Abstract: An 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.

Abstract: An improved structure hairclip comprising an elongate and arcuate upper piece and lower piece. A pair of pivots disposed on the left end of the lower piece are engaged with a pair of pivot holes disposed on the corresponding end of the upper piece. A locking mechanism, disposed on the opposite end of the upper piece, has a pair of L-shaped wipers with three pairs of locking recesses formed thereon. The L-shaped wipers of the locking mechanism can releasable engage a hasp formed on the right end of the lower piece, to lock the upper piece to the lower piece in any of three relative positions. Two holder bars extend along the midsection of the lower piece, between the pivots and the hasp, on the upper and lower edges thereof. A central bar is disposed above the main body of the lower piece, over a space dividing the two holder bars.
