Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an accessory put on a human earlobe, etc.
  • accessories such as pierced earrings are configured by joining an accessory core part (such as a needle) to a basic accessory part, and a portion of the accessory core part, which penetrates into a wearing target (such as an earlobe), is held by a catch in normal cases.
  • a normal catch is made to prevent the accessory core part from falling out of the wearing target.
  • Patent Document 1 Japanese Examined Utility Model Application Publication No. HEI7-6809.
  • This accessory is configured by providing a basic accessory part having a diameter larger than that of the accessory core part at one end of the accessory core part, and a stop part also having a diameter larger than that of the accessory core part at the other end, and by omitting a catch.
  • Patent Document 1 Examined Utility Model Application Publication (???) No. HEI7-6809
  • the accessory according to the above described Patent Document 1 is fixed to a wearing target with the stop part having a diameter larger than the accessory core part.
  • the stop part since also the stop part once penetrates into the wearing target, it sometimes falls out of an earlobe. If the diameter of the stop part is made larger than the accessory core part in order to prevent this fall, there arises a problem such that the wearing target is injured, or the pierced earring does not become stable in the wearing target.
  • the stop part since the stop part has a protruding configuration, for example, the neck of a person positioned in the rear of the wearing target is injured in some cases. Even if attempts are made to provide a member which covers the stop part in order to overcome this problem, the stop part must be configured to have a diameter further larger than the insertion core part, and this is difficult.
  • It is an object of the present invention is to provide an accessory which prevents a fall, and enhances safety with a simple configuration in consideration of the above described conventional problems.
  • the accessory according to the present invention comprises a basic accessory part, an insertion part that is joined to the basic accessory part and inserted into a penetration hole provided in a wearing target, and a catch for holding a portion of the insertion part, which penetrates into the penetration hole.
  • the insertion part comprises an insertion core part one end of which is joined to the basic accessory part, and a stop part which is formed at the other end of the insertion core part and has a diameter larger than the insertion core part on a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the insertion core part.
  • the catch is made of an elastic material, and is configured to have an insertion hole part corresponding to the shapes of the stop part and the insertion core part extending from the stop part by a predetermined length.
  • the insertion hole part corresponding to the shapes of the stop part and the insertion core part extending from the stop part by the predetermined length are comprised, and the stop part is fixed to the catch made of an elastic material, whereby the stop part is easy to be inserted into the catch and difficult to fall. Accordingly, with the simple configuration, the accessory is prevented from falling out of a wearing target, and the stop part is prevented from injuring the neck of a person, an object, etc. positioned in the rear of the wearing target.
  • the stop part is configured to be almost ellipsoidal or almost semi-ellipsoidal.
  • the elastic material is silicone rubber.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an accessory according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 2A is a cross-sectional view showing an insertion part and a catch according to the preferred embodiment
  • FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view showing an insertion part and a catch according to a first modification example of the preferred embodiment
  • FIG. 2D is a cross-sectional view showing an insertion part and a catch according to a third modification example of the preferred embodiment.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the accessory according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the accessory 1 comprises a basic accessory part 2 , an insertion part 3 , and a catch 4 .
  • This accessory 1 is inserted into a penetration hole 5 a provided in a wearing target 5 .
  • the basic accessory part 2 is an accessory portion, which is positioned on the front side of the wearing target 5 , namely, positioned in a portion that is most visible in the accessory 1 .
  • the insertion part 3 comprises an insertion core part 3 a and a stop part 3 b .
  • One end of the insertion core part 3 a is joined to the basic accessory part 2 , for example, by being formed as a single-piece or by being welded.
  • the stop part 3 b which has a diameter L 2 larger than the diameter L 1 of the insertion core part 3 a on a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal direction A of the insertion core part 3 a , is provided at the other end of the insertion core part 3 a .
  • the stop part 3 b here is spherical in shape.
  • the catch 4 is made of an elastic material (such as silicone rubber), and an insertion hole part 4 a , which corresponds to the shapes of the stop part 3 b and the insertion core part 3 a extending from the stop part 3 b by a predetermined length, namely, which has the same shapes, is open.
  • This insertion hole part 4 a is open to an extent not to penetrate into the catch 4 in order to prevent the stop part 3 b from touching the neck of a person, etc. positioned in the rear of the wearing target.
  • the insertion part 3 (the stop part 3 b and a portion of the insertion core part 3 a ) is already inserted into the insertion hole part 4 a , and fits neatly.
  • the catch 4 is made of an elastic material. Therefore, even if the stop part 3 b having the larger diameter (diameter L 2 ) is inserted into the portion (diameter L 1 ) of the insertion hole part 4 a , which corresponds to the insertion core part 3 a , the insertion hole part 4 a once expands and restores to the original shape.
  • the insertion part 3 having a diameter larger than the diameter L 3 of the penetration hole 5 a shown in FIG. 1 can be penetrated without being damaged. Therefore, it is desirable to make the diameter L 2 of the stop part 3 b slightly larger than the diameter L 3 of the penetration hole 5 a.
  • the accessory 1 has a configuration where the insertion core part 4 a , which corresponds to the shapes of the stop part 3 b and the insertion core part 3 a extending from the stop part 3 b by a predetermined length, is comprised, and the stop part 3 b is fixed to the catch 4 made of an elastic material, whereby the stop part 3 is easy to be inserted into the catch 4 and difficult to fall. Accordingly, the accessory 1 is prevented from falling out of the wearing target 5 , and the stop part 3 b is prevented from injuring the neck of a person, an object, etc. positioned in the rear of the wearing target 5 with the simple configuration. Therefore, with the accessory 1 according to this preferred embodiment, its fall can be prevented and safety can be enhanced with the simple configuration.
  • the stop part 3 b is configured to be spherical in shape, whereby the stop part 3 b is easy to be inserted into the insertion hole part 4 a of the catch 4 , and the insertion hole part 4 a is difficult to be destroyed. Accordingly, the catch 4 can be used without daily trouble.
  • FIG. 2A is a cross-sectional view showing the insertion part and the catch according to the above described preferred embodiment.
  • FIGS. 2B to 2D are cross-sectional views showing insertion parts and catches according to modification examples of the above described preferred embodiment.
  • a stop part 23 b of an insertion part 23 which is shown in FIG. 2C , is ellipsoidal in shape.
  • This stop part 23 b is ellipsoidal in shape extending on a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal direction A of an insertion core part 23 a .
  • a stop part 33 b shown in FIG. 2D is semi-ellipsoidal in shape.
  • the stop part 33 b is semi-ellipsoidal in shape extending on a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal direction A of an insertion core part 33 a .
  • the accessory 1 is further prevented from falling out of catches 24 and 34 .
