Definitions

  • the innovation concerns a piece of jewelry according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • Pieces of jewelry that are worn around the neck of their wearer at the ends of a chain, ribbon or hoop and that are generally subsumed under the name necklaces are mostly rigid structures or arrangements in which various parts hang freely.
  • the last-mentioned construction creates a certain degree of mobility between different parts of the pieces of jewelry, which, especially when they are larger, enable better adaptation to the wearer and thus appear livelier and more interesting.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a piece of jewelry that is also moved by the movements of the person wearing the piece of jewelry.
  • This object is achieved in a piece of jewelry, in particular in the form of a butterfly or insect, with two fastenings for one end of a chain, a band or hoop in that the fastenings are attached to the free ends of inherently rigid first wires that the other Ends of the first wires are freely pivoted to a body of the piece of jewelry or a part rigidly connected thereto, and that each of the first wires encloses a longitudinally displaceable first eyelet or sleeve, which is attached to one end of a first elongated part, the opposite of which End is pivotally articulated at a distance from the attachment point of the corresponding first wire on the body or a part rigidly connected thereto.
  • This construction ensures that the piece of jewelery is moved along the neck during the movements of the person wearing it, in particular when bending, breathing in and out and when moving the arms, the angle of curvature of the flexible suspension changes, so that the eyelets or sleeves and thus the elongate parts connected to them, which can be the wings of the insect, are displaced along the first wires, which possibly act as sensors of the insect.
  • the contour of the piece of jewelry changes, which increases its appeal and increases the attention drawn to it and thus to the person wearing the piece of jewelry.
  • wire or “wires” is understood to mean any rectilinear or curved elongate element which has a substantially uniform cross-sectional shape at least in the region along which the eyelet or sleeve is to be displaceable. Rod-shaped or full bzya are particularly suitable for this. hollow cylindrical elements.
  • the term "inherently rigid” is understood to mean such dimensional stability that during the movement of the person wearing the piece of jewelry, due to these movements and the weight of the piece of jewelry itself, no permanent deformations, in particular bending, occur.
  • a second, preferably also inherently rigid wire forms the first elongated part, each of the second wires enclosing a longitudinally displaceable second eyelet or sleeve, which is attached to one end of a second elongated part, the opposite end of which is pivotally articulated at a distance from the attachment point of the corresponding second wire on the body or a part rigidly connected to it.
  • a third wire can form the second elongated part, each of the third wires enclosing a third eyelet or sleeve which can be displaced along the same and which is attached to one end of a third elongated part, the opposite end of which in a distance from the attachment point of the corresponding third wire to the body or a part rigidly connected thereto is pivotally articulated.
  • this procedure can be continued repeat, in which case a fourth wire forms the third elongated part and this would be enclosed by a fourth eyelet or sleeve which is attached to one end of a fourth elongated part, the opposite end of which is at a distance from the point of attachment of the corresponding fourth wire to the body or a part that is rigidly connected to this is pivotally articulated, etc.
  • the second eyelet or sleeve and / or the third eyelet or sleeve and / or further eyelets or sleeves likewise surround the first wire instead of the second third or further wire. It is particularly advantageous here if the second and / or third eyelet or sleeve and optionally further eyelets or sleeves are arranged on the first wire outside the first eyelet or sleeve in the order of their counting. According to an alternative embodiment, it is also possible for the second and / or third eyelet or sleeve and optionally further eyelets or sleeves to be arranged within a first eyelet or sleeve.
  • outside here means on the side facing away from the first eyelet or sleeve with regard to the fastening of the first wire to the body of the piece of jewelry or a part rigidly connected thereto, while the designation “inside” means that attachment point with respect to the first eyelet or Sleeve facing side means.
  • the displacement thereof is particularly clearly recognizable.
  • the piece of jewelry is designed as an insect or butterfly, this creates the impression of wings that change in their open position when the person wearing the piece of jewelry moves.
  • attachment points of the first elongated parts relative to the corresponding attachment points of the first wires and / or the attachment points of the second elongated parts relative to the attachment points of the second wires and / or the attachment points of the third or further movable parts relative to the attachment points of the third or further wires are each shifted in a direction that coincides with the direction of gravity when the piece of jewelry is worn and the person standing.
  • the elongate parts are flat, it is particularly advantageous to attach the eyelets or sleeves to the underside thereof.
  • the fastenings of the wires and flat parts are advantageously arranged symmetrically to the longitudinal axis of the body.
  • the extensions are expediently attached symmetrically to the longitudinal axis of the body and / or at one end thereof.
  • the wires are slidably supported on the extensions via eyelets attached to their ends.
  • the extensions can also carry eyelets at their ends, in which the wires can then be slid.
  • the attachment of further parts of the piece of jewelry to the body advantageously takes place on the attachment of at least one of the flat parts, at least one of these further parts also being articulated on the flat part itself in the area facing away from the attachment.
  • At least one further part is expediently hung in loosely, advantageously at that end of the body which points downward when the piece of jewelry is worn.
  • This part is advantageously formed with a relatively large mass compared to the other parts of the piece of jewelry, so that it acts as a weight and tries to pull the piece of jewelry downwards.
  • the extensions are attached to the end of the body opposite the fastening of the weight.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show the piece of jewelry in the form of a butterfly.
  • the free ends 3 and 4 of wires 5 and 6 are fastened in a manner not shown. Any conventional type of connection can be used for fastening.
