Abstract (en)
The earring hook supporting device comprises a small tube (1) flanged at one end (2) and provided, at the other end, with fins (3) defining circumferential axial slots (4), the small tube being engaged by a washer (5) the central hole (6) of which has a diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the small tube. Instead of fins, it is possible to use a tube with external threads in which case the washer has internal threads to engage with the tube. It is also possible to use a washer with a slot so that it engages with the tube by snapping on it. Finally it is also possible to use a tube having a flange at one end and projections at the other end, the tube engaging a washer having internal slits. According to another embodiment, a spiral may be used. The latter has the advantage that it offers flexibility and may adapt itself to different shapes of hooks. It is also possible to use only the small tube which is flanged at one end without the washer.
