  • the pin member 16 is formed into a hook shape, such inconvenience that the retaining member 13, which is engaged with the pin member 16, comes apart from the personal ornament main body 12 owing to the distal portion 16B of the pin member 16 directed upward when in use.
  • the pin member 16 is stored in the pin member storage 18 of the retaining member 13, safety is enhanced.
  • the pin member 16 is deflected when a large force is applied from the outside, the pin member 16 can hardly come apart from the inside of the pin member storage 18 owing to its resiliently restoring force.
  • the antiskid member including serrated projection 19 of resilient material such as hard rubber or soft plastic on the surface of the retaining member 13, and bringing at least part of the surface into abutment with the back surface of the base member 4 of the personal ornament main body 12 via the target T, the personal ornament 11 can reliably be locked with respect to the target T, and possibility of damaging the target T at the abutment section may be reduced.
  • the invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be variously modified as needed.
  • the pin member is pierced into the target with the pin member directed upward.
  • the mechanism for locking the pin for the personal ornament can achieve such effects that the personal ornament can be locked with respect to the target safely and reliably, and that possibility to damage the target T may be reduced.
  • the antiskid member in addition to the projections formed of resilient material as described above, it may be formed by coating a rubber film which has a high frictional coefficient.
  • the mechanism for locking the pin for the personal ornament according to the present invention is a technology that can be applied to piercing jewelries.
  • the pin member of the piercing jewelry may be machined for easier wearing and safety so that the connecting portion between the base portion 16A and the distal portion 16B is curved into an arcuate shape as shown in Fig. 12.
  • the personal ornament 11 shown in Fig. 13 is an embodiment in which the retaining member 13 is different.
  • the retaining member 13 includes a groove 17 opening to the surface of the retaining member opposing to the personal ornament main body 12 and opened at the bottom for allowing the base portion of the pin member 16 to be retained by the side surface and the upper surface, and a pin member storage 18 formed in the direction intersecting with respect to the groove 17.
  • the groove 17 does not have the groove portion which can fit the distal portion 16B of the pin member 16 so as to be capable of moving in the fore-and-aft direction in the embodiment shown in Fig. 6, and only has a groove structure in which the proximal portion 16A can be retained when pin member 16 is attached.
  • the size of the retaining member 13 may be about half the same in the embodiment shown in Fig. 6.
  • the retaining member 13 shown in Fig. 14 has a tapered groove 17a which is widened downward formed at the bottom of the groove 17 of the retaining member 13 in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 so as to continue therefrom.
  • the proximal portion 16A can be easily inserted into the groove 17 of the retaining member 13 by the tapered groove 17a (see Fig. 14(b)).
  • the structure in which the groove 17 is provided on the retaining member 13 is shown.
  • the invention also includes a structure in which the groove 17 is not provided, and only the pin member storage 18 is provided.
  • the pin member 16 of the personal ornament main body 12 is inclined so that the distal portion 16B gradually approaches the base member 14 as it approaches the upper end, while the pin member storage 18 of the retaining member 13 is disposed so that the bore is oriented upright (see Fig. 15(b)).
  • the distal portion 16B of the pin member 16 when storing the distal portion 16B of the pin member 16 in the pin member storage 18, the distal portion of the pin member 16 is inserted into the pin member storage 18 while being bent in the upright direction against the resilient force thereof. Therefore, the personal ornament main body 12 is urged toward the retaining member 13 by the resiliently restoring force of the pin member 16 and retained.
  • the structures of the pin member 16 and the pin member storage 18 for locking the same by its resiliency may be applied to all other embodiments of the invention, and hence it may be the case in which the groove 17 is formed on the retaining member 13.
  • the pin member 16 and the pin member storage 18 must simply be configured in such a manner that the pin member 16 can be inserted into the pin member storage 18 while bending the distal portion 16B, and hence the invention is not limited to the combination shown in the above-described embodiments, and what is necessary is just to differentiate the extending angles of the distal portion 16B and that of the pin member storage 18 so that a resilient force acts when the distal portion 16B is inserted into the pin member storage 18.
