Abstract

Improved systems, devices, and methods for pin fastening techniques are disclosed. The improvement may include electrically straightening a 24 gauge wire of the pin fastener, slightly flattening the straightened wire of the pin fastener with a rolling mill, and then twisting the flattened wire while the flattened wire is held straight to form the structure of the pin fastener. Flattening the wire and twisting the wire may provide benefits including 1) the wire being hardened, providing excellent stiffness and resiliency, and 2) the use of twisted wires, the ridges extending at different angles on the pin may provide greater friction when in the hollow column.

Claims (20)

  1. 1. A method for manufacturing a threadless pin fastener 300 for a body fitment, the method comprising: Electrically straightening a length of the smoothing wire 202 by passing an electrical current through the smoothing wire 202; Leveling the straightened wire to form a flattened wire 204, and The flattened wire 204 is twisted to form a twisted wire 206.
  2. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the current is a 12 volt current.
  3. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the current and the heat generated thereby cause the smooth wire 202 to soften and form an annealed wire.
  4. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the flattening line 204 is made by passing the annealing line through a rolling mill to compress two edges on the annealing line to form an asymmetric line.
  5. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the two edge metrics are 0.4mm x 0.55mm for a 25 gauge wire.

A method for a user to use a threadless dowel fastener for a body ornament, the method comprising: Gripping the threadless pin fastener 300; inserting the threadless pin fastener 300 into a hollow end of a disc-shaped back 310, wherein the disc-shaped back 310 is positioned in a body ornament, and When fully inserted, pull on the pin fastener 300 to ensure that the threadless pin fastener 300 is securely positioned in the disc back 310.
  14. 14. An implement for a body fitment, the implement comprising: a threadless pin fastener 300, the threadless pin fastener further comprising a post 302 and a head 304, Wherein post 302 includes a torsion wire 206 attached to head 304 to create the threadless pin fastener 300.
  15. 15. The appliance of claim 14, wherein the head 304 is of an ear-nail design.
  16. 16. The appliance of claim 15, wherein the ornamental portion is cast, stamped or hand-made.
  17. 17. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the screwless ornament pin set 320 comprises the screwless pin fastener 300 and a disc-shaped back 310.
  18. 18. The appliance of claim 17, wherein the disk-shaped back 310 includes a hollow post 312 and a disk-shaped back unthreaded post 314.
  19. 19. The appliance of claim 14, wherein the head 304 is a decorative ornament worn outwardly by the wearer.
  20. 20. The tool of claim 14 wherein the threadless pin fastener 300 has a threadless end and is made of 18K platinum and is drawn to a 25 gauge (0.455 mm) round wire and cut into 6 inch strips and is electrically straightened by passing current under tension, and the round wire is flattened with a rolling mill and then the flattened wire 204 is twisted to provide one revolution per 2.6mm and to cause the twisted wire 206 to have a hardness of 3 die-hardening.

Description

Device and method for a pin-fastened unthreaded body fitment Inventor(s): MnatSakan Gasparyan This patent application relates to and claims priority according to 35 USC ≡119/120 FOR the title "DEVICES AND METHODS FOR PIN FASTENING THREADLESS BODY JEWELRY" filed on 1 month 11 2023 and listed MNATSAKAN GASPARYAN as co-pending and co-owned U.S. patent application No. 63/546,829 (docket No. BVLA-1001P) to the inventors, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety FOR all purposes. Technical Field Embodiments relate generally to accessories and, more particularly, to a threadless body accessory. Background A pin-fastened unthreaded body fitment is a type of body fitment that uses a small pin to secure the end piece to the hollow post. This type of jewelry is becoming increasingly popular because it can be easily donned and removed. Pin-fastened unthreaded body ornaments work by using small pins to secure the end piece to the hollow post. The pin is inserted through a small hole in the end piece and then through Kong Chuanhang in the hollow post. Depending on the design and materials, the threadless pin fastener may not be as strong as desired and may experience corrosion problems. Accordingly, there is a need for an apparatus and method that addresses these issues. Disclosure of Invention Conventional fastener pins for threadless attachment systems may simply be a length of 24 gauge wire. Such pins may be suitable for smaller items, such as 3 mm diamond seats, but for larger items the friction may be insufficient to hold the item of apparel in place. In addition, if no significant kinking is placed on the pin, the jewelry item may become loose and may be easily lost. The improvements as described herein include an attachment having a threadless pin fastener. An attachment system with a threadless dowel fastener may include 1) a 24 gauge wire (or equivalent) that is electrically straightened, 2) the straightened wire is then slightly flattened using a rolling mill, and 3) the flattened wire is then twisted while being held straight. Flattening the wire and twisting the wire may provide benefits including 1) the wire being hardened, providing excellent stiffness and resiliency, and 2) the use of twisted wires, the ridges extending at different angles on the pin may provide greater friction when in the hollow column. Thus, embodiments as described herein may provide the benefits of multiple less lost items and allow for a threadless system to be used with larger ornaments, such as nipple ornaments. Drawings The components in the drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles of the invention.

Detailed Description The following description is made for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the embodiments disclosed herein and is not meant to limit the concepts disclosed herein. Furthermore, certain features described herein may be used in combination with other described features in each of the various possible combinations and permutations. Unless specifically defined otherwise herein, all terms are to be given their broadest possible interpretation, including according to the meaning implied by the description and the meaning understood by those skilled in the art and/or defined in dictionaries, papers, or the like. The jewelry industry is positively supported by both threaded and unthreaded jewelry technology. In some embodiments, the threaded jewelry uses a screw-in design to hold the jewelry in place. It may also comprise two parts, a hollow column or barbell bar and a decorative end. The hollow column or barbell bar has a threaded portion on the end and the ornamental end has mating threads. The two parts are screwed together to hold the ornament in plac
