ABSTRACT:
A hair clip for gripping strands of a woman's hair arranged in a desired coiffure includes upper and lower tapered jaw pieces having front portions which curve arcuately downwards in a manner suggestive of the jaw parts of a flamingo's bill. The rear portions of the jaw pieces are joined by a transversely disposed pivot pin which permits relative motion of the upper and lower jaw pieces in a vertical plane. A coil spring encircling the pivot pin urges apart the rear portions of the upper and lower jaw pieces, thereby urging the front arcuately downwardly curved portions of the jaw pieces into compressive clamping contact. Preferably, the front portion of the lower jaw piece is shorter and more curved than the front portion of the upper jaw piece, and is received in a longitudinally disposed channel formed in the lower surface of upper jaw piece.
