Abstract:
An improved hair clip structure, comprising:a base plate, each of the two sides of the base plate further comprising a corresponding pressing plate which has an inwardly extended and corresponding latching hook, and the other end of the two sides having a corresponding coupling plate which has a coupling hole and a sliding groove; an upper clipping plate, being disposed on the base plate, and an end on both sides of the upper clipping plate has an outwardly extended and corresponding axial section which exactly passes through the coupling hole, such that the upper clipping plate and the base plate are pivotally coupled, and the other end has a latching hole and a first latching member is disposed next to the latching hole; an elastic middle bracket, being clipped between the base plate and the upper clipping plate, having a sliding axis at an end on both sides of the elastic middle bracket, and the sliding axis is exactly embedded into the sliding groove of the base plate, so that the sliding axis can move properly in the sliding groove, and an outwardly extended arc-shaped elastic section is disposed at the end of the elastic middle bracket next to the sliding axis; when the hair clip is in use, the elastic middle bracket is kept at the highest position of the sliding groove by means of the elasticity of the arc-shaped elastic section, and the other end is coupled with the upper clipping plate by embedding, and a latching hole is disposed on the elastic middle bracket at an end proximate to where the elastic middle bracket and the upper clipping plate are coupled, and such latching hole is not in the same plane with that of the latching hole on the upper clipping plate, and such latching hole has a first latching member that works together with a second latching member; wherein the structure composed of the foregoing elements makes the elastic middle bracket to stay in position by means of the first latching member and the second latching member when the upper clipping plate and the base plate are clipped, and attains the purpose of clipping the hair securely and prevents the hair from being fallen off and separated when the upper clipping plate and the elastic middle bracket are clipped.
