Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an earring obtained by press-cutting a plate-shaped base material and imparting elasticity thereto.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A conventional earring includes an ear pad for mounting on an ear lobe and a tightening screw or a pressing body having a spring property facing the ear pad, which are usually brazed to a decorative body.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the former earring having a tightening screw, in which an ear pad 12 is brazed to one end of a U-shaped ornament 11 and a female screw tube 13 is attached to the other end. It is attached to a row, and a male screw 14 is screwed onto this to form a pressing body 15, which is then worn by sandwiching the earlobe. The male screw 14 is provided with an ear pad portion 16 at its tip and a cap nut 17 as a knob at its rear end.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the latter earring including a pressing body having a spring property. An ear pad 22 is brazed above the back surface of the ornament body 21 and below the back surface thereof. The connecting member 23 is brazed and a pressing body 25 having a leaf spring 24 is rotatably attached, and by utilizing the elasticity of the leaf spring 24, it is attached across the earlobe. Reference numeral 26 is an ear pad provided on the pressing body 25 side.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, in each of the above-mentioned examples, the decorative body is usually obtained by the casting method, but the decorative body is provided with the ear pads used for mounting on the ear lobe, the screws and leaf springs of the pressing body, etc. It was necessary to fix the member to the decorative body by brazing, which required a lot of work and increased costs.

In addition, depending on the type of the decorative body, it may be difficult to fix each member because some materials are difficult to be brazed. On the other hand, when viewed from the side of the decorative body, heating could not be said to be very preferable because the surface may be discolored when heated by brazing. Furthermore, it is unavoidable that the decorative body manufactured by the casting method will be a product with a certain degree of thickness, and since expensive materials are used even for unnecessary parts, cost will increase, so there is room for improvement in this respect as well. was there.

In view of such circumstances, the present invention provides a new earring made of a plate-shaped base material, which is attached to the earlobe by using the elasticity of the ornament itself. Therefore, the brazing work for the decorative body is unnecessary.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The gist of the present invention is to press and cut a long earring decoration part and ear pads formed on both ends thereof from a plate-like base material by pressing to cut the long earring decoration part into a substantially circular shape. It relates to an earring characterized in that the ear pads are confronted in a slightly opened state and curved inward to impart elasticity, and preferably, the widthwise edge of the earring decoration is Bending inward gives more elasticity, and particularly preferably, the curved portion of the ear pad is formed with ribs inward or outward.

[0009]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The earring of the present invention is an earring which is cut from a plate-shaped base material which is a decorative body by pressing, without using a casting method or the like, and which is not particularly brazed to a member to be attached to an earlobe. That is, the press-cut material was curved in a substantially circular shape, and the ear pads at both ends were further curved inward, and the entire earlobe was curved in a substantially circular shape. The elasticity of the material is utilized, and as a preferable structure, elasticity is imparted by bending the widthwise edge of a material which is curved in a substantially circular shape inward. The fact that the widthwise edge is curved inward may be conversely that the central portion of the material may be projected outward by pressing or the like. By forming ribs inward or outward on the curved portion of the ear pad, elasticity is further enhanced.

[0010] All of these plate-shaped materials such as bending, ribbing, and overhanging can be performed by press working, and the manufacturing method is simple, and the cost is reduced as a whole. Moreover, since the center of the ornament is overhanging and the widthwise edge of the material is curved inward, the volume is large and the material is saved even though the interior is hollow. As the plate-shaped material, any material such as gold, platinum, or silver can be adopted, and earrings of products that are difficult to be brazed such as silver material can be easily obtained.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the earring of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a material obtained by pressing and cutting a plate-shaped material, and FIG. 2 is a side view thereof. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a long earring material cut by a press from a plate-shaped material, and a central portion 2 thereof is a slightly wide decorative body portion, both ends thereof are slightly thin, and earpiece portions 3, 4 are formed. Ribs 5 and 6 are also formed on the ear pads 3 and 4 in the longitudinal direction by pressing.

FIG. 3 is a side view of the earring obtained from this material 1, FIG. 4 is its front view, and FIG. 5 is its top view. That is, the decorative portion of the material 1 is curved into a substantially circular shape by press working, and a small curved portion is further pressed into the ear pads 3 and 4 so that the ribs 5 and 6 are located inside. It was formed by. A cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 3 is shown in FIG. 6, in which the central portion 2 of the decorative portion is projected outward and the width-direction edges 7 and 8 thereof are curved inward. As can be seen from this cross-sectional view, the earrings are made by processing a very thin plate-shaped material, and even though the inside is hollow, the earrings have an extremely large volume feeling. is there.

By pressing the long material 1 into a substantially circular shape, further bending the width-direction edges 7 and 8 inward, and forming the ribs 5 and 6 on the ear pads 3 and 4, In particular, the elasticity of the earring as a whole becomes large, and the earring is surely worn. Although not shown in the figure, it is of course possible to add elasticity by forming ribs in the longitudinal direction of the ornament, and in some cases, adding a round hole, a long hole, or a slit to the ornament. Is also possible.

[0014]

[Effect of the invention]

 The earrings according to the present invention are obtained by press working from a plate-shaped material, and it is possible to apply the mounting force to the earlobe without the need for brazing work such as ear pads. This not only saves materials but also reduces earring costs.
