Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 5, 1907.
Application filed June 28, 1907. Serial N0. 381,264.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EBEN F. WILDE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Attleboro, county of Bristol, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ear-Rings, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has reference to an improvement in ear-rings and more particularly to an improvement in ear-wires adapted to secure articles of jewelry to the ear without piercing the lobe of the ear.
The object of my invention is to improve the construction of ear-rings whereby articles of jewelry are easily and quickly attached or detached and the wire securely fastened to the ear without piercing the lobe of the ear.
My invention consists in the peculiar and novel construction of an ear-ring adapted to be clamped to the lobe of the ear and having details of construction, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter and claimed.
Figure 1 is a side view of my improved ear-ring, showing the clamping member in the clamped or closed position in full lines and in the open position in broken lines. Fig. 2 is an edge view of the ear-ring looking at the back. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail side view of the pivot end of the frame, showing the circular end with a serrated surface. Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail side View of the clamping member, showing the circular end with a corresponding serrated surface, and Fig. 5 is an enlarged transverse sectional'view taken on line 5 5 of Fig. 1, showing the construction of the ear-ring.
In the'drawings, a indicates a Ushaped spring frame, b a clamping member, and c an ornamentation 0n the caring.
The frame 11 consists of a fiat spring Wire 6 bent U- shape and having a dished circular clamping end 7 with the convex surface inward and a flat circular pivot end 8 in a position at right angles relative to the end 7 and having a central hole 9 and a serrated surface 10, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3.
The clamping member b consists of a circular dished head 11 similar to the end 7 on the frame a and having a short arm 12 bent at right angles to the head and on which is a flat transverse circular end 13 with a central hole 14 and a serrated surface 15 and an oppositely-disposed tongue 16 bent at right angles to the head and having the outwardly-bent L-shaped end 17, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4. A spring washer 18 is placed on the outer surface of the circular end 8 of the frame a and the clamping member pivotally secured to the end 8 by a tubular rivet 19 (which extends through the holes 9 and 14 in the ends 8 and 13 and the washer) in a position for the serrated surfaces 10 and 15 on the ends 8 and 13 to coincide, as shown in Figs. 2 and 5.
The ornamentation c, as shown, consists of a hollow ball secured to the concave surface of the end 7 of the frame, by sold er or other means.
In the operation of my improved ear ring the tubular rivet 19 forms a pivot for the clamping member I) and also holds the serrated surfaces 10 and 15 together under spring tension through the tension of the spring washer 18. The clamping member b is operated by a finger on the tongue 16 to open the same, as shown in broken lines in Fig. 1. The ear-ring is now placed on the lobe of the ear in the required position(with the lobe of the ear back of the end 7) and firmly secured to the ear by forcing the clamping member b over into the closed position, as shown in full lines in Fig. 1. The ear-ring is now firmly secured to the ear with the lobe of the ear between the end 7 of the frame and the head 11 of the clamping member through the tension of the spring frame a and the clamping member 1) locked in the closed position by the interlocking serrated surfaces 10 and 15 on the ends 8 and 13 through the tension of the spring washer 18, as shown in Figs. 2 and 5.
It is evident that any ornamentation could'beused and that the frame a could be rigid if desired without materially affecting the spirit of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent;
1. An ear-ring comprising a Ushaped spring frame having a clamping end and a pivot end with a serrated sur face, a clamping member having a pivot end with a serrated surface, means for pivotally securing the pivot ends of the frame and clamping member together, and means for holding the serrated surfaces of the pivot ends together under spring tension.
2. An ear-ring comprising a (T-shaped frame having a circular clamping end her together,
3. An ear-ring consisting of a U-shaped frame having a dished circular clamping end and a flat circular pivot end with a serrated surface, a dished circular clamping memher having a flat circular pivot end with a serrated surface and an oppositely-disposed tongue, means for pivotally securing the pivot ends of the frame and clamping member together, and means comprising a spring washer for holding the serrated surfaces of the pivot ends to spring washer 18, and a rivet 19 which extends through gether under spring tension. the holes 9 and 14 in the pivot ends 8 and 13 and through 4. In an ear-ring, the combination of a frame a conthe spring washer 18, as described. sisting of a wire 6 bent U-shape and having a dished cir- In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this 5 cular clamping end 7 and a flat circular pivot end 8 with a specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. 15
