BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to earrings that are attached to ears for decoration.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is an essential desire of human beings, especially women, to compete for beauty by wearing ornaments, and various ornaments attached to ears, fingers, wrists, hair, etc. have been known since ancient times. Earrings and earrings are known as ornaments worn on the ears.

The earring is attached to the ear by sandwiching the earlobe from both front and back sides and frictional force of the earlobe. For example, the earring is attached to the ear by inserting the end of the screw rod screwed into the female screw of the earring body, sandwiching the earlobe between the earring bodies, or a leaf spring-like sandwich plate, and the earlobe sandwiched between the earring bodies. . The screw rod and the sandwich plate are provided on the back side of the earring body and are hidden by the earlobe when the earring is attached to the ear.

Earrings are attached without modification to the earlobe. On the other hand, the pierced earring has a small hole in the earlobe in advance, and the pin extending from the pierce body is passed through this small hole from the front side of the earlobe, and the pin is stoppered on the back side of the earlobe.
I put on the pierced earrings and put them on my ears.

By using the earrings and piercings in this manner, the design of the earring body and the design decoration attached to the piercing body are located on the surface of the earlobe, which creates an aesthetic atmosphere.

[0006]

Since the pierce is attached to the ear through the small hole, the pierce is securely attached without dropping or losing from the earlobe.

However, a small hole must be formed in the ear lobe for attaching the piercing. And because of the fear of drilling a stoma, the stoma cannot be drilled, and
Many women cannot wear piercings.

Further, even if a small hole is opened, the metal pin of the piercing body is passed through the small hole, so the component of the pin enters the earlobe through the small hole, and depending on the constitution, discolors the earlobe or the entire ear. It may cause obstacles such as letting go.

Further, if the pierce is not always attached, the small hole is closed, and therefore the pierce or a substitute thereof must be always passed through the small hole.

On the other hand, the earring is attached without making a hole in the earlobe and does not have the above-mentioned drawbacks. However, since the earrings are attached with the frictional force between the earlobe as the supporting force (wearing force), they drop off,
May be lost.

For this reason, the earrings to which expensive precious metals such as diamonds are attached are attached when necessary and are removed immediately when they are no longer needed because of fear of falling off or loss. There is a problem of trouble.

Further, since the earring is supported by the frictional force between the earlobe, the frictional force cannot support the earring when the earring becomes heavy. Therefore, the weight of the earring is limited, and it is difficult to form a luxurious earring with various decorations.

The object of the present invention is to provide an earring in which the disadvantages inherent in the conventional structure are eliminated while maintaining the advantage over the piercing.

[0014]

In order to achieve this object, in the present invention, the device is not supported by the frictional force with the earlobe, but is engaged with the bulging portion above the earlobe, and has a substantially C-shaped opening. A notch is provided in the earring. The cutout opening is
The width is such that the thin portion of the outer edge of the ear can be inserted and the bulging portion above the earlobe can be engaged.

[0015]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, an earring 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention has a notch 12,
The notch is formed in a substantially C shape having an opening 14. For example, the notch 12 has a circular shape, and the opening is formed so as to be located at the center of the height H of the side where the notch 12 is located. The diameter of the notch 12 is, for example, 20 to 25 mm.

The surface 18a on which the opening is located serves as a surface for sandwiching the ears from the front and back, and is therefore as thin as possible (see FIG. 3).
reference). On the other hand, one of the surfaces 18b and 18c on which the notch 12 is formed (these surfaces are the inner surface or the outer surface), for example, the surface 18b is a curve corresponding to the cheek curve, and the surface 18
A suitable curve is attached to surface 18c in relation to b (Fig. 2).
reference). These surfaces 18b and 18c are not surfaces in the front direction, but are external surfaces and surfaces that attract the attention of the other party, so that these surfaces are also decorated with a design. In addition, the surfaces 18d and 18e on both sides following the surface 18a where the opening is located are front surfaces (front surfaces).
Since these are the surfaces that face, the maximum design decoration is applied to these surfaces.

By the way, as is well known, the ear 20 has a bank-like bulge 22 above the earlobe 21, which is not shown in FIG. In comparison, it is harder and is curved upward. Normally, the bulging portion 22 tends to gradually become thinner as it goes upward, and the one-third lowest portion is the thinnest portion.

The opening 14 of the notch is larger than the thin portion 26 of the outer edge of the ear and smaller than the thickness of the bulging portion 22 above the ear lobe, that is, the thin portion of the outer edge of the ear is inserted and the upper ear lobe is inserted. The width is such that it can be engaged with the bulging portion.

