Patent number: 10226811Abstract: The present disclosure provides a hair clip. The clip has a first leg portion and a second leg portion formed from a wire, the wire configured by bending such that the first and second leg portions are biased toward each other and at default lie in contact or at least adjacent to each other, and substantially parallel to each other, for securing hair therebetween. The wire is provided with a first coating of a paint material on an entire surface of the wire. Each of the first and second leg portions forms an outwardly facing surface and an inwardly facing surface, the first and second leg portions being provided with a second coating of an anti-slipping material only over the inwardly facing surface and on the first paint material coating such that the outwardly facing surface of the first and second leg portions is free of the anti-slipping coating.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2017Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Tung Hing Plastic Manufactory Ltd.Inventor: Ka Chuen Sze

Publication number: 20140102473Abstract: The presently disclosed embodiments, as well as features and aspects thereof, are directed towards a back pin hair fashioning device comprised of a lower prong and an upper prong joined by a hinge aspect. The lower prong may comprise a smooth length that defines a curve which approximates the curve of a user's head. The upper prong may comprise a plurality of undulations defined by a series of peaks and valleys and, overall, defines a curve that has a radius that is substantially equivalent to the radius of the curve defined by the lower prong. The overall length of the back pin hair fashioning device may be approximately 80 mm. When inserted into a user's hair, portions of the hair are captured in the spaces defined by the undulations. Advantageously, after insertion, a single back pin hair fashioning device may maintain and secure a hairstyle desired by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2013Publication date: April 17, 2014Inventor: Teresa Mosley

Patent number: 5778905Abstract: A hairpin which gives hair the appearance of greater volume and thickness by using a support member which protrudes from the side of the lower leg of the hairpin at an acute angle and which extends substantially parallel to the legs of the hairpin. Hairs being held between the legs of the hairpin are elevated by the support member to a position above the upper leg of the pin and away from the scalp, thus giving the appearance of fuller, thicker hair.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1996Date of Patent: July 14, 1998Inventor: Helen Koshaba Adam

Patent number: 5682908Abstract: A hairpin including a base plate, and a pin, wherein the base plate has a first row of longitudinally spaced pin holes and a second row of longitudinally spaced pin holes at two opposite ends, a first row of longitudinally spaced harness loops and a second row of longitudinally spaced harness loops alternatively arranged between the first row of longitudinally spaced pin holes and the second row of longitudinally spaced pin holes. In one embodiment, the pin has one rod section inserted through the first row of longitudinally spaced pin holes and second row of longitudinally spaced pin holes and one row of the first row of longitudinally spaced harness loops and second row of longitudinally spaced harness loops. In another embodiment, the pin has two parallel rod sections with one rod section inserted through the first row of longitudinally spaced harness loops and the other rod section through the second row of longitudinally spaced harness loops.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 1996Date of Patent: November 4, 1997Inventor: Kuo-Hua Chou
