DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its gist is to provide a decorative main body attached to the front of the earlobe, an earlobe pressing portion, and connect the earlobe pressing portion between them. And a pivoting means for providing contact resistance at the connecting shaft support portion as the earlobe pressing portion is rotated to a position for pressing the earlobe with respect to the rotational movement of the earlobe pressing portion. The present invention relates to the structure of a clip-type earring, which is characterized by being provided.

[0006] Preferably, in the shaft attaching means, one of the connecting shaft supporting portion is a bifurcated female portion and the other is a bifurcated female portion, and the other is a male portion, and the male portion is inserted into the bifurcated female portion and penetrates the bifurcated female portion. The structure is rotatably supported by a pin,
More specifically, in order to impart contact resistance, an angle of 2 to 7 degrees in the direction of rotational movement to the position where the earlobe pressing portion of the earlobe pressing portion presses the earlobe pressing portion at any of the contact portions between the bifurcated female portion side and the male portion. The angle θ may be formed in advance, or may be formed by caulking at the time of connecting the connecting shaft supporting portion or the like.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention include:
The ornament main body and the earlobe pressing portion are rotatably attached at the connecting portion, and the attaching means is provided with a contact resistance between the connecting shaft supporting portions. Specifically, the ornament main body side is parallel to the bifurcated female. And a connecting shaft supporting portion is formed as a male portion on the earlobe pressing portion side, and a flat surface is formed at an angle of 2 to 3 degrees in the direction of rotational movement to the position where the earlobe pressing portion presses the earlobe. It is a thing. Then, the male portion on the earlobe pressing portion side is inserted into the bifurcated female portion, these are penetrated by a pin, and both ends of this pin are caulked to be connected.

Therefore, when the earlobe pressing portion is rotated, the male portion is fitted into the bifurcated female portion from the narrow side, so that the contact resistance can be gradually given. As a result, the earlobe pressing portion holds the rotated position. As described above, the force for pinching the earlobe is arbitrarily selected when the earring is worn, and there is a feature that the ear is not hurt even when worn for a long time.

Usually, the surface of the male portion or the opposing surface of the bifurcated female portion which constitutes the connecting shaft supporting portion has an angle θ of 2 to 7 degrees with respect to the rotational movement direction, preferably 2 to 5 degrees. It is a clip-type earring structure that is configured with an angle θ, and is connected with a pin and crimped. With this angle θ, the contact resistance that presses the earlobe will be sufficiently generated over a long period of time.If this angle is small, the frictional resistance will not be sufficient, and if this angle is too large, biting will occur during rotational movement. It may occur and is not so preferable. This angle θ may be attached to the male part or the bifurcated female part in advance,
Further, the angle θ can be set on the bifurcated female portion side by adjusting the force applied when the pin is crimped. In the present invention, the number of parts for the clip is particularly small,
For example, a leaf spring or the like is not needed, and the cost can be reduced.

EXAMPLES The clip type earrings of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples. FIG. 1 is a side view showing a first embodiment of the earring of the present invention, and is a side view when the earlobe pressing portion is wide open. 2 is an exploded enlarged view of the connecting portion, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the relationship between the connecting shaft supporting portions of FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a decoration main body, 2 is a frame portion brazed on the upper and lower sides of the back surface of the decoration main body 1, and a bridge 3 is brazed below the frame portion 2. The tips of the bridge 3 are bifurcated female portions 4 and 4 having parallel inner surfaces, and pin holes 5 are formed in the bifurcated female portions 4 and 4. A circular hole 7 is formed in the upper end of the earlobe pressing portion 6, and a rubber material 8 is fitted therein. On the other hand, a male portion 10 for connection is formed at the lower end of the earlobe pressing portion 6, and the pin hole 1
1 is perforated. Then, the male portion 10 at the lower end of the earlobe pressing portion 6 is inserted between the bifurcated female portions 4 and 4 and supported by a pin 12 so that the pin 12 can be swaged to rotate the earlobe pressing portion 6. The present invention is completed. In the figure, the earlobe pressing portion 13 is brazed above the frame portion 2.

