UNITED STATES WILLIAM H. H. DAVIS, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
HAIRPIN'.
Application filed April 27, 1926. Serial No. 104,88'7.
This invention relates generally to hair pins and particularly to a hair pin adapted to be used with short or bobbed hair.
It is an object of this invention to devise a hair pin having a pair of spring branches which may be readily spread for insertion in the hair.
Further objects of the invention will up pear from the following description in which I have set forth the preferred embodiment of my invention.
Referring to the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side view of a pin constructed in accordance with this invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the pin shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a perspective detail showing the construction of the ends of the branches.
As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the pin is constructed of a single flat strip 10 of spring metal which in the process of manufacture is doubled to form a loop 11 and a pair of branches 12 and 13. These branches are constantly urged together by the natural resilience of the strip 10 and have their inner flat faces in contiguous relationship throughout their length.
The pin thus far described has been in common use by the Chinese for many years. However, in this invention provision has been made for facilitating spreading of the branches 12 and 13 when arranging the same in the hair. The free ends 14 and 15 of the branches are of equal length and have oppositely beveled ends 16 and 17. Thus if the pin is grasped near the loop with one hand, the end of the nearest branch may be readily engaged by the finger of the other hand and sprung away from the other branch. Since both of the ends are beveled it does not matter which branch is facing the operator as the pointed end of the nearest branch will always be in a position to be engaged.
It will be seen that such a pin may be more conveniently positioned in the hair as the ends may be spread without first inspecting their position. Also since the ends lie in close contiguous relationship the branches will not be apt tobecome crossed.
I claim:
, 1. A hair pin comprising a looped portion and a pair of branches formed of a single 2. A hair pin comprising a looped portion and a pair of branches formed of a single strip of spring metal having a flat lnner side, the inner sides of said branches being retained in contiguous relationship throughout their length by the natural resilience of the strip, the free ends of said branches be ing also in contiguous relationship and oppositely beveled in the direction of their width.
3. A hair pin comprising a pair of flat connected branches, the tip of each said branch being pointed and the two points being relatively offset in the direction of the width of said branches.
4. A hair pin comprising a looped portion and a pair of branches formed of a single flat strip of resilientmaterial, the inner sides of said branches being retained in contiguous relationship throughout their length by the inherent resilience of the material, the free ends of said branches being cut away in such a manner as to provide the respective branches with extremities laterally ofiset from each other.
5. A hair pin comprising a pair of fiat contiguous branches, an end of one of said branches terminating in a point at one edge thereof and the corresponding end of the other branch terminating in a point at the edge of said branch opposite to that of the first mentioned branch, whereby access can be had to either point for spreading said branches apart.
6. A hair pin comprising a pair of fiat contiguous branches, said branches being oppositely beveled, defining thereby two later-' ally spaced points with a substantially V- shaped opening therebetween, whereby to facilitate the separation of said branches.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand.
WVILLIAM H. H. DAVIS.
