Abstract
The invention relates to the use of an ornamental silicone, silicone rubber or rubber earring back-fastener without any hole which can receive an earring post in order to support an earring to an earlobe, and this, in replacement to any other types of earring back-fastener or earring back-support known from the prior art or on the market.
Claims
1) An ornamental earring backing used to hold an earring to an earlobe; the ornamental earring backing having no hole to receive the post of an earring.
2) An ornamental earring backing according to claim 1) composed of silicone, silicone rubber or rubber (hereinafter called elastomer).
3) An ornamental earring backing according to claims 1) and (2) whose hardness can vary from 10 shore A to 90 shore A, but preferably between 20 shore A and 40 shore A.
4) An ornamental earring backing according to claims 1), (2) and (3), the shape of which can be diverged (sphere, square, rectangle, rhombus, etc.).
5) A spherical ornamental earring backing according to claims 1), (2) and (3) whose diameter can vary from 5 mm to 20 mm, but preferably between 10 mm and 20 mm to ensure superior support of an earring to an earlobe.

DETAILLED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0016] The emphasis of this section explains the invention principle, the drawings are not to scale and only show an example of the possible dimension and shape of our ornamental earring backing.
[0017] We will clearly demonstrate what distinguishes our ornamental earring backing from any other earring back-fastener. The following detailed description of the drawing will explain how our ornamental earring backing without hole works.
[0018] FIG. 1 shows how the ornamental earring backing 1, here spherical and translucent, is used with an earring. The post 2 of the earring 3 is inserted into the earlobe 4 through the hole of the earlobe 6 and penetrate the ornamental earring back 1 without a hole. We notice very clearly through the translucent ornamental earring back 1, that the post 2 is partly inside 5 of the ornamental earring backing 1.
[0019] FIG. 2 shows the ornamental earring backing 1, as specified in claim 1). In the present case, the ornamental earring backing 1 is composed of an elastomer specified in dependent claim 2) and has the hardness specified in dependent claim 3). This same ornamental earring backing 1 can also have different shapes and dimensions, as specified in the dependent claims 4) and (5).
[0020] FIG. 3 is a cutaway perspective view of the ornamental earring backing 1. It illustrates and demonstrates that there is no hole in the ornamental earring backing 1, this one being completely filled with the elastomer 1a.
[0021] FIG. 4 illustrates the six sides of the ornamental earring backing 1, namely the front side 7, the rear side 8, the top side 9, the bottom side 10, the left side 11 and the right side 12 which will allow to demonstrate in the subsequent figures, that the ornamental earring backing 1 does not actually contains or has any hole.
[0022] In FIG. 5, we demonstrate that none of the six sides of the ornamental earring backing 1 contains a hole to accommodate the post of an earring. It is effectively illustrated that none of the six sides 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 of the ornamental earring backing 1 has a hole.
[0023] FIG. 6 illustrates a standard earring 3 with its post 2 which is normally attached to an earring back-fastener with hole. We will use this earring 3 to explain the following figures.
[0024] The inventiveness of claim 1) of our ornamental earring backing 1 is demonstrated by FIGS. 7 to 12 in which it is illustrated that the post 2 of the earring 3 is inserted and penetrates into each side without hole of the ornamental earring backing 1, that is to say the front side 7 in FIG. 7, the rear side 8 in FIG. 8, the top side 9 in FIG. 9, the bottom side 10 in FIG. 10, the left side 11 in FIG. 11 and finally the right side 12 in FIG. 12.
