Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a hair fixing tool.

Background Art

[0002] A hair fixing tool not only gathers and fixes hair but also has a function as an ornament for decorating hair. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a hair fixing tool in which a decorative member made of a synthetic resin molded product is fixed to a substrate portion of the hair fixing tool.

[0003] However, in the hair fixing tool described in Patent Document 1, since the decorative member is fixed to the substrate portion, the direction of the decoration applied to the decorative member cannot be changed. Therefore, when the decoration applied to the decorative member has an asymmetric design such as an anime character from top to bottom, depending on the position where it is fixed to the hair, the top and bottom are reversed and it becomes an unnatural direction, which is a problem.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] (1) Outline of the Embodiment The hair stopper 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a clip 2 having a pair of clip members 21 and 22 formed in a tapered shape that gradually narrows toward one end, and a plate-like member 3 having insertion holes 34 and 35 into which one of the clip members can be inserted. The insertion holes 34 and 35 disposed inside the plate-like member 3 are formed along a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction of the plate-like member 3, and open on the side surfaces of the first side and the second side opposite to the first side of the plate-like member 3, respectively. The width of the inner part of the plate-like member 3 is formed narrower than the width of the open part. According to the hair stopper 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, by selecting the openings of the insertion holes 34 and 35 into which the clip members 21 and 22 are inserted according to the position where the hair is to be stopped, the orientation of the decoration applied to the decorative member can be changed. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the decoration from being in an unnatural orientation when the hair stopper is attached to the hair. (2) Details of the Embodiment The hair stopper according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9. [First Embodiment] The hair stopper 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is composed of the clip 2 shown in FIG. 1 and the plate-like member 3 shown in FIG. 2. When the user uses the hair stopper 1, the clip member 21, which is one of the pair of clip members 21 and 22 provided on the clip 2, is inserted into either the first opening 341 or the second opening 342 provided in the plate-like member 3. Thereby, the insertion holes 34 and 35 sandwich the clip member 21, and the clip 2 and the plate-like member 3 are integrated as the hair stopper 1. The user stops the hair by inserting this hair stopper 1 into the hair.

[0010] The clip 2 shown in FIG. 1 is a member that plays a role in stopping the hair in the hair stopper 1. The clip 2 is composed of a pair of clip members 21 and 22 facing each other, a pin 23 that pivotally attaches the pair of clip members 21 and 22 to each other, and an elastic body 24 disposed in the vicinity of the pin 23.

[0011] The clip members 21 and 22 are members for sandwiching hair, and are respectively composed of hair-stopping portions 211 and 221, connecting portions 212 and 222, and gripping portions 213 and 223. The clip members 21 and 22 are made of a synthetic resin such as ABS resin, and the hair-stopping portions 211 and 221, the connecting portions 212 and 222, and the gripping portions 213 and 223 are integrally formed by injection molding.

[0012] The hair-stopping portions 211 and 221 are portions provided on the clip members 21 and 22 for sandwiching hair. The hair-stopping portions 211 and 221 constitute the surfaces for sandwiching hair. From the ends on the connecting portions 212 and 222 side to the ends on the side opposite to the connecting portions 212 and 222 side (hereinafter referred to as the tip portions), they have a tapered shape in which the dimension in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the clip members 21 and 22 (hereinafter referred to as the width) gradually becomes narrower. In the central portions of the hair-stopping portions 211 and 221, elongated holes 211A that penetrate in the thickness direction of the clip member 21, extend from the connecting portions 212 and 222 side to the tip portion side, and have a gradually narrowing width are provided respectively.

[0013] One end of the connecting portion 212 is connected to the hair-stopping portion 211 at an obtuse angle, and the end on the side opposite to the end to which the hair-stopping portion 211 side is connected is connected to the gripping portion 213 in a planar manner. One end of the connecting portion 222 is connected to the hair-stopping portion 221 at a planar angle, and the end on the side opposite to the end to which the hair-stopping portion 221 side is connected is connected to the gripping portion 223 in a planar manner. Also, the connecting portions 212 and 222 are respectively provided with connecting surfaces 212A, 212B and 222A, 222B that stand on both sides in the width direction of the surfaces connecting the hair-stopping portions 211 and 221 to the gripping portions 213 and 223. The connection surfaces 212A and 212B are connected to the connection surfaces 222A and 222B by pins 23 described later.

