Abstract

The invention relates to a piece of jewellery (1) comprising: a bracelet (2), preferably shaped as a circumferential arc, a drop accessory (5) reversibly attachable to the bracelet (2) at an end of the bracelet. The drop ornament (5) comprises a decorative element, for example shaped as a letter, connected to the pin (11) at a first end (12) thereof. The pendant (5) also comprises an elongated link (14) connected transversely to the pin (11) at a second end (13) of the pin (11) opposite the first end (12). An O-ring (15) is mounted on the pin (11) so as to be interposed between the coupling (14) and the decorative element. The bracelet (2) is integrally connected at the aforementioned end to a block (6) preferably in the shape of a cube or a cuboid, comprising a cavity (16) in which the coupling element (14) can be housed, and an opening (17) through which the coupling element (14) can be passed by inserting it into the cavity (16). The opening (17) is elongate in shape so as not to be penetrated by the coupling member (14) when the coupling member is arranged transversely with respect to the opening (17). The O-ring (15) has a thickness such that it is compressed between the block (6) and the decorative element when the coupling (14) is inserted into the cavity (16). In order to connect the pendant (5) to the bracelet (2), it is sufficient to insert the link (14) into the cavity (16) and to rotate the pendant (5) so that the link (14) is arranged transversely with respect to the opening (17) of the block (6). An O-ring (15) tending to decompress holds the coupling (14) against the portion of the block (6) defining the opening (17) to prevent relative rotation between the drop (5) and the block (6).

Description

Jewelry provided with one or more reversibly couplable accessory elements

Technical Field

The invention applies to the field of jewellery, i.e. to the field of accessories that a person can wear at one or more parts of his/her body. For example, the most widely used jewelry is decorative bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and anklets.

Generally, jewelry can be divided into two categories: suitable as "reduced definition" jewelry and suitable as "decorative type" jewelry. Simple definition jewelry includes only elements that can be attached directly to parts of the human body. Rather, the jewelry item of the accessory type comprises, in addition to the connecting elements described above, also accessory elements which generally have aesthetic properties. An example of reduced-sense jewelry is represented by a bracelet consisting of a cylinder only, which is large enough to be able to be worn at the wrist by inserting the hand therein. In contrast, examples of the jewelry of the accessory type are represented by bracelets: the bracelet, in addition to the cylinder described above, also comprises a plurality of ornaments (i.e. accessory elements) coupled thereto.

Of the two categories of jewelry described above, the present invention relates to a category of jewelry that includes ornamental jewelry. In particular, the invention relates to a customisable jewellery with accessories, i.e. the invention relates to such jewellery with accessories: the accessory element of the accessory-type jewelry can be attached to and detached from the jewelry an unlimited number of times so as to be exchangeable by a user. For ease of description, in the following description, the term "jewelry" will refer only to the type of jewelry with accessories described above.

More precisely, the invention relates to a jewelry item comprising at least a first element directly attachable to a part of the human body, and at least a second accessory element reversibly couplable to said first element. Incidentally, the adverb "reversibly" means that the accessory element can be coupled to and uncoupled from the first element an unlimited number of times.

Background

Customizable jewelry typically includes a plurality of pendants or charms that can be reversibly coupled to elements (e.g., bracelets or necklaces) that can be directly attached to a part of the human body. For ease of description, with reference to a bracelet customizable by a plurality of interchangeable weights, the reversible connection between the weights and the bracelet is generally made according to two modes.

The first mode consists in providing a plurality of small loops for the bracelet and a small hook for each pendant, which can be inserted in any of the above-mentioned loops. Inserting a hook into a loop creates a link between the bracelet and the pendant to which the hook is connected. In order to avoid undesired separation between the pendant and the bracelet, the hooks are usually provided with a closing tooth movable between a first position, in which the hook is open (and thus can be inserted into the loop), and a second position, in which the hook is closed. There is typically a spring in each pendant to hold the teeth in the second position. In order to couple the pendant to the bracelet, it is therefore necessary to move the teeth of a hook provided in the pendant to a first position, insert the hook into the loop of the bracelet while keeping the teeth in the first position, and release the teeth so that the spring triggers it into a second position, so as to prevent the hook from separating from the loop. In order to detach the pendant from the bracelet (for example, to replace it with another pendant), it is necessary to move the teeth of a hook provided in the pendant to a first position, remove the hook from the ring in which it is inserted while keeping the teeth in the first position, and release the teeth so that the spring triggers it into a second position.

