Patent Images
1. A decoration device for a nipple comprising:
- a substantially C-shaped, hollow, tubular member;
means for applying a bias force contained within the hollow portion of said substantially C-shaped, hollow, tubular member;
two arcuate support arms connected to said C-shape, hollow, tubular member at the ends of said member, each of said support arms having one end slidably telescopically received within the hollow portion of said substantially C-shaped, hollow, tubular member and one end protruding from said substantially C-shaped, hollow, tubular member; and
two spaced apart arcuate pads, each of said two spaced apart arcuate pads being rigidly attached to the end of each arcuate support arm which protrude-from said substantially C-shaped, hollow tubular member, said spaced apart arcuate pads having concave surfaces confronting each other constructed and arranged for engagement with the sides of the nipple in generally conforming relation thereto;
whereby the decoration device will be held in place on the nipple by a bias force transmitted to said spaced apart arcuate pads by said support arms without causing undue discomfort to the wearer.

Abstract
A nipple decoration device particularly for attachment to a female breast has an integral spring bias which provides a compressive force on two support arms. At the end of each support arm is an arcuate pad which is in contact with the nipple. The nipple decoration device is held in place by the bias force of the integral spring transmitted to the arcuate pads by the support arms.

8. A system for attaching a decoration device to a nipple comprising:
-
means for applying a bias force contained within the decoration device; two support arms connected to said decoration device, each of said support arms having one end slidably telescopically received within the decoration device and one end protruding from the decoration device; and two spaced apart arcuate pads, each of said spaced apart arcuate pads being rigidly attached to the protruding end of a respective one of said support arms, said spaced apart arcuate pads having concave sides confronting each other constructed and arranged for engagement with the sides of the nipple in generally conforming relation thereto; whereby the decoration device will be held in place on the nipple by said bias force transmitted to said spaced apart arcuate pads by said support arms without causing undue discomfort to the wearer. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A decoration device for a nipple comprising:
-
a substantially C-shaped member, said substantially C-shaped member having a central spring bias portion which extends into substantially arcuate support arms integral with and extending from either end of said spring bias portion; and two spaced apart arcuate pads, each of said two spaced apart arcuate pads being rigidly attached to the ends of said substantially arcuate support arms, said spaced apart arcuate pads having smooth continuously concave surfaces confronting each other and constructed and arranged for engagement with the sides of the nipple in generally conforming relation thereto; whereby the decorative device will be held in place on the nipple by a bias force from said spring bias portion transmitted to said spaced apart arcuate pads by said substantially arcuate support arms without causing undue discomfort to the wearer.
