Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a non-piercing type earring which is improved to be easy to put on and take off without piercing the earlobe, and more particularly, to a non-piercing type earring that is provided with a handle part for opening and closing the non-piercing type earring with one hand when it is worn on the ear and that increases wearing comfort and reduces production costs while shortening the manufacturing process by changing the structure of the conventional method of joining the earring separated into a first circular member and a second circular member with a pin to an integrated type
  • an earring is an ornament made of precious metal or the like that is fixed to the earlobe by piercing the earlobe, and can be broadly categorized into a piercing type earring that is worn by piercing the earlobe and a non-piercing type earring that is worn by elasticity of a spring without piercing the earlobe.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional non-piercing type earring.
  • the conventional non-piercing type earring 100 includes a cylindrical earring body 110 having two ends facing each other, a through-hole 111 formed on an inner side of the earring body 110 , a spring 112 inserted in the through-hole 111 , a semicircular pin 113 elastically supported on the end of the spring 112 and contacting the other end of the earring body 110 , such that the earring 100 is worn while being fixedly supported on a user's earlobe by the propulsive force of the semicircular pin 113 elastically propelled by the spring 112 inside the through-hole 111 .
  • the conventional non-piercing type earring 100 structurally requires the spring 112 to be inserted into the earring body 110 , and the through-hole 111 , which defines a space in which the semicircular pin 113 that is elastically propelled by the spring 112 is operated, to be formed. Accordingly, the earring body 110 , which has a decorative function, needs to be made of metal.
  • the non-piercing type earring 100 is made by inserting a straight semicircular pin 113 into the cylindrical and straight earring body 110 and then pressing the same into a ring shape.
  • this conventional metal non-piercing type earring 100 cannot be developed with various shapes and sizes because the earring body 110 is cylindrical and fixed. In addition, it is easily rusted by moisture, which is harmful to the human body, and is heavy, which reduces wearing comfort.

  • a protruding handle part is further provided on one side of an upper portion of the first circular member to allow a user to open and close the earring with one hand, and a spring is seated in the hollow portions of the first circular member and the second circular member.
  • a protruding handle part is further provided on one side of an upper portion of the first circular member to allow a user to open and close the earring with one hand.
  • the earring may be opened and closed with one hand like a clothespin by utilizing the elasticity of the spring.
  • a comfortable fit is secured without piercing the earlobe and the earring is easy to remove.
  • the earring may be opened and closed with one hand, and thus the wearing comfort may be increased.
  • FIG. 1 is a view illustrating one embodiment according to the prior art.
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a non-piercing type earring according to the present disclosure.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a first circular member and a second circular member according to the present disclosure.
  • FIG. 4 is a view illustrating an embodiment of use of the non-piercing type earring according to the present disclosure.
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view illustrating a coupled shape of the first circular member and the second circular member having a preventive protrusion according to the present disclosure.
  • FIG. 6 is a view illustrating an embodiment in which the first circular member and the second circular member having a preventive protrusion according to the present disclosure are not coupled.
  • FIG. 7 is a front view illustrating an embodiment in which the first circular member and the second circular member having a preventive protrusion according to the present disclosure are coupled.
  • FIG. 1 is a view illustrating one embodiment according to the prior art.

  • FIG. 7 is a front view illustrating an embodiment in which the first circular member and the second circular member having a preventive protrusion according to the present disclosure are coupled.
  • the non-piercing type earring includes a first circular member 10 , a second circular member 20 , and a spring 30 .
  • the first circular member 10 has an arc shape having a predetermined radius of curvature.
  • An opening 11 including partitions 14 is provided on one side of a leading end of the arc of the first circular member 10 .
