Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2420278A] A clip 10 for attachment to the head of a wearer comprising a longitudinal member 25, a securing member 27 that extends from a first end of the longitudinal member and pivotable respect to the longitudinal member. The securing member has a hair securing portion 22 for receiving the hair and a paddle 24 for the user to grip the device. Attached to the other end of the longitudinal member is a receiving means in the form of a pocket 42 which is adapted for receiving the paddle member 60 once the securing member is bent at hinge 21 towards the longitudinal member 25. In use the hair of a user is passed through the securing portion 22 and the clip rotated so as to wind the hair around the securing member, then the longitudinal member is folded about hinge 21, the paddle received in the receiving means 42 and both of these folded backwards about hinge 23 (See Fig.3E). The longitudinal member 25 can be covered with a tape (30, 33, Figs 1B-E) and this can carry a hair weft (28, Fig.1B) or decorative elements (See Figs. 2C, 2D). Another embodiment is made with flattened wires, incorporating a double hinge (66, 68, Fig.4) and member 27 is replaced by a flat member (27', Fig.4) covered with an elastomeric sleeve (74, Fig.4), where hair is rolled around. Figs.4-5 show the construction and use of closure clip 140 through which false hair is threaded, for using in combination with the clips 10 of the invention.
