Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a hair barrette that is designed to easily attach to the hair of users and prevent the barrette from moving relative to the users' hair. The hair barrette includes a decorative outer member, a basic member, a tubular sleeve member, and a clamping arm. The tubular sleeve member has projections that can be sharply, smoothly, or wavily shaped. The technical effects of this invention include improved attachment to the hair, stability, and a comfortable fit for the user."

Problems solved by technology

However, due to the high coefficient of friction of the tubular sleeve member, the tubular sleeve member and the clamping arm may also be relatively difficult to be engaged into or through the hair of the users, before the tubular sleeve member and the clamping arm may be engaged onto the decorative body or member.
In addition, due to the high coefficient of friction of the tubular sleeve member, the tubular sleeve member may not be easily engaged onto the clamping arm by the users or the manufacturers.

Embodiment Construction

[0018] Referring to the drawings, and initially to FIGS. 1 and 2, a hair barrette 10 in accordance with the present invention comprises an ornamental or decorative body or outer member 11 which may also be made of plastic or synthetic materials, and which may also be formed into various kinds of colors, shapes or contours for ornamental or decorative use.

[0019] A basic member 20 is to be secured onto the inner portion of the body or outer member 11 with such as fasteners or latches (not shown), or adhesive materials, or by welding processes, and may also be made of plastic or synthetic materials, and a tubular sleeve member 21 may be molded or attached or engaged onto the basic member 20 by molding or mold injection processes, and may include a number of projections or protrusions 22 extended therefrom.

[0020] It is preferable that the tubular sleeve member 21 is made of rubber or some other resilient material having a high coefficient of friction, for engaging onto and for increas...

Abstract

A hair barrette includes a decorative outer member, a basic member secured onto the outer member, a tubular sleeve member attached onto the basic member and made of a resilient material having a high coefficient of friction, and a clamping arm having one end pivotally attached to the basic member with a pivot pin, and the other end for selectively latching to the other end of the basic member, for clamping hair of user between the tubular sleeve member and the clamping arm. The tubular sleeve member includes a number of projections which may include either a sharply protruded structure, a smoothly protruded structure, or a wavy-shaped structure.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a hair clasp or barrette, and more particularly to a hair clasp or barrette having an improved structure for easily attaching to the hair of the users, and for preventing the hair clasp or barrette from being moved relative to the hair of the users. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Typical hair clasps or hair barrettes comprise an ornamental or decorative body or member, and a clamping arm rotatably or hingely attached to the decorative body or member, for engaging into the decorative body or member, and for clasping or clamping the hair of the users between the decorative body or member and the clamping arm. [0005] Normally, the decorative body or member is made of plastic or synthetic materials, and may be formed into various kinds of shapes or contours, and the clamping arm is made of metal materials, and is normally formed into a curved structure for allowing the cla...
