[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pierce and its catch, which can be used not only as a stopper but also as a decorative part. One pierced earring with such a catch can use two types of decorative parts depending on clothes, places, etc., and is most suitable for fashionable clothes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, a conventional pierce has a decorative part 10 formed of an arbitrary material fixed to one end of a pin 11 and has a constricted portion 12 near the other end of the pin 11.
On the other hand, the catch 13 used for this piercing is provided with a through hole for inserting the pin 11 in the center of a thin metal plate, and both sides thereof are bent toward the center to form a spring member. The gap between the opposing spring members is narrowed. Therefore, when the pin 11 is inserted into the through hole of the catch 13 against the spring force, the constricted portion 1 of the pin 11 is
A spring member was fitted to 2 to lock the catch 13.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional pierce is constructed so that the catch is always on the back side of the earlobe.
The catch was exclusively for retaining the pin. In addition, many catches are made of metal, which may cause metal allergy due to contact with the earlobe. Further, if the spring member becomes loose, it may be dropped and lost.

The product of the present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional product, and allows the catch, which is structurally easy to assemble, to have not only a function as a stopper but also a function as a decorative part.
By attaching either the pin side decorative parts or the catch to the front side of the earlobe, it is intended to obtain a product that can be used properly according to the clothes and the atmosphere of the place when wearing the piercing.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, the present invention constructs a pierced earring by attaching a decorative catch to a pin having a decorative part at one end, It is possible to provide piercings in which two decorative parts such as a pin decorative part and a catch can be selectively used.

Further, the piercing catch is provided with a locking step portion on the inner peripheral surface of the through hole of the main body, and a plug having a brim portion which engages with the locking step portion at the opening end, is made of rubber, Made of elastic material such as soft synthetic resin and elastomer,
In addition, by providing a pin insertion path in the center of the plug and closing the opening end of the through hole on the brim side of the plug with a hard plastic or metal cap, a product that is easy to assemble and replace can be obtained. You can

[0007]

[Operation] Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the catch can be used as a decorative part by mounting it on the earlobe so that the catch is on the front side.
You can use two types of decorative parts, a pin decorative part and a catch, with one piercing.

Further, since the plug is made of an elastic material such as rubber or synthetic resin, the pin can be clamped by the strong restoring force in the tapered pin insertion path.

1 is an end view showing a state of use of a pierce according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an end view of the catch used in FIG.

1 is a spherical catch body made of synthetic resin,
A through hole having a locking step portion 2 is provided on the inner peripheral wall. 3 is a plug made of an elastic soft synthetic resin,
On the other hand, the outer peripheral edge has a brim portion 4, and the brim portion 4 and the locking step portion 2 are engaged with each other to insert and fit the plug 3 into the through hole of the catch body 1. Reference numeral 5 denotes a tapered pin insertion path provided in the center of the plug 3, which has a smaller diameter on the flange portion side than the inlet portion and holds the pin 6 of the pierce by a restoring force. Reference numeral 7 is a metal cap that covers the through hole of the catch body 1, and is fitted and bonded to the opening of the through hole, and the exposed portion is finished by plating or the like. In FIG. 1, 8 is a decorative part attached to one end of the pin 6, and 9 is an earlobe.

To assemble the catch, the plug 3 is inserted from the large-diameter opening of the through hole of the catch body 1, and the engaging step portion 2 of the through hole and the flange portion 4 of the plug 3 are engaged and mounted. After that, the cap 7 is fitted into the through hole and closed.

Next, since the end of the tapered pin insertion path 5 of the catch on the side where the brim portion is formed is formed to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the pin, the pin 6 having the decorative part 8 attached thereto has elasticity of the plug 3. By inserting against and further penetrating,
It can be fixed by the restoring force of the plug 3. Since the tip of the plug slightly projects from the catch body 1, the earlobe and the elastic tip of the plug come into contact with each other when the pierce is attached to the ear, and the feeling of use is good, and there is no risk of metal allergy.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the plug.
It is a structure in which the pin insertion path is closed without penetrating the end portion of the pin insertion path on the side where the flange is formed, and has a thickness that allows opening by the pressing force of the pin. When the pin is first attached to the catch, this plug penetrates the closed circuit portion by the pressing force of the pin and fixes the pin by the restoring force.

The catch body 1 has sufficient decorativeness as a decorative part and may be made of any material capable of forming a through hole. In addition to synthetic resin, natural stone, imitation gemstone, artificial gemstone, wood, bamboo, Pottery may be used. The plug 3 may be formed of rubber, elastomer, or the like as long as it has elasticity, and is not limited to soft synthetic resin. Also,
The cap 7 may be made of hard plastic, wood or the like, and the exposed portion of the cap 7 may be further decorated.

[0015]

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, one piercing member can be used for both the decorative part of the pin and the catch.
Not only can you use different types of decorative parts, but you can also enjoy different designs by replacing the catches with different decorations.

Since the catch itself has a fitting structure, it is easy to assemble and replace parts in manufacturing, the plug itself has elasticity, and the pin inserted against the elasticity can be held with a strong restoring force. , There is no risk that the catch will fall out of the pin. Further, even if the tip of the plug comes into contact with the earlobe, it has a practical effect such that metal allergy does not occur.
