Safety Chain and Earring Assembly with Magnetic Connectors

Abstract

While there are existing hearing aid retention products marketed by, for example, Deaf Metal, this jewellery design is new and distinctive in its visual appearance because the chain incorporates a two-part magnetic connector. Whilst other designs include a safety chain attaching directly to an earring this product has a two part magnetic connector in between the safety chain and the earring. One part of the magneticconnector is attached to the end of the safety chain and the other magnetic connector is fitted to the sleeper earring. The design therefore comprises a sleeper earring, a two-part magnetic connector, a length of chain, and a clasp, as shown in the representations. The clasp at the end of the safety chain clips to a holster on a hearing aid but this does not form part of the design and is not shown in the representations.
