International Classification:

A44C 700

Abstract:

A body ornament has first and second positioning arms that are pivotally connected together. The first positioning arm crosses the second positioning arm at first and second crossing points. A generally elongated loop is formed between the crossing points for receiving the body part. The size of the loop is adjustable by pivoting the positioning arms either toward or away from each other. The positioning arms are preferably biased toward each other so that a minimal loop size is initially formed. In one embodiment, the pivot joint between the first and second positioning arms includes a pivot pin. A loop is formed at one end of the pin for receiving a decorative item. In a further embodiment, the pivot joint is in the form of an integral hinge that biases the first and second positioning arms toward each other.

Abstract:

An ornamentation part and an ornament positioning part are fabricated as a unit to provide a body ornament to be received by and positioned upon a body part; particularly a breast nipple. The positioning part includes a pair of concave spaced arms which form therebetween a body part receiving space of a size and configuration to receive and embrace a body part. The ornamentation part may be an enclosed figure such as a multi-point star, leaf, heart, butterfly, or the like. Further decorations such as feathers, flowers, jewelry, chain links, etc. may be carried by the body ornament as well as loops upon which other decorations may be disposed or from which other decorations may be carried. The ornamentation part and positioning part are sized and configured so that pressure along sides of the ornamentation part effects an enlargement of the positioning part to facilitate an enlargement of a body part space and disposition thereof onto a body part and so that the relaxing of such pressure facilitates disposition of the body ornament on the body part (nipple).
