Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pierced earring having a stud that passes through a hole formed in an earlobe, and to a detachable decoration device for a pierced earring having a decoration at an end of the stud.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to use a pierced earring, it is necessary to make a hole in an earlobe, and until the hole becomes skin, usually a piercing needle is attached in a pierced state for about one month. Must be kept. Therefore, the designed piercing cannot be worn for about one month. During this time, the user must endure with a simple form of decoration, such as a sphere, attached to the piercing needle.
For piercing needles, see, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-3476.
No. 1 and the like.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and has as its object to pierce a decoration of a desired design without straddling the skin of a hole formed in an earlobe. It is to be able to use it for a model earring. Another object of the present invention is to facilitate replacement by making the ornament removable.

[0004]

An object of the present invention is to provide a pierced earring, in which a stud is provided at one end with a bulge having a diameter larger than the diameter of the stud, and has a convex portion and a concave portion which are detachable by engagement. A solution is provided by means of providing means on the bulge and the ornament attached thereto.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A detachable decoration device according to the present invention comprises:
The present invention is applied to a pierced earring having a stud 10 that passes through a hole formed in an earlobe and has a decoration 20 at an end of the stud 10.

[0006] The stud 10 is of a straight shaft shape which can be inserted into an earlobe and which can be provided with a decoration 20 at one end and a stopper from the earlobe at the other end. The other end has a sharp tip 11 when the stud 11 is a piercing needle, and an engagement portion 12 for attaching a catch 13 is provided in front of the sharp tip. However, the present invention is applicable to other than piercing needles,
The other end of such a stud 10 does not need a sharp tip.

At one end of the stud 10, a stud 10
The bulge 14 having a larger diameter than the shaft diameter is provided. This bulge 14
Serves as a base for mounting the ornament 20 described later, and at the same time, functions as a stopper for the earlobe. Such a stud 10 can be made of metal such as stainless steel, titanium or brass, ceramic or plastic.

The ornament 20 serves as the center of a pierced earring and can have any shape and structure.
In order to attach the ornament 20 to the stud 10 in a detachable manner, attachment / detachment means 30 having a convex portion 31 and a concave portion 32 detachable by engagement are provided on the protuberance 14 and the ornament 20 attached thereto. The attachment / detachment means 30 may employ a screw structure 33 together with the above-mentioned protrusion 31 and recess 32 which can be engaged with each other.

Hereinafter, a specific description will be given with reference to the drawings. The first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 uses a cap-shaped member 21 fitted on the outer side of the bulge 14, has a partially annular spring ring 34 as a projection 31, and the above-described spring ring as a recess 32. Concave grooves 35 and 36 in which the groove 34 is fitted are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the bulge 14 and the inner peripheral surface of the opening of the cap-shaped member 21 respectively. The petal-shaped decoration 20 is attached to the closed end of the cap-shaped member 21 by, for example, brazing or the like.

The second embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 uses a crown member 22 attached to the outside of the bulge 14, and the crown member 22 has several leg pieces 23. The engaging groove 24 formed on the outer side of the leg piece and the cut-out annular spring ring 37 are used as the convex portion 32, and the same concave groove 35 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the bulge 14.
The decoration 20 is detachably integrated with the stud 10. The decoration 20 of this example 2 is also attached to the crown member 20 by brazing when it has metal washers as in example 1.

In a third embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a concave groove 38 is formed as a concave portion 32 on the outer periphery of the bulge 14, and the inner edge of the ring 25 engageable with at least the upper half of the concave groove 38. This is an example in which the convex portion 31 is used. An arc-shaped decorative piece is integrated with the upper part of the ring 25, and constitutes a hanging decoration 20 which swings for balancing. The diameter of the inner edge of the ring 25 is preferably substantially the same as or less than the outer diameter of the concave groove portion of the bulge 14.

In a fourth embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a part of the channel-type engaging member 26 of the third embodiment, in which a part of the ring is cut off, is used as the projection 31. Are provided with retaining projections 26a at both ends. The recess 32 may be exactly the same as the recess 38 of the third embodiment. The decoration 20 of this example 4 has a second decoration 20 'made of pearl or the like.

Embodiment 5 shown in FIG. 9 and FIG.
The outer surface itself of the spherical bulge 14 is used as a concave portion, and a concave holding piece 27a for holding the spherical surface from both sides as a concave portion 32,
A substantially channel-shaped holder 27 having 27a on both sides is used. Reference numeral 27b indicates a retaining member.

Embodiment 6 shown in FIG. 11 and FIG.
4, a concave portion 32 is provided at the outer end portion, and a convex portion 31 engageable with the concave portion 32 is formed with a magnet and fixed to the concave portion 32.
An attraction piece that attracts to the magnet is provided on the cap-shaped member and fixed. The decoration 20 is integrated with the cap-shaped member 21, and the bulge 14 partially enters into the opening of the decoration 20 to cover and hide the detachable portion.

Embodiment 7 shown in FIG. 13 and FIG.
4 is further formed with a female screw portion 29a in the concave portion 32 provided therein, and a screw portion 29b is formed in the convex portion 31 provided in the decoration 20.
Is formed and fixed by screwing. While Embodiments 1 to 6 are of the one-touch detachable type, Embodiment 7 is surely fixed while screwing is required. The decoration 20 'can have a specially designed decoration 20 "along with pearls and other cobblestones.

[0016]

The present invention is constructed and operated as described above, so that even if a stud is being used as a piercing needle, a desired design can be made without irritating the skin of the earlobe hole. Decorations can be used, and because the decorations are detachable, it is easy to change the decorations of your favorite design from time to time, which is efficient not only for the user but also for the manufacturer. This is advantageous in that good production and inventory management can be performed.