A second mode of connecting the bracelet and the pendant consists in forming a threaded coupling between them. More precisely, the bracelet with this mode of connection is provided with a plurality of blocks, each block comprising at least one threaded hole. Each pendant is also provided with a threaded pin that can be coupled into any of the above-mentioned holes. Screwing a pin into one of the above-mentioned holes produces a connection between the bracelet and the pendant to which said pin is connected. In order to detach the pendant from the bracelet, it is sufficient to unscrew the pendant from the block on which it is screwed.

Both of the above connection modes have some disadvantages.

With respect to the first mode, the very small size of the hooks of the pendant and of the loops of the bracelet make the operation of inserting the hooks into the loops very difficult. In addition, although the closure teeth of the hooks prevent the hooks from being undesirably removed from the loops of the bracelet, the closure teeth cannot be easily grasped or moved from the second position to the first position. Thus, the presence of the closing tooth complicates the operations of coupling and uncoupling the pendant from the bracelet.

On the other hand, with regard to the second mode of connection, the operation of screwing and unscrewing the pendant from the bracelet is certainly easier than inserting and removing the hooks to and from the loops of the bracelet. However, in contrast, the pendant does not have a mechanism to prevent it from undesirably separating from the bracelet. Therefore, the risk of losing the pendant when wearing the bracelet is high.

Although the two modes of connection described above are described with reference only to bracelets customizable by means of a plurality of interchangeable pendants, the two modes of connection described above are applied to virtually all customizable jewelry of the belt-accessory type, so as to create a reversible coupling between an element directly attachable to a part of the human body and an accessory element of the jewelry. Thus, the drawbacks highlighted above are generally present in all customizable jewelry with accessories.

Object of the Invention

The object of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks by providing a customizable jewelry with accessories whose accessory elements, although provided with means preventing their undesired removal from the jewelry, are easier to attach and detach from the jewelry than jewelry having the above mentioned first connection mode.

Disclosure of Invention

The present invention relates to a jewelry article comprising:

at least a first element, called "main element", which can be attached to a part of the human body. The first element may comprise, for example, a bracelet, necklace, earring or anklet;

at least a second element, called "accessory element", which can be attached to the first element by means of suitable reversible connection means. The second element may comprise for example a pendant or a piece of jewellery or a part thereof,

wherein, according to the invention, the reversible connection device comprises:

-a pin integrally connected at a first end to the second element;

-an elongated coupling connected transversely to the pin at a second end opposite to the first end, the coupling comprising at least two arms opposite to each other with respect to the pin;

-at least one block for mounting said coupling, connected to said first element, said block comprising:

a base for receiving the coupler;

an opening through which the coupling may be inserted into the base,

the base being sufficiently wide to permit rotation of the coupling member about the longitudinal axis of the pin when the coupling member is received in the base,

the opening is elongate in shape so as to be impenetrable by the coupling when the coupling is arranged transversely with respect to the opening;

-elastic means connected to the pin and interposed between the coupling and the second element, the elastic means being compressed between the block and the second element when the coupling is housed in the seat, so as to exert a force tending to cause the coupling to disengage from the seat.

In the jewelry of the present invention, in order to connect the accessory element to the main element, it is only necessary to:

a) inserting the coupling (through the opening) into the seat of the block;

b) rotating the accessory element such that the coupling is disposed laterally with respect to the opening.

By inserting the coupling into the block, the elastic means are compressed. After the coupling has been arranged transversely with respect to the opening, elastic means tending to decompress hold the arms of the coupling against the block portion delimiting the opening. The friction between the coupling and the block is such as to prevent undesired rotation therebetween, so as to integrally attach the accessory element to the main element.

In order to remove the coupling from the block and therefore to separate the accessory element from the main element, it is necessary:

a) rotating the accessory element (against the friction between the coupler and the block) far enough to bring the coupler into alignment with (so as to be able to pass through) the opening;

b) the coupling is removed from the block.

