Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a device for shooting in ear plugs into earlobes comprising a barrel with a handle, in which a bolt that can be tensioned against a spring that can be released by a release lever is arranged, as well as holding devices on which an ear plug and at a distance before the barrel ends of which a closure part can be arranged in alignment therewith, the holding devices having fastening devices for the releasable fastening of the plug parts or the holding parts carrying the closure part.
  • Such a device is known, for example, from US Pat. No. 4,020,848.
  • the holding devices for the ear plug and the closure part are an integral part of the shooting device.
  • the stud earrings and the closure part are sometimes already packaged sterile, but when these parts are removed from the packaging and when they are inserted into the holding devices on the shooting device, intensive manual manipulation is required required, which leads to the fact that bacteria can be transferred to the ear plug and the closure part at this time, which then naturally get directly into the open wound of the ear hole and not infrequently lead to inflammation, sometimes even to serious diseases.
  • the object of the invention is to design a device of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that a design which meets even strict hygienic requirements is achieved with simple and easy handling, and in addition a very targeted, painless shooting should be made possible.
  • closure part and the ear plug are each arranged on such mutually insertable, mutually displaceable holding parts that the surfaces of the closure part and ear plug facing the ear lobe from the outside are so small when removed from the packaging and when positioned in the device Have a distance from each other that these surfaces can not be touched, but that the holding parts are adjustable to a selectable distance according to the thickness of the respective earlobe after insertion into the device.
  • This concept makes it possible to design the insertable holding parts as disposable items, so that it is absolutely ensured that parts coming into contact with the earlobe to be pierced are used only once. In this way it is achieved that even if the device is used by medically untrained auxiliary personnel, e.g. in jewelry stores, is handled, absolutely hygienic conditions are guaranteed without the need for special precautions.
  • the holding parts in question can be designed as parts of the packaging required for the ear plug and the closure part anyway, so that it is accordingly possible to take them out of the packaging without the handling person touching them even slightly. In addition to the obvious bacteriological advantages, the laborious placement of these parts in known holding devices is avoided.
  • the surfaces of the ear plug parts or of the closure part facing the earlobe are not touched when these sterile packaged parts are inserted because they are at a close distance from one another. Only after they have been inserted into the device are the holding parts pulled apart and the distance between the closure part and the ear plug is adapted to the thickness of the earlobe to be pierced.
  • the distance of the one holding part relative to the other holding part can be changed by means of a grip part in the form of a trigger guard acted upon by a spring.
  • a grip part and a running part are mounted displaceably relative to the handle and the barrel for tensioning.
  • the relatively large handle part is available for clamping, so that the clamping process can also be carried out easily by women.
  • the longitudinally displaceable barrel part enables the fastening device for the holding part of the closure part to be arranged on the barrel part. As a result, a relatively large mutual distance is available for attaching the holding parts, so that unimpeded, convenient handling is possible.
  • the holding part for the plug can advantageously have a lateral groove for axial fixing in the longitudinal direction of the barrel, which engages in a corresponding undercut at the barrel end.
  • the holding part of the connector has resilient, abutting retaining legs in such a way that these hold the connector during storage, transport and positioning, but are deformed and broken off when the connector is pressed out beyond the elastic limit. This ensures that the plug assumes an exactly defined firing position and can still be easily and definedly released from the holding part. On the other hand, this also ensures that incorrect use of the holding parts, which does not meet the hygienic requirements, is prevented.
  • the holding parts for the plug and / or closure part are made of plastic, in particular cellulose acetate, with particular advantage. Accordingly, these parts can be designed as inexpensive disposable items.
  • the use of transparent material also enables exact positioning before firing.
  • the front end of the bolt can be rubber-like. This rubber-like front part engages in the holding part for the plug and presses it out precisely.
  • the bolt can have a first annular shoulder for engaging a spring-loaded clamping bolt connected to the displaceable handle or barrel part.
  • the bolt can carry a second ring shoulder for engaging a locking bolt on the handle side.
  • the clamping bolt takes the bolt with it when the handle or barrel part is pushed back, the locking bolt then engaging in the end position. In this position, the bolt is doubly secured by both the locking and the clamping bolt engaging it.
  • a release lever is advantageously arranged on the handle or barrel and can be actuated in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the barrel. This makes it possible to hold the device on the handle with one hand and to actuate the release lever with the other hand in such a way that slipping through the release process or during the same is avoided. In this way, a very high accuracy can be achieved.
  • a release lever is advantageously arranged on both sides of the device. It can be handled by left- and right-handed people equally easily.
  • the release lever can act on a pivoting lever which takes the locking pin and the clamping pin, whereby both are simultaneously brought into the disengaged position and the actual shooting pin is released.
