ERNEST A. STRAAT, OF JERSEY CITY, NEV JERSEY.
EAR-RING.
SPECIIfICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 360,395, dated March 29, 1887.
Application filed December E29, 1885. Serial No. 1S6,985. (Model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ERNEsT A. STRAAT, of
l Jersey City, Hudson county, and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Ear-Ring, of which the following specification is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to an ear-ring, and more particularly to the parts by which the pendant is suspended from the ring.
The inventionv is designed as au improvement on those constructions which suspend the pendant by a ball-and-socket joint or by a pivot, and is intended to produce a more ready movement of the pendant upon its support.
The invention consists in the elements of construction hereinafter more fully pointed out.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side view of an ear-ring provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a front View of the pendant, and Fig. 3 a vertical central section through the suspending-ring.
The letter a represents an ear hook or loop, to which there is attached a ring, b, adapted to be opened. The, pendant c is provided with an upwardly-projecting loop, d, and to the inner edge or circumference of this loop d there is rigidly attached a ball or spherical pivot, e, so as to project into the space inclosed by the loop, as shown.
The ring b is adapted to receive the loop d, and the ball e will rest upon the inner edge of the ring when the loop is introduced. The inner edge or face of ring b is flat, Fig. 3, and thus the ball will be in contact with the ring ring to a slight extent.
at but one pointviz., the lowerniost point of its periphery. Thus the pendant is free to vibrate in all directions and at the same time the ball may travel up and down within the In this way the connection between ring and pendant is such that the slightest motion of the wearer will canse the pendant to vibrate in various directions. This construction allows the ring to be made thinner and lighter,since it is not recessed. A ball-and-socket joint or two ordinary cylindrical rings will not do, for the former requires one of the rings to be weakened and the latter allows either or both to be readily worn through.
I ain aware of Patent No. 331,638, granted to G. M. Hathaway, December 1, 1885, for an ear-ring. This patent describes a pendant supported bya pivotal pin that enters a groove or socket in the sustaining-loop. This construction I do not claim.
The combination of pendant 0, having loop d and Xedball e, attached to and projecting into said loop, with hook a and ring b, having a llat inner edge that forms the bearingsurface for said ball,A` all being constructed as described and shown, so that ball e is free to vibrate in all directions upon said surface, substantially as set forth.
ERNEST A. STRAAT.
