Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a clip-on earring with adjustable pressure on ear lobe, which is clamped between two opposed, mutually pivoted clamping members.
  • the clip-on earring is maintained on the ear by friction, and since the friction depends on the pressure exercised on the ear lobe, it is suitable that this pressure is sufficiently high to not risk that the earring is released and gets lost.
  • An optimal pressure exists that is obtained through the adjustment of a distance between the two clamping members. Therefore, a clip-on earring has to be subjected normally, after being purchased, to its subsequent working in order to adjust the distance between the two opposed clamping members.
  • US Patent No. 4,796,443 discloses a spring device for earring which comprises a back support element having, pivotally attached thereto, a front ear clamping member.
  • a back ear lobe clamping member is carried by the back support element in an adjustable way both vertically and horizontally by means of a screw action.
  • a main object of the present invention is to allow a clip-on earring wearer to be able to adjust personally a desired pressure on the own ear lobe.
  • Another important object of the present invention is to prevent the chosen adjustment from changing with the passing of time, with the risk of losing the earring.
  • Another important object of the present invention is to operate on the features of the contact surfaces of the clamping members with respect to the friction, besides on the distance between them.
  • a clip-on earring with adjustable pressure on ear lobe comprises a front clamping member 1 and a rear clamping member 2 being pivoted the one to the other in order to be kept attached to an ear lobe (not shown) with a set pressure, after the two clamping members are positioned at a determined mutual distance.
  • the front and rear clamping members 1, 2 are conventionally biased for being mutually approached to and removed from each other by a spring.
  • the spring preferably a leaf spring 9 is placed in such a way that a snap is created between a position in which the earring is attached to the ear lobe and a position in which the earring is released therefrom. This operation is known and then it is not described in greater detail.
  • the rear clamping member 2 i.e. forming the clip, carries pivotally, where the clamping action with the ear lobe is performed, a contact part 3 having a face 4 with greater convexity and a face 5 with less convexity, the one with respect to the other.
  • the contact part 3 is pivotally mounted on the rear clamping member 2 about a vertical axis denoted as y.
  • the rotation axis y is embodied by a couple of opposite pins (not shown) both being rigidly connected to the contact part 3 and rotatable in seats (also not shown), which are formed in an annular portion 7 of the clamping member 2 concentrically to the vertical axis y.
  • the annular portion 7 encloses an elliptic cavity in which the contact part 3 is housed.
  • the contact portion could be mounted pivotally on the rear clamping member 2 about a horizontal axis.
  • the faces 4 and 5 have grooved surfaces.
  • these grooved surfaces are obtained by grooves having parallel horizontal axes and being generally indicated at 6 in Figures 1 and 2 .
  • a grip projection 8 for fingers is provided to rotate clockwise the contact part 3 about its axis y by 180 degrees, according to a curved arrow F in Figure 1 , and then in the opposite direction. Obviously, this 180 degrees rotation must be performed only if the pressure being exercised on the ear lobe by the front and rear clamping members 1 and 2 has to be adjusted.
  • a through hole (non shown) for a pin can be provided in the contact part 3 and the pin itself (also non shown), in case the earring is of the type for pierced ear lobe.
