Definitions
- the subject of the invention is a stone mounting system for jewelry articles such as: rings, bracelets, pendants, brooches, earrings ...
- the support for the stones is in fact constituted by a generally L-shaped profile, the horizontal wing of which has orifices serving as seats for the cylinder heads of the stones, and the vertical wing of which has a groove in which the roundness of each stone is held in abutment by two rods which are welded to the horizontal wing of the profile and have their upper ends folded down by crimping above the rounder.
- the stone is thus held in at least three zones.
- This assembly gives all satisfaction for jewelry with only one row of stones. It is certainly usable for jewelry comprising two rows of stones, the L-shaped section then being replaced by an inverted T-shaped section.
- the fixing of the stones is as effective as in the first case, whatever the size of the stones, but the soul of the inverted T constitutes a barrier which harms the brilliance of the stones.
- the invention eliminates this drawback. It relates to a mounting system in which the round or substantially round stones are carried by a frame or body which delimits a frame or housing inside which they are fixed, the body having on the one hand, in the bottom of the frame or housing, orifices which are equal in number to that of the stones, are arranged in at least two parallel rows, and serve as support and housing at the point of the breech of the stones; and on the other hand, in its peripheral wall, a groove (7) in which the rondistres (9) of the stones (2) bear.
- the stones are joined longitudinally and transversely but four by four delimit an orifice crossed by a rod whose lower end is fixed to the bottom of the body and whose upper end is crimped above round stones from the four stones.
- (1) denotes the body of a ring which, in its thicker front face, carries stones (2) arranged in two rows of four stones each.
- the body (1) comprises for this purpose, in its zone of greater thickness, a housing (3), of generally parallelepiped shape.
- This housing is open upwards, that is to say towards the visible face of the ring; and in its bottom are pierced, right through, orifices (4), the number of which is equal to that of the stones (2), and the arrangement of which is identical to that which the stones must adopt.
- These orifices (4) are therefore arranged in two parallel rows each comprising four orifices.
- blind holes (5) which, in the case shown in the drawing, are three in number. These holes are arranged along a longitudinal center line of the housing (3); they are located on this line at the points of intersection with the transverse lines passing through the junction zones between the stones.
- These holes (5) are intended for fixing rods (6); this fixing is done by welding.
- a peripheral groove (7) In the wall of the housing (3) is arranged a peripheral groove (7). It is this groove which, in combination with the orifices (4) and with the rods (6), allows the immobilization of the stones inside the housing (3), and therefore in the body of the ring.
- the stones (2) indeed penetrate each in an orifice (4) of the body of the jewel, and by their round (9) the stones each take support in the groove (7) of the housing (3) .
- the assembly of stones (2) and housing (3) having been correctly dimensioned, the stones are contiguous inside this housing; and their final immobilization is obtained by means of the rods (6), the upper end (10) of which is transformed by crimping into a head which partially covers the circle of the four stones situated around each rod.
- the rods (6) therefore behave like nails by which the stones (2) are definitively immobilized inside the housing (3) arranged in the body (1) of the ring.
- the fixing of the stones (2) is carried out very effectively, even if they are stones of small dimensions; and due to the particularly reduced surface of the fixing means relative to the surface of the stones, the brilliance of the latter is brought to the maximum; the stone surface hidden by the fixing means is indeed reduced to a minimum.

Abstract
Description
L'invention a pour objet un système de montage de pierres pour articles de bijouterie tels que : bagues, bracelets, pendentifs, broches, boucles d'oreilles...The subject of the invention is a stone mounting system for jewelry articles such as: rings, bracelets, pendants, brooches, earrings ...
Les montages traditionnels utilisent des supports dans lesquels les pierres sont serties. Ces supports sont souvent des anneaux ou, plus généralement, des chatons à deux, trois ou quatre griffes. Ces montages ne permettent ni de fixer avec sécurité des pierres de petites dimensions, ni de mettre suffisamment en évidence la brillance des pierres, car ils en dissimulent une trop grande surface.Traditional assemblies use supports in which the stones are set. These supports are often rings or, more generally, kittens with two, three or four claws. These arrangements do not allow the secure fixing of small stones, nor sufficiently highlight the brilliance of the stones, since they conceal too large a surface.
