EABFRING.
Speciflcation of Letters ratent.
Patented July 30, 1912.
Application filed September 6, 1907. Serial No. 391,718.
To' all 'whom z't may concem Be `it known that I, THEoDoR EBERHARD KNoLL, a subject of the German Emperor,
' residing at Pforzheim, Baden, in Germany,
have invented certain new and useful Improvements -in Bar-Rings, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to ear-rings of that class which may be applied to unpierced ears and which comprise a clip or the like having shanks or members adapted to grip the ear. The novelty lies in the combination of two shanks the bodyof one of these being of eurved form, forming together an ear-ring in the shape of a horseshoe, one of saidshanks being pivoted to the other at one side thereof and under the pressure of a spring tending to bring the outer ends of the legs toward each other this movement being limited by the contact of the spring against a shoulden The free ends of the shanks are provided at the inside with enlarged and laterally extending corrugated. or roughened 'projectionsv by which an effective attachment of the earring to the ear lobe is obtained. The pivoted shank can be closed or opened on applying or removing the ear-'ring respectively.
Figures. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawing show the ear-ring closed 1n front and side view respectively, and Fig. 3 shows a frontview of the ear-ring in the opened position. The figures are drawn to an enlarged scale for sake of clearness.
The ear-ring comprises the eurved shanks a and b of which the shank a has a curved body prolonged at one end thereof so that the shank a as a whole is longer than the shank b, the latter being pivoted at g to the end of the body of the shank a, that is to say, at one side of the ear-ring as a whole. The end of member a is prolonged beyond the pivot g and has at the extremity of its inner face a recess h termi'nating in a shoulder i. Within the shank b is a leaf spring o which bears near to its end in the recess h and is of such length that its end contacts with. the shoulder z' when the ear ringis in its closed position and thus limits the approach of the members to one an? other. The shank` b is under the action of a spring c, mounted within the shank b inV such a manner as to cause the free ends of 'the shanks to be forced toward each other to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is :---l
An ear ring of the class described, comprising two members pivoted to one another, one member having a portion projeeting beyond the pivotand having a shouldered recess on the inner side of the end of said portion, and a leaf spring attaehed to the other member and having bearing in said recess and tending to hold the ear ring contrac'ted, the end of the spring contaeting with the shoulder of the recess when the ear ring is contracted, therebfy limitmg the app'roach of the free ends o to one another.
In witness whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
