ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to an ear clip for earrings and the like in which separate jaw portions thereof are attached together for pivotal movement towards and away from each other in such a manner that the need for a separate spring member is eliminated and a soft and durable spring action between opposed ear lobe contacting pads is produced. The construction includes a stationary body portion having a lobe contacting pad at one end and a movable clip arm pivotally attached to the other end, said clip arm having integral spring means associated therewith. The spring means is formed by a series of reverse folds producing spring action at a plurality of separate points within the clip and in this manner accomplishes the aforementioned desirable soft touch between the opposed pad sections which contact opposite sides of the ear lobe and serve to suspend the clip therefrom. The clip arm lobe contacting pad may be and is preferably formed integrally with the spring means.
