Definitions

  • the invention relates to an ear plug, comprising a rod-shaped plug element for passage through a hole formed in an earlobe, a closure which can be detachably connected to the plug element, and a collar formed at one end of the plug element.
  • Ear studs of this type have been known for a long time and are usually worn by young and old female persons in a wide variety of variations.
  • a decorative element can be detachably attached to the rod-shaped plug-in element.
  • the advantage of the ear plug according to the invention consists essentially in the fact that, as desired, the decorative element, which may optionally be stored separately, only needs to be plugged onto the rod-shaped plug element after a closure has been removed, after the corresponding selection for adaptation to the desired parameters , in which case the plug element provided with the decorative element with its rod-shaped part then has to be inserted in a simple manner through the hole formed in the earlobe, and then subsequently the closure part needs to be placed on the free end of the rod-shaped plug element protruding through the earlobe.
  • the decorative element is stabilized in a predetermined manner by contacting the earlobe, so that no special measures for locking or fastening on the plug element have to be taken.
  • the ear plug according to the invention can be provided very inexpensively, so that, as desired, this ear plug is also suitable for mass use, for example as costume jewelry.
  • Another advantage is that the ear plug according to the invention virtually fulfills a carrier function, on which the piece of jewelry selected for clothing etc., which can itself be of high quality, is then plugged on, for example in the form of an elaborate, expensive jewelry element Evening wear of the wearer.
  • the decorative element is designed as an essentially plate-shaped body which has a hole for the plug element to pass through.
  • the jewelry element does not have to be plate-shaped in every case, rather it can basically be designed in any suitable manner, with all of these configurations which deviate from the plate-shaped construction of the jewelry element advantageously always somehow
  • Kind of hole is designed to ensure that the plugging of the jewelry element on the rod-shaped plug-in element can be ensured in a simple manner, which also applies to the secure hold of the jewelry element on the plug-in element.
  • the jewelry element advantageously has a substantially axial, cylindrical countersink to the hole, which has the advantage that the collar formed on the plug element can protrude at least partially into the cylindrical countersink, so that a great stability of the jewelry element relative to rod-shaped plug-in element is guaranteed and thus the thickness of the decorative element can be kept in minimally possible areas, since the side walls of the countersink can be supported at least partially on the collar.
  • Another advantage is that, overall, the collar and the plug-in element form at least one unit optically, which improves the aesthetic impression of the ear plug when inserted into the earlobe.
  • the outer edges of the jewelry element are advantageously rounded.
  • the decorative element itself can in principle be designed in any suitable type and shape, and the type of material choice or the choice of material combinations can in principle also be arbitrary.
  • the decorative element for example, from a semi-precious stone, for example an agate, which in turn can itself be formed in different colors, for example as a blue and / or green agate.
  • This different color scheme allows an adaptation, for example, to the color of the item of clothing worn.
  • the decorative element itself can also consist of metal, for example gold, silver or platinum as the base material, whereby combinations of metal or precious metal and semi-precious stones and / or precious stones are of course also possible.
  • the stud earrings are also to be used as costume jewelry, it is advantageous to leave, for example, the plastic jewelry element, which allows a wide range of designs.
  • the end of the rod-shaped plug element receiving the closure is provided with at least one circumferential groove, in which the closure engages in a latching manner.
  • the closure in any suitable manner, for example in the form of a screw closure which is screwed onto the free end of the rod-shaped plug element, but the configuration of the closure which is advantageously proposed here permits very quick fitting and removal, whereby through the locking connection nevertheless a secure fit is achieved on the rod-shaped plug element, so that an unintentional detachment of the ear plug from the earlobe is not possible.
  • the closure itself can advantageously be formed by two spirally wound, opposing and slightly spaced spring arms between which the groove is gripped.
  • the spring arms are pretensioned in such a way that with a slight but sufficiently high pull or pressure in the axial direction, the closure can be pulled down from the rod-shaped decorative element or pushed up onto the decorative element and can grip the groove in a latching manner.
