ABSTRACT:
The universal cartridge provides sterile conditions by which ears may be pierced by a variety of different stud gun types and models thereby decreasing the inventory which a merchant must maintain. A chassis slideably holds a carriage inside a cover that may be sealed for sterilization and to maintain sterile conditions. The carriage is especially constructed to have interlocking pieces that disengage upon completion of the ear piercing process. The chassis may be constructed such that the interlocking nature of the carriage is employed to both hold and release the pierced earring stud. The cover serves to provide means by which the cartridge and chassis may be manipulated without direct handling and also to provide means by which a removable seal may be used to provide and maintain sterile conditions. The universal cartridge of the present invention may be used in conjunction with a variety of models and types of stud guns not only to enhance the piercing procedure safety and accuracy but also such that earrings of all varieties and sorts may be used to pierce ears by a variety of different styles and types of stud guns.
