Hair barrette having helical structure

Abstract

A hair barrette includes an elongated coil member having two ends, and a tubular connecting member for securing the ends of the elongated coil member together and for forming a closed loop structure and for allowing the hair barrette to be easily and quickly attached or engaged onto the head of the user. The tubular connecting member includes a bore for receiving the ends of the elongated coil member and for securing the ends together with an adhesive material. The elongated coil member includes two or more coil segments connected together with elongated wire members for forming the closed loop structure, and may be easily and quickly manufactured and assembled.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a hair barrette, and more particularly to a hair barrette including a spiral or helical or coil structure or body member that may be easily and quickly manufactured and assembled and that may be used for suitably styling the hair of the user.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Typical hair barrettes comprise a resilient head band and a resilient coil connected to the resilient head band and adapted to encircle and support a coiffure.[0005]For example, U.S. Pat. No. 2,455,715 to Webster discloses one of the typical ornamental hair barrettes comprising a light weight and resilient head band curved to fit a transverse contour of the head near the forward portion thereof, and a resilient coil hair supporting and retaining band having a spiral shape and connected to the resilient head band and adapted to encircle and support a coiffure.[0006]However, the two ends of the resilient head ...

Benefits of technology

[0012]The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a hair barrette including a spiral or helical or coil structure or body member that may be easily and quickly manufactured and assembled and that may be used for suitably styling the hair of the user.

[0013]In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a hair barrette comprising an elongated coil member including two ends, and a tubular connecting member for securing the ends of the elongated coil member together and for forming a closed loop structure and for allowing the hair barrette to be easily and quickly attached or engaged onto the head of the user and for suitably styling the hair of the user.

Problems solved by technology

However, the two ends of the resilient head band and the resilient coil may not be connected together to form a closed structure.

However, the two ends of the spiral spring also may not be connected together to form a closed structure.

However, the two elongated members are separated or disengaged from each other and the two elongated members may be easily lost after use.
