Description

  The present invention relates to an earring worn so as to be sandwiched between ears, and more particularly, to an elastic tool attached to the earring and an earring provided with the same.

  There are two types of earrings: a type that is attached by passing a part of the main body through a pierced hole drilled in the ear, and a type that is fixed to the ear by holding the ear with a fastener or the like. These earrings are useful for many people because they do not need to be pierced by ears and can be worn easily. Hereinafter, the term “earring” refers to the latter earring.

  Conventionally, as a method of pressing with the ear in the earring, a method of tightening a screw to press the fastener against the ear or a method of pressing the fastener against the ear with a spring has been adopted. However, when these methods are adopted, it is necessary to provide a screw mechanism or a spring mechanism, so that the structure becomes complicated and the manufacturing cost increases. There was a problem that the appearance was damaged.

  Therefore, for example, an earring disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-99110 has been proposed as an earring that can be fixed to the ear so as to be pressed between the ears without providing a complicated structure.

  This earring has a shape in which a front end portion and a rear end portion of a shaft-like member are bent so as to face each other, and an opening is formed by providing a gap between the opposed front end portion and the rear end portion. And a protrusion disposed at a position on the inner peripheral side of the earring main body in a shape where the front end and the rear end are bent so that the front end and the rear end are opposed to each other. The opening has a width that allows the earlobe to be lightly sandwiched between the front end and the rear end when the earlobe is passed through the opening.

  According to this earring, while the earlobe is thinned by pulling the earlobe by hand, the opening is brought close to the thinnest part of the base of the ear, and the front and rear ends of the earring body The earlobe is passed through the gap of the opening so as to sandwich the earlobe, and the earring body is moved to a desired position of the earlobe. Then, by releasing the hand from the earlobe, the thickness of the earlobe returns to the original thickness, and the earring is fixed to the ear.

  As described above, the earring is attached to the ear with the earlobe sandwiched between the front end portion and the rear end portion, and does not require a screw mechanism or a spring mechanism, and the structure of the earring itself is relatively simple. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be suppressed, and the aesthetic appearance as a decorative product is not impaired.

JP-A-10-99110

  However, in the above earring, the earring cannot be attached to the ear unless it is moved from the thinnest part of the base of the ear to the predetermined position through the earlobe through the gap between the openings, and the mounting work is complicated. Therefore, it is insufficient from the viewpoint of ease of wearing on the ear.

  In addition, since there are individual differences in the size of the wearer's ear, the width of the opening gap must be adjusted according to the size of each person's ear. There is also a problem that it takes time to make adjustments.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an earring that can be easily worn and can easily cope with various ear sizes.

The present invention for solving the above problems relates to an elastic device for earrings and an earring provided with the same.
The elastic device for earrings is
The earring includes a shaft-like member that is bent so that a gap is formed between both ends, and has elasticity that is attached to at least one end of the earring configured to sandwich the ear between the both ends. An elastic tool for earrings,
A mounting hole formed so that the end of the earring can be inserted;
And at least one slit hole formed so as to open along the axis of the mounting hole and on the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole,
The slit hole is formed with a width smaller than the diameter of the mounting hole.

The earrings
It includes a shaft-like member that is bent so that a gap is formed between both ends, and is configured to sandwich an ear between the both ends, and an elastic tool is provided at at least one end of the both ends. Attached earrings,
The elastic tool is
A mounting hole formed so that the end of the earring can be inserted;
And at least one slit hole formed so as to open along the axis of the mounting hole and on the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole,
The slit hole is formed with a width smaller than the diameter of the mounting hole.

  According to the earring according to the present invention, first, an elastic tool is attached to at least one of the end portions of the earring, and the width of the gap between the elastic tool and the other end is set to the elastic tool and the other end. Adjust the width so that the ears can be pinched at the end of the. At this time, according to the thickness of the wearer's ear, an elastic tool having an appropriate size and depth of the attachment hole is attached to the end of the earring.

