Abstract

The seat for the end (7) of the hook (6) of an ear-ring has a hollow which is made by advancing a tool which removes material. A groove (9), allowing the passage of the hook into the hollow, is made by the same tool which is moved back axially. The tool is a shouldered drill.

Description

La présente invention concerne les bouches d'oreilles, constituées de deux parties, l'une de ces parties étant un corps dont la forme générale s'apparente à un arc de cercle, et fermées par une seconde partie constituée d'un crochet, ce crochet étant pivotant autour d'une des extrémités de cet arc et venant s'insérer, lors de la pose du bijou, dans une excavation ou dépression située sur l'autre extrémité de l'arc.The present invention relates to earplugs, consisting of two parts, one of these parts being a body whose general shape is similar to a circular arc, and closed by a second part consisting of a hook, this hook being pivoted around one end of this arc and coming to be inserted, during the installation of the jewel, in an excavation or depression located on the other end of the arc.

Le brevet GB 1383021 propose un fermoir en forme de fourche recevant l'extrémité du crochet. Cependant cette réalisation présente, outre son aspect inesthétique, l'inconvénient qu'une traction accidentelle sur la boucle peut l'ouvrir. Par ailleurs, l'extrémité du crochet dépassant de la fourche peut blesser la région de l'oreille, et la forme du fermoir relativement complexe rend celui-ci assez coûteux à fabriquer.Patent GB 1383021 proposes a fork-shaped clasp receiving the end of the hook. However this realization presents, in addition to its aspect unsightly, the downside that accidental pulling on the buckle can open it. Furthermore, the end of the hook protruding from the fork can injure the region of the ear, and the shape of the relatively complex clasp makes it quite expensive to manufacture.

La déposante a créé et commercialisé un type de boucles d'oreilles dans laquelle le siège de l'extrémité du crochet est une excavation pratiquée, à l'aide d'un outil, dans l'extrémité du corps non muni d'une charnière. Ce procédé élimine les inconvénients précités. Cependant, la personne fermant le bijou sur son oreille ne dispose pas toujours d'un miroir. Elle doit donc faire preuve d'une certaine habilité lors de la manoeuvre du crochet, surtout lors de la pose, pour engager l'extrémité du crochet dans l'excavation.The applicant created and marketed a type of earrings in which the seat of the end of the hook is an excavation made, using a tool in the end of the body not fitted with a hinge. This process eliminates the aforementioned drawbacks. However, the person closing the jewelry on his ear does not always have a mirror. She must therefore show a certain skill when maneuvering the hook, especially during installation, to engage the end of the hook in the excavation.

L'invention propose un procédé de fabrication de l'excavation propre à éliminer cet inconvénient, par les moyens décrits dans la partie caractérisante de la revendication 1.The invention provides a method of manufacturing the own excavation to be eliminated this disadvantage, by the means described in the characterizing part of the claim 1.

L'aménagement d'une gorge débouchant sur l'excavation fournit un cheminement à l'extrémité libre du crochet de la boucle. The development of a groove leading to the excavation provides a routing at the free end of the loop hook.

L'autre extrémité du crochet assure son pivotement, lors de la pose ou la dépose de la boucle, au moyen d'une charnière.The other end of the hook ensures its pivoting, during installation or removal of the loop, by means of a hinge.

Le jeu réduit au niveau de la charnière amène spontanément l'extrémité libre du crochet vers l'amorce de la gorge du côté extérieur de la boucle.The reduced clearance at the hinge spontaneously brings the free end of the hook towards the start of the groove on the outside of the loop.

Une fois le crochet enfilé sur le trou d'oreille, il suffit à l'utilisatrice de rabattre le crochet contre le corps de la bouche. Son extrémité libre trouvant l'amorce de la gorge, une pression exercée vers le corps de la boucle déforme élastiquement le crochet, ce qui permet à l'extrémité libre de s'avancer dans la gorge et de prendre sa place dans l'excavation.Once the hook is threaded over the ear hole, the user just has to fold the hook against the body of the mouth. Its free end finding the primer of the throat, a pressure exerted towards the body of the buckle elastically deforms the hook, which allows the free end to advance into the groove and take its place in the excavation.