In the jewellery according to the invention, according to the above, the accessory element is advantageously attachable to the main element with the same ease as that which is characteristic of the threaded coupling described above (second known mode of connection). Furthermore, the elastic means prevent an unintentional separation between the two elements, advantageously with the same safety as that provided by the closing teeth of the hook-and-loop connection system (first known connection mode). In other words, the jewelry of the present invention combines the advantages of the two aforementioned modes of connection, thus overcoming their respective disadvantages.

The elastic means preferably comprise at least one elastic ring (also called "O-ring") screwed onto said pin.

For the avoidance of doubt, the statement that the jewellery comprises a block integrally connected to the main element may equivalently mean that the main element comprises a portion, called "block", in which a seat for housing a coupling element of the accessory element is formed.

Further innovative features of the invention are shown in the following description and are recalled in the dependent claims.

According to an aspect of the present invention, the above connecting device further comprises:

-stopping means for stopping the rotation of the coupling member about the longitudinal axis of the pin when said coupling member housed in said seat is arranged transversely with respect to said opening.

Advantageously, thanks to the presence of said stop means, when the user of the jewellery wants to connect the accessory element to the main element, once the coupling has been inserted in the seat of the block, he can no longer be concerned with placing the coupling transversely with respect to said opening. In fact, the above-mentioned stop means stop the rotation of the coupling in a position such that the coupling is constrained in the block. Thus, on the one hand, the stop makes the operation of coupling the accessory element to the main element of the jewellery easier, and on the other hand, the stop further ensures that unintentional separation of the accessory element from the main element is avoided.

The stop means preferably comprise at least one tooth associated with said portion of the block defining said seat. The tooth protrudes into the seat and is positioned to intercept one of the arms of the link during rotation of the link about the longitudinal axis of the pin.

The invention also relates to a piece of jewelry comprising:

an element attachable to a part of the human body;

at least one block connected to said element and comprising:

-a cavity delimited by at least one wall of said block;

-an elongate opening formed in the wall to allow access to the cavity;

-at least one stop tooth projecting from the wall into the cavity transversely with respect to the opening.

The invention also relates to an accessory element attachable to a piece of jewelry by a connecting device, the connecting device comprising:

a pin integrally connected at a first end to the accessory element;

an elongated coupling element connected transversely to the pin at a second end opposite the first end, the coupling element comprising at least two arms opposite each other with respect to the pin;

an elastic ring, crossed by the pin, so as to be interposed between the coupling and the accessory element.

Detailed Description

In the present description, for the sake of convenience of description, reference will be made to just one exemplary embodiment of the invention, in which the jewellery comprises a bracelet as main element and a pendant containing letters as accessory element. However, the jewelry of the present invention is not limited to the above examples. The jewellery of the invention may comprise any main element attachable to a part of the human body, and any accessory element reversibly attachable to the main element, provided that these elements are provided with a reversible connection device according to the above.

Hereinafter, in the present specification, drawings may also be shown with reference to such elements: this element is not explicitly shown in this figure but is shown in the other figures. The dimensions and proportions of the various elements depicted do not necessarily correspond to actual dimensions and proportions.

Fig. 1 shows a piece of jewelry 1 of the present invention, comprising a bracelet 2, preferably in the shape of a circular arc, and a pendant 3 connected to the bracelet 2 at an end 4 of the bracelet 2. More precisely, the drop ornament 3 comprises a decorative element 5 (better visible in fig. 3A), said decorative element 5 being shaped, for example, as the letter "a" and being engaged in a block 6 integrally connected to the end 4 of the bracelet 2. The bracelet 2 is referred to in the foregoing as the "main element" of the jewellery 1, i.e. as the element that can be attached to a part of the human body. The ornamental element 5 is referred to in the foregoing as "accessory element" of the jewellery 1, i.e. as an element that can be reversibly attached to the main element 1. As will be better described hereinafter in the present description, the drop ornament 3 is reversibly engaged in the block 6, i.e. the drop ornament is separable from the block 6. This makes jewelry 1 a customizable jewelry with accessories.

