DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an earring for decoration, and more particularly to an earring that can be securely attached with a simple structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Earrings have been used for a long time as one of ornaments such as rings and necklaces. Since the earring is used by attaching it to the ear (mainly the earlobe), it has a decorative portion for achieving the original purpose and a mounting portion such as a clasp for attaching to the earlobe. Various designs and ideas have been applied to the decoration and mounting parts.

[0003] Conventionally, when an earring is worn, the earring is fixed so as not to fall by sandwiching and holding an earlobe with a clasp (wearing portion) attached to the earring. As a method of holding and holding with a clasp, for example, a method using the returning force of a spring, a method of tightening with a screw, a method of inserting an earlobe in a gap between elastic rings, and inserting an earlobe in a gap of a hard ring There are things to sandwich.

[0004]

However, according to the above-mentioned conventional earring, when the earring is attached to the ear, the earring is clamped and held down by a clasp, and a spring structure or a screw is used as a structure for generating the clamping force. Since it is necessary to provide a structure and the like, there has been a problem that the structure is complicated.

Further, since it is necessary to provide a spring structure or a screw structure as a structure of the clasp, there is also a problem that the clasp portion becomes large and the appearance is poor. In particular, when the back side of the ear is visible, such as when the shortcut or the hair is made up-style, the clasp portion becomes conspicuous, and there is a problem that the decorativeness is reduced.

On the other hand, in the case of earrings of a type in which an earlobe is inserted into a gap between elastic rings or an earring of a type in which an earlobe is inserted into a gap between rigid rings, a special structure is not required for a clasp portion. Although the structure is simple and the appearance is good, there is a problem that the earrings are easily detached because the force for pinching the earlobe is not sufficiently obtained, and the earrings may fall. In particular, there is a problem that when the attached earring is pulled downward, it immediately comes off.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide an earring that has a simple structure, has a good appearance, and is hard to drop and can be securely attached.

[0012]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an earring according to the present invention will be described in detail in the order of [Embodiment 1] and [Embodiment 2] with reference to the drawings.

[Embodiment 1] FIGS. 1A and 1B show the structure of an earring according to Embodiment 1, which is formed by bending a front end portion and a rear end portion of a rod-shaped member so as to face each other. And an earring body 101 having an opening 102 formed with a gap between the opposed front and rear ends, and the front and rear ends of the earring body 101 at the front and rear ends. A projection 103 disposed at a position on the inner peripheral side of the earring main body in a shape bent so as to face the rear end.

The gap between the openings 102 has such a width that the tip of the earlobe and the rear end of the earlobe can be lightly sandwiched when the earlobe is passed through the opening 102. Realistically, the thickness of the earlobe varies greatly between individuals (individual difference), so at the time of sale, the thickness of the earlobe of each person (the purchaser) is measured and the gap of the opening 102 is appropriately adjusted. Alternatively, various sizes are prepared in advance, and a matching size is selected from the various sizes.

Further, in the first embodiment, as shown in the figure, an example is shown in which the entire shape of the earring main body 101 is a ring (circle). However, the present invention is not particularly limited to this.
Of course, it may be an ellipse.

In the above configuration, FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b)
The mounting method will be described with reference to FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 2A, in a state where the thickness of the earlobe is reduced by pulling the earlobe by hand, the earring is attached to the thinnest portion (A in the figure) of the base of the ear. Body 1
2B, the earlobe is passed through the gap between the openings 102 so that the earlobe is sandwiched between the front end and the rear end of the earring main body 101 as shown in FIG. Move to the desired position on the earlobe. At this time, since the earlobe is pulled by hand, the thickness is reduced as a whole, and the earlobe 101 can be easily moved by sliding the earring body 101 in the direction of the arrow in the figure.

As shown in FIG. 3, the earring body 101
After moving to the desired position, release the earlobe,
When you stop pulling the earlobe, the thickness of the earlobe returns to its original thickness. In other words, the thickness of the earlobe is slightly increased. As a result, the earlobe is lightly sandwiched between the front end portion and the rear end portion of the earring main body 101, and the projections 103 bite into the earlobes.
The earring main body 101 is prevented from dropping due to the hook 3 being caught in the earlobe, and the mounting of the earring is completed.

After spending 12 hours performing daily operations with the earrings attached in this manner, the earrings did not come off the earlobe, and sufficient wearing strength was obtained. Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the earring main body 101 is lightly pulled downward (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 4) to test the mounting force, the protrusion 103 is caught on the earlobe, and as shown in FIG. As shown in b), only the earlobe extended downward (in the direction of the arrow in the figure), and the earring main body 101 did not fall off. It is clear that this provides a sufficient mounting force. Further, the earring body 101 was pulled further downward, but did not come off. When it was pulled down considerably, it came off the earlobe. In other words, the earrings had a sufficient mounting force.