  • the collar in a further advantageous embodiment of the ear plug, it is possible for the collar to be designed such that a gem can be received on its side facing away from the rod-shaped plug element, for example in the form of a gem or the like, so that, if necessary, even the ear plug without a separate one Jewelry element can be worn or that in addition to the jewelry element by the gemstone a further improved aesthetic effect is achieved with the stud.
  • the ear plug 10 consists essentially of a rod-shaped plug element 11, i.e. a rod part 12 of cylindrical design here, at one end 21 of which a collar 13 is formed, which here also has a cylindrical shape.
  • the collar 13 can be formed in one piece with the rod part 12 of the plug element 11. In any case, the collar 13 is firmly connected to the rod part 12.
  • a plurality of grooves 22, 23 encircling the rod part 12 can be formed on the free end 20 of the rod part 12 opposite the collar 13, two grooves 22, 23 being shown in FIG.
  • a closure 14 engages in one of the two grooves 22, the closure being formed in the embodiment of the ear plug 10 shown in FIG. 1 by two spirally wound spring arms 24, 25 which are opposite and slightly spaced apart.
  • the spring arms 24, 25 are latching in FIG the groove 22 engaged state corresponding to the reduced cross-section of the rod part 12 in the direction of the arrows there, so that they can exert their spring counterforce relative to the rod part 12 and thus hold the closure in place in the groove 22.
  • the adjacent groove 23 can, for example, be used instead of the groove 22 for the latching reception of the closure 14.
  • the closure 14 itself consists of a disk-shaped part 29, which has a central hole for the passage of the rod part 12, the disk-shaped part 29 and the two spring arms 24, 25 being connected to one another, for example by soldering, welding or riveting.
  • this also comprises a decorative element 15, see also FIG. 2, which is designed here as an essentially plate-shaped body.
  • the decorative element 15 here has a central hole 16 for the passage of the rod part 12 of the plug-in element 11.
  • the decorative element 15 has a cylindrical depression 17 which is essentially axial to the hole 16. The depression 17 is dimensioned such that the collar 13 at least partially protrudes into the decorative element 15, see FIG. 1.
  • the outer edges 18, 19 of the decorative element are in the embodiment shown in the figures rounded to prevent injury to the earlobe 28.
  • a jewelry element 15 is selected from a supply for adaptation to the parameters desired by the wearer (clothing, other jewelry, complexion, etc.) and put on the rod part 12 of the plug-in element 11 after the closure 14 has previously been removed in the axial direction the groove 22,23 has been disengaged.
  • the jewelry element 15 with its depression 17 then lies on the collar 13 in the manner shown in the right part of FIG. 1.
  • the rod part 12 of the plug-in element 11 is inserted with its free end 20 through a transverse hole formed in the earlobe 28, see FIG. 1, until the plate-shaped jewelry element 15 lies essentially against the side surface of the earlobe 28.
  • the closure 14 is pushed in the axial direction again onto the free end 20 of the rod part 12 of the plug-in element 11, namely until the closure 14 with its disk-shaped part 29 abuts approximately on the earlobe 28, in which case the matching one suitable groove 22, 23 is selected depending on the thickness of the earlobe 28 in the axial direction.
  • the stud 10 is assembled and connected to the earlobe 28 in the desired manner for wearing.
  • the collar 13 itself can, for example, be provided with a gem 27 to increase the aesthetic effect of the ear plug 10.
  • the plug-in element 11 and the closure 14 consist regularly of metal, for example of a noble metal or the like, but can in principle also consist of suitable plastics.
  • the decorative element 15 itself can in principle be designed in any suitable manner, for example from a correspondingly shaped gemstone, a semi-precious stone, from metal or plastic or from any suitable combination of these materials or metal materials.
  • the configuration of the jewelry element 15 shown here in the figures in the form of a substantially plate-shaped body is not prejudicial to the shape of the jewelry element 15 which can basically be used here.
