Piece of jewelery, special chain or bracelet.

The invention relates to pieces of jewelry or jewels such as necklaces, Bracelets and the like, which are made up of a number of hingedly connected to one another in the manner of chain links Elements, and in which each element has permanently attached decorations, e.g. from the choice of materials used, from their shape, from their relief and possibly consist of inserted stones.

The invention is aimed at the creation of a piece of jewelery of this type, but with the outward appearance of a each such element should be able to be changed independently.

The invention thus relates to a piece of jewelry from articulated with one another connected individual parts or - limbs, and consists essentially in the fact that the connection between two adjacent Links consists of mechanical parts that not only allow a pivoting movement between the links according to Art a chain but also a rotation of the links against each other about the longitudinal axis of the piece of jewelry in the manner of rotary shackles allow so that one can carry arbitrarily chosen limbs with each surface facing outwards, and that the limbs are decorated differently on their different surfaces.

Further advantages and details of the invention emerge from the description of an exemplary embodiment below Reference to the drawing ο

- 2 In this show:

Fig. 3.1 is a partially sectioned plan view of some links

of the piece of jewelry and
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of part of the entire jewelry ti & e s ·

The piece of jewelry consists initially in a known manner of a number of links 1, each of one piece / afts several composed pieces, preferably made of precious metal, and whose shape is arbitrary, the different links 1 can have raised or engraved visual motifs} stones can also be used.

A special feature of the invention is that the two outer surfaces of each link 1 in different They are decorated in such a way that they have a different appearance.

The various links 1, either all of the same design can be or differ both in cut and appearance can, are according to the invention in a mechanical manner connected in such a way that they can be pivoted against each other perpendicular to their plane and optionally also in the direction their levels, as is known in the case of the links of a chain, and that they are independent of each other in relation to each other the other links can be rotated around the longitudinal axis of the chain formed in this way,

In the preferred embodiment of the invention in that shown Execution, which is not of any limiting importance in this regard, can be the mechanical connection by means of a connecting piece 2, one end of which has a head 3

0098U / 01 SB

has, which protrudes into a hole 4- in a chain link, and The other end forms an eye 5 which can be pivoted on one of the Axis 7 is supported, which is located between two protruding tabs 6 on other chain link thus resulting in a twisted crochet-like Link·-

The hole or opening 4 into which the bore 8 leads, which rotatably accommodates the connection 2, is expedient of one of those Openings formed which serve as a setting for precious stones when - which is usually the case - the links 1 with precious stones are distorted

On this VLise, each link can essentially be around the The longitudinal axis of the chain can be rotated as the connecting links or pins 2 can rotate in the holes 3, at the same time the limbs can also be perpendicular to their planes relative move towards each other, since a rotary movement around the axes 7 is possible · Depending on whether one uses the rotatable connections with more or If there is less play, it may also be a relation / movement of the chain links in their levels possible

Thus, the piece of jewelry formed after the discovery, i.e. a necklace, a simple necklace, a bracelet or an ear pendant can be used in multiple ways.

First of all, all links 1 can be arranged so that they with their corresponding surfaces that have decorative motifs, pointing outwards

Second, you can see all the links in the chain with their other sides containing other decorative elements have to face outwards

Furthermore, each link can be oriented independently of the other, i. be rotated, so it is up to the user in which

Order she wants to show the different motifs.

So you can see the appearance of the jewelry gioco without any decrease change the appearance of the wrist or neck, for example

All the details shown are important for the invention «

Claims (2)

[Specimen copy [May not be changed 1J1 en! Claims 15 5 7588 1. piece of jewelry made of articulated links, d u r ch marked that between successive links mechanical connecting means are seen that not only pivot the links allow each other in the manner of chain links, but also the rotation of the individual chain links relative to each other in the manner of a rotary shackle, so that any surface of the links can be chosen to face outwards, and that the links have different decorations on their different surfaces. 2. Piece of jewelery according to claim 1, characterized in that two links are connected by an intermediate piece, which with respect to a link around the longitudinal axis of the piece of jewelry is rotatable and is pivotally connected to the other member about an axis which lies in the plane of this second member and is perpendicular to the axis of rotation 0098U / 0156 Blank page