[0014] The gripping portions 213 and 223 are the parts that serve as handles for opening and closing the hair-stopping portions 211 and 221. One end of each of the gripping portions 213 and 223 is connected to the connection portions 212 and 222 at an angle forming a plane. Considering the shape of the fingers, for easy gripping and to enable easy opening and closing of the hair-stopping portions 211 and 221, for example, anti-slip processing such as concavo-convex processing is applied to the surface.

[0015] The pin 23 is a metallic member that pivotally attaches the pair of clip members 21 and 22 to each other. One end of the pin 23 is connected to the connection surfaces 212A and 222A provided on the clip members 21 and 22, and the other end is connected to the connection surfaces 212B and 222B provided on the clip members 21 and 22. Thereby, the clip members 21 and 22 are pivotally supported by the pin 23, and the surfaces for sandwiching the hair of the hair-stopping portions 211 and 221 are connected so as to be rotatable in directions of separating from and approaching each other.

[0016] The elastic body 24 is a member that biases the surfaces for sandwiching the hair of the hair-stopping portions 211 and 221 of the clip members 21 and 22 in a direction of approaching each other. The elastic body 24 is disposed in the vicinity of the pin 23. One end is connected to the gripping portion 213 provided on the clip member 21, and the other end is connected to the gripping portion 223 provided on the clip member 22. Thereby, the surfaces for sandwiching the hair of the hair-stopping portions 211 and 221 are biased in a direction of approaching each other. When the user is not gripping the gripping portions 213 and 223 of the clip members 21 and 22, they maintain a surface-contact state and exert a clamping force.

[0017] The plate-like member 3 shown in FIG. 2 is a member that plays a role of decorating the hair in the hairpin 1. In the hairpin 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, it is formed in the shape of a virtual anime character. The plate-shaped member 3 is made of a synthetic resin such as ABS resin, and is composed of a first surface 31, a second surface 32, and a side surface 33 erected from the peripheral edges of the first surface 31 and the second surface 32. Further, insertion holes 34 and 35 are provided inside the plate-shaped member 3. In this description, for convenience, the direction from the center of the plate-shaped member 3 toward the face of the anime character is defined as the upward direction, the opposite direction as the downward direction, the left side in the direction orthogonal to the vertical direction as the left direction, the opposite side as the right direction, and the direction from the first surface to the second surface as the thickness direction for the description.

[0018] The first surface 31 of the hairpin 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is decorated on the surface. More specifically, according to the shape of the plate-shaped member 3, a pattern of a virtual anime character is decorated on the first surface 31 by printing or the like. In the hairpin 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the decoration on the first surface 31 is implemented by printing on the first surface 31, but the decoration on the first surface 31 is not limited thereto. A three-dimensional decoration such as providing unevenness on the first surface 31 may be applied.

[0019] The insertion holes 34 and 35 are holes provided inside the plate-shaped member 3 along the direction (left-right direction) orthogonal to the thickness direction.

[0020] The first insertion hole 34 is formed with the first opening 341 provided on the first side of the side surface 33 as the starting end and the inside of the plate-shaped member 3 as the ending end. The second insertion hole 35 is formed with the second opening 352 provided on the second side opposite to the first side of the side surface 33 as the starting end, and like the insertion hole 34, with the inside of the plate-shaped member 3 as the ending end.

[0021] The first opening 341 and the second opening 352, which are the starting ends of the insertion holes 34 and 35, are openings provided on the side surface 33 and extending in the peripheral direction of the first surface 31 and the second surface 32. The vertical dimension (hereinafter referred to as the width) of the opening is formed to be large enough to allow the clip member 21 or 22 to be inserted from the tip side of the hairpin portions 211 and 221. Also, the width at the back of the insertion holes 34 and 35 is formed to be narrower than the widths of the first opening 341 and the second opening 352. Specifically, the widths of the insertion holes 34 and 35 are formed to be of such a size that the clip members 21 or 22 can be inserted from the tip side of the hair-stopping portions 211 and 221 at the first opening 341 and the second opening 352 which are the starting ends. On the other hand, at a position a certain distance inside from the first opening 341 and the second opening 352, a part of the upper edge and the lower edge of the inserted clip member 21 or 22 is formed to contact the upper surface side wall and the lower surface side wall of the insertion holes 34 and 35.

