Specifically, FIG. 1 is a front view of the earring, FIG. 2 is a rear view of the earring, FIG. 3 is a left side view of the earring, and FIG. 4 is a right side view of the earring. 5 is a plan view of the earring and FIG. 6 is a bottom view of the earring.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the earring 1 is attached to a fastener 2 which is generally U-shaped as a whole by bending a thin thread-like metal and attached to the tip of the fastener 2 on the front side. and a spherical ornament 3.
In this embodiment, the ornament 3 is formed in a spherical shape and is attached to the front end of the fastener 2, but the ornament may have a shape other than this. may be installed in the position of For example, it may be used as an ornament by attaching a jewel to the fastener via a chain.

The fastener 2 has a front contact portion 21 formed at the end on the front side and a back contact portion 22 formed at the end on the back side and cooperating with the front contact portion 21 to sandwich the earlobe. and The fastener 2 is fixed to the earlobe by sandwiching the earlobe from the front and back with the front contact portion 21 and the back contact portion 22 . In other words, the fastener 2 is formed in a curved shape extending from the front contact portion 21 (the front surface of the earlobe) to the back contact portion 22 (the back surface of the earlobe) through the downward direction. The fastener 2 is formed so that the front-rear contact portion 21 and the back-rear contact portion 22 have the narrowest front-rear spacing compared to the front-rear spacing at other portions.

The front abutting portion 21 is a portion that abuts on the front of the earlobe, which is formed in a substantially disc shape with a convex spherical back surface, and is provided along the curved shape of the fastener 2 . The rear surface of the front contact portion 21 functions as a contact surface that makes surface contact with the front surface of the earlobe.
The rear contact portion 22 is a portion that contacts the rear surface of the earlobe, which is formed in a substantially disc shape with a convex spherical front surface, and is provided along the curved shape of the fastener 2 . The front surface of the back contact portion 22 functions as a contact surface that makes surface contact with the back surface of the earlobe. The area of the contact surface of the back contact portion 22 is larger than the area of the contact surface of the front contact portion 21 .

The fastener 2 also includes a biasing portion 23 formed between the front contact portion 21 and the back contact portion 22 .
The urging portion 23 urges the front contact portion 21 and the back contact portion 22 in a direction to approach each other by forming the fastener 2 in the shape of a helical spring whose axial direction is the lateral direction of the earlobe. The urging portion 23 is formed at a position on the back contact portion 22 side.

Here, since the biasing portion 23 is formed at a position on the back contact portion 22 side, the distance between the biasing portion 23 and the back contact portion 22 is equal to that of the biasing portion 23 and the front contact portion. The force applied from the rear contact portion 22 to the earlobe is greater than the force applied from the front contact portion 21 to the earlobe. In the present embodiment, the area of the contact surface of the back contact portion 22 is larger than the area of the contact surface of the front contact portion 21, so that the front contact portion 21 and the back contact portion 22 are attached to the earlobe. The applied force per unit area can be made substantially constant. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the earring 1 can increase the force of pinching the earlobe without impairing the feeling of wearing.

FIG. 7 is a front view of the earring 1 worn on the earlobe. FIG. 8 is a view of the earring 1 worn on the earlobe as viewed from the rear side.

Here, since the urging portion 23 is formed at a position on the back contact portion 22 side, when the earring 1 is viewed from the front, the urging portion 23 can be hidden by the earlobe so as to be inconspicuous. can do.

According to this embodiment, the following functions and effects can be obtained.
(1) In the earring 1, the front contact portion 21 that contacts the front surface of the earlobe and the rear contact portion 22 that contacts the back surface of the earlobe and sandwiches the earlobe in cooperation with the front contact portion 21 are brought close to each other. Since the urging portion 23 that urges in the direction is provided, the force of pinching the earlobe can be increased. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the earring 1 from falling off from the earlobe and to prevent the earring 1 from being lost.

(2) Since the urging portion 23 can be formed by processing the shape of the fastener 2 into a coiled spring shape, the construction of the fastener 2 can be simplified. Further, since the urging portion 23 is formed in the shape of a helical spring whose axial direction is the left-right direction of the earlobe, the urging portion 23 is retained against an external force acting in the direction of separating the front contact portion 21 and the back contact portion 22 . The tool 2 can be made difficult to deform.
(3) When the earring 1 is fixed to the earlobe, the biasing portion 23 is positioned behind the earlobe, so that the biasing portion 23 can be hidden by the earlobe when the earring 1 is viewed from the front. You can, and you can make it inconspicuous. Therefore, the design and fashionability of the earring 1 can be improved.

(4) Since the front contact portion 21 and the rear contact portion 22 have contact surfaces that make surface contact with the earlobe, the force applied to the earlobe when the earring 1 is fixed to the earlobe can be dispersed. Therefore, even if the force that pinches the earlobe increases due to the action of the urging portion 23, the force applied to the earlobe can be reduced, and the pain of the earlobe can be alleviated. Further, by increasing the area of the contact surface, the frictional force between the front contact portion 21 and the back contact portion 22 and the earlobe can be increased. As a result, the earring 1 can be made more difficult to fall off from the earlobe, and the earring 1 can be made more difficult to lose.
