- the present invention relates to a crab clip for hair, having two jaws grasping the hair, the jaws being fixed on a flexible blade, said blade forming a base for the jaws and representing the main decorative element of the clip.
- Crab tongs are well known in the state of the art. They generally consist of two jaws in the form of curved comb connected by a spring that is usually tried to camouflage for aesthetic reasons.
- the present invention takes the opposite of the philosophy of camouflage springs and no longer considers it as a necessary evil but as the main decorative element of the clamp by fixing an elastic base on all of the bearing surfaces of the jaws , making this element fully visible once the clip is fixed in the hair.
- the present invention aims to provide a crab clip for hair, having two jaws, the jaws being fixed on a flexible blade forming a base for the jaws, the flexible blade representing the main decorative element of the clamp.
- the present invention discloses a hair crab clip comprising two jaws with support means and a flexible blade, the means for supporting the jaws being fixed on the flexible blade, the flexible blade forming, at the same time, the base for fixing the support means for rotating the jaws about an axis and the spring to create a force of recall when opening the clamp.
- the present invention discloses a crab clip for hair, where the traditional hinge connecting the two clamps is replaced by a sufficiently flexible blade, the blade forming a base on which are fixed the two jaws by means of support means.
- the flexible blade 3 also represents the main decorative element of the clamp 1. This is illustrated in the figures.
- the flexible blade 3 covers substantially the entire surface of the support means 5 of the jaws 2, namely at least 80%, preferably at least 90% of the surface, and thus forms a base or a support on which these jaws are fixed. and becomes a decorative part of the crab clip that we no longer try to camouflage but rather to highlight. Nevertheless, the flexible blade may even have a surface much greater than that of the support means 5 of the jaws 2 as illustrated in FIG. figure 3 .
- the flexible blade is made of stainless steel whose bending will give the expected spring effect.
- the folding of the blade will form two contiguous planes which will form an angle between 160 ° and 60 °, preferably between 140 ° and 80 ° and particularly preferably between 120 ° and 90 ° when the clamp is completely closed.
- the folding of the flexible blade will allow the jaws to rotate about an axis 4, it can be virtual.
- the two contiguous planes of the flexible blade 3 may be perforated and have different shapes closed or open (openwork) such as, for example, right triangles, diamonds, ellipses or disks.
- the crab clip 1 of the present invention is therefore free of helical or ring-shaped springs.
- a flexible blade 3 forming a base for the jaws is fixed on the support means 5 of the jaws 2. It comprises a pivot axis 4 but no hinge connected to the jaws 2.

Description
La présente invention se rapporte à une pince crabe pour cheveux, comportant deux mâchoires saisissant les cheveux, les mâchoires étant fixées sur une lame flexible, ladite lame formant un socle pour les mâchoires et représentant le principal élément décoratif de la pince.The present invention relates to a crab clip for hair, having two jaws grasping the hair, the jaws being fixed on a flexible blade, said blade forming a base for the jaws and representing the main decorative element of the clip.
Les pinces crabes sont bien connues de l'état de la technique. Elles sont généralement constituées de deux mâchoires en forme de peigne recourbé reliées par un ressort que l'on tente généralement de camoufler pour des raisons esthétiques.Crab tongs are well known in the state of the art. They generally consist of two jaws in the form of curved comb connected by a spring that is usually tried to camouflage for aesthetic reasons.
Les documents
La présente invention prend le contrepied de la philosophie de camouflage des ressorts et ne considère plus celui-ci comme un mal nécessaire mais comme l'élément décoratif principal de la pince en fixant un socle élastique sur l'ensemble des surfaces d'appui des mâchoires, rendant cet élément entièrement visible une fois la pince fixée dans les cheveux.The present invention takes the opposite of the philosophy of camouflage springs and no longer considers it as a necessary evil but as the main decorative element of the clamp by fixing an elastic base on all of the bearing surfaces of the jaws , making this element fully visible once the clip is fixed in the hair.
