The mechanism that prevents earrings from falling off

Abstract

To provide a mechanism for preventing earrings from falling off, which can surely prevent earrings from falling off. [Solution] In this folding earring (11), a pair of opposing members (12a, 12b) are attached at one end, and the attached members act as a rotating shaft, allowing for open / close clip-on attachment to the earlobe. A horizontally shaped protrusion (14) is formed on the open end (12c) of one of the opposing members, and a horizontally shaped recess (15) that matches the horizontally shaped protrusion is formed on the open end (12d) of the other opposing member. By pinching the earlobe between the protrusion and the recess, the earlobe is securely prevented from slipping off.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a folding earring that has a pair of opposing concave members attached to one end and can be attached to the earlobe in a clip-like manner with the attached member as a rotating axis, and to a mechanism for preventing the folding earring from slipping off when attached to the earlobe. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional earrings of this type, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-68305 (Patent Document 1), have a deformed portion (1b) on the plate member (1) and a protrusion (2b) formed in the thickness direction of the clip piece (2), so that the deformed portion (1b) and the protrusion (2b) clamp the earlobe (L).

[0003] In addition, Registered Utility Model No. 3045000 (Patent Document 2) shows earrings that fit the earlobe using an earmuff portion (4) with wavy bumps and an ear holder (12) with a movable attachment angle.

[0004] Furthermore, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-201506 (Patent Document 3) discloses a device having a C-shaped pipe-like ring body (11), a fixed terminal (12) fixed to one end of the ring body (11), and a movable terminal (13) provided at the other end of the ring body (11) and resiliently biased by a spring means (14) so ​​as to press against the fixed terminal (12), wherein the fixed terminal (12) is spherical, and the movable terminal (13) is hemispherical with a smoothly recessed recess (13a) on the pressure contact surface side.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 3-68305 [Patent Document 2] Registered Utility Model No. 3045000 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-201506 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, in each of the above prior arts, the part that clamps the earlobe is composed only of a pair of protrusions and a convex part on the other surface, or one surface is simply wavy and the other is smooth, or it is simply composed of an uneven surface, so it is difficult to say that it is able to clamp the earlobe securely. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] Therefore, the anti-slip mechanism of this invention for foldable earrings is characterized in that, in foldable earrings that have a pair of opposing members attached to one end and can be attached to the earlobe in a clip-like manner with the attached member as a rotating axis, a horizontal protrusion is formed on the open end of one of the opposing pair of members, and a horizontal recess that matches the horizontal protrusion is formed on the open end of the other opposing pair of members, so that the earlobe is clamped between the protrusion and the recess, thereby ensuring that the foldable earrings are securely prevented from slipping off when attached to the earlobe.

[0008] The anti-slip mechanism of this invention for the folding earrings is characterized in that, in the folding earrings that can be attached to the earlobe in a clip-like manner, a pair of opposing members are attached to one end and can be opened and closed using a spring material with the attached member as a rotating axis, a horizontal protrusion is formed on the open end of one of the opposing members, and a horizontal recess that matches the horizontal protrusion is formed on the open end of the other opposing member, thereby clamping the earlobe between the protrusion and the recess, thereby ensuring that the folding earrings are securely prevented from falling off when attached to the earlobe. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] By configuring it as described above, the first invention configures the part that is clamped to the earlobe as a horizontal protrusion and a matching horizontal recess, so that the protrusion and recess can securely clamp the earlobe, providing a mechanism to prevent the earring from falling off the earlobe.