[0022] As a result, when the clip member 21 or 22 is inserted into the insertion holes 34 and 35 from the first opening 341 and the second opening 352, the upper edge and the lower edge of the clip member 21 or 22 contact the upper surface side and the lower surface side walls of the insertion holes 34 and 35 and deform, generating a repulsive force in the outer width direction. As a result, the clip member 21 or 22 is clamped by the insertion holes 34 and 35 and fixed to the plate-like member 3.

[0023] The long holes 211A and 221A provided at the central portions of the hair-stopping portions 211 and 221 adjust the repulsive force of the clip members 21 and 22 in the outer width direction in order to facilitate the insertion and removal of the clip members 21 and 22 into and from the insertion holes 34 and 35. As a result, the force required for inserting and removing the clip members 21 and 22 into and from the insertion holes 34 and 35 is reduced, and the attachment and detachment of the clip members 21 and 22 to and from the plate-like member 3 become easy.

[0024] Next, the usage method of the hairpin 1 will be described. When attaching the hairpin 1 to the hair, it is natural that, as seen from a third party, the face of the virtual anime character decorated on the plate-like member 3 comes above the plate-like member, and the explanation will be made on this premise.

[0025] Figs. 3 and 4 are diagrams showing the state of the hairpin 1 when the hairpin 1 is fixed to the left side of the user's head and the clip 2 is inserted horizontally from the front to the back of the user's head. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, with the hair-stopping portion 211 of the clip member 21 arranged such that the face of the virtual anime character is positioned above the plate-like member 3 in a front view, it is inserted into the first opening 341 that opens to the left side of the plate-like member 3 in a rightward direction. Then, the clip member 21 is clamped by the insertion hole 34. When the face of the virtual anime character decorated on the plate-like member 3 is positioned above the plate-like member 3 in a front view, the clip 2 is fixed to the plate-like member 3 with the gripping portion 213 of the clip member 21 facing left. Thereby, the hairpin 1 in which the clip 2 and the plate-like member 3 are integrated is formed.

[0026] When attaching this hairpin 1 to the left side of the user's head, the user holds the gripping portions 213 and 223 so as to be close to each other, separates the hair-stopping portions 211 and 221, and then, as shown in FIG. 4, inserts the clip member 22 horizontally from the front to the rear of the user's head and releases the hand from the gripping portions 213 and 223. Then, the hairpin 1 is fixed to the left side of the user's head in a natural state where the face of the virtual anime character decorated on the plate-like member 3 is positioned upward.

[0027] FIGS. 5 and 6 are diagrams showing the state of the hairpin 1 when the hairpin 1 is attached to the right side of the user's head, which is opposite to the above-described case, and the clip 2 is inserted horizontally from the front to the rear of the user's head. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, with the hair-stopping portion 211 of the clip member 21 arranged such that the face of the virtual anime character is positioned above the plate-like member 3 in a front view, it is inserted into the second opening 352 that opens to the right side of the plate-like member 3 in a leftward direction. Then, the clip member 21 is clamped by the insertion hole 35. When the face of the virtual anime character decorated on the plate-like member 3 is positioned above the plate-like member 3 in a front view, the clip 2 is fixed to the plate-like member 3 with the gripping portion 213 of the clip member 21 facing right. Thereby, the hairpin 1 in which the clip 2 and the plate-like member 3 are integrated is formed.

[0028] The operation of attaching this hairpin 1 to the right side of the user's head is the same as described above, so the description will be omitted. However, when this hairpin 1 is attached to the right side of the head as shown in Fig. 6, it is fixed to the right side of the user's head in a natural state where the face of the virtual anime character decorated on the plate-like member 3 is positioned upward.

[0029] According to the hairpin 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, even when the hairpin is attached to the left side of the user's head or when it is attached to the right side of the user's head, by changing the orientation of the decoration of the hairpin, it is possible to prevent the decoration from being in an unnatural state when the hairpin is attached to the hair.

