Improvements in or connected with Hair Pins or Hair Fasteners.
We, JOHN GEORGE GLOVER, of 25 West Hill, Highgate, London, and FREDERICK
JOHN BEAUMONT, of 345 Wightman Road, Hornsey, Middlesex, Engineers, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved construction of hair pin consisting in
forming a hair pin of never less than three but may be of four or more prongs
either from a single length or two or three or more separate wires twisted, looped
soldered, brazed or otherwise fastened together to form a grip or lock when inserted
into the hair. The prongs may be curved, kinked or otherwise bent to suit
varying circumstances.

Improvements in or connected with Hair Pins or Hair Fasteners.
We, JOHN GEORGE GLOVER, of 25 West Hill, Highgate, London, and FREDERICK
JOHN BEAUMONT, of 345 Wightman Road, Hornsey, Middlesex, Engineers, 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 an improved construction of Hair Pins and consists in
forming a Hair Pin of never less than three but may be of four or more prongs
either from a single length or two or three or more separate wires twisted, looped,
soldered, brazed, or otherwise fastened together to form a grip or lock when
inserted into the Hair.
The prongs may be curved, kinked, or otherwise bent to suit varying circum-
stances.
Our invention will be more particularly understood by reference to the annexed
sheet of drawings in which Figure 1 shows two ordinary Hair Pins soldered or
brazed together at the loop or how ends A which may be secured side by side as
represented, the legs B shown being in line at the points C, C.
The legs or prongs B may be plain, as at Figure 1, or wavy, as at Figure 2,
where the loops A are shown crossed so that the points C form a kind of square.

page_text: Figure 3 indicates a four pronged Hair Pin stamped from one piece of metal.
This has plain legs or prongs B, B, but these or some of them only may be wavy,
as at Figure 4.
Figure 5 shows an ordinary Hair Pin A, B, with an additional leg or prong D
looped around and secured at the bow, and the legs of such a Hair Pin may be
plain or made wavy, as at Figure 6, the points C, C, of which can be set apart like
that shown at Figure 2, or in triangular fashion as represented.
Figure 7 represents an ordinary Hair Pin with a mid leg or prong I brazed to
the bow A which is somewhat flattened on the head, said extra leg 1) being rigidly
fixed and with a projecting bulb E as a hand grip, as in the edge view Figure 8.
Figure 9 is a perspective elevation of a three pronged Hair Pin from a single
piece of metal, preferably steel, the head A being bent circularwise to put the
prongs B, B, B, into triangular fashion.
Hair Pins made with more than two legs or prongs according to this invention
are self attaching and self locking in the Hair when inserted and are not liable to
fall out while in wear.
If the end of one or more of the legs or prongs B be curved, as at F
Figures 3, 4, 6, and 8 that particular leg will enter between the others while being
inserted into the Hair and so confine the Hair somewhat rigidly, at the same time
be the means of locking the Hair Pin more securely while in wear.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is:
1. The manufacture of Hair Pins with three or more legs or prongs either by
combining a couple of ordinary Hair Pins, or by affixing an extra leg or legs to
a Hair Pin, as set forth and substantially as represented in the annexed sheet of
drawings.
2. The manufacture of Hair Pins with three or with four legs from a single
piece of metal by stamping or otherwise, as described and substantially as shown
in the accompanying sheet of drawings for the purposes specified.