In this example, a pin 12 is inserted between the bifurcated female portions 4 and 4 as a shaft attaching means for providing a contact resistance.
The front end portion 10A of the male portion 10 pivotally supported by the front end portion 10A has a surface with an angle θ in advance on both sides (or one side surface), and as shown in FIG.
The 10 _A1 side of is wide. Therefore, as the earlobe pressing portion 6 rotates (arrow side), the pin 12 of the male portion 10 is fitted into the bifurcated female portions 4 and 4 from the narrower side 10 _A2 of the outer portion 10A and gradually widens. The side 10 _A1 will be fitted. Therefore, the contact resistance between the two gradually increases, and this is maintained at the position where the earlobe pressing portion 6 is rotated. Therefore, the earlobe is always pinched with a constant force when it is attached to the earlobe, and the force for pinching the earlobe can be adjusted to a desired strength.

In the above-mentioned example, the bifurcated female portions 4 and 4 are formed on the side of the decorative body 1 and the male portion 10 is formed on the side of the earlobe pressing portion 6 to form the connecting shaft supporting portion. Of course, it is possible to reverse the relationship so as to configure the connecting shaft supporting portion that provides the contact resistance.

FIG. 4 is a partially enlarged side view of another example of shaft attachment means for providing the contact resistance of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a front view of the tips of the bifurcated female portions 4 and 4. Needless to say, as described above, the bifurcated female portions 4 and 4 and the male portion 10 may be configured on either the decorative body side or the earlobe pressing portion side. By the way, in this example, as shown in the drawing, the facing surface (hatched portion a) of the tip end portion 4 _A of the bifurcated female portion 4, 4 is more than the pin 12 of the bifurcated female portion 4, 4.
Is preliminarily provided with an angle θ, and this is pivotally attached by a pin 12. The 4 _A1 side of the tip portion 4 _A , that is, the side with a wide interval is the fitting side of the male portion 10, and 4 _A2 is the side with a narrow interval. Therefore, the male portion 10 is gradually fitted into the narrower side as it rotates (arrow), and the contact resistance between the male portion 10 and the male portion 10 gradually increases, so that the earlobe can be reliably sandwiched.

The angle θ of the inner surfaces of the bifurcated female portions 4 and 4 facing each other may be preformed as in the above-mentioned example, but the slanted line portion a of the bifurcated female portions 4 and 4 is added to the pin 12. It is also possible to swage this portion during the tightening work so that the inner surface has an angle θ.

Further, the portion where the inner surfaces of the bifurcated female portions 4 and 4 have the angle θ is not limited to the above-mentioned hatched portion a, and as shown in FIG. 6, the male portion 10 is located inside the portion of the pin 12. It is also possible to form the inner surface of the portion 4 _B (the hatched portion b) into which the tip 10A of the above is fitted to have an angle θ in advance, or to make the angle θ by caulking this portion. Of course, the 4 _B2 side is the side with a narrow interval. 7 is a sectional view of the main part of FIG.

FIG. 8 is a side view showing another example of the clip type earring of the present invention, FIG. 9 is a front view of the tip of a bifurcated female portion, FIG. 10 is a front view of the tip of a male portion, and FIG. 11 is a bifurcated female portion and a male portion. It is sectional drawing at the time of fitting with. Now, in this example, the shape of the decoration body 1 side and the shape of the earlobe pressing portion 6 side are substantially the same, and it is configured so as to be easily attached to the earlobe. The intervals are the same, but male part 1
An angle θ is previously formed on the tip 10A of 0,
The earring is completed by connecting both with the pin 12. However, as in the example of FIGS. 1 to 3, the male portion 10 rotates in the direction of the arrow to gradually fit into the bifurcated female portions 4 and 4 from the narrow side 10 _A2 of the tip 10A of the male portion 10, The side 10 _{A1 having} a wider width sequentially comes into strong contact with the contact side, contact resistance is generated there, and the contact resistance gradually increases, which is maintained at the position where the earlobe pressing portion 6 is rotated. Therefore, the earlobe is always pinched with a constant force when it is attached to the earlobe.
