ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a spring shaped hair fashion accessory for holding hair with dressing up hair decoratively.
2. Description of Related Art
As hair fashion accessories, for example, there is a coil shaped hair fashion accessory
10
shown in FIG.
5
. The hair fashion accessory
10
comprises a coil spring formed of a stainless made wire material
11
as illustrated in FIG.
5
. Hair is caught in spaces between winds of the coil-spring wire material
11
to fasten the hair fashion accessory.
As illustrated in
FIG. 6
, the hair fashion accessory
10
curves when receiving a force orthogonal to the axis of the coil spring, or a force F in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG.
5
. At this time, the ring of wire material
11
on the constriction side
10
a
shifts in the axial direction to bend the cylindrical column of the coil spring. This allows an extending side
10
b
to increase spaces between winds of the coiled wire material
11
.
These opened-up spaces formed in the wire material
11
release the clamping hair, to remove the hair fashion accessory
10
from the hair.
If hair swings while the hair fashion accessory
10
actually is holding the hair, then the hair fashion accessory
10
receives forces in various directions, including the force F in the direction of bending the coil spring. The force F may easily remove the hair fashion accessory
10
from the hair.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It therefore is an object of the present invention to provide a hair fashion accessory that does not come easily apart from hair once it holds the hair.
The present invention has a feature for a hair fashion accessory which comprises a coil spring made of a wire material for a spring to catch hair in spaces between winds of the wire material for holding the hair, in that the coil spring is formed in a polygonal column with helical side edges.
According to the present invention, the coil shaped hair fashion accessory for holding hair is adapted to be removed easily from the hair.
The hair fashion accessory enhances the effect of ornamenting with a stylish appearance, which is not produced by a typical coil spring.
