Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a device for fixing hair bundles, and more particularly to a multifunctional hair clip and its combination device. Background Technology

[0002] Hair clips, or hairpins, are everyday tools used to hold and secure hair. To cater to consumer demand, commercially available hair clips often feature decorative elements such as beads, combs, or bows.

[0003] Currently, a type of decorative hair clip on the market uses a socket welded or glued to the outer surface of the hair clip body, into which the decorative item is inserted for easy attachment and removal. However, because the socket is located on the outer surface of the hair clip body, it disrupts the overall appearance of the hair clip. For example, Chinese utility model patent application number CN202121671421.9, published on 2021-12-21, discloses a hair clip belonging to the field of headwear products. It includes a hair clip top cover and a hair clip base plate. The hair clip top cover is decorated with decorative items, including ornaments and connectors fixedly connected to the ornaments. One end of the connector is embedded in the hair clip top cover, and the hair clip top cover has a snap-fit ​​component corresponding to the embedded end of the connector. This utility model uses the snap-fit ​​component to release the fixing effect on the connector, allowing the decorative item to be removed and replaced with a different ornament, which is then inserted into the snap-fit ​​component to fix the ornament, thus enhancing the practicality of the hair clip.

[0004] In the aforementioned patents, the connector and the hair clip top cover are fixed using a combination of embedded and snap-fit ​​methods, which damages the overall appearance of the hair clip. Furthermore, the decorative item is fixedly connected to the connector, requiring the entire decorative item to be replaced when changing it, which is inconvenient. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a hair clip that can easily attach and detach decorative items without compromising the overall appearance of the hair clip. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a multifunctional hair clip and its combination device. The hair clip and its combination device have the advantage of being able to conveniently attach and detach decorations without damaging the overall appearance of the hair clip.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] This utility model first discloses a multifunctional hair clip suitable for use with decorative accessories, comprising two clips hinged to each other and a hinge spring disposed between the two clips; the hinge spring comprises a spring body formed by a spring wire spirally wound in a directional manner and elastic arms located at both ends of the spring body; the hinge spring further comprises at least one engagement portion biased to the outside of the spring body, the engagement portion being formed by the spring wire extending outward and wound around the spring body; wherein, the engagement portion is configured to be detachably engaged with the decorative accessory to facilitate the attachment and removal of the decorative accessory.

[0008] To optimize the above technical solution, the following technical measures were also adopted:

[0009] Furthermore, the joint is a hole-like portion suitable for insertion of the decorative element.

[0010] Furthermore, the spring body includes a first part and a second part, and the joint is an extension of the winding end of the first part that connects to the winding beginning of the second part.

[0011] Furthermore, the joint is disposed between the spring body and the elastic arm.

[0012] Furthermore, the joint includes a first joint and a second joint, wherein the first joint and the second joint are arranged opposite to each other.

[0013] Furthermore, a first elastic arm and a second elastic arm are respectively provided at both ends of the spring body; wherein, the first joint extends from one end of the spring body and connects to the first elastic arm, and the second joint extends from the other end of the spring body and connects to the second elastic arm.

[0014] Furthermore, the spring body includes a first part, a second part, and a third part; wherein, the first joint extends from the winding end of the first part and connects to the winding beginning of the second part, and the second joint extends from the winding end of the second part and connects to the winding beginning of the third part.

[0015] Furthermore, the clamp includes a handle portion and a claw-shaped portion, and the hinge spring engages between the handle portions of the two clamps.

[0034] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 5This embodiment first provides a multifunctional hair clip 12, suitable for use in conjunction with a decorative piece 13. The decorative piece 13 has a rod-shaped portion 131. The hair clip 12 includes: two clamps 121 hinged to each other, adapted to clamp hair by engaging with each other; and a hinge spring 122 disposed between the two clamps 121, which applies force to the two clamps 121 in the direction of engagement. It should be noted that the hinge here refers to a connection via a hinge, which is a mechanical device used to connect two solids and allow relative rotation between them, such as common hinges, pivots, or spring hinges. In this embodiment, the two clamps 121 can be rotatably connected via a pivot 14, wherein the pivot 14 can be formed on one of the clamps 121 or can be detachably attached to the clamp 121 as a separate component. Of course, in other embodiments, the two clamps 121 can also be hinged solely by the hinge spring 122, which is not limited here.