  • the wires 5 and 6 extend with their inner ends 7 and 8 through eyelets 9 and 10, respectively, which on the free Ends of extensions 11 and 12 are attached.
  • Button-like thickenings 13 and 14 on the inner ends 7 and 8 of the wires 5 and 6 prevent the inner ends 7 and 8 from slipping through the eyelets 9 and 10.
  • the extensions 11 and 12 consist of an arcuate wire piece, which, as shown in Fig. 2, is attached to the back 15 a of the body 15.
  • the extensions 11 and 12 form the antennae of the butterfly.
  • a head part 16 is also attached to the area of the body 15 located between the extensions 11 and 12.
  • brackets 17 and 18, in which the uppermost of three pairs of wings of the butterfly is hung which form flat parts 19 and 20, and 21, 22 and 23, 24.
  • the flat parts 21, 22 and 23, 24, which form the pairs of lower wings of the butterfly are rigidly attached to the body 15 in this case.
  • the planar parts 19 and 20, which form the pair of upper wings and thus come to lie over the other two pairs of wings, are elongated and, on the back of their outer ends, as shown in FIG. 2, have eyelets 25 and 26 through which the wires Pass 5 or 6 loose.
  • a holder 28 is suspended in a bracket 27 such that it can be freely pivoted in the bracket.
  • the socket carries a stone or a gem 29 on its front in the example shown.
  • the socket 28 and gem 29 have a relatively large mass, so that they each hold the butterfly due to the force of gravity acting in the direction of the arrow F. try to pull in the direction of arrow F.
  • the piece of jewelry is assembled as follows: The body 15 is first provided with the brackets 17, 18 and the bracket 27, and optionally with the head part 16. On the underside 15 a is provided with the two eyelets 9 and 10 at its ends Wire part attached. The parts 19 and 20 are then suspended in the brackets 17 and 18 and 27. Then one pushes the wires 5 and 6 through the eyelets 9 and 10 with the free ends 3 and 4, taking care that the free ends 3 and 4 pass through the eyelets 25 and 26. Once this is done, ends 1 and 2 of the rope are attached and the piece of jewelry can be worn. The movement of the person wearing the piece of jewelry causes the wires 5 and 6 to be displaced in such a way that the angle enclosed between them changes.
  • the eyelets 9 and 10 are wide enough to ensure these displacements without difficulty and bending of the extensions 11 and 12.
  • the aforementioned changes in the angle enclosed by the wires 5 and 6 cause the eyelets 25 and 26 at the rear ends of the sheet-like parts 19 and 20 to be raised or lowered, moving along the wires 5 and 6.
  • This raising and lowering of the sheet-like parts 19 and 20, which form the upper wings of the butterfly changes its appearance and it looks as if the butterfly is alive and moving its wings during the movement of the person carrying it.
  • the wings of the individual wing pairs can be connected to one another in such a way that, for example, the lower wing also moves with the movement of the upper wing 2o 24 is moved, in which case the lower wing 24 is loosely suspended in the bracket 18.
  • the jewel shown in Fig. 3 corresponds with respect to its A ufbaues, with respect to the components 1 to 16, the embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
  • Only the body 15 is smaller here and designed as a frame, with a stone or a gem 15 b on its upper side.
  • Attached to the body 15 is a further pair of extensions 31, 32 which run approximately symmetrically with respect to the extensions 11 and 12 with respect to the center line hh which is approximately horizontal when the piece of jewelry is worn.
  • eyelets 33, 34 are attached, through which loosely protrude the end regions of second wires 35 and 36, which are provided at their ends with spherical thickenings 37 and 38, so that, as in the case of the eyelets 9 and 10 and the button-like thickenings 13 and 14 simple articulations are created.
  • sleeves 39 and 40 are fastened such that they enclose the first wires 5 and 6 and are displaceable along the same.
  • the second wires 35 and 36 are in turn surrounded by second sleeves 41 and 42 which are slidable on them and attached to the ends of third wires 43, 44.
  • the wires 43 and 44 which have an S-shaped contour, have eyelets 45, 46 at their opposite ends, which come apart from the body at two mutually parallel lines perpendicular to the line hh rigid extensions 47, 48 are attached. This is done in that the extensions 47, 48 carry pieces of reduced diameter in their end region, onto which the eyelets 45, 46 are loosely pushed, button-like thickenings at the ends preventing the eyelets from sliding down. Swivel connections are also created here, which enable relative movements between the wires 43 and 44 and the extensions 47 and 48. Furthermore, two planar parts 49, 50, which extend in the direction of the extensions 47, 48 and are designed in the form of insect wings, are fastened to the body 15. The flat parts 49 and 50 can be articulated on the body 15.
  • two probe-like rigid extensions 53, 54 are attached to the head part 16 and have eyelets 55, 56 at their ends. Through the eyelets 55, 56 the end regions provided with button-like thickenings of wires 57, 58 extend, which carry sleeves 59, 60 at their ends, which are slidable within the sleeves 39, 40 on the wires 5 and 6. Outside the sleeves 39 and 40, further sleeves 61, 62 are slidably mounted on the wires 5 and 6, which sleeves are fastened to the outer ends of wires 63, 64.
  • the other ends of the wires 63, 64 which run in the shape of a circular arc, extend through eyelets 65, 66 which are attached to the free ends of the leg-like extensions 67, 68 which protrude obliquely backwards from the body 15.