L'avantage procuré par l'invention est que l'effort exercé sur le crochet ne vise qu'à le déformer, sans avoir de plus à guider son extrémité vers l'excavation.The advantage provided by the invention is that the force exerted on the hook does not aim than to deform it, without having to guide its end to the excavation.

Dans une forme particulière de réalisation de l'invention, l'outil d'enlèvement de matière, par exemple un foret, réalisant l'excavation dans une des extrémités du corps de la boucle est également utilisé pour creuser la gorge. Dans le cas où cet outil présente une forme générale cylindrique terminée par un cône, c'est la partie conique qui réalise l'excavation par avance de l'outil dans un premier temps. L'outil recule ensuite partiellement selon son axe de rotation dans un deuxième temps; puis dans un troisième temps l'outil effectue un déplacement essentiellement perpendiculaire à l'axe de rotation de l'outil, au cours duquel la gorge est creusée par l'outil sur un côté de l'excavation.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the removal tool of material, for example a drill, carrying out the excavation in one of the ends of the body of the loop is also used to dig the throat. In the case where this tool has a generally cylindrical shape ending in a cone, it is the conical part which carries out the excavation in advance of the tool in a first time. The tool then moves back partially along its axis of rotation in a second time; then in a third step the tool moves essentially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the tool, during which the groove is dug by the tool on one side of the excavation.

Dans une forme particulière de réalisation de l'invention, l'outil d'enlèvement de matière est un foret épaulé, qui présente des avantages du point de vue de la rigidité. In a particular embodiment of the invention, the removal tool material is a shouldered drill, which has advantages from the point of view of the rigidity.

Compte tenu des explications précédentes, ce côté de l'excavation sera préférentiellement celui qui facilite le mieux la fermeture du crochet.Given the previous explanations, this side of the excavation will be preferably the one that best facilitates the closing of the hook.

Cependant, le crochet étant élastique, des formes de réalisation peuvent prévoir une orientation quelconque de la gorge par rapport à l'excavation.However, the hook being elastic, embodiments may provide any orientation of the throat relative to the excavation.

Le recul de l'outil pendant le deuxième temps précité n'est pas indispensable, pourvu que la disposition et la forme de la gorge, par rapport à la trajectoire du crochet, ne rende pas trop facile l'ouverture de la boucle. Ce recul de l'outil est préféré parce qu'il permet au crochet de claquer, avec un bruit facilement identifiable, lorsque son extrémité trouve sa place dans l'excavation lors de la pose.The retraction of the tool during the aforementioned second time is not essential, provided that the arrangement and shape of the groove, in relation to the trajectory of the hook, do not make opening the buckle too easy. This recoil of the tool is preferred because it allows the hook to snap, with noise easily identifiable, when its end finds its place in the excavation during the pose.

L'invention concerne également une boucle d'oreille munie d'un fermoir réalisé selon les explications précédentes.The invention also relates to an earring provided with a clasp made according to the previous explanations.

Le corps constituant la partie décorative de cette boucle d'oreille peut naturellement, et sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, présenter un aspect et des formes variées, telles qu'une forme hexagonale, ou ovale, ou en trèfle à quatre feuilles, ou mixte entre ces diverses formes. Il suffit que la rigidité du corps soit suffisante pour permettre au crochet de remplir son rôle de partie élastique de fermoir.The body constituting the decorative part of this earring can naturally, and without departing from the scope of the invention, present an appearance and various shapes, such as hexagonal, or oval, or four-leaf clover leaves, or mixed between these various forms. It is enough that the rigidity of the body is sufficient to allow the hook to fulfill its role of elastic part of clasp.