When removing the earring from the earlobe,
As shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), when the earring main body 101 is pulled below the earlobe, the projection 103 is caught on the earlobe and is difficult to remove, but the earlobe is pulled as in the case of wearing to reduce the wall thickness. While thinning, the earring body 10
1 is rotated in the left or right direction in the figure, the area of the projection 103 becomes smaller with respect to the moving direction of the earring body 101, so that the projection 103 and the earlobe are less likely to be caught, and the earring can be easily removed. Can be removed.

That is, when the earring body 101 moves below the earlobe (moves in the falling direction),
Although the earring is not easily detached because the projection 103 is caught, the earring can be easily moved and removed because the engagement of the projection 103 is reduced in other directions.

FIGS. 5A to 5C show a decorative portion (here, a flower) 501 having a high decorative property in the earring of the first embodiment.
When an earring shown in FIG. 5A is attached, as shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C, the front side and the back side of the ear can be clearly and clearly displayed. In other words, it is possible to provide earrings that are intended to show not only the front side but also the back side of the ears, so that the earrings can be beautifully displayed even when the shortcut or the hair is made up-style.

Also, since earrings can be provided on the premise that the ears can be viewed not only on the front side but also on the back side, decorative portions 501 are provided on both the front and back sides of the earrings.
The decorativeness can be further enhanced. Further, the design of the front side and the back side of the earring may be changed so that the earring can be used reversibly.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, since the earlobe is lightly sandwiched between the openings 102 and hooked by the protrusions 103, a spring structure or a screw structure is used as the structure of the clasp for mounting. There is no need to provide it, and it can be mounted with good appearance with a simple structure, and it is hard to drop and can be mounted securely.

Although the earlobe is lightly sandwiched between the front end and the rear end of the earring body 101 in the opening 102, the force for pinching is not applied from the earring side, but the restoring force of the earlobe (a thinner earlobe). Using the force of returning from the state to the original thick state).
Further, since the force for preventing the earring from dropping is obtained by the catch of the projection 103, the mounting principle is different from the conventional method of holding and holding with the clasp. In addition, conventional earrings that insert the earlobe into the gap between the hard rings and pinch the earrings have the force to prevent the earrings from falling only with the pinching force. Are different.

The shape of the projection 103 is not particularly limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, the shape of the projection 103 is inclined, and as shown in FIG. It may have a rectangular shape as shown in FIG. 6C. Although not shown, the cross-sectional shape of the end face formed by the front end or rear end and the projection 103 may be an inverted W-shape or a T-shape.

Further, as shown in FIG.
02 is on the outer peripheral side of the earring body 101 (Wa)
From the center to the inner peripheral side (Wb) (Wa> Wb). This facilitates the insertion of the earlobe into the opening 102.

Second Embodiment FIGS. 7A to 7C show the structure of an earring according to a second embodiment, in which a protrusion 701 is formed of an elastic resin.
Further, the projection 701 is opened by receiving a force from the outer peripheral side to the inner peripheral side of the earring main body 101 in a shape in which the front end and the rear end are bent so as to face each other. It is a valve structure that receives and closes.

In the above configuration, the mounting method will be described. In a state where the thickness of the earlobe is reduced by pulling the earlobe by hand as in the first embodiment, the opening 10 of the earring main body 101 is inserted into the thinnest part of the base of the ear.
By moving the earring main body 101 to a desired position of the earlobe, the earbud 2 is moved closer to the earlobe so that the earlobe is inserted between the front end and the rear end of the earring main body 101 so as to sandwich the earlobe. At this time, since the earlobe is pulled by hand, the overall thickness is reduced, and the earring body 10
1 can be easily moved. The projection 701 of the valve structure receives a force in a direction as shown in FIG. 7C when the earlobe is passed through the gap of the opening 102, so that the earlobe is moved in the opening direction to insert the earlobe. Do not hinder.

After moving the earring body 101 to a desired position, release the earlobe and stop pulling the earlobe, and the thickness of the earlobe returns to the original thickness. In other words, the thickness of the earlobe is slightly increased. As a result, the earlobe is lightly sandwiched between the front end and the rear end of the earring main body 101. Further, since the earring main body 101 moves slightly downward by its own weight, the protruding portion 701 receives a force in a direction as shown in FIG. 7B, moves in the direction in which the valve closes, and is caught on the earlobe, causing the earring main body 101 to move. The dropping is prevented, and the installation of the earring is completed.

As described above, according to the second embodiment, since the ear lobe is lightly sandwiched between the openings 102 and hooked by the projections 701, a spring structure or a screw structure is used as a structure of the clasp for mounting. There is no need to provide it, and it can be mounted with good appearance with a simple structure, and it is hard to drop and can be mounted securely.
