Definitions
- the present invention relates to a crab clip for hair, having two jaws grasping the hair, the jaws being fixed on a flexible blade, said blade forming a base for the jaws and representing the main decorative element of the clamp.
- the crab clamps are well known in the state of the art.
- They generally consist of two jaws in the form of curved comb connected by a spring that is usually tried to camouflage for aesthetic reasons.
- US200801 9129; US 20090255552; US20090277469; US 20100139687 and US9232841 disclose including this type of crab clamp. All these crab clamps comprise springs generally arranged in a geometry of revolution around a real axis or virtual tilting of the two jaws.
- US 2012/048291 discloses a hair clip having a body of resilient material, having the shape of a dome, and two jaws. The hair clip is movable between an open position, where the body protrudes from the plane of the clip in the axial direction inward and where the two jaws are spaced, and a closed position, where portions of both jaws overlap.
- the present invention takes the opposite of the philosophy of camouflage springs and no longer considers it as a necessary evil but as the main decorative element of the clamp by fixing an elastic base on all surfaces of support of the jaws, making this element fully visible once the clamp fixed in the hair. Goals of the invention
- the present invention aims to provide a crab clip for hair, having two jaws, the jaws being fixed on a flexible blade forming a base for the jaws, the flexible blade representing the main decorative element of the clamp.
- the present invention discloses a hair crab clip comprising two jaws with support means and a flexible blade, the jaw support means being fixed on the flexible blade, the flexible blade forming, at the same time, the base for fixing the support means for rotating the jaws about an axis and the spring to create a restoring force when opening the clamp.
- the flexible blade covers substantially the entire surface of the support means of the two jaws;
- the structure of the clamp is free of hinges located on the jaws;
- the jaws have teeth
- the flexible blade has an openwork open structure
- the folded flexible blade forms two contiguous planes forming an angle between 160 ° and 60 °, preferably between 10 ° and 80 ° and particularly preferably between 120 ° and 90 ° when the clamp is completely closed;
- the flexible blade has an open or closed triangle or rectangle shape, open or closed rhombus or an open or closed elliptical shape
- the flexible blade covers at least 80%, preferably 90% of the support surface of the jaws
- the flexible blade has a surface greater than the surface of the support means of the jaws.
- Figure 1 shows a view in three dimensions and at different angles of the crab clamp according to the invention both in the open position and in the closed position.
- FIG. 2 represents five examples of embodiments of the crab clip according to the invention.
- the flexible blade that forms the base for the jaw supports can take many different forms.
- Figure 3 shows another example of embodiment of the crab clamp according to the invention wherein the flexible blade has a larger dimension to the surface of the jaw supports.
- Figure 4 shows some examples of decorative elements that can be shown on the flexible blade of the crab clamp.
- the present invention discloses a crab clip for hair, where the traditional hinge connecting the two clamps is replaced by a sufficiently flexible blade, the blade forming a base on which are fixed the two jaws by means of support means .
- the flexible blade 3 also represents the main decorative element of the clamp 1. This is illustrated in the figures.
- the flexible blade 3 covers substantially the entire surface of the support means 5 of the jaws 2, namely at least 80%, preferably at least 90% of the surface, and thus forms a base or a support on which are fixed these jaws and becomes a decorative part of the crab clip that we do not try to camouflage but rather to highlight. Nevertheless, the flexible blade may even have a surface much greater than that of the support means 5 of the jaws 2 as illustrated in FIG.
- the flexible blade is made of stainless steel whose bending will give the expected spring effect.
- the folding of the blade will form two contiguous planes which will form an angle between 160 ° and 60 °, preferably between 140 ° and 80 ° and particularly preferably between 120 ° and 90 ° when the clamp is completely closed.
- the folding of the flexible blade will allow the jaws to rotate about an axis 4, it can be virtual.
- the two contiguous planes of the flexible blade 3 may be perforated and have different shapes closed or open (openwork) such as right triangles, diamonds, ellipses or disks.
- the crab clip 1 of the present invention is therefore free of helical or ring-shaped springs.
- a flexible blade 3 forming a base for the jaws is fixed on the support means 5 of the jaws 2. It comprises a pivot axis 4 but no hinge connected to the jaws 2.
