Hair barrette

Abstract

A hair barrette includes a decorative outer member, a basic member secured onto the outer member and having a recess formed in one side and defined by an inner peripheral shoulder, an anti-slip member made of a resilient material having a high coefficient of friction and engaged into the recess of the basic member and engaged with the inner peripheral shoulder of the basic member for stably securing the anti-slip member to the basic member and for preventing the anti-slip member from being disengaged from the basic member. A clamping arm has one end pivotally attached to the basic member and the other end for resiliently latching to the basic member.

1 . A hair barrette comprising:
 a decorative outer member,   a basic member secured onto said outer member and including a recess formed in one side thereof and defined by an inner peripheral shoulder,   an anti-slip member made of a resilient material having a high coefficient of friction, and engaged into said recess of said basic member, and engaged with said inner peripheral shoulder of said basic member, and   a clamping arm including a first end pivotally attached to a first end of said basic member with a pivot axle, and a second end for selectively latching to a second end of said basic member, for clamping hair of user between said anti-slip member and said clamping arm.   
   
   
       2 . The hair barrette as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said basic member includes a pair of arms extended from said first end of said basic member and each having an orifice formed therein for receiving said pivot axle of said clamping arm. 
   
   
       3 . The hair barrette as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said clamping arm includes a flap bent and formed in said first end of said clamping arm for engaging with said basic member and for limiting said clamping arm to rotate relative to said basic member and for preventing said clamping arm from being over rotated relative to said basic member. 
   
   
       4 . The hair barrette as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said pivot axle is extended from said flap of said clamping arm. 
   
   
       5 . The hair barrette as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said basic member includes a pair of ears extended from said second end of said basic member and each having a finger for engaging with said second end of said clamping arm and for latching said second end of said clamping arm to said second end of said basic member. 
   
   
       6 . The hair barrette as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said basic member includes at least one tooth formed in each of said fingers of said ears, and said clamping arm includes an opening formed in said second end of said clamping arm and defined by at least one flange for engaging with said at least one tooth of said basic member.
