Hair Clip with Hidden Spring

Abstract

The present invention relates to a hair clip with a hidden spring. The hair clip includes two clamp bodies pivotally joined by a shaft rod. A spring is mounted around the shaft rod to bias two claw clamp portions of the two clamp bodies into a closed position for clipping hair of a user. The spring is hidden inside a connecting base formed on one of the clamp bodies, and therefore the hair clip appearance and safety in use is improved.

1 . A hair clip with a hidden spring comprising:
 a first clamp body including a pressing portion and a claw clamp portion extending outwards from the pressing portion of the first clamp body, with the first clamp body further including a connecting base disposed on and protruding from an inner surface of the first clamp body, with the connecting base including a laterally disposed through-hole, with a positioning groove formed in an inner end of the connecting base and in communication with the through-hole of the connecting base, with a first abutment portion disposed at a side of the connecting base adjacent to the claw clamp portion of the first clamp body;   a second clamp body including a pressing portion and a claw clamp portion extending outwards from the pressing portion of the second clamp body, with the second clamp body further including an inner surface facing the inner surface of the first clamp body, with the second clamp body further including two spaced connection arm formed on the inner surface of the pressing portion of the second clamp body, with the connecting base of the first clamp body received between the two connection arms of the second clamp body, with each of the two connection arms including a shaft hole, with one of the two connection arms including a concave groove at an inner side thereof, with a second abutment portion disposed at a side of the two connection arms adjacent to the claw clamp portion of the second clamp body;   a spring disposed inside the connecting base of the first clamp body and including first and second ends, with the first and second ends of the spring extending outwards from the through-hole of the connecting base and being inserted into the positioning groove of the first clamp body and the concave groove of the second clamp body respectively; and   a shaft rod extending through the shaft holes of the second clamp body, the through-hole of the first clamp body, and the spring, with the shaft rod pivotally connecting the first clamp body and the second clamp body;   wherein the spring biases the claw clamp portions of the first and second clamp bodies into a closed position with the first abutment portion of the first clamp body abutting against the second abutment portion of the second clamp body.   
     
     
         2 . The hair clip according to  claim 1 , with an enlarged section disposed on one of the two shaft holes of the two connection arms, and with one end of the shaft rod including an enlarged head section received in the enlarged section.
