Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an earhook, and more specifically, to a novel accessory that can be attached to a portion of a person's outer ear from the mouth end to the lower end of the earlobe.

[Prior art and its problems] Earrings have been known for a long time as accessories worn on the human ear.

The way to wear these earrings is to hold them in place by sandwiching the earlobe from both the front and back sides.

As a drying and locking means, a clamping type using a screw, an elastic material, etc. is generally used.

However, such conventional earrings have the following drawbacks.

(b) Since the earlobe is held in place, the feeling of pressure increases over time, and depending on the weight and shape of the ornament being hung, the feeling of pressure may gradually turn into a feeling of pain. For this reason, the decorative bodies used are limited to those that are extremely lightweight, and the range of design options is extremely limited.

(b) As mentioned above, it is attached to the earlobe using screws and springs, which is cumbersome to attach, and if the pressure applied to the earlobe is too strong, it may cause pain to the earlobe. If the stop pressure is weakened, even the slightest movement can easily cause the earrings to fall out of the ear, which can be an inconvenience if you use expensive jewelry for earrings, as you will have to be very careful all the time. .

Therefore, it is difficult for people who have a strong preference for genuine items or people who are at an unnatural age to wear imitations to use earrings.

(c) A clamping means such as a spring clamp or a screw clamp is required to lock the earlobe, but it is difficult to downsize this part and this increases the constraints on the overall design.

To address these shortcomings of earrings, earrings were devised, but as is well known, these earrings are designed to lock accessories by inserting a locking pin directly into the earlobe.

(b) Accidents such as falling or losing accessories can be prevented, but (1) it is impossible to wear heavy items as they increase the burden on the earlobes and cause pain.
The selectivity will be greatly reduced.

(b) Since the device directly pierces the earlobe, it causes psychological as well as physiological pain, and some people may not wear it at all.

[Summary of the invention] This invention was made to solve the problems of conventional ear accessories such as earrings and pierced earrings. , a connecting body whose one end is fixed to the main body and whose other end is locked to the substantially lower end of the earlobe, and a decorative body that is attached to an appropriate position on this connecting body, so it is easy to wear and does not fall off. The objective is to provide an accessory for ear hooks that does not have the risk of being lost and can dramatically increase the freedom of choice of accessories since it does not cause any pain when worn, even if the ornament is larger and heavier. That is.

In this invention, the main body fits into the bottom of the oral end of the outer ear,
The connecting body fixed to the main body is designed to lock the lower part of the earlobe at its lower end, so the ornament attached to the connecting body is supported at the bottom of the mouth end of the outer ear via the main body. Therefore, even if the weight of the decoration increases somewhat, the decoration can be hung without any pain.

[Embodiments of the invention] The present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.
