EAR-RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 435,354, dated August 26, 1890.

Application filed June 19,1890- Serial No. 355,986. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, EMANUEL GINER, of New York city, New York, have invented an Improved Ear-Ring, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an ear-ring in which the drop is raised close up to the ear, and in which a guard-plate prevents the car from coming into contact with the drop-suspending mechanism.

The invention consists in the various features of improvement more fully pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l. is a side View of my improved ear-ring; Fig. 2, a section on line :r m, Fig. 1; and Fig. 3, a section on line y y, Fig. 1.

The letter (1 represents the ear-wire, bent to form a horizontal section a and an inclined or upright section (1?, the latter provided with the closing-hook a as usual. The horizontal section a is provided with an elongated slot 1), through which passes the stem 0 of the drop 6. The stem 0 is flattened, Fig. 3, so that while it can-freely vibrate it cannot turn in the slot. At the upper end the stem 0 carries a ball (1, that rests upon the two arms of horizontal section a and holds the stem and drop in place. A curved guard-plate f is secured to section a above the ball, so as to prevent the lobe of the ear from coming into contact with the ball. It will be seen that by means of the bend ct a in the ear-Wire an angular space is formed directly beneath the ear-lobe, in which the drop may vibrate. At the same time the lobe is by guard f prevented from coming into direct contact with the ball d and from thus impeding the free vibration of the drop.

What I claim is- 1. The combination of a slotted ear-wire with a stem passing through the slot, a drop secured to the lower end of the stem, and a ball secured to the upper end of the stem and free to vibrate on the ear-wire, substantially as specified.

2. The combination of an ear-wire having horizontal section a, provided with elongated slot 1), with theiiattened stem 0 passing through said slot, and with drop e and hall (1 secured to opposite ends of the stem, substantially as specified.

3. The combination of an ear-Wire having slotted horizontal section, with a guard-plate above said section, and a drop having a bar and a ball engaged by said section, substantially as specified.

EMANUEL CINER.