  • a device shown in the drawing comprises two housing switches 1, which are connected by a screw 2 and form a handle 3 and a barrel 4.
  • a grip part 6 with a running part 7 running parallel to the barrel is slidably mounted in the direction of arrow 8, the right-hand end position in FIG. 1 being shown in dash-dotted lines there.
  • a barrel 9 is guided in the barrel 4 by means of a guide 10.
  • a helical spring 11 rests on the one hand on an inner wall 12 of the barrel 4 and on the other hand on an annular shoulder 13 of a sleeve-like section 14 with a larger diameter of the bolt 9.
  • annular shoulder 15 which serves as a stop for a locking pin 16 which bears against the pin 9 between the sleeve section 14 and a second sleeve section 17 with an enlarged diameter.
  • annular shoulder 18 is formed, which serves as a stop for a clamping bolt 19.
  • the locking pin 16 and the clamping pin 19 are each guided on recesses 2o and 21 and are pressed upwards against the bolt 9 by coil springs 22 and 23, which are supported against the bottom of these recesses 2o, 21.
  • a trigger lever 24 is arranged on both sides of barrel 4, which is in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of barrel 4 - as indicated by arrow 25 - can be actuated.
  • a pivot lever 26 is actuated, which is pivotably mounted about a pivot axis 27 and - as not shown in detail - presses the locking bolt 16 and the clamping bolt 19 downwards and in this way releases the bolt 9.
  • a rubber-like section 28 is formed on the front of the bolt 9 and, when triggered, exits through a kind of orifice 29 in the barrel 4.
  • the handle part 6 For tensioning, the handle part 6 is moved in the direction of arrow 8 against the force of a helical spring 30, which acts on the handle part 6 and is parallel to the helical spring 11, the pin 9 being carried along via the tensioning bolt 19 and the annular shoulder 18 of the sleeve section 17 is slid off the locking pin 16 from the sleeve portion 14 and engages in front of the annular shoulder 15.
  • a holding part 32 for an ear plug 36 is attached in front of the mouth opening 29.
  • a holding part 33 for the closure part 37 is inserted into a rail 31 by means of pins 34 attached to its underside, which can be moved back and forth in the direction of arrow 8 over the grip part 6.
  • FIG. 3 in addition to the illustration in FIG. 1, it is illustrated how a plug 36 is held in the associated holding part 32 relative to a closure part 37.
  • the holding part 32 has elastic legs 38 which on the one hand define and center the plug, but on the other hand also ensure a clean, targeted exit of the plug 36 in the direction of the bore 39 of the closure part 37 enable when the rubber-like section 28 hits the head 4o entering the recess 41 of the holding part 32.
  • FIG. 4 shows how the closure part 37 is arranged on its associated holding part 33.
  • the holding parts 33 and 32 together with the closure part 37 and the plug 36 can be accommodated in a sterilized packaging and together with the holding parts can be placed on the device without there being any direct contact by the operator comes, and the whole process is effortless.
  • the holding parts are thrown away after use, only these parts coming into contact with the earlobe when the device is placed on the earlobe.
  • the holding parts 32 and 33 can be kept nested and packaged, so that the distance between the end faces 51 and 52 of the holding parts 32 and 33 facing the earlobe 33 (distance d) can be kept so small that it is not possible to touch the packaged ear plug parts while inserting the holding parts 32, 33 into the device.
  • distance d the distance between the end faces 51 and 52 of the holding parts 32 and 33 facing the earlobe 33
  • the longitudinally extending foot part 53 of the holding part 33 which is dovetail-shaped in cross section, is inserted into a correspondingly dovetail-shaped recess 54 of the holding part 32 for the ear plug 36. This enables the entire arrangement to be handled without problems.
  • the grip part 6 When this arrangement is inserted, the grip part 6 is tensioned against the action of the spring 3o, so that on the one hand the part 5o is inserted into the undercut 45 in the region of the mouth 29 and on the other hand the projections 34 can be inserted into the corresponding recesses in the rail 31.
  • the handle part 6 If the handle part 6 is now released, the holding part 32 for the ear plug 36 is held firmly in the region of the mouth opening 29, but on the other hand the holding part 33 for the closure part 37 is together with the rail 31, which is connected to the handle part 6, in FIG. 1 pushed to the right until such a large distance D is reached that the pistol can be attached to an orbital flap, the distance D being able to be set very precisely to the thickness of the respective earlobe. Due to the transparency of the holding parts 32 and 33, very precise positioning is nevertheless possible. The firing position once set is then no longer changed unintentionally during firing because the bolt 9 can be fired smoothly and without effort by moving the firing lever 24 in the direction of arrow 25
