Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a piercing body with a movable piece provided via a hinge, so that a different appearance is obtained when the movable piece is in close contact with the body and when the movable piece is separated from the body. The present invention relates to a hinged earring that can use two or more pairs of earrings in different atmospheres.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A pierced earring has a decorative member fixed to the tip of a shaft rod, and is used by inserting the shaft rod into a hole formed in an earlobe and bringing the decorative member into close contact with the earlobe. Therefore, the pair of earrings has an aesthetic appearance as one kind of jewelry. If you want a different aesthetic piercing, you have to buy another piercing.

[0003]

However, if a pair of piercings gives a completely different atmosphere or aesthetic appearance as they are, the value of the piercings increases, and two pairs of piercings are owned while owning one pair of piercings. It has the same effect as. The present invention provides a pierced earring that exhibits excellent aesthetics using either of them.

[0004]

According to the structure of the present invention, a movable piece is connected via a hinge to one end of a main body having a shaft rod to be inserted into an earlobe on a back surface, and is movable when the hinge is closed. It is characterized in that the inner surface, which is the surface in contact with the main body of the piece, and the surface of the main body have a shape that makes stable contact with each other. Furthermore, if the periphery of the inner surface of the movable piece and the periphery of the surface of the main body are both flat, a concave or flat pattern that does not protrude from the surrounding surface is applied to the inside, and if the inner surface of the movable piece is a curved surface, When the hinge is closed, the surface of the main body is a curved surface that is in close contact with the curved surface of the inner surface of the movable piece. Furthermore, a uniform pattern is applied to the inner surface of the movable piece that is in contact with the main body and the surface of the main body, and at least one of the inner surface of the movable piece, the outer surface of the movable piece, and the surface of the main body has one annular line. One or more symbols surrounded by are given, and the symbols are defined by a convex surface or a gentle concave surface from the metal,
The operation of applying or removing nail polish within the symbol can be repeated.

That is, in the present invention, a movable piece is connected to a piercing body via a hinge. As a result, if the shaft is inserted into the earlobe so that the hinge is located above the main body, the movable piece naturally falls due to its weight, and the aesthetic appearance of the movable piece can be enjoyed in the closed state. On the other hand, if the axle is inserted into the earlobe so that the hinge is under the main body, the movable piece falls under its weight and hangs down under the hinge, giving a different appearance with a swaying elegance and almost double the area. As described above, there is an advantage that a pair of piercings can be used for two types by selecting whether to insert the hinge upward or downward with respect to the main body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention in a partially opened state, FIG.
FIG. 2B is a perspective view in the case of opening and using. 1 is a main body, 2 is a shaft stick protruding from the back surface 3 of the main body, 4 is a main body 1
Surface. To attach the main body 1 to the earlobe, remove the stopper 5 made of an elastic material such as silicone rubber and having a through hole in the center, and insert the shaft 2 into the perforation provided in the earlobe. After that, the stopper 5 is inserted into the shaft 2, and the piercing is fixed after the earlobe. Reference numeral 6 denotes a hinge to which the movable piece 7 is connected via the hinge 6. The movable piece 7 includes an inner surface 8 that can be in close contact with the surface 4 of the main body, and an outer surface 9 that is most noticeable when the surface 4 and the inner surface 8 are in close contact with each other and is a main decoration.

FIG. 2 shows a state of being worn on the earlobe.
(A) is a closed state, the hinge 6 is located at the upper part of the main body 1, and the outer surface 9 of the movable piece 7 is exposed on the surface. (B) is an open state, and from the state of (a), the shaft 2 or the main body 1 is shown.
Is rotated by 180 degrees, the hinge 6 is located at the lower part of the main body 1, and the movable piece opened thereunder hangs down with the inner surface 8 facing up. At this time, the surface 4 of the main body 1 becomes visible from the outside. 1 and 2, a cross pattern is formed on the outer surface 9 of the movable piece, and a heart pattern is formed on the inner surface 8 of the movable piece and the surface 4 of the main body. Therefore, in FIG. 2A, the decoration is a cross-shaped compact decoration, and in FIG. 2B, the decoration is a double size in which the heart pattern is connected in two rows.

The symbol 10 in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a symbol surrounded by a single annular line. Various designs such as a circle, a square, a triangle, a heart shape, a wide cross shape, and the like are considered as a design surrounded by one ring line by combining a straight line and various curves. This design allows nail polish to be applied inside the loop line. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy the fashion by applying nail polish of the same color as the nail polish applied to the nails.