  After that, the ear enters the ring of the earring through the gap between the elastic member and the other end from below the position where the earring is to be fixed, and the earring is moved to a predetermined position. At this time, since the elastic tool is provided with a slit hole, the elastic tool swings in a direction intersecting with the axis of the end portion, so that the ear can easily enter the ring of the earring. In addition, even when the elastic device attached to the end and the other end of the earring are in contact with the ear, the elastic device swings due to the force of movement, and the earring is smoothly moved to a predetermined position. Move to. Thus, the earring is attached to the ear while being fixed at a predetermined position.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the width of the gap between the elastic tool and the other end can be adjusted by simply selecting and mounting an elastic tool having a different size and mounting hole depth. It becomes possible to attach it to the ears.

  Moreover, the end part which has various shaft diameters can be inserted by providing the slit hole in the elastic tool. Furthermore, since the end of the earring can be easily inserted into the mounting hole, and the elastic tool swings in a direction intersecting the axis of the earring end, the ear is inserted into the ring of the earring through the gap between the elastic tool and the other end. The earring can be smoothly moved to a predetermined position even when the elastic tool and the ear are in contact with each other, and the earring can be easily attached.

  In addition, the earring is fixed to the ear while the ear and the elastic tool are in contact with each other, and the frictional force acting between the ear and the elastic tool is relatively large. Is prevented.

  Note that the end of the earring body to which the elastic tool is attached preferably has a diameter larger than the diameter of the attachment hole. Specifically, the diameter of the attachment hole is larger than the diameter of the end. It is preferable to be 1/6 times to 1/3 times. In this way, it is possible to easily insert the earring end portion into the attachment hole, and it is possible to prevent the inserted earring end portion from easily falling out of the attachment hole. Moreover, you may make it have a diameter-expanded part bulging in the radial direction in the edge part to which an elastic tool is attached, and there exists the same effect even if it does in this way.

  Moreover, it is preferable that two said slit holes are formed so that it may oppose. If it does in this way, since an elastic tool becomes easy to rock | fluctuate, an earring can be moved to a predetermined position more smoothly.

  When the mounting hole is a through hole, the contact area between the ear and the elastic tool is reduced, and the frictional force acting between the two is reduced. Therefore, in order to secure a contact area where an appropriate frictional force acts between the ear and the elastic tool, the mounting hole is preferably a non-through hole.

  As described above, according to the earring elastic tool of the present invention and the earring provided with the same, it is easy to wear and can easily perform the wearing work, and can easily cope with various ear sizes. it can. In addition, the earring can be prevented from falling off the ear.

(A) is the top view which showed the elastic tool which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention, (b) is the side view seen from the arrow A direction in (a). It is explanatory drawing for demonstrating the procedure which attaches an earring to an ear | edge. It is the top view which showed the earring main body which concerns on other embodiment of this invention. It is the top view which showed the state which attached the elastic tool to the earring main body which concerns on other embodiment.

  Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the earring 1 of this example includes an earring main body 2 and an elastic tool 10 attached to the earring main body 2.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the earring body 2 is composed of a shaft-like member bent in a C shape so that a gap 5 is formed between the both end portions 3 and 4, and the tip ends of the both end portions 3 and 4. The surface is formed in an arc shape, and one of the end portions 3 and 4 is formed with an enlarged diameter portion 3a (a region indicated by a one-dot chain line) bulging in the radial direction. .

  The elastic tool 10 is a member having elasticity and having a shape in which a part of a sphere is cut out. The mounting hole 12 is a non-through hole opened in the cutout surface 11, and the axis of the mounting hole 12. And two slit holes 13a and 13b that are opposed to each other while being open to the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole 12 are formed. The mounting hole 12 has an inner diameter D2 (see FIG. 3) smaller than a diameter D1 (see FIG. 2) of the enlarged diameter portion 3b at one end 3 of the earring body 2, and has two slit holes 13a and 13b. Is formed such that the length D3 (see FIG. 3) between the bottoms thereof is larger than the diameter D1 of the enlarged diameter part 3b. From the viewpoint of facilitating the insertion of the one end 3 into the mounting hole 12 and preventing the inserted one end 3 from falling off, the inner diameter D2 of the mounting hole 12 is the one end of the earring body 2. It is preferable that the diameter is 1/6 to 1/3 times the diameter D1 of the enlarged diameter portion 3a in the portion 3.

  Thus, the elastic member 10 is attached to the earring body 2 by inserting one end 3 of the earring body 2 into the mounting hole 12. In addition, the width of the gap 15 between the elastic device 10 and the other end 4 in the earring 1 can be selected from various elastic devices 10 having different sizes and depths of the mounting holes 12 according to the thickness of the wearer's ear. Adjust by attaching.

