Body piercing insertion device

Abstract

A device for inserting jewelry into pierced body openings which consists of an elongated cylinder having a closed pointed end for insertion into body openings, and a hollow end which friction fits over the jewelry's end. Once the device is fitted over the jewelry, the pointed end of the device is inserted through the body's opening, which allows for the device with attached jewelry to be inserted and pushed through the body opening without damaging tissue. Since only the smooth plastic surface of the device makes contact with any tissue, contact of the jewelry's threaded or sharp edges with tissue is eliminated. This reduces tissue damage and risk of infection. The device's shape can be straight or curved, and its dimensions vary to accommodate the size of the jewelry and the specific pierced body openings.

1 . A device for inserting jewelry through pierced body openings, said jewelry comprising a stem portion with a pair of end portions, having a pair of caps attached to said pair of end portions, whereby at least one cap of said pair of caps attaches to one end of said pair of end portions by common thread means, said device further comprising: 
 An elongated body portion having a solid pointed end portion, a solid stem portion, and an hollow female end portion having a concave opening,    wherein said one end of said pair of end portions of said jewelry is attached to said concave opening of said hollow female end portion, and said solid pointed end portion is inserted through said pierced body opening, in order to push said device with said jewelry attached through said pierced body opening, and, after insertion is complete, removing said device from said jewelry, without damaging the tissue in said pierced body opening and causing infection.    
   
   
       2 . A device as in  claim 1 , wherein said device is comprised of plastic.  
   
   
       3 . A device as in  claim 1 , wherein said device is comprised of a Titanium alloy material having a high modulus of elasticity.  
   
   
       4 . A device as in  claim 1 , wherein said concave opening of said hollow female end portion is of sufficient depth to cover so as not to expose said one of said pair of end portions of said jewelry.  
   
   
       5 . A device as in  claim 1 , wherein the diameter and circumference of said concave opening of said hollow female end portion is of sufficient dimensions in order to fit against said one of said pair of end portions of said jewelry, so that that said jewelry does not detach from said device during insertion.  
   
   
       6 . A device as in  claim 1 , wherein the surface texture of said device is smooth, in order to insert said device through said body pierced opening without damaging said tissue.  
   
   
       7 . A device as in  claim 1 , wherein said device attached to said jewelry by friction fit means.  
   
   
       8 . A device as in  claim 1 , wherein the surface of said concave opening of said hollow female end portion is threaded, in order to attach said device to said jewelry by common thread means.  
   
   
       9 . A device as in  claim 1 , wherein the shape of said stem portion of said device accommodates the shape of said pierced body opening.  
   
   
       10 . A device as in  claim 1 , wherein, after insertion of said device through said body pierced opening is complete, and said device is detached from said jewelry, one of said pair of caps of said jewelry is attached to one of said pair of stem portions of said jewelry by common thread means, in order for said jewelry to anchor to said body pierced opening in order not to dislodge and injure a wearer.  
   
   
       11 . A method for inserting jewelry through pierced body openings, said jewelry comprising a stem portion with pair of end portions, having a pair of caps attached to said pair of end portions, whereby at least one cap of said pair of caps attaches to one end of said pair of end portions by common thread means, utilizing a device comprising an elongated body portion, having a solid pointed end portion, a solid stem portion, and an hollow female end portion having a concave opening, as follows: 
 i. Friction fitting said concave opening of said hollow female end portion of said device over said one end of said pair of end portions of said jewelry,    ii. Inserting said solid pointed end portion of said device through said pierced body opening, in order to push said device with said jewelry attached through said pierced body opening, without damaging tissue and causing infection, and    iii. Once said device has been inserted through the said pierced body opening, removing said device from said jewelry,    iv. While retaining said jewelry in said pierced body opening after insertion is complete, attaching said one of said pair of cap portions to said one of said pair of end portions of said jewelry, in order for said jewelry to be anchored to said pierced body opening so as not to become dislodged and injure a wearer.    
   
   
       12 . A method as in  claim 11 , wherein said device is comprised of plastic.  
   
   
       13 . A method as in  claim 11 , wherein said device is comprised of a Titanium alloy material having a high modulus of elasticity.  
   
   
       14 . A method as in  claim 11 , wherein said concave opening of said hollow female end portion is of sufficient depth to cover so as not to expose the length of one of said pair of end portions of said jewelry.  
   
   
       15 . A method as in  claim 11 , wherein the diameter and circumference of said concave opening of said hollow female end portion is of sufficient dimensions in order to fit against said one of said pair of end portions of said jewelry, so that said jewelry does not detach from said device during insertion.  
   
   
       16 . A method as in  claim 11 , wherein the surface texture of said device is smooth, in order to insert said device through said body pierced opening without damaging said tissue.  
   
   
       17 . A method as in  claim 11 , wherein said device attached to said jewelry by friction fit means.  
   
   
       18 . A method as in  claim 11 , wherein the surface of said concave opening of said hollow female end portion is threaded, in order to attach said device to said jewelry by common thread means.  
   
   
       19 . A method as in  claim 11 , wherein the shape of said stem portion of said device accommodates the shape of said pierced body opening.