Fig. 2 shows the piece of jewellery 1 without the pendant 3, i.e. the bracelet 2 together with the block 6. The block 6 is preferably cubic or cuboid in shape and is preferably integrally connected to the bracelet 2 orthogonally to the bracelet 2. The block 6 is hollow to allow at least partial accommodation of the drop ornament 3 therein.

Fig. 3A, 3B and 3C show the pendant 3 in detail. The drop ornament 3 comprises a disc 10 of smaller dimensions with respect to the decorative element 5 and integrally connected to the decorative element 5 at the apex of "a". The disc 10 is preferably arranged orthogonally to the plane in which the decorative element 5 lies. Pendant 3 also comprises a pin 11 integrally connected to disc 10 (and therefore to element 5) at a first end 12. The pin 11 is preferably cylindrical and is preferably connected to the disc 10 orthogonally to the disc 10 and more preferably in such a way that the disc 10 and the pin 11 are coaxial. The pin 11 has a height preferably greater than the thickness of the disc 10 but significantly less than the height of the element 5. The pin 11 is integrally connected to a short bar 14 at a second end 13 opposite the first end 12, the short bar 14 being preferably arranged parallel to the disc 10 and thus orthogonal to the pin 11. The rod 14 is preferably connected at the centre to the end 13 of the pin 11 so as to give the assembly consisting of the pin 11 and the rod 14a substantially T-shape. The lever 14 therefore comprises two arms 14A and 14B, said two arms 14A and 14B being opposite each other with respect to the pin 11 and corresponding respectively to the two top arms of the "T". The arms 14A and 14B are preferably aligned with each other, are preferably arranged orthogonally to the pin 11, and are preferably rounded at their ends opposite to the pin 11. The rod 14 preferably has a length less than the diameter of the disc 10. As will be shown below in this description, the rod 14 acts as a coupling having an elongated shape, by means of which the drop ornament 3 can be engaged in the block 6.

With reference to fig. 3A, 3B and 3C, it can be noted that the drop accessory 3 also comprises a ring 15 screwed onto the pin 11 so as to be interposed between the disc 10 and the coupling 14. More precisely, the ring 15 has a through hole in which the pin 11 passes through the ring 15. Said through hole has a diameter that is smaller than both the diameter of the disc 10 and the length of the stem 14, so that the ring 15 cannot be removed from the pin 11 (and thus connected to the pin 11). The ring 15 is preferably made of an elastically deformable material, more preferably an elastomeric material. Even more preferably, the ring 15 is what is commonly referred to as an "O-ring". The ring 15 preferably has a thickness less than the length of the pin 11 so that a portion of the pin 11 protrudes from the ring 15.

Fig. 4 shows a side plan view of block 6, i.e. from the side where the connection to pendant 3 takes place. The block 6 comprises a cavity 16, the cavity 16 preferably being cubic or cuboid in shape, at which cavity 16 the coupling 14 can be received. Cavity 16 is accessible through an opening 17 formed at a wall 18 of block 6 in fig. 1 facing pendant 3. The opening 17 preferably has the same shape as the coupling 14 but is slightly larger in size so that the coupling 14 can be inserted into the cavity 16 through the opening 17. The cavity 16 has a volume greater than the overall dimensions of the coupling 14. More precisely, the cavity 16 is wide enough to allow the coupling 14 to rotate about the longitudinal axis 19 (shown in fig. 3B) of the pin 11 when the coupling 14 is received in said cavity 16. Since the opening 17 has the same shape as the coupling member 14, the opening is elongated like the coupling member 14. As a result, when the coupling 14 is arranged laterally with respect to the opening 17, the coupling 14 cannot pass through the opening 17. Thus, when the coupling 14 is housed in the cavity 16, the coupling 14 cannot be removed from the block 6 if the coupling 14 is arranged transversely with respect to the opening 17. In other words, when coupling 14 is housed in cavity 16 and arranged transversely with respect to opening 17, drop accessory 3 is connected to block 6 and to bracelet 2 through block 6.

