ABSTRACT:
An improvement in post-type earrings, which are earrings connected to a human ear by a rigid slender short rod or post which extends from an ornament, and is rectilinear and cylindrical. The post is threaded at the end opposite to the ornament, and a clutch having a conical configuration formed by a concave base and a plurality of radial springy fingers is provided. The clutch is pushed onto the post, whereby the tips of the fingers engage the convolutions of the helical threading, and the clutch may only be removed by unscrewing it off of the post. The present clutch configuration features a terminal tip of each springy finger having a terminal lip portion which diverges away from the direction of curvature of the finger, so that the lips define, in combination, an opening from which the springy fingers extend radially, and through which the post is threaded when the earring is mounted to the ear. In addition, the base of the present clutch is provided with a cylindrical sleeve which depends from a central opening in the base portion towards the terminal tips of the fingers.