[0010] In addition, the second invention is a folding earring that can be attached to the earlobe in a clip-like manner, with a pair of opposing members attached at one end and the attached part acting as a rotating axis and able to be opened and closed using a spring material.The part that is attached to the earlobe is made up of a horizontal protrusion and a matching horizontal recess, so that the protrusion and recess can securely clamp the earlobe, and because it can be opened and closed using the spring material, it is possible to provide a mechanism to prevent the folding earring from falling off the earlobe. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 2] This is a schematic perspective view showing the outline of the anti-slip mechanism of the snap-on earring of this invention, showing the pair of opposing members in an open state. [Figure 3] This is a schematic front view showing the outline of the anti-slip mechanism of the snap-on earring of this invention, showing the earlobe being clamped between the horizontal protrusion and the matching horizontal recess. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] This invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a schematic front view showing the outline of the anti-slip mechanism of the folding earring of this invention, Figure 2 is a schematic oblique view showing the outline of the anti-slip mechanism of the folding earring of this invention, with a pair of opposing parts open, and Figure 3 is a schematic front view showing the outline of the anti-slip mechanism of the folding earring of this invention, with the earlobe clamped between a horizontal protrusion and a matching horizontal recess.

[0013] First, as shown in Figure 1, the mechanism for preventing the folding earring of this invention from falling off is as follows: a pair of opposing members 12a, 12b are attached at one end using an axis 13, and the attached part acts as a rotating axis to allow the folding earring 11 to be attached to the earlobe in a clip-like manner in an open-close manner, with a horizontal protrusion 14 formed on the open end 12c of one of the opposing pair of members 12a, 12b, and a horizontal recess 15 that matches the horizontal protrusion 14 formed on the other open end 12d of the opposing pair of members 12a, 12b.By pinching the earlobe 21 between the protrusion 14 and the recess 15, the folding earring 11 can be securely prevented from falling off when attached to the earlobe 21.

[0014] Figure 2 shows in detail that a horizontally shaped protrusion 14 is formed on the open end 12c of one of the pair of opposing members 12a, 12b, and a horizontally shaped recess 15 that matches the horizontally shaped protrusion 14 is formed on the open end 12d of the other of the pair of opposing members 12a, 12b.

[0015] Furthermore, the pair of opposing members 12a, 12b are axially attached at one end using an axis 13, and the tip of a plate-shaped spring material 22 attached to the inner surface of one of the members 12b at the axial attachment portion abuts the end of the other member 12a, so that when the pair of opposing members 12a, 12b in Figure 2 are open, the open state is maintained, and when the pair of opposing members 12a, 12b are closed, the tip of the spring material 22 abuts the inner surface of the tip of the other member 12a, thereby functioning to reliably maintain the pair of opposing members 12a, 12b in a closed state.

[0016] Figure 3 shows that when the pair of opposing members 12a, 12b is closed, the horizontal protrusion 14 on one open end 12c of the pair of opposing members 12a, 12b fits into the horizontal recess 15 that matches the horizontal protrusion 14 on the other open end 12d of the pair of opposing members 12a, 12b, and the earlobe 21 is securely sandwiched between the protrusion 14 and the recess 15.

[0017] As configured as described above, the first invention configures the part that is clamped to the earlobe as a horizontal protrusion 14 and a matching horizontal recess 15, so that the earlobe 21 can be securely clamped between the protrusion 14 and the recess 15, thereby providing a mechanism to prevent the folding earring from falling off the earlobe 21.

[0018] In addition, the second invention is a folding earring 11 that can be attached to the earlobe in a clip-like manner, with a pair of opposing members 12a, 12b attached at one end using an axis 13, and the attached part acting as a rotation axis and can be opened and closed using a plate-shaped spring material 22.The part that is clamped to the earlobe 21 is composed of a horizontal protrusion 14 and a matching horizontal recess 15, so that the protrusion 14 and recess 15 can securely clamp the earlobe, and because it can be opened and closed using the spring material 22, it is possible to provide a mechanism to prevent the folding earring from falling off the earlobe 21. [Industrial Applicability]

[0019] The anti-slip mechanism for folding earrings constructed as described above provides a very useful folding earring that does not require a piercing hole to be drilled in the earlobe as with pierced earrings, yet can be securely attached to the earlobe in the same way as pierced earrings.