[0030] In the description of the usage method of the hairpin 1, it is described that the clip member 21 is inserted into the insertion holes 34 and 35. However, the clip member 22 may be inserted into the insertion holes 34 and 35 for use. Even in such a case of use, the same effect as when the clip member 21 is inserted into the insertion holes 34 and 35 can be obtained.

[0031] Also, the clip 2 of the hairpin 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention exerts a clamping force by connecting the clip members 21 and 22 with pins 23 and an elastic body 24, but it is not limited to this. As long as one of the pair of clip members can be inserted into the insertion hole of the plate-like member, a clip that does not use a pin or an elastic body may be used. For example, a clip that forms a pair of clip members by bending a steel material or the like may be used.

[0032] Also, the clip 2 of the hairpin 1 of the present embodiment has elongated holes 211A and 221A provided at the central portions of the hairpin portions 211 and 221, but it is not limited to this. It is not necessary to provide an elongated hole at the central portion of the hairpin portion.

[0033] [Second Embodiment] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the plate-like member 3a of the hairpin 1a according to the second embodiment. Since the clip 2 is the same as the hairpin 1 according to the above-described first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the common members, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0034] The plate-like member 3a in the second embodiment is different from the plate-like member 3 of the hairpin 1 according to the above-described first embodiment, and has only one insertion hole 34a as an insertion hole. The insertion hole 34a is formed so as to penetrate the inside of the plate-like member 3a, and both ends thereof are opened at a first opening 341a provided on the first side of the side surface 33a and a second opening 342a provided on the second side of the side surface 33a, which is located on the opposite side across the first opening 341a and the plate-like member 3a. That is, the insertion hole 34a is also different from the plate-like member 3 of the hairpin 1 according to the first embodiment in that it penetrates the plate-like member 3a. The widths of the first opening 341a and the second opening 342a, which are the ends of the insertion hole 34a, are formed to be large enough to insert the clip member 21 or 22 from the tip side of the hairpin portions 211 and 221. Further, the width of the inner part of the insertion hole 34a is formed such that, at a position that is a certain distance deeper from the first opening 341a and the second opening 342a, a part of the upper edge and the lower edge of the inserted clip member 21 or 22 comes into contact with the upper wall and the lower wall on the upper surface side of the insertion holes 34 and 35. Thereby, when the clip member 21 or 22 is inserted into the first opening 341a or the second opening 342a from the tip of the hairpin portions 211 and 221, the clip member 21 or 22 is clamped by the insertion hole 34a, and the clip 2 is fixed to the plate-like member 3a.

[0035] According to the hairpin 1a according to the second embodiment, similar to the hairpin 1 according to the above-described first embodiment, even when the hairpin is fastened to the left side of the user's head or to the right side of the user's head, by changing the orientation of the decoration of the hairpin, it is possible to prevent the decoration from becoming unnatural when the hairpin is fastened to the hair.

[0036] Further, according to the hair stopper 1a according to the second embodiment, since the insertion hole provided in the plate-like member 3a is only one insertion hole 34a penetrating the plate-like member 3a, the processing of the plate-like member 3a becomes easy.

[0037] [Third Embodiment] Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a plate-like member 3b of a hair stopper 1b according to the third embodiment. Since the clip 2 is the same as the hair stopper 1 according to the first embodiment described above, the same reference numerals are given to the common members, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0038] The plate-like member 3b in the third embodiment has only the insertion hole 34b as the insertion hole, similar to the plate-like member 3a of the hair stopper 1a according to the second embodiment described above. Further, the insertion hole 34b is formed so as to penetrate the inside of the plate-like member 3b, and both ends thereof are opened at a first opening 341b provided on the first side of the side surface 33b and a second opening 342b provided on the second side of the side surface 33b located on the opposite side across the plate-like member 3b and the first opening 341b, which is also similar to the plate-like member 3a.

[0039] The widths of the first opening 341b and the second opening 342b, which are the ends of the insertion hole 34b, are formed to be large enough to insert the clip member 21 or 22 from the tip side of the hair-stopping portions 211 and 221. Further, the width of the depth of the insertion hole 34b is formed to become narrower as it goes from the first opening 341b and the second opening 342b toward the depth of the insertion hole 34b, and at a position advanced inward by a certain distance, a part of the upper edge portion and the lower edge portion of the inserted clip member 21 or 22 is formed to be in contact with the upper wall and the lower wall of the insertion hole 34b. Thereby, when the clip member 21 or 22 is inserted into the first opening 341b or the second opening 342b from the tip of the hair-stopping portions 211 and 221, the clip member 21 or 22 is clamped by the insertion hole 34b, and the clip 2 is fixed to the plate-like member 3b.