  Next, a procedure for attaching the earring 1 of the present example having the above configuration to the ear will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the fixing position of the earring 1 in the ear M is determined, and the gap 15 between the elastic tool 10 and the other end 4 is brought closer to the ear M from below the fixing position (see FIG. 4A). Next, the earring 1 is moved in the direction in which the ear M enters the ring of the earring 1 (see FIG. 4B). At this time, since the slit holes 13a and 13b are formed along the axis of the mounting hole 12, the elastic tool 10 swings in a direction intersecting the axis of the one end portion 3, and the arrow in FIG. The ear M gradually enters the ring of the earring 1 while the elastic tool moves in the direction of.

  Thereafter, the earring 1 is further moved, and the earring 1 is positioned at the fixed position (see FIG. 4C). In this way, the earring 1 is attached to the ear M while being fixed at the fixing position.

  As described above, the earring 1 of this example is configured so that the gap between the elastic device 10 and the other end portion 4 can be obtained simply by attaching the elastic device 10 having a different size or the depth of the mounting hole 12 to the one end portion 3. Since the width of 15 can be easily changed, it can be easily adapted to mounting on the ears M of various sizes. Furthermore, by providing the elastic tool 10 with the slit holes 13 a and 13 b along the axis of the attachment hole 12, it is easy to insert the one end 3 into the attachment hole 12. Swinging in a direction crossing the axis of the ear, the ear M can easily enter the ring of the earring 1, and while the elastic tool 10 moves, the ear M gradually enters the ring of the earring 1. Since the earring 1 can be smoothly moved to the predetermined fixed position even in a state where it is in contact with M, the mounting work of the earring 1 can be facilitated.

  In addition, the earring 1 is fixed to the ear M in a state where the ear M and the elastic device 10 are in contact with each other, and a relatively large frictional force acts between the ear M and the elastic device 10. It is possible to prevent the fixed earring 1 from falling off.

  As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, the aspect which this invention can take is not limited to this at all.

  For example, in the above example, the elastic tool 10 is attached only to the one end 3, but a diameter-enlarged portion may be similarly formed on the other end 4 to attach the elastic tool 10. Even if it does in this way, a suitable effect can be acquired.

  In the above example, the enlarged diameter portion 3 a is formed at the one end portion 3, but the enlarged diameter portion 3 a is not necessarily formed, and the one end portion 3 is inserted into the mounting hole 12 of the elastic tool 10. If possible.

  Furthermore, in this example, the shape of the elastic tool 10 is substantially spherical. However, when the elastic tool 10 is attached to the one end 3 of the earring body 2, the ear can be held between the elastic tool 10 and the other end 4. Any shape may be used as long as it has a shape.

  In the above example, two slit holes 13a and 13b are provided. However, the number of slit holes is not limited to this, and only one slit hole may be provided, or three or more slit holes may be provided. Anyway. If the number of slit holes is increased, the one end 3 of the earring body 2 inserted into the mounting hole 12 is likely to swing. However, if the number of slit holes is excessively increased, the one end 3 is removed from the mounting hole 12. It becomes easy to drop off. Therefore, it is preferable to provide a number of slit holes so that the one end portion 3 is easy to swing and difficult to drop off from the mounting hole 12.

  Furthermore, in the above example, the mounting hole 12 is a non-through hole, but the mounting hole 12 may be a through hole as long as the contact area with the ear can be appropriately secured.

  In the above example, the earring body 2 has a relatively simple shape bent in a C shape, but is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. The earring body 2 'may be used. The earring body 2 ′ is a shaft-like member that is bent so that a gap is formed between the one end 3 ′ side and the other end 4 ′ side, and is attached to the tip of the one end 3 ′. A spherical expanded portion 3a ′ is formed, and a decorative portion 4a ′ in which a shaft-like member is bent in a complicated manner is formed on the other end 4 ′ side. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, an elastic tool 10 is attached to one end 3 'of the earring body 2' to form an earring 1 '.

  Similarly, according to this earring 1 ', the ear 1' is fixed to the ear by moving the ear from the gap between the elastic device 10 and the other end 4 'and moving it to a predetermined fixing position. The Even if it does in this way, there exists a suitable effect similarly to the above.