In applying nail polish in a design, it is necessary to clearly distinguish between a portion to be applied with nail polish and a portion not to apply nail polish, and the design 10 side is made concave through an annular line. In this case, if the concave part is formed sharply from the annular line, the part that transitions from the annular line to the pattern is gently inclined when the nail polish is removed with the slow light after applying the nail polish because the nail polish tends to remain in the sharp depression The boundary is set. The depth of the concave surface is 0.1 to 1.0 mm,
Preferably it is 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm. Furthermore, since the nail polish tends to shrink after drying, it is preferable to make the central part of the design surrounded by the annular line swell in order to give a feeling of swelling to the nail varnish application surface. Further, the design surrounded by the ring line may be made convex from the metal. However, when it is applied to the front surface 4 of the main body or the inner surface 8 of the movable piece, it is necessary to make one of them concave, or to take care that both are tightly closed.

The pierce shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a flat surface around the front and back surfaces of the main body and the inner and outer surfaces of the movable piece. The present invention is not limited to a flat surface, and the outer surface 9 of the movable piece 7 may be a convex curved surface as shown in FIG. The curved surface may be any curved surface as long as the movable piece 7 is sufficiently opened via the hinge 6. The curved surface 9 in FIG. 3 can be decorated with jewelry or various decorations. In FIG. 3, the surface 4 of the main body and the inner surface 8 of the movable piece
Is flat, and a pattern 10 having a concave surface on which nail polish can be applied is provided in the center.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the present invention in which two or more movable pieces having a shape not conforming to the main body are provided. The movable piece 17 is a rod-like body that is longer than the main body and is much narrower than the main body. In FIG. 4, the movable piece 17 is connected to both ends of the main body via the hinge 6. Therefore, in the state where the hinge is closed and the main body is closed as shown in FIG. 4A, only the central portion of the surface is slightly visible from the outside. In the open state as shown in FIG. 4B, the two movable pieces hang down from the main body and present an elegant appearance. The movable piece 17 can be made of any color such as gold, silver, black, and red, or metal, and various designs can be created by combining with the color of the main body.
Although not shown in the drawings, it is also possible to provide a pattern consisting of an annular line for applying nail polish on the surface 4 of the main body, apply nail polish, or provide a horizontal stripe pattern or the like. Movable piece 1
By providing three or more 7, more complicated designs can be enjoyed.

FIG. 5 shows a closed state of the embodiment in which both surfaces of the movable piece are convex curved surfaces and the surface 4 of the main body is a curved surface coinciding with the inner surface 8 of the movable piece. (B) is a plan view, and FIG. 6 shows a side view (a) and a plan view (b) of the piercing of FIG. 5 in an open state. 5 and 6, the movable piece is much larger than the main body, but there are also designs where the main body is much larger than the movable piece.

Various designs can be applied to the outer surface 9 of the movable piece 7. It is also possible to embed diamonds and other jewels, and to apply a design surrounded by an annular line for nail polish application. In this case, the design surrounded by the ring line does not necessarily have to be concave,
Even a convex surface is preferable because it has a three-dimensional effect. In FIG. 5, it is necessary that the curved surface of the inner surface 8 of the movable piece and the curved surface of the surface 4 of the main body coincide with each other so as to be in a state in which the movable member looks stably adhered.

FIG. 6 shows a state in which the movable piece 7 is hung with the hinge 6 of the main body 1 shown in FIG. The body 1 can also be made narrower. In the present invention, there is no particular limitation as long as the hinge 6 can be rotated by 180 degrees and the surface 4 of the main body and the inner surface 8 of the movable piece can be stably adhered through the hinge.

It is not always necessary to make a concave surface when a design surrounded by an annular line on which nail polish can be applied is arranged on the surface 4 of the main body and the inner surface 8 of the movable piece. For example, the periphery of the design is made concave as a whole, and a design for applying nail polish is formed in the concave portion, or the arrangement of the design for applying nail polish is shifted so that the surface 4 and the inner surface 8 do not contact each other. Is also possible.

[0016]

According to the present invention, the design range of the pierced earrings is greatly widened, and the color, shape, gloss, and the various colors of the movable piece through the hinge and the synergistic effect of the movable piece through the hinges are excellent. The creation of the design became possible. Two or more pairs of piercings can be used at the same time.
