International ClassA45D 008/22AbstractAn arched hairclip comprises generally an elongate base piece and an elongate tongue piece in arcuate form and pivotally connected with one of their corresponding ends. The base piece has on one end a retainer and the other end a pair of hinge rings. The tongue piece has on one end a buckle member and the other end a pair of the hinge pins, an undulated spring strip integral with and underneath the tongue piece has a cylinder member on free end which displaceably stops against the inward wall of the buckle member providing a great flexibility to the hairclip. This disclosure has been characterized in the adjustable function which prevents a hair bundle therein from being broken by the shearing action and protects the hairclip from sliding off a hair bundle. | |