Dans le FR-A-2 450 078 le Demandeur a décrit un autre moyen de montage ne présentant pas ces inconvénients. Le support des pierres est en effet constitué par un profilé en forme générale de L, dont l'aile horizontale présente des orifices servant de sièges aux culasses des pierres, et dont l'aile verticale comporte une saignée dans laquelle le rondistre de chaque pierre est maintenu en appui par deux tiges qui sont soudées sur l'aile horizontale du profilé et ont leurs extrémités supérieures rabattues par sertissage au-dessus du rondistre. La pierre est ainsi tenue en au moins trois zones.In FR-A-2 450 078 the Applicant has described another mounting means which does not have these drawbacks. The support for the stones is in fact constituted by a generally L-shaped profile, the horizontal wing of which has orifices serving as seats for the cylinder heads of the stones, and the vertical wing of which has a groove in which the roundness of each stone is held in abutment by two rods which are welded to the horizontal wing of the profile and have their upper ends folded down by crimping above the rounder. The stone is thus held in at least three zones.
Ce montage donne toute satisfaction pour les bijoux ne comportant qu'une rangée de pierres. Il est certes utilisable pour des bijoux comportant deux rangées de pierres, le profilé en L étant alors remplacé par un profilé en T renversé. La fixation des pierres est aussi efficace que dans le premier cas, quelle que soit la dimension des pierres, mais l'âme du T renversé constitue une barrière qui nuit à la brillance des pierres.This assembly gives all satisfaction for jewelry with only one row of stones. It is certainly usable for jewelry comprising two rows of stones, the L-shaped section then being replaced by an inverted T-shaped section. The fixing of the stones is as effective as in the first case, whatever the size of the stones, but the soul of the inverted T constitutes a barrier which harms the brilliance of the stones.
L'invention écarte cet inconvénient. Elle a pour objet un système de montage dans lequel les pierres rondes ou sensiblement rondes sont portées par une monture ou corps qui délimite un cadre ou logement à l'intérieur duquel elles sont fixées, le corps présentant d'une part, dans le fond du cadre ou logement, des orifices qui sont en nombre égal à celui des pierres, sont disposés suivant au moins deux rangées parallèles, et servent d'appui et de logement à la pointe de la culasse des pierres ; et d'autre part, dans sa paroi périphérique, une saignée (7) dans laquelle prennent appui les rondistres (9) des pierres (2).The invention eliminates this drawback. It relates to a mounting system in which the round or substantially round stones are carried by a frame or body which delimits a frame or housing inside which they are fixed, the body having on the one hand, in the bottom of the frame or housing, orifices which are equal in number to that of the stones, are arranged in at least two parallel rows, and serve as support and housing at the point of the breech of the stones; and on the other hand, in its peripheral wall, a groove (7) in which the rondistres (9) of the stones (2) bear.
Dans le système de montage selon l'invention les pierres sont jointives longitudinalement et transversalement mais délimitent quatre à quatre un orifice traversé par une tige dont l'extrémité inférieure est fixée sur le fond du corps et dont l'extrémité supérieure est sertie au-dessus des rondistres des quatre pierres.In the mounting system according to the invention, the stones are joined longitudinally and transversely but four by four delimit an orifice crossed by a rod whose lower end is fixed to the bottom of the body and whose upper end is crimped above round stones from the four stones.
L'invention sera bien comprise d'ailleurs à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de ce système de montage dans le cas de son application à une bague :
- Figure 1 est une vue en perspective de cette bague ;
- Figure 2 est, à plus grande échelle, une vue en plan de sa zone portant les pierres, et
- Figure 3 est, à plus grande échelle encore, une vue en coupe suivant 3-3 de figure 2.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of this ring;
- Figure 2 is, on a larger scale, a plan view of its area bearing the stones, and
- Figure 3 is, on an even larger scale, a sectional view along 3-3 of Figure 2.
Dans ce dessin, (1) désigné le corps d'une bague qui, dans sa face antérieure de plus grande épaisseur, porte des pierres (2) disposées suivant deux rangées de quatre pierres chacune.In this drawing, (1) denotes the body of a ring which, in its thicker front face, carries stones (2) arranged in two rows of four stones each.