[0037] refer to Figure 3 As shown, with the reader's viewing direction as a reference, the upper clamp 121 is provided with a first hinge seat 1213, and the lower clamp 121 is provided with a second hinge seat 1214. The pivot 14 is disposed in a pivot hole between the first hinge seat 1213 and the second hinge seat 1214. Preferably, at least one end of the pivot 14 is stamped to form a retaining edge 141, which is used to prevent the pivot 14 from disengaging from the pivot hole.

[0038] refer to Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the hinge spring 122 includes a spring body 1221 formed by a spring wire spirally wound in a directional manner and elastic arms 1222 located at both ends of the spring body 1221. One end of each elastic arm 1222 abuts against the corresponding clamp 121. Preferably, the clamp 121 is provided with an abutment fixing groove, and the elastic arm 1222 abuts against the abutment fixing groove.

[0039] In this embodiment, the hinge spring 122 further includes at least one engagement portion 1223 biased on the outside of the spring body 1221. The engagement portion 1223 is formed by spring wire extending outward and wound around the spring body 1221. The engagement portion 1223 is configured to be detachably engaged with the decorative element 13 to facilitate the installation and removal of the decorative element 13.

[0040] Specifically, the joint portion 1223 is a hole-like portion suitable for inserting the decorative element 13. In this embodiment, the hole-like portion can be a square hole, a round hole, or an irregularly shaped hole, etc., and this embodiment is not limited. However, it is understood that in this embodiment, the hole-like portion and the rod-like portion 131 of the decorative element 13 are preferably fitted with an interference fit so that the decorative element 13 can be inserted more securely into the joint portion 1223. In addition, there is no specific limitation on the number of joint portions 1223 in this embodiment, and there can be two, three, or more.

[0041] In this embodiment, the joint 1223 is disposed between the spring body 1221 and the elastic arm 1222.

[0042] refer to Figure 4 As shown in Figure 5, to further illustrate the case where multiple joints 1223 are provided, the joints 1223 may include a first joint and a second joint, which are arranged opposite to and spaced apart. This has the advantage of preventing the rod-shaped portion 131 from swinging or wobbling relative to the hairpin 12 when inserted into a single joint made of spring wire, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the decorative piece 13 during insertion.

[0043] Specifically, the elastic arm 1222 includes a first elastic arm and a second elastic arm. The first connecting portion extends from one end of the spring body 1221 and connects to the first elastic arm, while the second connecting portion extends from the other end of the spring body 1221 and connects to the second elastic arm. It should be noted that the winding of the connecting portion 1223 can be performed simultaneously with the process of winding the hinged spring 122 into a spring blank, thus reducing production and manufacturing costs. Since the processing and assembly of the spring are prior art and unrelated to the purpose of this invention, they will not be described in detail here.

[0044] In addition, in this embodiment, the clamp 121 includes a handle portion 1211 and a claw-shaped portion 1212. An installation space is formed between the handle portions 1211 of the two clamps 121. The hinge spring 122 is placed entirely within the installation space, so that the joint portion 1223 can be hidden inside the clamps 121. This not only does not affect the appearance of the clamps 121, but also facilitates user operation.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] The basic structure of this embodiment is largely the same as that of Embodiment 1. The difference lies in the combination of... Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the joint 1223 is entirely disposed on the spring body 1221.

[0047] Specifically, the spring body 1221 includes a first part and a second part, and the joint 1223 extends from the winding end of the first part and connects to the winding beginning of the second part.

[0048] Similarly, when two connecting portions 1223 are provided, the spring body 1221 includes a first part, a second part, and a third part. The first connecting portion extends from the winding end of the first part and connects to the winding beginning of the second part, and the second connecting portion extends from the winding end of the second part and connects to the winding beginning of the third part. This can also be repeated, with three or more connecting portions 1223, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0049] Additionally, it should be noted that although this embodiment only presents two scenarios—the joint 1223 being integrally disposed on the spring body and the joint 1223 being disposed between the spring body 1221 and the elastic arm 1222—it is understood that the joint 1223 can actually be disposed at any position on the hinge spring 122. For example, the joint 1223 can also be integrally disposed on the elastic arm 1222, which can also achieve the inventive objective of this application. Therefore, the above scenarios are also included within the scope of the present invention.

[0050] In summary, in the two embodiments described above, by forming a joint 1223 on the hinge spring 122 that is detachably connected to the decorative element 13, the decorative element 13 can be easily installed and removed, and the user can replace the decorative element 13 as needed. Moreover, since the joint 1223 is provided on the hinge spring 122 rather than on the clip 121, the overall appearance of the hair clip 12 is not damaged, which means that it can meet the needs of consumers for use in special and ordinary occasions.

[0051] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
