Hand held disposable ear piercer

A handheld ear piercer, comprising:

• an earring jaw, said earring jaw defining first and second channels;
• an earring cartridge, said earring cartridge slidably disposed in said first channel;
• a nut jaw, said nut jaw slidably engaging said second channel;
• a first runner, said first runner running along an interior length of said earring jaw approximately midway between a top side and a bottom side of said earring jaw adjacent a first side of the handheld ear piercer;
• a second runner, said second runner running along the interior length of said earring jaw approximately midway between said top side and said bottom side of said earring jaw adjacent a second side of the handheld ear piercer opposite to said first side, said second runner oppositely opposed to said first runner, said first and second runners defining a communicating gap between said first and second channels;
• a first stop, said first stop adjacent to said first runner and a first side of said earring jaw, said first stop approximately midway between a rear and a front of said earring jaw;
• a second stop, said second stop adjacent to said second runner and a second side of said earring jaw, said second stop approximately midway between said rear and said front of said earring jaw;
• a third stop, said third stop adjacent to said first side of said earring jaw and said top side of said earring jaw, said third stop approximately midway between said rear and said front of said earring jaw;
• and
• a fourth stop, said fourth stop adjacent to said second side of said earring jaw and said top side of said earring jaw, said fourth stop approximately midway between said rear and said front of said earring jaw;
• said stops running a length from said rear of said earring jaw to approximately midway between said rear and said front of said earring jaw, whereby said earring cartridge is obstructed from further travel into said first channel by said stops;
• a back end of said earring cartridge together with said rear of said earring jaw and said first and second sides serving to define a chamber behind said earring cartridge when said earring cartridge is obstructed from further travel into said first channel by said stops, said chamber providing room for a flexible tang to engage and eject said earring cartridge;
• a first lateral projection extending inwardly from said first side of said earring jaw toward said second side;
• and
• a second lateral projection extending inwardly from said second side of said earring jaw toward said first side;
• whereby,
• said first and second lateral projections define a top gap between themselves above said earring cartridge;
• said top gap extending into said earring jaw a distance just forward of said stops;
• said bottom side of said earring jaw adjacent said second channel and defining an opening between an interior and an exterior of said earring jaw, said opening parallel to a length of said bottom side and extending from said rear of said earring jaw to a point just past a midpoint between said rear and said front of said earring jaw, said opening accommodating a hook coupled to said nut jaw introduced into said opening whereby said hook may travel along said opening and may be caught at a forward end thereof at said point just past said midpoint;
• a spring post, said spring post coupled centrally to an interior rear wall of said second channel, said spring post extending into said second channel generally parallel to a bottom side approximately one-quarter the distance between said rear and said front of said earring jaw;
• a first plurality of ribs, said first plurality of ribs present on the exterior of said earring jaw, generally opposite said second channel and oppositely opposed said spring post, said first plurality of ribs providing means by which secure manual engagement may be made of the exterior of said earring jaw;
• said nut jaw comprising an elongated portion slidably engaging the interior of said second channel, said elongated portion having first and second nut jaw extensions defining a bore therebetween, said first nut jaw extension extending above said bore and said second nut jaw extension, said first and second nut jaw extensions having oppositely opposed curved sections that serve to retain a spring within said bore and that serve to define corresponding gaps between said first and second nut jaw extensions
• a flexible tang, said flexible tang flared upward to engage an underside of said earring cartridge so as to better catch and expel said earring cartridge once said tang moves past said earring cartridge;
• a post, said post coupling said flexible tang to said elongated portion
• a neck portion, said neck portion coupled to said elongated portion and having a width slightly smaller than a width of said second channel so that said neck portion may slide easily within said second channel;
• a tongue portion, said tongue portion extending from said neck portion and terminating in said hook, said tongue portion descending at an angle from said neck portion and into said opening defined by said bottom side whereby said hook may engage said forward end of said opening present in said bottom side of said earring jaw;
• a base portion coupled to said neck portion, said base portion having a width approximately the same as a width of said earring jaw to provide means by which said nut jaw may be engaged by said earring jaw thereby obstructing further slidable travel of said nut jaw into said earring jaw;
• an upright portion coupled to said base portion whereby a void is created by said upright portion between said upright portion, said neck portion and said earring jaw to provide room for an earlobe, said upright portion having a width approximately the same as a width of said earring jaw to provide means by which said nut jaw may be better engaged manually;
• a second plurality of ribs, said second plurality of ribs present on an outward facing portion of said upright portion opposite said void with respect to said upright portion, said second plurality of ribs providing means by which secure manual engagement may be made of the exterior of said nut jaw;
• a nut holding block, said upright portion supporting said nut holding block away from said neck portion, said nut holding block defining first and second nut grooves within which an earring nut may fit facing said earring jaw oppositely opposed to said earring cartridge, said first nut groove perpendicular to said second nut groove;
• a finger, said finger rising up from a floor of said block in said first groove, said finger capable of engaging with slight friction a nut fitted in said first and second nut grooves whereby said nut may be securely held in place by said finger in said first and second grooves of said nut holding block yet easily disengaged from said block.