Preferably, cavity 16 has a height (measured in the direction of axis 19) that is greater than the thickness (also measured in the direction of axis 19) of arms 14A and 14B. Thus, the coupling 14 can be inserted into the cavity 16 so that the arms 14A and 14B are raised relative to the wall portion 18 delimiting the opening 17. This is advantageous during the operation of connecting and disconnecting the drop 3 to the block 6, as will be described hereinafter. The ring 15 of the drop ornament 3 has a thickness greater than the distance between the wall 18 and the disc 10 when the coupling element 14 is inserted into the cavity 16. As a result, when coupling 14 is housed in block 6, ring 15 is compressed between wall 18 and disc 10. Advantageously, when coupling 14 is inserted into cavity 16 and arranged transversely with respect to opening 17, ring 15 exerts a force tending to cause coupling 14 to disengage from block 6. Thus, the arms 14A and 14B of the coupling 14 abut against the wall portion 18 delimiting the opening 17. This generates a friction force to prevent undesired rotation between the coupling 14 and the wall 18, thereby integrally connecting the drop accessory 3 to the block 6.

The block 6 preferably comprises a pair of teeth 20 and 21 projecting into the cavity 16 from the wall portion 18 defining the opening 17. The teeth 20 and 21 are positioned to intercept the arms 14A and 14B during rotation of the coupling 14 housed in the cavity 16 about the axis 19. More precisely, the teeth 20 and 21 stop the rotation of the coupling 14 when the coupling 14 housed in the cavity 16 is arranged transversely with respect to the opening 17.

Although two teeth 20 and 21 are shown in fig. 4, the jewelry of the present invention may also comprise a single tooth positioned to intercept arm 14A or arm 14B when link 14, rotating about axis 19 within cavity 16, is disposed laterally with respect to opening 17.

Fig. 5A, 5B and 5C illustrate the operations required to connect the pendant 3 to the bracelet 2. More precisely, in order to obtain said connection, the following steps are required:

a) the pendant 3 is oriented so that the coupling 14 is arranged parallel to the opening 17, and the coupling 14 is inserted into the cavity 16 of the block 6 (as shown in fig. 5A), compressing the ring 15 between the wall 18 and the disc 10. The coupling 14 is preferably inserted into the cavity 16 in such a way that the arms 14A and 14B are raised with respect to the wall portion 8 delimiting the opening 17.

b) The pendant 3 is rotated about the axis 19 (as shown in fig. 5B) until the coupling 14, which abuts against the teeth 20 and 21, is arranged transversely with respect to the opening 17 (as shown in fig. 5C).

The ring 15, which tends to decompress, causes the arms 14A and 14B of the coupling 14 to abut against the wall portion 18 that defines the opening 17. This generates a friction force to prevent undesired rotation between the coupling 14 and the wall 18, thereby integrally connecting the drop accessory 3 to the block 6.

Advantageously, during step B), there is no friction between the coupling 14 and the block 6 against the rotation of the drop 3, since the arms 14A and 14B are raised from the wall 18 delimiting the opening 17.

Conversely, in order to detach the pendant 3 from the bracelet 2, the following steps are required:

a) drop 3 is pushed towards block 6 to further penetrate coupling member 14 into cavity 16 (compressing ring 15 more). Thus, arms 14A and 14B are raised from wall portion 18 of block 6 delimiting opening 17;

b) pendant 3 is rotated so that coupling 14 is aligned with opening 17 so as to be able to pass through the opening.

c) The coupling 14 is removed from the block 6.

According to the above, the pin 11, the link 14, the ring 15 and the block 6 act as reversible connection means between the decorative element 5 and the bracelet 2.

In the exemplary embodiment of the invention illustrated above, the block 6 is connected to the bracelet 2 at the end of the bracelet 2 (indicated by the reference number 4 in the figures). However, the block 6 may be at any position along the bracelet 2. The bracelet 2 may also comprise a plurality of blocks 6.

According to a variant of the jewellery of the invention, the connection between the link 14 and the pin 11 comprises a hinge or a small ring, so that the ornamental element 5 is made to oscillate with respect to the link 14 (and thus with respect to the bracelet 2) instead of being integrally connected to the link 14.

Similar to the jewellery 1, the pendant 3 (comprising the decorative element 5, the pin 11, the coupling element 14 and the ring 15) and the assembly consisting of the bracelet 2 and the block 6 (the block comprising the cavity 16, the opening 17 and optionally one or two teeth 20 and 21) form the subject of the invention.