For example, face 18 of the left earring 10 in FIG.
Assume that e is attached to the left ear as the front (front).
Then, if the opening 14 has the width as described above, the surface 18b is a top surface and a surface 18b as shown by a dashed line in FIG.
When the opening 14 is pressed against the thin portion 26 of the outer edge of the ear from the direction orthogonal to the ear 20 with 18e as the front surface, the edges 14a and 14b of the opening are inserted through the thin portion 26 and enter the inside of the ear. Then pull it downwards and the edge 14b of the opening will
14a are engaged with the bulges 22 from the back, and the earrings
10 is attached to the left ear 20.

At this time, the surface 18e is located on the front surface and is the most conspicuous surface, and the surface 18b is the outer surface, and the aesthetic effect is enhanced by the decorative decoration of these surfaces. Needless to say, another earring 10 is attached to the right ear.

As mentioned above, the earrings 10 of this invention
Is inserted through the thin wall portion 26, engages with the thick bulge 22 and is attached to the ear. Such earrings 10
In, even if the earring is pulled downward, it cannot be removed from the ear 20 by being hindered by the bulging portion 22, and even if pulled to the side, it still hits the bulging portion and cannot be removed. In other words, the earring 10 cannot be removed from the ear 20 unless the earring 10 is pulled up and returned to the thinned portion 26 which is approximately one-third from the bottom, which is the insertion position, and pulled to the side.

As described above, the earring 10 cannot be removed unless a series of different operations of pulling upward and pulling to the side are involved. Therefore, while the conventional earrings that use the frictional force between the earlobe and the supporting force (wearing force) are easily dropped and lost, the earrings 10 are dropped,
There is almost no risk of loss. Therefore, even the expensive earring 10 to which an expensive precious metal such as diamond is attached can be left attached for a long time without fear of falling off or loss, and is released from repeated mounting and removal.

Further, the frictional force between the earlobe is not used as a supporting force (wearing force), and the bulging portion 22 of the earring 10 engaged with is thick and hard, which is the most robust portion of the ear 20. , The fairly heavy earring 10 can be attached without any problem. Therefore, in the conventional earring, a bulky design decoration that cannot be attached to the ear can be embodied by the earring of the present invention, and a luxurious earring that has never been obtained can be obtained.

Since no small hole is made in the earlobe like piercing, no trouble such as discoloration of the earlobe or the entire ear occurs, and even people who hesitate to attach the earrings 10 Can be installed without any trouble.

In the mounting example shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the edge 14b of the opening is engaged with the bulging portion 22 from the front side and the edge 14a from the back side. However, if the thin portion 26 of the ear is inserted with the surface 18d as the front surface (front surface), as shown in FIG.
From the front, the edge 14b is engaged with the bulge 22 from the back. Then, the surface 18d becomes the front surface and the surface 18c becomes the outer surface, and the design decoration of these surfaces attracts attention.

In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the pair of earrings 10 are formed asymmetrically when viewed from the front (front), so that one earring is attached to the right ear and the left ear. When attached to the ear, it gives a different aesthetic appearance. Therefore, two different aesthetic atmospheres can be obtained by changing the attached ears, and two different aesthetic atmospheres can be obtained by changing the front and back of the earrings as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. In other words, the pair of earrings 10 provides four different aesthetic atmospheres, and you can enjoy wearing them in four ways.

As shown by the hidden lines in FIG. 1, if the earring 10 is hollowed out except for the edges to reduce the weight, a large amount of weight can be distributed to the design decoration.

In the embodiment, the cutout 12 is formed in a circular shape, but the shape of the cutout is not limited to a circular shape, and other shapes,
For example, it may be a vertically or horizontally long ellipse. Also,
Although the outer shape of the earring 10 is substantially triangular, it may be another shape such as a quadrangle.

The above-mentioned embodiments are intended to explain the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way. The present invention includes all those which are modified or modified within the technical scope of the present invention. It goes without saying that it will be done.

[0031]

As described above, according to the earring of the present invention, the earring cannot be removed unless a series of different operations of pulling upward and pulling to the side are involved.
There is almost no danger of falling off or loss. for that reason,
It can be left attached for a long time without fear of falling off or loss, and can be released from repeated installation and removal.

Further, since it does not depend on the frictional force between the earlobe and is attached to the bulging part which is the most robust part of the ear, it can embody a bulky design decoration and can obtain a luxurious earring that has never existed before. To be

Since no small hole is formed in the earlobe like piercings, it can be worn by a wide range of people without causing any trouble such as discoloration of the earlobe or the entire ear.

Further, if the pair of earrings is formed asymmetrically when viewed from the front, the pair of earrings is
You can get four different aesthetics and enjoy wearing four different ways.
