As described above, the wall thickness at the distal end portion of the cylindrical body is smaller than the wall thickness at the base portion. Therefore, the distal end portion of the cylindrical body is formed slightly softer than the base portion.

In the above-described embodiment, the cylindrical body is formed so as to have a taper that is continuously tapered from the base portion to the tip portion. However, a plurality of gradually changing tapers may be provided from the base portion to the tip portion.

The flange 6 has an outer diameter of 3.
0 mm and the thickness are set to 0.45 mm.

As described above, since the hole 8 of the cylinder and the outer periphery of the body 4 are formed in the above-mentioned tapered shape, the cylinder 1 is inserted into the perforation 3 such as an earlobe or the cylinder of the piercing body 9. 1
Insertion into the hole is made very smooth, and the cylinder can be firmly held in the bore and the piercing body can be firmly held by the self-holding force of the cylinder. Moreover, such a tapered setting of the cylinder increases the allowable range of dimension setting between the outer diameter of the body and the inner diameter of the perforation, or between the inner diameter of the hole of the cylinder and the outer diameter of the piercing body, There is an effect that strict dimension setting is not required.

Of course, the piercing body 9 is not in contact with the earlobe 2 or the like by the cylindrical body 1. Therefore, even if the person is allergic to metal, there is no effect of the piercing body.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cylinder 1 is fastened to an earlobe 2 by a fastener 10. This fastener is the main body 11
And a through hole 12 formed in the main body.

The tip of the body 4 of the cylinder 1 is inserted into the through hole 12 of the fastener.

The front opening 13 of the through hole is formed in a receiving portion having an enlarged inner diameter so that the body 4 of the cylindrical body can be easily inserted. The through hole 12 has an engaging portion 14 which is locked to the body 4 of the cylindrical body 1. The engaging portion communicates with the receiving portion, and in one embodiment, is formed of a cylindrical hole (see FIG. 7).

As shown in FIG. 1, the body 4 of the tubular body 1 is smoothly inserted into the through hole of the fastener from the receiving portion thereof, and is firmly locked by the engaging portion 14.

As shown in FIG. 7, the main body 11 of the fastener 10 has, for example, a substantially gourd outer shape 20 in which a substantially central portion in the axial direction is narrowed. With such a shape, there is an advantage that the fastener is easy to hold when the fastener is removed from the cylindrical body.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the main body 11 of the fastener has a substantially drum-shaped outer shape 30 having a substantially central portion raised.
This also makes the fastener easier to hold.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the fastener has a generally elliptical cross-sectional profile 40, and the engaging portion 14 comprises a ring-shaped protrusion 50 formed on the inner wall of the through hole 12. .

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, the fastener has a substantially front half 61 having an outer diameter substantially rear half 62 for easy holding.
Is set to be larger than the outside diameter.

It is preferable that the above-mentioned fastener is also made of a medical resin which does not harm the human body.

In the above-mentioned piercing mounting protector, the piercing body is inserted and held in the cylinder, and the cylinder mounting the piercing body is inserted into a perforation such as an earlobe and stopped with a fastener.

With this configuration, the metal piercing does not directly touch the human body.

[0034]

According to the present invention, as described above, since the outer circumference and the hole of the cylindrical body are tapered, the cylindrical body can be inserted into a hole such as an earlobe, and the piercing body can be inserted into the cylindrical body. This has the benefit of being able to carry out very smoothly and to be able to securely hold the cylinder in the bore and the piercing body in the cylinder.
