extensions

13,14 spaced apart are projected into second preceding article 8 from base 12 side direction.In the recess that forms between them, be provided with the second microscler rotating part 15, this second rotating part 15 extends to second preceding article 8 equally and is surrounded in the fork-shaped mode by first rotating part 11.

Second rotating part 15 has and the continuous vertical hole, hole that connects base 12.10

rotating parts

11,15 assemble thereon rotationally thereby axle is admitted in the hole.The side of first rotating part 11 is sectors of cylindrical side, and this cylindrical axis is consistent with axle 10.The inner surface of

side slat

6,7 is configured as the side complementation with first rotating part 11.Correspondingly, the side of second rotating part 15 also is cylindrical side sector, and the side complementation (referring to Fig. 4 b, d) of the inner surface of

extension

13,14 and second rotating part 15.Rotating

part

11,15 in the face of the front surface of preceding

article

5,8 be the plane and perpendicular to axle 10.

Although for clearer, first rotating part 11 and second rotating part 15 are expressed as in Fig. 1,2,3a-c and mediate, but when wearing jewelry member 2, usually they are arranged on fixed position (referring to Fig. 4 a, b, d), in this fixed position, they are fixed by springlock.For this reason, 14 end has ball catch 16 to first rotating part 11 in the extension, and the active force that it is outstanding to surpass the front surface of first rotating part 11 and can overcome compression spring is pushed to the front surface back backward.Second preceding article 8 has two

blind holes

17,18, and ball catch 16 can be buckled in this blind hole 17,18.In the fixed position shown in Fig. 4 a, b, d, ball catch 16 has been snapped in the blind hole 18.But first rotating part 11 can turn over 180 degree and enter second fixed position, and in this second fixed position, ball catch 16 is snapped in the blind hole 17.

In fully corresponding mode, second rotating part 15 has the ball catch in two blind holes of giving prominence in the inner surface that surpasses its front surface and can be snapped into base 12, thereby second rotating part 15 and first rotating part 11 can be locked in two fixed positions that separate 180 degree.If these two rotating