[0040] According to the hairpin 1b according to the third embodiment, similar to the hairpin 1 according to the first embodiment described above, even when the hairpin is fastened to the left side of the user's head or to the right side of the user's head, by changing the orientation of the decoration of the hairpin, it is possible to prevent the decoration from becoming unnatural when the hairpin is fastened to the hair.

[0041] Further, according to the hairpin 1b according to the third embodiment, the insertion hole 34b is formed such that the width becomes narrower as it goes deeper into the insertion hole 34b from the first opening 341b and the second opening 342b. Therefore, when the clip members 21 and 22 are inserted from the first opening 341b and the second opening 342b, the contact area between the upper and lower walls of the upper surface side of the insertion hole 34b and the upper and lower edges of the clip members 21 and 22 increases, and the clip members 21 and 22 are more stably fixed to the plate-like member 3b.

[0042] [Fourth Embodiment] Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the plate-like member 3c of the hairpin 1c according to the fourth embodiment. Since the clip 2 is the same as that of the hairpin 1 according to the first embodiment described above, the same reference numerals are given to the common members, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0043] The plate-like member 3c in the fourth embodiment has two insertion holes 34c and 35c that are orthogonal to each other. Further, the insertion holes 34c and 35c are each formed so as to penetrate the inside of the plate-like member 3c. Both ends of the insertion hole 34c are open to a first opening 341c provided on the first side of the side surface 33c and a second opening 342c provided on the second side of the side surface 33c, which is located on the opposite side of the first opening 341c with the plate-like member 3c interposed therebetween. Both ends of the insertion hole 35c are open to a first opening 351c provided on a third side different from the first side of the side surface 33c and a second opening 352c provided on a fourth side of the side surface 33c, which is located on the opposite side of the first opening 351c with the plate-like member 3c interposed therebetween. The insertion holes 34c and 35c are each formed such that the width becomes narrower from the first openings 341c and 351c and the second openings 342c and 352c toward the depths of the insertion holes 34c and 35c. At positions advanced inward by a certain distance, the upper and lower edges of the inserted clip member 21 or 22 are formed to be in contact with the upper and lower walls on the upper surface side of the insertion hole 34c or the right and left walls on the right surface side of the insertion hole 35c. Accordingly, when the clip member 21 or 22 is inserted into the first openings 341c and 351c or the second openings 342c and 352c from the tips of the hair-stopping portions 211 and 221, the clip member 21 or 22 is clamped by the insertion holes 34c and 35c, and the clip 2 is fixed to the plate-like member 3c.

[0044] Accordingly, when the hair-stopping portions 211 and 221 of the clip member 21 or 22 are inserted into the first opening 341c or the second opening 342c of the insertion hole 34c in a state where the face of the virtual anime character is positioned above the plate-like member 3c in a front view, when the clip member 21 or 22 is clamped by the insertion hole 34c and the face of the virtual anime character decorated on the plate-like member 3c is positioned above the plate-like member 3c in a front view, the clip 2 is fixed to the plate-like member 3c with the longitudinal direction of the clip member 21 or 22 facing the left and right directions.

[0045] Further, when the hair-stopping portions 211 and 221 of the clip member 21 or 22 are inserted into the first opening 351c or the second opening 352c of the insertion hole 35c in a state where the face of the virtual anime character is positioned above the plate-like member 3c in a front view, when the clip member 21 or 22 is clamped by the insertion hole 35c and the face of the virtual anime character decorated on the plate-like member 3c is positioned above the plate-like member 3c in a front view, the clip 2 is fixed to the plate-like member 3c with the longitudinal direction of the clip member 21 or 22 facing the up and down directions.

[0046] According to the hairpin 1c according to the fourth embodiment, not only when the clip 2 is inserted from the front to the rear horizontal direction of the user, but also when the clip 2 is inserted in the vertical direction from above to below or from below to above of the user, the orientation of the decoration of the hairpin can be changed so as to cope with it.
