An earring mounting device for wearing an earring without passing the earring through skin of the ear of a user, the earring mounting device comprising:
- an earring interface member operable to releasable couple to an earring, the earring interface member comprising a closed loop;
- and
- a mount including a mount body, an adhesive, and a coupling member operable to releasable retain the closed loop of the earring interface member, the adhesive being positioned on a back surface of the mount body, the adhesive operable to releasably adhere the mount to an ear of a user, wherein the coupling member includes a trapezoidal-shaped profile, wherein the coupling member extends from the mount body such that a narrow end of the trapezoidal-shaped profile is proximate the mount body and a wide end of the trapezoidal-shaped profile is spaced from the mount body.
An atraumatic mount for an earring comprising:
- a mount body defining a front surface and a back surface;
- an adhesive positioned on the back surface of the mount, the adhesive operable to releasable couple to skin of a user;
- and
- a coupling member including an arm angled away from the front surface of the mount to define a space between the arm and the mount body, the arm including a neck portion and a body portion, the neck portion being positioned between the body portion and the first surface of the mount body and being narrower relative to the body portion, wherein the neck portion, body portion, and mount body define a notch therebetween such that the notch is positioned on a lateral side of the neck portion such that the notch is defined between the mount body, a lateral edge of the neck portion, and a lower edge of body portion.
An atraumatic mount for an earring comprising:
- a mount body defining a first end and a second end, the mount body including a front surface and a back surface extending between the first end and the second end;
- an adhesive positioned on the back surface of the mount, the adhesive operable to releasable couple to skin of a user;
- and
- a coupling member including an arm angled away from the front surface of the mount body to define a space between the arm and the mount body, the arm including a neck portion and a body portion, the neck portion being positioned between the body portion and the first surface of the mount body and being narrower relative to the body portion, wherein the mount body defines an aperture positioned vertically lower than the coupling member, wherein the neck portion and body portion define a notch therebetween such that the notch is positioned on a lateral side of the neck portion such that the notch is defined between the mount body, a lateral edge of the neck portion, and a lower edge of body portion.
