Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for supporting earring hooks which is adapted for insertion into the small hole usually formed through the lobe of the ear.
  • the main object of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks by providing a supporting device for supporting earring hooks which is so arranged and designed as to properly fit the hole through the user's lobe of the ear, without any risk of enlarging it.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such an earring hook supporting device which is effective to prevent allergic reactions.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide an earring hook supporting device which is simple construction-wise and reliable in operation.
  • a device for supporting earring hooks characterized in that it comprises a small tube flanged at one end and provided, at the other end thereof, with fin defining axial circumferential slots, the small tube being engaged by a washer, the central hole of which has a diameter equal to the outer diameter of the small tube.
  • the device comprises a small tube flanged at one end and provided at the opposite end with external threads so that it may engage with the washer having internal threads.
  • the elongated body is threaded and the washer has a slit, so that it may engage the tube by snapping onto the threads.
  • the washer has internal slits so that it may engage with the tube and the tube is provided with projections.
  • the device consists of a spiral which permits flexibility and allows adapta­tion to different shapes of hooks.
  • the device for supporting earring hooks comprises a small tube 1 having a size which depends on the thickness of the lobe of the ear and the opening of the small hole formed through the lobe.
  • the tube may be made of gold, platinum, titanium or another noble metal, steel alloys, but it may also be made of bone, coral, shell, wood, paper, a synthetic resin or rubber, glass, silicon polymers.
  • the small tube is provided, at one end, with a ring nut (2) and, at the other end thereof, with a plurality of fins, preferably four fins, which are defined by corresponding circumferential slots 4.
  • a washer 5 which may also be made of a noble metal, engages with the small tube 1 and the central hole 6 of the washer has a diameter equal to the outer diameter of the small tube.
  • the device of Figs. 1 and 2 operates as follows: after having formed the small hole through the lobe of the ear, the small tube is inserted into it, in such a way as to arrange the ring nut 2 on the outer side of the lobe. The washer 5 then will be fitted on the small tube 1 on the portion of the tube which projects from the inner side of the lobe.
  • the fins 3 will be out­wardly radially bent, as shown in Fig. 2.
  • the gap between the ring nut 2 and washer 5 will correspond per­fectly to the thickness of the lobe.
  • the supporting device according to the invention will have the appearance of a conventional small gold or other noble metal earring, if the device has been made of a noble metal similar to devices which are inserted into the lobe small hole to prevent the hole from closing.
  • the ring nut 2 and the outer washer are so designed and arranged as to prevent possible cuts of the lobe of the ear; in fact the earring hooks passing through the small tube inserted in the lobe cannot cause any "blade effects.”
  • the fins 3 have, in their bent condition, a greater length than the radial projecting portion of the washer 5.
  • the above disclosed supporting device may bear suitable patterns at its outer portion.
  • engagement of the tube with the washer is achieved by means of the external threads of the tube with the internal threads of the washer.
  • the washer snaps over the threads of the tube.
  • a bayonet-type engagement is achieved between the internal slits of the washer and the projections of the tube.
