ABSTRACT:
An improved structure hairclip comprising an elongate and arcuate upper piece and lower piece. A pair of pivots disposed on the left end of the lower piece are engaged with a pair of pivot holes disposed on the corresponding end of the upper piece. A locking mechanism, disposed on the opposite end of the upper piece, has a pair of L-shaped wipers with three pairs of locking recesses formed thereon. The L-shaped wipers of the locking mechanism can releasable engage a hasp formed on the right end of the lower piece, to lock the upper piece to the lower piece in any of three relative positions. Two holder bars extend along the midsection of the lower piece, between the pivots and the hasp, on the upper and lower edges thereof. A central bar is disposed above the main body of the lower piece, over a space dividing the two holder bars. An alternating sequence of concave and convex dimples is formed in a row along the length of the two holder bars, with one sequence beginning with a convex dimple on one holder bar, and the other sequence beginning with a concave dimple on the other holder bar. A plurality of pins arranged in two parallel but staggered rows protrude from the lower surface of the upper piece. Each pin has a rounded head on its lower end. Hair strands are tightly clamped between the rounded heads of the pins and the concave dimples formed on the two holder bars. This serves to prevent the hairclip from sliding.
