PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Safety Hair Pin.
I, KARL BÖSENECKER, of Munich, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Empire of
Germany, Teacher, do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as
follows:-
:―
The object of this invention is a hair pin which is so constructed as to be pre-
vented from falling out.
The safety device serving to attain this end may be provided above, below or
on the side of the bend or head of the pin and may be adapted to slide in a groove
by aid of eyelets or in a slit or in any other suitable manner. Said device consists
of a semi-circularly bent pin which can be made to penetrate peripherically into
the hair by means of suitable projections so as to form with the bent portion of the
pin a closed circle or other figure for securing the pin in the hair.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Safety Hair Pin.
I, KARL BÖSENECKER, of Munich, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Empire of
Germany, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to a device for securing hair pins and similar appliances
in the hair dress and has for its purpose to prevent the same from slipping out
thereby protecting the hair dress from being disturbed or disfigured.
====
The safety device serving for the said purpose may be provided above, below,
or on the side of the pin bend or head, or it may be arranged to be movable
in a groove.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, Figs. 1 to 8 illustrating my invention,
a is a semicircular, bent pin adapted to be passed within the periphery of a circle
into the hair. The guiding of the round pin a is effected either in a groove by
means of eyelets or in a slot as shewn in the drawing which illustrates some manners
of execution of my invention.
In Figs. 1 and 2 the wire a is guided in two bores and c of the hair pin and
passes crosswise through the head.
In Figs. 3 and 4 the wire lies on the bend of the head and is guided in two
collars d.
A similar device is provided in Figs. 5 and 6.
In Figs. 7 and 8 the hair pin consists of a little tube, in the bore of which the
wire is guided.
The improved hair pin when intended to be used, is introduced into the head
dress as represented in Figs. 5 and 7. Subsequently the round pin or wire a is
moved by its projection or projections & into the hair. To take the pin out of the
hair, the round pin is shifted back in the same peripheral way.
The improved safety contrivance excels other devices hitherto known.
1. By its very simple construction.
2. In its manner of action, as it bores itself peripherally into the hair dress
therefore describing the way of a circular line and closing in one point only.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A safety device for hair pins consisting of a circular displaceable pin or wire a,
correspondingly guided at the head of the hair pin and adapted to bore itself
peripherally into the hair, substantially as illustrated and described.
Dated this 7th day of March 1891.
