod 8 of the base 1, a bevel opening 12 and an insertion hole 16 at two opposite ends of the bottom coupling groove 9. The bevel opening 12 is for engagement with the coupling block 10 of the retainer rod 8 of the base 1. The petal-like cover 3 is covered on the base 1 and secured to the through hole 18. The extension rod 4 is mounted between the base 1 and the petal-like cover 3, having an eye end 19 connected to the through hole 18. The metal clip 5 is fastened to the bottom side of the base 1, having one end fastened to the through hole 18 of the base 1 and the eye end 19 of the extension rod 4 and a screw hole (not shown) on the bottom side of the petal-like cover 3 by a screw 14, and an opposite end fastened to the through hole 17 of the retainer rod 8 of the base 1 and a screw hole (not shown) on the bottom side of the holder member 2 by a screw 13. The pin 6 is for insertion through the insertion hole 15 of the base 1 and the insertion hole 16 of the holder member 2 to hold down the hair. The clamping rod 7 is for insertion into insertion hole 15 of the base 1 to act with clamping tip 11 of the retainer rod 8 of the base 1 in holding down the hair.
The hair clip combination device can be alternatively arranged into any of various forms as shown in FIGS. 8, 9, and 10.
Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 8, the holder member 2 is coupled to the base 1 by fitting the retainer rod 8 into the bottom coupling groove 9 and engaging the coupling block 10 into the bevel opening 12, then the petal-like cover 3 is covered on the base 1 to hold the extension rod 4 on the inside, and then the metal clip 5 is fastened to the through holes 17 and 18 of the base 1 by the screws 13 and 14. When assembled, the metal clip 5 is used for fastening the hair, the base 1, the holder member 2, the petal-like cover 3, and the extension rod 4 form a decorative artificial flower.
Referring to FIGS. 4, 5, and 9, the holder member 2 and the petal-like cover 3 are fastened to the base 1 by the screws 13 and 14, and then the pin 6 is inserted through the insertion hole 15 of the base 1 and the insertion hole 16 of the holder member 2 to work with the base 1 in holding down the hair.
Referring to FIGS. 6, 7, and 10, the holder member 2 and the petal-like cover 3 are fastened to the base 1 by the screws 13 and 14, and then the clamping rod 7 is inserted into insertion hole 15 of the base 1 to act with clamping tip 11 of the retainer rod 8 of the base 1 in holding down the hair.
The invention is naturally not limited in any sense to the particular features specified in the forgoing or to the details of the particular embodiment which has been chosen in order to illustrate the invention. Consideration can be given to all kinds of variants of the particular embodiment which has been described by way of example and of its constituent elements without thereby departing from the scope of the invention. This invention accordingly includes all the means constituting technical equivalents of the means described as well as their combinations.
