Ear Jewelry System With Associated Gauges For Optimal Adaption of the Jewelry on the Ear Lobe

Abstract

Ear jewelry system comprises ear jewelry 1 ) and an associated gauge ( 2 ) for optimal adaptation of the ear jewelry ( 1 ) on the ear lobe. The ear jewelry ( 1 ) has a U shaped recess ( 5 ), which, with its internal width ( 7 ) is intended to be pushed from below over the ear lobe ( 16 ), which is to be fitted. The recess ( 5 ) then takes precisely the thickness of the ear lobe ( 16 ) in the condition, in which it is pulled down and stretched. Instead of adapting the recess directly to the measured thickness, an insert can also, with corresponding thickness, be put in the recess. The suitable internal width ( 7 ) is determined by means of a gauge ( 2 ), appropriate to the system, from multiple number of separate gauges ( 3 ). The separate gauges ( 3 ) have mouths ( 8 ) with graded internal widths ( 12 ) and tongues ( 9 ) with thickness ( 13 ), corresponding with the respective internal widths ( 7 ). With the help of a measurement of an ear lobe ( 16 ) to be fitted, in its stretched condition, by means of these separate gauges ( 3 ), the suitability ear jewelry is ascertained from a series of ear jewelry with U shaped recesses, having different internal widths ( 7 ).

1 . Ear jewelry system with associated gauge comprising of separate gauges for optimal adaptation of the ear jewelry on the ear lobe, characterized in that the ear jewelry has a U shaped recess, which, with its internal width or with the internal width of an insert, to be put in the said recess, is intended for being pushed over the ear lobe from below, the said ear lobe to be fitted, being stretched for the purpose of putting on, and thereby taking in precisely the thickness of this stretched ear lobe, wherein the suitable internal width is determined by means of an appropriate gauge for the system comprising of plurality of separate gauges with respective mouths of graded internal widths and tongues having thickness of respective internal widths, so that with the help of a measurement of an ear lobe to be fitted, in stretched condition, by means of these separate gauges, the suitable internal width can be ascertained of the U shaped recess of the relevant ear jewelry or of the insert to be put in, from a series of ear jewelry or series of inserts with U shaped recess, having different internal widths. 
   
   
       2 . Ear jewelry system as per  claim 1 , characterized in that the separate gauges belonging to the system and its gauge have an integral scale on their mouths and on their tongues for measuring the depth of putting on to an ear lobe and determining the position of a possible hole present in the ear lobe. 
   
   
       3 . Ear jewelry system as per  claim 1 , characterized in that the U shaped recesses on the ear jewelry includes inner walls that are provided with one or several longish barbs, which are intended for digging into the ear lobe or for taking in and supporting the insert. 
   
   
       4 . Ear jewelry system as per  claim 1 , characterized in that the U shaped recess on the ear jewelry includes inner walls that are coated with a rubber like foil or provided with rubber like inserts with different internal widths which can be put in the U shaped recesses using grooves and springs or holes and knops. 
   
   
       5 . Ear jewelry system as per  claim 4 , characterized in that the U shaped recess on the ear jewelry includes a pocket shaped slit which extends through the ear jewelry on either side of the recess and extends across and over the recess, and the ear jewelry includes a safety needle with grip head, the safety needle having a ball shaped tip, and fitting in the pocket shaped slit. 
   
   
       6 . Ear jewelry system as per  claim 5 , characterized in that the rubber like foil in the U shaped recess on the ear jewelry extends along the pocket shaped slit and is intended to be penetrated by the safety needle, wherein the ball shaped tip of the safety needle works as a barb, so that the safety needle is secure against slipping off. 
   
   
       7 . Ear jewelry system as per  claim 5 , characterized in that the ear jewelry has a hole for taking in the safety needle when it is not in use. 
   
   
       8 . Ear jewelry system as per  claim 1 , characterized in that the ear jewelry is made from a precious metal, stainless steel or titanium and is fitted with precious stones. 
   
   
       9 . Ear jewelry system as per  claim 1 , characterized in that the ear jewelry is made from plastic, wood or glass. 
   
   
       10 . Ear jewelry system as per  claim 1 , characterized in that the recess is coated with a rubber layer, having a surface with nano humps. 
   
   
       11 . Ear jewelry system as per  claim 5 , characterized in that the insert has closed slits extending along the pocket shaped slit, the closed slits intended to be penetrated by the safety needle, wherein the ball shaped tip of the safety need works as a barb, so that the safety needle is secure against slipping off. 
   
   
       12 . An ear jewelry system for use with an ear lobe, the ear jewelry system comprising a plurality of pieces of ear jewelry, and gauges for optimal adaptation of the ear jewelry on the ear lobe, each piece of ear jewelry having a recess defining an internal width fitted using the associated gauges, the gauges having mouths with different internal gauge widths and tongues corresponding to the different internal gauge widths, wherein the gauges are used to measure the thickness of the ear lobe when stretched, and, according to the thickness of the stretched ear lobe, ascertain the internal width suitable for the ear lobe, so that an appropriate piece of ear jewelry can be selected from the plurality of pieces of ear jewelry according to the internal gauge width, and can be pushed over the stretched ear lobe, thereby taking in the thickness of the stretched ear lobe. 
   
   
       13 . An ear jewelry system according to  claim 12  further comprising an insert provided in the recess, the insert defining the internal width of the recess, and adapted to the thickness of the stretched ear lobe.
