  • Patent number: 11013279
    Abstract: A fastener for a wig having two approximately U-shape members, each configured of a comb teeth fixed piece, and two curved elastic leg portions which extend from both ends of the comb teeth fixed piece. The two approximately U-shape members are connected to each other at a plurality of connecting points located away from each other in a direction that each of the curved elastic leg portions extends under the condition that opening portions of the approximately U-shape members face each other and the curved elastic leg portions are overlapped each other. Accordingly, both members have both a high elastic deformation capability and a high integrity. Therefore, during the operation such that the fastener for a wig are reversed by fingers, if one of the approximately U-shape members is reversed, the other approximately U-shape member is always reversed at the same time, one reversing operation is always enough.
