Hair clip having spring shielding device

Abstract

A hair clip includes two clamping members each having a plate and an intermediate segment coupled between two legs each of which includes one or more teeth to engage with hair of users. One of the clamping members includes a panel extended from the plate and having an opening to receive a coil spring and a shaft, another clamping member includes two ears to support the ends of the shaft. The coil spring includes two ends engaged with the clamping members to bias the legs of the clamping members toward each other. The intermediate segments of the clamping members may be formed as hand grips for being actuated by the users.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A hair clip comprising: 
 two clamping members each including two legs and an intermediate segment coupled between said legs, and an opening formed therein and defined between said legs thereof, and each including at least one tooth formed in each of said legs thereof, for engaging with hair of users,    each of said clamping members including a plate extended from said intermediate segment thereof,    a first clamping member of said clamping members including a panel extended from said plate thereof, and having an opening formed therein,    a second clamping member of said clamping members including two ears extended from said plate thereof and each having an orifice formed therein,    a coil spring received in said opening of said panel, and including two ends extended out of said opening of said panel, and including a bore formed therein, and    a pivot shaft engaged through said bore of said coil spring, and including two ends received in said orifices of said ears of said second clamping member, to pivotally secure said panel of said first clamping member to said second clamping member,    a first end of said ends of said coil spring being engaged with said plate of said first clamping member, and a second end of said ends of said coil spring being engaged with said plate of said second clamping member, to bias said legs of said clamping member toward each other, and    said intermediate segments of said clamping members being formed as hand grips for being actuated by the users.    
     
     
         2 . The hair clip as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said plate of said second clamping member includes a depression formed therein to receive said second end of said coil spring.  
     
     
         3 . The hair clip as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said first clamping member includes a seat provided beside said panel thereof, said seat includes a depression formed therein to receive said first end of said coil spring.
