  • Patent number: 8186364
    Abstract: A hair clip that opens and closes using an elastic band. The band holds the jaws in an open position (which eliminates the need for the levers) and the band also urges the jaws together to close the clip (eliminating the need for a metal spring). The clip has a length of material that is attached either across its top or around it. Because the jaws have no attached protruding levers for opening and closing them (like the ones in a traditional ‘butterfly’ clip), the length of material lays relatively smooth across the top of the clip, which not only hides the hinge and elastic band (improving the aesthetic appearance of the clip), it makes it possible to decorated the material or add a companies logo thereto.

    Abstract: A hair device used to decorate hair or to hold hair in a fixed position. The hair device of the present invention includes a cloth or other suitable wrapping material wrapped around the head with an opening sufficient through which hair may pass unobstructed with or without additional hair supports (the “Bandeau-Ni Hair Device.”) The structure of this device reduces the risk of hair slipping out of traditional hair holders and allows the user to wear helmets or other head coverings without disturbing the holding and/or placement of the hair through the opening. Further, the Bandeau-Ni Hair Device allows for a more natural play during sports and motorcycle riding while providing a decorative flare capable of maintaining the pony tail appearance.