Le corps (1) comporte à cet effet, dans sa zone de plus grande épaisseur, un logement (3), de forme générale parallélépipédique. Ce logement est ouvert vers le haut, c'est-à-dire en direction de la face visible de la bague ; et dans son fond sont percés, de part en part, des orifices (4), dont le nombre est égal à celui des pierres (2), et dont la disposition est identique à celle que les pierres doivent adopter. Ces orifices (4) sont donc disposés suivant deux rangées parallèles comportant chacune quatre orifices.The body (1) comprises for this purpose, in its zone of greater thickness, a housing (3), of generally parallelepiped shape. This housing is open upwards, that is to say towards the visible face of the ring; and in its bottom are pierced, right through, orifices (4), the number of which is equal to that of the stones (2), and the arrangement of which is identical to that which the stones must adopt. These orifices (4) are therefore arranged in two parallel rows each comprising four orifices.
Dans le fond du logement (3) sont en outre percés des trous borgnes (5) qui, dans le cas représenté au dessin, sont au nombre de trois. Ces trous sont disposés suivant une ligne longitudinale médiane du logement (3) ; ils sont situés sur cette ligne aux points d'intersection avec les lignes transversales passant par les zones de jonction entre les pierres.In the bottom of the housing (3) are also drilled blind holes (5) which, in the case shown in the drawing, are three in number. These holes are arranged along a longitudinal center line of the housing (3); they are located on this line at the points of intersection with the transverse lines passing through the junction zones between the stones.
Ces trous (5) sont destinés à la fixation de tiges (6) ; cette fixation est faite par soudure.These holes (5) are intended for fixing rods (6); this fixing is done by welding.
Dans la paroi du logement (3) est aménagée une saignée périphérique (7). C'est cette saignée qui, en combinaison avec les orifices (4) et avec les tiges (6), permet l'immobilisation des pierres à l'intérieur du logement (3), et donc dans le corps de la bague.In the wall of the housing (3) is arranged a peripheral groove (7). It is this groove which, in combination with the orifices (4) and with the rods (6), allows the immobilization of the stones inside the housing (3), and therefore in the body of the ring.
Par leurs culasses (8), les pierres (2) pénètrent en effet chacune dans un orifice (4) du corps du bijou, et par leur rondistre (9) les pierres prennent chacune appui dans la saignée (7) du logement (3). L'ensemble pierres (2) et logement (3) ayant été correctement dimensionné, les pierres sont contiguës à l'intérieur de ce logement ; et leur immobilisation définitive est obtenue grâce aux tiges (6), dont l'extrémité supérieure (10) est transformée par sertissage en une tête qui recouvre partiellement le rondistre des quatre pierres situées autour de chaque tige. Les tiges (6) se comportent donc à la manière de clous grâce auxquels les pierres (2) sont définitivement immobilisées à l'intérieur du logement (3) aménagé dans le corps (1) de la bague.By their cylinder heads (8), the stones (2) indeed penetrate each in an orifice (4) of the body of the jewel, and by their round (9) the stones each take support in the groove (7) of the housing (3) . The assembly of stones (2) and housing (3) having been correctly dimensioned, the stones are contiguous inside this housing; and their final immobilization is obtained by means of the rods (6), the upper end (10) of which is transformed by crimping into a head which partially covers the circle of the four stones situated around each rod. The rods (6) therefore behave like nails by which the stones (2) are definitively immobilized inside the housing (3) arranged in the body (1) of the ring.
Comme on le conçoit, et comme cela ressort du dessin, la fixation des pierres (2) est réalisée de façon très efficace, même s'il s'agit de pierres de petites dimensions ; et en raison de la surface particulièrement réduite des moyens de fixation par rapport à la surface des pierres, la brillance de ces dernières est mise au maximum en évidence ; la surface de pierre cachée par les moyens de fixation est en effet réduite au minimum.As can be seen, and as is apparent from the drawing, the fixing of the stones (2) is carried out very effectively, even if they are stones of small dimensions; and due to the particularly reduced surface of the fixing means relative to the surface of the stones, the brilliance of the latter is brought to the maximum; the stone surface hidden by the fixing means is indeed reduced to a minimum.
Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution de ce système de montage de pierres pour articles de bijouterie qui a été ci-dessus décrit à titre d'exemple ; elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes de réalisation, quel que soit bien entendu le bijou dont il s'agit, et elle étend son champ d'application au cas où les tiges servant de clous de fixation seraient soudées sur le fond du support sans qu'aient été prévus des trous borgnes servant à leur centrage.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of this stone mounting system for jewelry items which has been described above by way of example; on the contrary, it embraces all the variant embodiments thereof, whatever the jewel in question is of course, and it extends its field of application to the case where the rods serving as fixing nails are welded to the bottom of the support without having been provided with blind holes for centering.
