Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hair clip for holding hair in place. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Various hair clips are known in the art, which are hair fasteners in which a pair of clamping parts are joined together at an opening / closing operation part at one end, and the other ends of both clamping parts are constantly biased toward each other by a spring.

[0003] A conventional hair clip includes a first clamping portion and a second clamping portion connected to each other by a rotating shaft, and a hair clip equipped with a torsion coil spring that biases the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion so that the tip side of the first clamping portion and the tip side of the second clamping portion can clamp hair.

[0004] When not in use, conventional hair clips have the tips of both clamping parts closed together, and when in use, the opening and closing operation part is operated to release the closed state and clamp the hair between the two clamping parts.

[0005] The hair clip in Patent Document 1 has a hair prevention part attached to one side of the clamping piece, which extends slightly below the pivot when both clamping pieces are closed together, but the spring is not fully hidden and it is not possible to fully prevent hair from getting entangled in the coil part of the spring.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] JP 2004-016346 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] Conventional hair clips are unable to adequately prevent hair from getting into the coil portion of the torsion coil spring when clipping hair. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a clamping device including a first clamping unit and a second clamping unit connected to each other by a rotating shaft, A hair clip comprising a torsion coil spring that biases the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion so that the tip side of the first clamping portion and the tip side of the second clamping portion can clamp hair, a cylindrical portion integrated with the first clamping portion and having a storage chamber for a torsion coil spring formed therein; Further, a lid portion for closing the opening and closing of the storage chamber is provided, The coil portion of a torsion coil spring is built in. Effect of the Invention

[0009] In the present invention, since the coil portion of the torsion coil spring is housed in the storage chamber inside the cylindrical portion, the coil portion is almost hidden from the outside, which further prevents hair from getting caught in the coil portion of the torsion coil spring.

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the following embodiment is merely an example of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, its applications, or its uses.

[0012] <First embodiment> The hair clip according to this embodiment includes a first clamping portion 1 and a second clamping portion 2 connected to each other by a rotating shaft, and torsion coil springs 31 and 32 that bias the first clamping portion 1 and the second clamping portion 2 so that hair can be clamped between the tip side of the first clamping portion 1 and the tip side of the second clamping portion 2. In this embodiment, the hair clip includes the first torsion coil spring 31 and the second torsion coil spring 32.

[0013] The first clamping unit 1 is an elongated member. The first clamping unit 1 is provided with an operating unit 1A, which is operated by a user, on the side opposite to the tip side for clamping hair. The first clamping unit 1 is integrated with a tube portion 3 at a position close to the operating unit 1A.

[0014] The second clamping unit 2 is an elongated member. It is provided with an operating unit 2A. In the second clamping unit 2, a pair of lids that close the openings at both ends of the tube unit 3 are integrated at a position close to the operating unit 2A. Each lid 6A, 6B is formed in a plate shape. Each lid is provided with a hole for passing a screw 8 described later. The pair of lids of the second clamping unit 2 are provided with a hole for passing a screw, and a second arm extending from the gap of the tube unit 3 of the first clamping unit 1 is fixed to the opening / closing operating unit 2A of the second clamping unit 2.

[0015] The tubular portion 3 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape. A partition wall 7 is provided in the tubular portion 3 to divide the internal space into a first storage chamber 3A at one end side and a second storage chamber 3B at the other end side. The partition wall 7 is disposed in the center of the tubular portion 3 in the axial direction. The coil portion 31C of the torsion coil spring 31 is stored in the storage chamber 3A, and the coil portion 32C of the torsion coil spring 32 is stored in the storage chamber 3B.

[0016] A shaft support portion 4 is provided inside the cylindrical portion 3. The shaft support portion 4 is formed in a cylindrical shape and protrudes from the center of the partition wall 7 on one end side and the other end side. The shaft support portion 4 passes inside the coil portion 31C of the torsion coil spring 31 on one end side, and passes through the coil portion 32C of the torsion coil spring 32 on the other end side. A screw hole for attaching a screw 8 penetrates the shaft support portion 4 in the axial direction.

[0017] In each of the accommodation chambers 3A, 3B, cutouts 5A, 5B are formed on the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 3 for fixing first arm portions 31A, 32A of the torsion coil springs 31, 32 to be accommodated therein.

[0018] At both ends of the tube portion 3, gaps 322A, 322B are formed through which the second arms 31B, 32B extending from the coil portions 31C, 32C of the torsion coil springs 31, 32 pass. The second arms 31B, 32B of the torsion coil springs 31, 32 are restrained on the second clamping portion 2 side. In this embodiment, in order to form the above-mentioned gaps 322A, 322B, a part of the entire circumference of each end face of the tube portion 3 is recessed to form recesses 322A, 322B. The recesses 322A, 322B are formed on the second clamping portion 2 side (opposite the tip).

[0019] Effects of the First Embodiment In this embodiment, the coil portions 31C, 32C of the torsion coil springs 31, 32 are built into the storage chambers 3A, 3B in the cylindrical portion 3, so that the coil portions 31C, 32C are almost hidden from the outside. Therefore, it is possible to further prevent hair from being pinched by the coil portions 31C, 32C of the torsion coil springs 31, 32. In addition, in this embodiment, since the two torsion coil springs 31 and 32 are used, the left and right balance is good.

[0020] Second embodiment The hair clip of the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the shape of each clamping part. This hair clip can also have a cylindrical part similar to that of the first embodiment. This hair clip can also have the same configuration as that of the first embodiment with respect to the cylindrical part 3, the lid parts 6A, 6B, the torsion coil springs 31, 32, the housing chambers 31A, 32B thereof, and the fixing or restraining of the arm parts 31A, 31B, 32A, 32B of each torsion coil spring 31, 32.

[0021] Other embodiments In the above-described embodiment, the number of torsion coil springs may be one, in which case the partition wall 7 may be omitted. [Explanation of symbols]
