DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0021] A preferred embodiment of the hair claw clip in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 10 includes at least a first body 1, a second body 2, an automatic opening device 3 and at least four sets of snap-fit structures 4 as main components combined together.

[0022] Said first body 1 is provided with a plurality of first ribs 10 at one end and a plurality of first rotating shaft brackets 11 at the other end. Each spacing space formed between the adjacent first ribs 10 is greater than the width of each second rib 20 of the second body 2, and each spacing space formed between the adjacent first rotating shaft brackets 11 is larger than the width of each second rotating shaft bracket 21 of the second body 2. In this way, the spacing spaces formed by the adjacent first ribs 10 and the adjacent first rotating shaft brackets 11 can be used as the moving spaces of the second ribs 20 and the second rotating shaft brackets 21 of the second clip 2, respectively; and the first body 1 and the second body 2 can be moved in the opposite direction.

[0023] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 10, said first body 1 may be provided with a first hollow portion 12, the first hollow portion 12 may be formed by a large hole or a plurality of small holes. In this way, the material cost of the first body 1 can be saved, the adhesion between the hair claw clip and the hair can be improved (Using the first hollow portion 12 to accommodate the squeezed hair to prevent the hair claw clip from slipping off the hair), the hair claw clip can becomes better for the user to hold, and the visual beauty of the hair claw clip can be increased. Said first body 1 may be provided with a first anti-slip member 13 on the outer surface of the first body 1 to increase the anti-slip effect of the hair claw clip. Said first anti-slip member 13 may be a plurality of lateral grooves (as shown in FIGS. 7 to 10), a plurality of protruding pieces, an anti-slip sheet or various anti-slip structures.

[0024] Said second body 2 is provided with a plurality of second ribs 20 at one end and a plurality of second rotating shaft brackets 21 at the other end. Each spacing space formed between the adjacent second ribs 20 is greater than the width of each first rib 10 of the first body 1, and each spacing space formed between the adjacent second rotating shaft brackets 21 is larger than the width of each first rotating shaft bracket 11 of the first body 1. In this way, the spacing spaces formed by the adjacent second ribs 20 and the adjacent second rotating shaft brackets 21 can be used as the moving spaces of the first ribs 10 and the first rotating shaft brackets 11 of the first clip 1, respectively; and the first body 1 and the second body 2 can be moved in the opposite direction.

[0025] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 10, said second body 2 may be provided with a second hollow portion 22, the second hollow portion 22 may be formed by a large hole or a plurality of small holes. In this way, the material cost of the second body 2 can be saved, the adhesion between the hair claw clip and the hair can be improved (Using the second hollow portion 22 to accommodate the squeezed hair to prevent the hair claw clip from slipping off the hair), the hair claw clip can becomes better for the user to hold, and the visual beauty of the hair claw clip can be increased. Said second body 2 may be provided with a second anti-slip member 23 on the outer surface of the second body 2 to increase the anti-slip effect of the hair claw clip. Said second anti-slip member 23 may be a plurality of lateral grooves (as shown in FIGS. 7 to 10), a plurality of protruding pieces, an anti-slip sheet or various anti-slip structures.

[0026] Said automatic opening device 3 is arranged between said first rotating shaft brackets 11 of the first body 1 and said second rotating shaft brackets 21 of the second body 2. Said automatic opening device 3 is provided with a pivot 30, the first shaft brackets 11 of the first clip 1 and the second shaft brackets 21 of the second clip 2 are staggered with each other, and the first shaft brackets 11 and the second shaft brackets 21 are pivotally connected by said pivot 30. In this way, when the first body 1 and the second body 2 are in the clamping action, said first ribs 10 and second ribs 20 are interlaced with each other, and the spacing spaces respectively formed by the adjacent first ribs 10, second ribs 20, first rotating shaft brackets 11 and the second rotating shaft brackets 21 allows the first body 1 and the second body 2 to move laterally opposite to each other on the pivot 30.

[0027] At least one first elastic member 31 (such as a spring) is mounted between the adjacent first rotating shaft bracket 11 and the second rotating shaft bracket 21, so that an elastic support force can be generated between the adjacent first rotating shaft bracket 11 and the second rotating shaft bracket 21 to maintain the relative position of the first body 1 and the second body 2. Said pivot 30 is provided with a second elastic member 32 (such as a torsion spring), the two sides of the second elastic member 32 respectively against the inner side of said first body 1 and the inner side of said second body 2. In this way, the elastic force generated from the second elastic member 32 can be used to automatic spread out the hair claw clip and keep the hair claw clip in the opening state.

[0028] Said snap-fit structures 4 are respectively arranged on the adjacent positions of the corresponding first rib 10 and the second rib 20. Said snap-fit structures 4 is provided with a one-way tooth row 40 and a locking projection 41 which are respectively arranged on the adjacent positions of the corresponding first rib 10 and the second rib 20. In this way, when the first body 1 and the second body 2 are in the clamping action, each of the corresponding one-way tooth rows 40 and the locking projection 41 will lock to each other to maintain the clamping force of the hair claw clip. By inventor actual test, when the one-way tooth row 40 and the locking protrusion 41 of the adjacent snap-fit structures 4 are arranged in opposite directions (as shown in FIGS. 1 to 10), the clamping force of the hair claw clip is the most average, and can effectively prevent the hair claw clip from being opened by the pressure of the hair.

[0029] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the user uses the hair claw clip of the present invention, she only needs to hold the hair claw clip, then put her hair inside the hair claw clip and press the hair claw clip hard, the one-way tooth row 40 and the locking protrusion 41 of each the snap-fit structures 4 are mutually buckled and positioned, so that the hair claw clip can firmly held the hair. As shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, when the user presses the first rotating shaft bracket 11 and the second rotating shaft bracket 21 at both ends of the hair claw clip, the first elastic member 31 of the automatic opening device 3 is compressed, the first body 1 and the second body 2 generate reverse lateral movement, the one-way tooth row 40 and the locking protrusion 41 of each snap-fit structures 4 are separated from each other (as shown in FIG. 8); at this time, the second elastic member 32 of the automatic opening device 3 will automatically open the first body 1 and the second body 2 of the hair claw clip, so that the hair claw clip is restored to the open state. Therefore, the present invention can reliably solve the problem that the prior hair claw clip with short service life, easy to slip off the hair, not easy to be held by user, etc. Evidently this invention has tangible benefits and tallies with progressiveness and novelty demanded by patent laws.

[0030] While the preferred embodiments of this invention have been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