Il a été constaté qu'un résultat satisfaisant est obtenu lorsque le corps est en laiton et que le crochet est constitué d'un fil en alliage de bronze d'une section circulaire d'un diamétre de 0.9 mm, le diamètre de l'excavation étant de 1 mm et la largeur de la gorge étant également de 1 mm. It has been found that a satisfactory result is obtained when the body is in brass and the hook is made of a bronze alloy wire of a section circular with a diameter of 0.9 mm, the diameter of the excavation being 1 mm and the width of the groove also being 1 mm.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue de face d'une boucle d'oreille selon l'art antérieur;
  • la figure 2 montre une vue de face d'une boucle d'oreille selon l'invention, crochet ouvert;
  • la figure 3 montre le crochet engagé dans l'entrée de la gorge;
  • la figure 4 montre le crochet en compression dans la gorge; la figure 5 montre le crochet verrouillé;
  • la figure 6 montre :
  • en 6 a, la vue de face de la boucle d'oreille sans crochet;
  • en 6 b, la vue de dessus de la même boucle d'oreille;
  • en 6c, la vue de gauche de la même boucle d'oreille.
The invention will be better understood on reading the detailed description which follows with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 shows a front view of an earring according to the prior art;
  • Figure 2 shows a front view of an earring according to the invention, hook open;
  • Figure 3 shows the hook engaged in the entrance of the groove;
  • Figure 4 shows the hook in compression in the groove; Figure 5 shows the hook locked;
  • Figure 6 shows:
  • in 6 a, the front view of the earring without hook;
  • in 6 b, the top view of the same earring;
  • in 6c, the left view of the same earring.

La boucle de la figure 1 représente l'art antérieur.The loop of Figure 1 represents the prior art.

Le corps 1 a ici la forme approximative d'un arc de cercle; une extrémité 2 de cet arc est munie d'une charnière 3.The body 1 here has the approximate shape of an arc of a circle; one end 2 of this arc is provided with a hinge 3.

L'autre extrémité 4 du corps 1 comprend une excavation 5.The other end 4 of the body 1 comprises an excavation 5.

La figure 2 montre la boucle d'oreille selon l'invention.Figure 2 shows the earring according to the invention.

Le crochet 6 pivote autour de la charnière 3. Son extrémité 7 est engagée par l'utilisatrice dans le trou de l'oreille (non représentée), puis vient se fermer dans l'excavation 5.The hook 6 pivots around the hinge 3. Its end 7 is engaged by the user in the ear hole (not shown), then comes close in excavation 5.

Selon l'invention, une gorge 9 facilite la fermeture (figure 6c).According to the invention, a groove 9 facilitates closing (Figure 6c).

La figure 3 montre l'extrémité 7 engagée en butée dans l'entrée de la gorge 9. FIG. 3 shows the end 7 engaged in abutment in the entry of the groove 9.

La figure 4 montre l'extrémité 7 en train de franchir le point dur 8 (figure 2) réalisé par le recul de l'outil, comme il a été expliqué précédemment. Le crochet est alors en compression.Figure 4 shows the end 7 crossing the hard point 8 (Figure 2) achieved by the recoil of the tool, as explained above. The hook is then in compression.

A la figure 5, l'extrémité 7 vient de franchir le point dur et trouve sa place dans l'excavation 5.In FIG. 5, the end 7 has just crossed the hard point and finds its place in excavation 5.

Les figures 6a, 6b et 6c montrent trois vues de la boucle sans crochet.Figures 6a, 6b and 6c show three views of the hookless loop.

Le foret (non représenté) servant à aménager l'excavation 5 et la gorge 9 arrive horizontalement de la gauche vers la droite dans l'extrémité 4 du corps 1. Dans un premier temps, il fore l'excavation 5, comme dans la figure 1.The drill (not shown) used to arrange the excavation 5 and the groove 9 arrives horizontally from left to right in end 4 of body 1. In first, it drills the excavation 5, as in figure 1.

Puis on recule l'outil de façon à former le point dur 8 (figure 2); enfin l'outil, toujours en rotation, part vers le haut (figure 6c) de façon à dégager l'entrée de la gorge 9 pour l'extrémité 7 du crochet.Then the tool is moved back so as to form the hard point 8 (FIG. 2); finally the tool, still rotating, going upwards (figure 6c) so as to clear the entrance to the groove 9 for the end 7 of the hook.

Il est clair que l'on peut aussi envisager un dégagement de l'outil dans n'importe quelle direction perpendiculaire à son axe de rotation. Une fois l'excavation 5 réalisée, l'outil peut aussi, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, suivre un mouvement de translation tel que décrit précédemment, ce mouvement étant simultané avec le mouvement de recul, et non plus postérieur au mouvement de recul.It is clear that one can also envisage a release of the tool in any which direction perpendicular to its axis of rotation. Once the excavation 5 performed, the tool can also, without departing from the scope of the invention, follow a translational movement as described above, this movement being simultaneous with the movement of recoil, and no longer after the movement of step back.
