Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to earrings.

0002

[Prior Art] Traditionally, earrings, so-called pierced earrings, have been worn by passing a needle as a stopper through a hole in the earlobe.
For ears and earrings, the hook is shaped like a fish hook and hooked into the hole, the tip of the needle is screwed from the back of the earlobe, or the tip of the needle is hooked to a fitting provided at the other end of the earring. Those that match were known.

[0003] However, light earrings tend to fall off simply by hooking them with a needle, and screw-on earrings are troublesome to put on and take off. In addition, when the tip of the needle is engaged with the other end of the earring, when putting on and taking off the earring, it is necessary to forcefully spread the earring and open a gap between the tip of the needle and the engagement tool, so the earring may become loose after repeated use. There is a risk of deformation.

0004

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide earrings that do not easily fall off, can be put on and taken off with a single touch, and do not deform even after long-term use.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The earrings of the present invention include:
In order to achieve the above object, a hollow inner tube having an earlobe abutting flange at the tip is slidably fitted inside one end of an annular hollow tube with a part of the arc cut off, and An arcuate protruding shaft that is removably fitted to the inner periphery of the hollow tube is fixed to the other end coaxially with the hollow tube, and a proximal end of the arcuate protrusion shaft is fitted inside the hollow tube. It has a configuration characterized by an arc in which a coil spring is housed extending from the base end of the hollow inner tube to the base end of the hollow inner tube.

[0006]

[Operation] When wearing earrings, press the earlobe abutting flange at the tip and move the hollow inner tube toward its proximal end, the coil spring will be compressed and the hollow inner tube will be immersed inside the hollow tube. , a gap is formed between the earlobe abutting flange at the tip of the hollow inner tube and the tip of the arcuate projection. Insert the earlobe into this gap, insert the arcuate protruding shaft into the hole formed in the earlobe from the surface of the earlobe to the back side, and when you release the intermediate inner tube, the hollow inner tube will automatically close to the hollow tube due to the elastic force of the coil spring. An arcuate protruding shaft protrudes from one end and is inserted into the hollow inner tube from the earlobe abutting collar to form a continuous ring. When removing the earrings, the operation is the opposite of the operation when putting on the earrings.

[0007]

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes an earring, which includes a hollow tube 2, a hollow inner tube 3, an arcuate protruding shaft 4, and a coil spring 5.

The hollow tube 2 has a discontinuous annular shape with a part of the arc cut off, and the length of the cut part 6 is more than twice the thickness of the earlobe.

The hollow inner tube 3 is slidably fitted inside one end of the hollow tube 2, and its length is equal to the cut portion 6 of the hollow tube 2.
It is slightly larger than the length of , and an earlobe abutting collar 7 is provided on the outer periphery of the tip. Further, the outer edge of the earlobe abutting collar 7 is inclined outward from the surface so that the center portion is depressed.

By fixing the proximal end of the arcuate protruding shaft 4 to the other end surface of the hollow tube 2 by brazing 8, the arcuate protruding shaft 4 extends from the other end of the hollow tube 2 in the direction of one end to the cut portion of the hollow tube 2. It is protruded to form a part of 6. A gap slightly larger than the thickness of the earlobe is formed between the tip of the arcuate protruding shaft 4 and one end of the hollow tube 2. Incidentally, the braze 8 is also formed so as to be recessed toward the center thereof, and the outer edge thereof protrudes into the surface outer hole.

[0012] The coil spring 5 is housed inside the hollow tube 2, and one end thereof is in contact with the proximal end surface of the hollow tube 3, and the other end is in contact with the back surface of the brazing part 8 of the arcuate protruding shaft 4. has been done.

Next, to explain how to attach the earrings 1, by pressing the earlobe abutting collar 7, the hollow inner tube 3 is expanded by the pressure of the coil spring 5 and pushed in the direction of the arrow a, as shown in FIG. It is immersed into the hollow tube 2 as shown in FIG. Then, the earring 1 is fitted to the lower part of the earlobe by passing the lower part of the earlobe through the space between the tip of the arcuate protruding shaft 4 and the earlobe abutting collar 7 of the hollow inner tube 3,
The arcuate protruding shaft 4 is inserted into a small hole drilled in the earlobe from the front surface to the back surface of the earlobe.

Next, when the hand is released from the hollow inner tube 3, the hollow inner tube 3 automatically slides in the direction of arrow b due to the elastic force of the coil spring 5 and protrudes from one end of the hollow tube 2, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the arcuate protruding shaft 4 is fitted into the central cavity 9 of the hollow inner tube 3, and the earlobe abutting collar 7 is brought into contact with the back surface of the earlobe. To remove the earrings, just reverse the steps above.

[0015]

As described above, the earrings of the present invention have a hollow inner tube slidably fitted inside one end of the hollow tube, and an arcuate protruding shaft provided at the other end of the hollow tube. A coil spring is housed in the hollow tube from the proximal end of the inner tube to the proximal end of the arcuate shaft, so just by pushing the hollow inner tube toward the proximal end, a space for insertion into the earlobe is created, allowing you to put on and take off the earrings. There is no need to forcefully expand the earrings each time, and there is no need for the earrings to deform even if they are repeatedly put on and taken off.When you release your hand from the hollow inner tube, the arcuate protruding shaft will automatically fit into the hollow inner tube due to the elastic force of the coil spring. It is easier to attach and detach than screw type ones. In addition, the hollow inner tube is easy to move by placing your fingertips on the earlobe abutting flange at its tip, and is always pushed in the direction of the arcuate shaft by the coil spring, so that the hollow inner tube and the arcuate shaft can be moved easily. The earrings will not come out of engagement naturally, so there is no risk of the earrings falling off while being worn.
