Wig clip assembly

Abstract

A wig base is provided with one or more wig clip assemblies, each comprising two or more wig clips. Each of the wig clips comprises a set of comb teeth movable by a toggle action alternatively toward and away from a connecting part for gripping a lock of a wearer's natural hair. The wig clips of each wig clip assembly are connected by a connecting member and preferably rotatable relative to the connecting member. The connecting of the two wig clips to each other helps to ensure that the a given wig clip remains in place even if it becomes fully or partially disengaged from the wearer's natural hair. Rotation of the wig clips relative to the connecting member ensures that the connection does not interfere with the wearer's comfort.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A wig clip assembly comprising first and second wig clips each wig clip having an elongated part and a set of comb teeth movable toward and away from said elongated part, said wig clips being connected to each other by an elongated connecting strip. 
     
     
         2 . A wig clip assembly comprising:
 first and second frames, each frame comprising first and second elongated parts each having first and second opposite ends, a first connecting part connecting the first end of the first elongated part to a first end of the second elongated part, and a second connecting part connecting the second end of the first elongated part to a second end of the second elongated part;   a set of comb teeth extending from the first elongated part, and past the second elongated part, of each frame, said set of comb teeth disposed between the connecting parts of each of said first and second frames, part from said first elongated part; and   a connecting member secured to each of said first and second frames, and extending from the first of said frames to the second of said frames.   
     
     
         3 . A wig clip assembly according to  claim 2 , in which said connecting member is secured to said first and second frames by a pair of fasteners, said fasteners allowing relative rotation of each of said frames relative to said connecting member. 
     
     
         4 . A wig clip assembly according to  claim 2 , in which said connecting member is secured to said first and second frames by a pair of rivets, said rivets allowing relative rotation of each of said frames relative to said connecting member. 
     
     
         5 . A wig clip assembly according to  claim 2 , in which said connecting member is secured to said first and second frames by a pair of fasteners, each of said fasteners being located at one of said first and second opposite ends of the first elongated part of each of said frames. 
     
     
         6 . A wig clip assembly according to  claim 2 , in which said connecting member is secured to said first and second frames by a pair of rivets, each of said rivets being located at one of said first and second opposite ends of the first elongated part of each of said frames. 
     
     
         7 . A wig clip assembly according to  claim 2 , in which said connecting member is secured to said first and second frames by a pair of fasteners, each of said fasteners being located at one of said first and second opposite ends of the first elongated part of each of said frames, said fasteners allowing relative rotation of each of said frames relative to said connecting member. 
     
     
         8 . A wig clip assembly according to  claim 2 , in which said connecting member is secured to said first and second frames by a pair of rivets, each of said rivets being located at one of said first and second opposite ends of the first elongated part of each of said frames said rivets allowing relative rotation of each of said frames relative to said connecting member. It is also possible to produce a wig clip assembly composed of more than two wig clips connected to one another by connecting members. for example a wig clip assembly in accordance with the invention can be composed of three wig clips and two connecting members.
