  • Patent number: 7506653
    Abstract: The hair clip comprises two combs and at least one elastic member to bias the teeth of the combs toward each other in overlapping relationship. The teeth of the combs are similar and are at least slightly wider than the spaces between the teeth. In use, the combs may be twisted relatively to each other while inserting them into engagement, such that some of the teeth of one comb overlay and others underlay the teeth of the other combs so as to clamp hair between the two combs. Preferably the teeth are oval or elliptical in cross-section, such that they interfit partially with the teeth with which they are engaged.
