Cosmetic clip lot

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cosmetic clip rod for use not only as a rod for curling and fixing hair, but also for fixing hair wound on a heating rod to preventing evaporation of moisture from hair and damage to the scalp from heat. A cosmetic clip rod according to the present invention includes a cylindrical body having a space within in which another rod wound with hair can be disposed, and an outer surface for winding hair on; where the cylindrical body includes a first band portion having a semicircular cross sectional shape, and a second band portion having a semicircular cross sectional shape symmetrical to the first band portion and connected to the first band portion to open or close, for enclosing hair wound on another rod.

         6 . The cosmetic clip rod of  claim 5 , wherein the other end of the first band portion and the other end of the second band portion further comprise sloped surfaces formed on an inner surface and an outer surface closest to the recesses, to prevent occurrence of press marks on hair when passed out through the slot. 
     
     
         7 . The cosmetic clip rod of  claim 4 , wherein the first band portion and the second band portion further comprise a plurality of protrusions formed on inner surfaces thereof, and wherein the elastic member is formed of a plate spring having bent portions, and the first band portion and the second band portion further comprise coupling holes for inserting the bent portions of the plate spring. 
     
     
         8 . (canceled) 
     
     
         9 . The cosmetic clip rod of  claim 7 , wherein the first band portion and the second band portion further comprise receiving slots defined in outer surfaces thereof, to prevent the plate spring from protruding. 
     
     
         10 . The cosmetic clip rod of  claim 4 , wherein the cylindrical body is formed in a shape of a peaked hat with a gradually increasing diameter along a lengthwise direction thereof, and wherein the connecting portion is formed of a flexible joint or a hinge. 
     
     
         11 . (canceled) 
     
     
         12 . The cosmetic clip rod of  claim 4 , wherein the cylindrical body comprises edge portions at either end along a lengthwise direction thereof to which the elastic member couples, and a central portion therebetween to wind hair around an outer surface thereof. 
     
     
         13 . The cosmetic clip rod of  claim 12 , wherein the edge portions and the central portion are formed stepped. 
     
     
         14 . The cosmetic clip rod of  claim 4 , wherein the first band portion and the second band portion further comprise moisture discharging holes to discharge moisture; and anti-slip recesses formed in outer surfaces thereof to prevent slipping of hair. 
     
     
         15 . An elastic cosmetic rod comprising:
 a body rolled in a cylindrical shape to prevent evaporation of moisture from hair, and comprising a first free end and a second free end on either end thereof, the first and second free ends resiliently opening outward through application of an external physical force or elastically returning to original positions thereof, to enclose another rod wound with hair.   
     
     
         16 . The elastic cosmetic rod of  claim 15 , wherein the body comprises:
