Description of the utility model.

Currently there is a standard French lock, in which the clasp remains protruding and quite sharp (Fig. 5).

In the proposed version, the earring on a French lock looks like a hook, which is threaded through a puncture in the earlobe, and then the edge of the hook is inserted into a hook at the bottom of the product, in our case it is a rounded “house” groove.

The French lock with a “house” is elegant, light and comfortable, does not scratch the skin. The risk of losing an earring is minimal. Earrings with a French lock are recommended for use by children and those who have recently had a piercing, since in such earrings, due to their mobility, the hole will heal faster.

Earrings with a French lock are very convenient and easy to put on even for a small child: the tip of the loop is carefully inserted into the puncture, then the earring is lowered down so that the decorative cast is below the lobe, the tip of the loop is inserted into the rounded groove on the earring and is securely fixed in it.

These earrings are light, do not feel on the ear, do not cause discomfort when worn, and due to the additional fixing element - the groove - “house”, they are safe and reliable to wear, since the sharp tip of the loop is hidden and will not scratch the child’s skin.

The “house” fixing element is a rounded metal ball with a groove in which the tip of the loop is fixed due to an additional barrier in the “house”. The groove follows the shape of the tip of the loop.

Earrings on a French castle with a “house” can be made in both gold and silver. The insert can be precious, semi-precious, or synthetic.

The purpose of the utility model: The French lock with a “house” solves the problem of protruding and sharp parts in the earring; the clasp is fixed in a specially designed ball house. The French lock is the most popular lock in the children's assortment, so this useful model is very important for wearing safety.

The technical result is: in order to avoid sharp structural elements in children's products, the French lock has been improved. The loop is wound into a special ball-house. The principle of operation of the lock does not differ from the operation of a standard lock; its ergonomics, appearance and wearing safety are different.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that a French “house” type lock-fastener is proposed, which is a rounded metal ball with a groove in which the tip of the loop is fixed due to an additional barrier in the “house”, while the groove repeats the shape of the tip of the elongated rounded loop , and an additional barrier is a part of the groove that has a small “influx” of metal that covers the tip of the loop in the “house”.

A standard French lock is fastened by inserting the clasp into a loop, leaving the clasp visible and tactile. When designing a French castle with a “house”, the clasp is inserted directly into the house; this is easy to do, since from the side of the insert into the hole, the clasp is fixed and does not protrude.
