| 20100012144 | ADJUSTABLE AUTO-CLASP BARRETTE - An adjustable auto-clasp barrette includes a base, a hinged and clasped locking arm, and a resilient leaf spring positioned between the base and the locking arm. The locking arm and the leaf spring cooperate to engage the hair to secure the barrette in the user's hair. An adjustment coupling permits the positions of the leaf spring ends to be longitudinally adjusted relative to the base to increase or decrease how much the leaf spring deflects and bows outwardly. With the spring ends positioned farther apart the leaf spring is less bowed for holding thicker hair or a larger volume of finer hair. And with the spring ends positioned closer together the leaf spring is more bowed for holding finer hair or a smaller volume of thick hair. | 01-21-2010 |

The main section of each of the first and second parts further includes a clipping section between the pivotal portion and the coupling section. The pivotal portions are pivotably connected to allow the first part to pivot relative to the second part between an extended state and a folded state. The first and second parts are located in a common plane and together form a C-shaped hair band when in the extended state. The first and second parts are located side by side to form a hairclip when in the folded state with the coupling sections of the first and second parts engaged with each other. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100108091 | ADJUSTABLE BARRETTE - A base member and a retainer member adjustably coupled to the base. The retainer and base define a receptacle for holding a bundle of hair. The retainer has at least one freeable end that can be moved between an open position separated from the base and a series of closed positions attached to the base. When the retainer is in the first closed position, the receptacle is generally flat and wide. When the retainer is in the last closed position, the receptacle is generally tall and narrow, thereby providing a more volumized look to the hair. And when the retainer is in an intermediate closed position, the receptacle has an intermediate flatness and wideness. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100175710 | HAIR CLIP - A hair clip includes first and second coupling members. An engaging member and a guide member are provided on an inner face of the second clamping member. A spacing between the guide member and the first section of the engaging member is equal to a width of a coupling portion on an end of the first clamping member. The guide member includes an inclined surface having increasing spacings to the engaging member toward a top of the guide member. When the first clamping member is moved to a closed position, a lateral side of the coupling portion abuts against and slides along the inclined surface into a space defined by the engaging member, and the coupling portion is received between the engaging member and the guide member. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20110005548 | HAIR-CLIPPER - ‘HAIR-CLIPPER’, the proposal of such Inventive Disposition Introduced in Hair-clipper is a Patent of Utility Model being composed by variations of style that will be able to give professionals easiness and options on hair holding, the hair-clipper now referred innovates as to making its use easier and giving options on hair holding way efficiently, irrespectively of the hair volume, amount or thickness, and whether the hair is straight, curly, thin or thick. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110030720 | Barrette changeable to hair clip - A hair barrette includes two barrette members each having an outer head engaging end and an ear extended from an inner coupling end, and a coupling device includes two coupling members disposed above and below the ears and having two pivot axles for pivotally coupling the ears between the coupling members and for allowing the barrette members to be folded to an opened working position where the barrette members are opened and oppositely spaced from each other for forming or operating as a hair barrette device, and to be folded relative to each other to a folded storing position where the barrette members are engaged with each other for forming or operating as a hair clip device. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110209722 | HAIR CLIP - A hair clip, comprising: a lower clip body and an upper clip body pivotally connected together at one end of each; corresponding locking and fixing devices formed at the other ends of said lower clip body and upper clip body; wherein a plastic slice is formed at an end of an elastic locking clip adjacent to a wall of the locking and fixing device formed at said upper clip body and is pressed against said wall in a tilted relation. The hair clip according to the invention implements an improved locking and fixing method and produces the same locking and fixing effect as the locking and fixing method commonly used for prior art hair clips does. Moreover, since the locking and fixing devices and the plastic slice controlling their switch can be formed one-piece, manufacture of the hair clip is simplified. | 09-01-2011 |
