Description

1 / 4 A constructive arrangement applied to earrings with clips and hinges to allow them to be fixed to an ear support platform.

[001] This utility model refers to an innovative solution for the jewelry, semi-jewelry and costume jewelry market, comprising earrings (1) with clips (2) that allow them to be fastened by pressure and hinges (3) that allow them to slide along a specific point on the body of an auricular support platform (4), so that these earrings (1) are attached to it.

[002] Earrings are the oldest and best-known ornaments known to humankind. They can be made from various materials, such as metal, plastic, glass, precious stones, or beads. They can be worn by both women and men. They can be attached externally with a kind of clip, or pierce the earlobe or any other external part of the ear. They can be small for a subtle charm or a larger model for a bolder look. There are hoop earrings, which are circular and can vary in thickness and diameter, small and attach directly to the ear, and dangling earrings, which have an element that extends below the ear and adjusts to the ear's contour. They can convey different messages, such as personality, sophistication, boldness, delicacy, or even symbolize feelings like love, depending on the style and design. Current earrings can be attached to the ear using clasps such as pressure, screw-back, or push-button fasteners, among others. In other words, current earrings are, in some way,fixed directly to the ear, whereas the clasp-and-hinge construction illustrated and disclosed in this document is not fixed to the ear, but to a supporting auricular platform located around the ear.

[003] The “U” type clips (2) are mechanical devices used to firmly hold the earrings on the auricular support platform (4), characterized by having two extensions with a circular shape and an opening that allows fitting into a circular body, in this case the auricular support platform (4) mentioned in this document, providing a secure and efficient fixation of the earring with the platform.

[004] The hinges (3) are used to ensure the stability of the earrings in the structure of the ear support platform (4), allowing them to move in a controlled manner under the horizontal vertex, to position themselves in the most suitable location for their purpose, said hinges (3) are characterized by having completely circular extensions, without openings, which allow the insertion of a circular body within them, in this case in the ear support platform (4) mentioned in this document, providing a safe and efficient support of the earring with the platform.

[005] The state of the art found is represented by three documents where, MU 6801602-6, refers to a set of earrings and brooches whose decorative motifs can be replaced; document MI4901577-0, refers to an earring clasp, with a base provided with semicircular side supports with through holes interconnected by a back wall and document PI 02060817, which refers to a complementary or substitute device for earring backs and also for adding complementary adornments to earrings, all with functions completely different from the functions of the present model, which until now has not been found on the consumer market, adapting to the new needs of said market.

[006] In the design of the earrings (1), now presented, the jewelry designer will not use the common clasps available on the market, he will use “U” shaped clips (2) at any point on the back of them, so that they fit under pressure at any point on the body of the aforementioned auricular support platform (4) and as mentioned above, not found on the consumer market.

[007] In the design of the earrings (1), now presented, the jewelry designer will not use the common clasps available on the market, he will use hinges (3), at any point on the back of them, which allow them to slide on the body of an auricular support platform (4) and as mentioned above, not found on the consumer market.

[008] The aforementioned ear support platform (4) does not require piercing, does not apply pressure or even touch the ends of the ears and, having an elongated body that extends around the ear, i.e., from the front to the back of the ear, allows Petition 870250069329, dated 06 / 08 / 2025, page 7 / 14 3 / 4 that earrings (1), with clasps (2) are fitted, by pressure on its body and hinges (3), which allows them to slide along said platform (4), which, being made of malleable material, allows its shape to be molded according to the shape of the user's head.

[009] The earrings (1), with clasps (2) and hinges (3), can be better understood through the detailed description given below, which specifies the contents according to the figures presented, which are:

[010] Figure 1 shows a right side front perspective view of the earring (1), which may have various shapes and sizes, which has been generically represented in this document as a triangle, where we can see a clasp (2) and two hinges (3) contained within it.

[011] Figure 2 shows a rear perspective view of the earring (1), which may have various shapes and sizes, which has been generically represented in this document as a triangle, where we can see an auricular support platform (4), fitted through the clip (2) and hinge (3) into the earring (1).

[012] Figure 3 shows a front perspective view of the earring (1), which may have various shapes and sizes, which has been generically represented in this document as a triangle, where we can see the supporting ear platform (4), fitted into the earring (1).

[013] Figure 4 shows a front view of a user's face wearing the earring (1), which may have various shapes and sizes, which has been generically represented in this document as a triangle, where we can see the earring (1), fitted by means of the clip (2) and hinge (3), into the auricular support platform (4) placed on the user's ear.

[014] Figure 5 shows a left side view of a user’s face wearing the earring (1), which may have various shapes and sizes, which has been generically represented in this document as a triangle, where we can see the earring (1) fitted into the auricular support platform (4), placed on the user’s ear.

[015] Figure 6 shows a rear view of the face of a user wearing the earring (1), which may have various shapes and sizes, which generically was Petition 870250069329, dated 06 / 08 / 2025, page 8 / 14 4 / 4 represented in this document as a triangle, where we can see the earring (1), fitted into the ear support platform (4), placed on the user's ear.

[016] The present utility model may be produced with different materials, surface finishes, colors and in numerous shapes.

[017] Based on research carried out, we describe and illustrate the present utility model and conclude that it has its own constructive, functional and innovative characteristics, different from existing models in the state of the art, as it combines and modifies known elements, fitting the criteria that define a Utility Model Patent and its claim will be described below.
