Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to cufflinks used to fasten the sleeves of Y-shirts.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 2 is a side view of a conventional cufflink.
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a base, and ornaments such as jewelry and precious metals are fixed to the surface 2 of the base. A linear support member 3 is fixed to the opposite side of the surface 2 of the base 1 so as to be substantially perpendicular to the base 1. Support member 3
A linear rotary member 4 is rotatably supported at the tip of the rotary member 4 via a pin 5 .

When attached to a Y-shirt, the rotating member 4 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise about the pin 5 so as to be substantially parallel to the supporting member 3. As a result, the rotating member 4 and the supporting member 3 are arranged substantially in the same straight line, and can be easily inserted into a buttonhole (not shown) of a Y-shirt. Rotating member 4 and support member 3
After inserting the button into the buttonhole, the rotating member 4 is rotated approximately 90 degrees about the pin 5. As a result, the rotating member 4 becomes substantially parallel to the base 1, and the cufflink becomes difficult to separate from the buttonhole.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

Since the conventional cufflink has a structure in which the rotating member 4 is rotatably supported by the supporting member 3 installed on the base 1, it can be used as earrings. Nakatsuta.

Therefore, the present invention provides cufflinks that can also be used as earrings.

[Means to solve the problem]

The cufflink of the present invention consists of a base to which an ornament is fixed, a linear support member attached approximately perpendicular to the base, and rotation between a position approximately parallel to the support member and a position approximately perpendicular to the support member. When a linear rotating member is movably supported and one end of the rotating member is biased in a direction away from the base while the rotating member is in a position substantially perpendicular to the supporting member, It includes a spring that biases the end portion back toward the base, and a hole formed in the rotating member so that a pressing member that contacts a person's ear can be screwed into it.

[Effect]

With the rotating member approximately parallel to the supporting member, move them in Y
It can be inserted into the buttonhole of a shirt. Next, by rotating the rotating member approximately 90 degrees, the cufflink is locked in the button hole.

When used as earrings, the pressing member is screwed into the hole of the rotating member. By adjusting the screwing position of the pressing member, when the pressing member comes into contact with the ear, the rotating member (and thus the pressing member) is urged toward the base by the urging force of the spring.

Therefore, by attaching a pressing member as necessary, the cufflink can also be used as earrings.

〔Example〕

3 to 5 show the cufflink of the present invention, and parts corresponding to those in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals. In these figures, reference numeral 11 denotes a projection for pressing against the ear when used as earrings, and is arranged near the end of the surface of the base 1 opposite to the surface 2. Reference numeral 12 denotes a leaf spring, which is fixed to a member 41 that constitutes a part of the rotating member 4. A pin 13 is implanted in the support member 3.

As shown in FIG. 6, the rotating member 4 of the present invention is basically composed of three members 41, 42, and 43. The member 41 is a portion supported by the support member 3 by the pin 5, and has a substantially square columnar or cylindrical shape, and female threads are formed at both ends thereof. The member 42 has a rectangular columnar or cylindrical shape with approximately the same diameter as the member 41, and has a female thread formed at one end and a male thread formed at the other end. The member 43 has a substantially hemispherical shape and is formed with a female thread.

The male screw of a member 42 is screwed into the female screw of the member 41, and the male screw of another member 42 is screwed into the female screw of the member 42. In this way, the required number of members 42 are coupled to the member 41, and the male thread of the member 43 is screwed into the female thread of the last member 42. Thereby, a rotating member 4 of a predetermined length is obtained.

When used as cufflinks, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, two members 42 are coupled to one end and the other end of member 41, and member 43 is coupled to the last member 42. The rotating member 4 is then rotated to a state substantially parallel to the supporting member 3. As shown in FIG. 4, in this state, the leaf spring 12 does not come into contact with the pin 13, so the leaf spring 12 does not generate any biasing force, and the rotating member 4 exerts a friction force with the pin 5 or the support member 3. It is stopped at a position parallel to the support member 3.
In this way, attach the rotating member 4 to the button hole of the Y-shirt.
and the support member 3 is inserted. At this time, the rotating member 4
Since the support member 3 and the support member 3 are arranged substantially in the same straight line, insertion can be easily performed.

After being inserted into the buttonhole, the rotating member 4 is rotated approximately 90 degrees clockwise in FIG. 4 about the pin 5. As a result, the rotating member 4 becomes substantially parallel to the base 1, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5. As a result, the cufflink is prevented from easily coming off from the buttonhole.

FIG. 7 shows the configuration of the pressing member 15.
The pressing member 15 is composed of a bolt 16 having a head 17 fixed to one end thereof, and a nut 18 that can be screwed onto the bolt 16. At least one of the members 42 shown in FIG.
It has a hole 44 with a female thread formed on its inner periphery so that it can be screwed into the hole 44.

When used as earrings, the rotating member 4 is rotated to be substantially parallel to the base 1, as shown in FIG. One member 42 coupled below member 41 is then removed and coupled above member 41. As a result, the length of the rotating member 4 becomes shorter in the lower part and longer in the upper part. Next, the bolt 16 is inserted into the hole 44 of the uppermost member 42, and then the nut 18 is screwed onto the bolt 16. At this time, the protrusion 11 of the base 1 and the head 17 (or nut 18) of the bolt 16 face each other. The distance between the protrusion 11 and the head 17 (or nut 18) is set to a predetermined value by adjusting the screwing position of the bolt 16 with respect to the member 42. As a result, when the lug is placed between the protrusion 11 and the head 17 (or the nut 18), the rotating member 4 rotates clockwise about the pin 5 in FIG. At this time, the leaf spring 12
Since the rotating member 4 comes into contact with the rotating member 4, the rotating member 4 is urged counterclockwise. As a result, the protrusion 11 and head 17 (or nut 18) come to press lightly against the ear, making it possible to attach the earring to the ear. At this time, the protrusion 11 and head 17 (or nut 18)
These surfaces are smooth to avoid scratching your ears.

The support member 3 is usually fixed approximately at the center of the base 1, so if the base 1 is relatively small, the protrusion 11
This shortens the distance between the support member 3 and the lower end of the ear may come into contact with the support member 3. In such a case, as shown in FIG.
, so that the support member 3 is movable along the groove 21 between a substantially central position and a lower position. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, protrusions 22 and recesses 23 that fit into each other are formed at predetermined positions in one and the other of the support member 3 and the groove 21 (base 1), so that the support member 3 can slide in a predetermined manner. It can be configured to click to stop at the moving position.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9, a male thread 31 is formed at the end of the support member 3, and female threads to be screwed into the male thread 31 are formed at two positions approximately in the center and at the bottom of the base 1. It is also possible to provide a hole 32 with a hole 32 so that the mounting position thereof can be changed as necessary.

In the above description, the length of the rotating member 4 is adjusted by changing the number of members 42 connected, but the length can also be adjusted by, for example, connecting a plurality of pipe-shaped members with different diameters. You may also do so.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, the rotating member that performs a locking function when inserted into the buttonhole of a Y-shirt is biased by a spring when the rotating member is rotated by a predetermined angle or more, and this rotating member Since the pressing member that presses the ear can be freely attached to the member, it can be used not only as a cufflink but also as an earring.