La présente invention vise à fournir une pince crabe pour cheveux, comportant deux mâchoires, les mâchoires étant fixées sur une lame flexible formant un socle pour les mâchoires, la lame flexible représentant le principal élément décoratif de la pince.The present invention aims to provide a crab clip for hair, having two jaws, the jaws being fixed on a flexible blade forming a base for the jaws, the flexible blade representing the main decorative element of the clamp.
La présente invention divulgue une pince crabe pour cheveux comportant deux mâchoires avec des moyens d'appui et une lame flexible, les moyens d'appui des mâchoires étant fixés sur la lame flexible, la lame flexible formant, à la fois, le socle de fixation des moyens d'appui permettant de faire pivoter les mâchoires autour d'un axe et le ressort pour créer une force de rappel lors de l'ouverture de la pince.The present invention discloses a hair crab clip comprising two jaws with support means and a flexible blade, the means for supporting the jaws being fixed on the flexible blade, the flexible blade forming, at the same time, the base for fixing the support means for rotating the jaws about an axis and the spring to create a force of recall when opening the clamp.

La présente invention divulgue une pince crabe pour cheveux, où la traditionnelle charnière reliant les deux pinces est remplacée par une lame suffisamment flexible, la lame formant un socle sur lequel sont fixées les deux mâchoires par l'intermédiaire de moyens d'appui. La lame flexible 3 représente d'ailleurs le principal élément décoratif de la pince 1. Ceci est illustré dans les figures.The present invention discloses a crab clip for hair, where the traditional hinge connecting the two clamps is replaced by a sufficiently flexible blade, the blade forming a base on which are fixed the two jaws by means of support means. The
De nombreux matériaux élastiques peuvent convenir pour former la lame flexible 3 de la pince crabe 1 selon l'invention, comme certains matériaux composites par exemple, mais la préférence est donnée à l'acier inoxydable permettant une série de décorations possibles comme des gravures, des vernis de couleurs différentes, etc. La
La lame flexible 3 recouvre substantiellement toute la surface des moyens d'appui 5 des mâchoires 2, à savoir au moins 80 %, de préférence au moins 90 % de la surface, et forme ainsi un socle ou un support sur lequel sont fixées ces mâchoires et devient une partie décorative de la pince crabe que l'on ne tente plus de camoufler mais plutôt de mettre en valeur. Néanmoins, la lame flexible peut même avoir une surface bien supérieure à celle des moyens d'appui 5 des mâchoires 2 comme illustré à la
Selon un mode préféré de l'invention, la lame flexible est constituée d'acier inoxydable dont le pliage donnera l'effet ressort escompté. Le pliage de la lame va former deux plans contigus qui formeront un angle entre 160° et 60°, de préférence entre 140° et 80°et de manière particulièrement préférée entre 120° et 90° lorsque la pince sera complètement fermée. Le pliage de la lame flexible va permettre aux mâchoires de pivoter autour d'un axe 4, celui-ci pouvant être virtuel.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the flexible blade is made of stainless steel whose bending will give the expected spring effect. The folding of the blade will form two contiguous planes which will form an angle between 160 ° and 60 °, preferably between 140 ° and 80 ° and particularly preferably between 120 ° and 90 ° when the clamp is completely closed. The folding of the flexible blade will allow the jaws to rotate about an
Les deux plans contigus de la lame flexible 3 peuvent être ajourés et avoir différentes formes fermées ou ouvertes (ajourées) comme par exemple des triangles rectangles, losanges, ellipses ou disques.The two contiguous planes of the
La pince crabe 1 de la présente invention est donc exempte de ressorts hélicoïdaux ou en forme d'anneaux. Pour assurer le pivotement des deux mâchoires 2 seule une lame flexible 3 formant un socle pour les mâchoires est fixée sur les moyens d'appui 5 des mâchoires 2. Elle comporte un axe de pivotement 4 mais aucune charnière reliée aux mâchoires 2.The
