1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to hair clips for arranging the hair, and more particularly to such a hair clip, which has an elastic pressure member suspending between the upper and lower clamping plates thereof to enhance hair clip positioning stability during application.
2. Description of the Related Art
The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is one object of the present invention to provide a hair clip, which has an elastic pressure member suspending between the upper and lower clamping plates thereof to enhance hair clip positioning stability during application.
To achieve this and other objects of the present invention, a hair clip comprises an upper clamping plate having two locating blocks or hook plates located on the bottom side thereof, a lower clamping plate, a pivot pin pivotally connecting the rear end of the upper clamping plate and the rear end of the lower clamping plate together, a torsion spring mounted on the pivot pin with two opposing ends thereof respectively stopped against the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate to elastically hold the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate in a close position, and an elastic pressure member connected between the locating blocks or hook plates of upper clamping plate and suspending between the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate to enhance positioning stability during application of the hair clip to arrange the hair of a user.
Referring to
The upper clamping plate 1 comprises a narrow elongated body 12 defining opposing top and bottom sides, a clamping surface 13 located on the bottom side of the narrow elongated body 12, two locating blocks 14 located on the bottom side of the narrow elongated body 12 at opposing front and rear sides relative to the clamping surface 13, two coupling flanges 11 bilaterally and perpendicularly extended from a rear end thereof in a parallel manner, and a pivot hole 111 located on each coupling flange 11. The clamping surface 13 can be a toothed surface or embossed surface to enhance friction relative to the hair. The lower clamping plate 2 comprises a narrow elongated body 22 defining opposing top and bottom sides, a clamping surface 23 located on the top side of the narrow elongated body 22, two coupling flanges 21 bilaterally and perpendicularly extended from a rear end thereof in a parallel manner, and a pivot hole 211 located on each coupling flange 21. The clamping surface 23 can be a toothed surface or embossed surface to enhance friction relative to the hair. The pivot pin 3 is inserted through the pivot holes 211 of the lower clamping plate 2 and the pivot holes 111 of the upper clamping plate 1 to pivotally connect the upper clamping plate 1 and the lower clamping plate 2 together. The torsion spring 31 is mounted on the pivot pin 3 with the opposing ends thereof respectively stopped against the upper clamping plate 1 and the lower clamping plate 2 to elastically hold the upper clamping plate 1 and the lower clamping plate 2 in a close position. The elastic pressure member 4 is a flexible bar suspending between the upper clamping plate 1 and the lower clamping plate 2, having two distal ends 41 thereof respectively fastened to the locating blocks 14 of the upper clamping plate 1.

The upper clamping plate 1 comprises a narrow elongated body 12 defining opposing top and bottom sides, a clamping surface 13 located on the bottom side of the narrow elongated body 12, two hook plates 15 located on the bottom side of the narrow elongated body 12 at opposing front and rear sides relative to the clamping surface 13, two coupling flanges 11 bilaterally and perpendicularly extended from a rear end thereof in a parallel manner, and a pivot hole 111 located on each coupling flange 11. The clamping surface 13 can be a toothed surface or embossed surface to enhance friction relative to the hair. The lower clamping plate 2 comprises a narrow elongated body 22 defining opposing top and bottom sides, a clamping surface 23 located on the top side of the narrow elongated body 22, two coupling flanges 21 bilaterally and perpendicularly extended from a rear end thereof in a parallel manner, and a pivot hole 211 located on each coupling flange 21. The clamping surface 23 can be a toothed surface or embossed surface to enhance friction relative to the hair. The pivot pin 3 is inserted through the pivot holes 211 of the lower clamping plate 2 and the pivot holes 111 of the upper clamping plate 1 to pivotally connect the upper clamping plate 1 and the lower clamping plate 2 together. The torsion spring 31 is mounted on the pivot pin 3 with the opposing ends thereof respectively stopped against the upper clamping plate 1 and the lower clamping plate 2 to elastically hold the upper clamping plate 1 and the lower clamping plate 2 in a close position. The elastic pressure member 6 is an elastic rubber or silicon rubber band connected between the hook plates 15 of the upper clamping plate 1, defining two parallel body portions 61 suspending between the upper clamping plate 1 and the lower clamping plate 2. Further, the surface of the elastic pressure member 6 is an embossed or coarsened non-slip surface. This second embodiment achieves the same effects as the aforesaid first embodiment does.
Although particular embodiments of the invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
