Abstract

1. A decorative element consisting of a core and a metal wire wound spirally around the core, characterized in that the core (2) consists of plastics, in particular of a highly abrasion-resistant and/or transparent plastics.

Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf ein Schmuckelement, insbe­sondere auf ein Schmuckelement in relativ zur Durchmesser­größe langer Ausbildung.The invention is directed to a decorative element, in particular to a decorative element with a long design relative to the diameter size.

Insbesondere um sich weitere Schmuckelemente, z.B. um den Hals, die Hand oder Fußgelenke zu hängen ist es bekannt, hierzu feine Ketten aus Metall, insbesondere aus Edelme­tall heranzuziehen. Die Kettenglieder sorgen für eine hohe Elastizität. Auch ist es bekannt, hierzu Drahtschlingen heranzuziehen, die häufig außen nochmals mit weiteren Schmuckteilen umgeben sind, wie beispielsweise Perlen aus den unterschiedlichsten Materialien, kleinen Rohrstück­chen, die perlenartig aufgereiht sind und dgl. mehr.In particular around other decorative elements, e.g. around the neck, the hand or the ankles it is known to use fine chains of metal, in particular of precious metal. The chain links ensure high elasticity. It is also known to use wire loops for this purpose, which are often surrounded on the outside with additional pieces of jewelry, such as pearls made from a wide variety of materials, small pieces of pipe that are lined up like pearls, and the like.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist ein Schmuckelement mit einem besonderen ästhetischen Erscheinungsbild zu schaffen, wel­ches anstelle der Ketten oder Drahtschlingen treten kann.The object of the invention is to provide a decorative element with a special aesthetic appearance, which can replace the chains or wire loops.

Bei einem Schmuckelement der eingangs bezeichneten Art wird diese Aufgabe gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß es aus einer Seele aus Kunststoff und wenigstens einem um diese Seele spiralförmig gewickelten Draht aus Metall ge­bildet ist. Dieser Aufbau macht eine sehr unterschiedliche und sehr vielfältige Gestaltung des Schmuckelementes mög­lich. Es ist nämlich möglich, nunmehr so dünne Metalldräh­te zu verwenden, die für eine Kettenbildung gar nicht ge­ eignet wären ohne daß die Festigkeit und Belastbarkeit des Schmuckelementes dadurch gefährdet wäre, da die Be­lastungen von der im Inneren untergebrachten Seele aus Kunststoff aufgenommen werden können.In the case of a decorative element of the type mentioned at the outset, this object is achieved according to the invention in that it is formed from a core made of plastic and at least one wire made of metal which is spirally wound around this core. This structure enables a very different and very diverse design of the jewelry element. It is namely possible to use thin metal wires that are not ge for chain formation would be suitable without the strength and resilience of the jewelery element being jeopardized, since the loads can be absorbed by the plastic core accommodated inside.

Die Erfindung sieht in Ausgestaltung vor, daß die Seele aus einem hochverschleißfesten, insbesondere transparentem Kunststoff besteht. Lediglich als Beispiel sollten hier die Materialien genannt werden, wie sie beispielsweise als Tennisschlägerbespannung bekannt sind. Diese Kunststoffä­den sind hochverschleißfest, d. h. sie halten sehr hohe Belastungen aus und können daher mit Vorteil hier einge­setzt werden.The invention provides in an embodiment that the soul consists of a highly wear-resistant, in particular transparent plastic. The materials as they are known, for example, as tennis racket covering should be mentioned here merely as an example. These plastic threads are highly wear resistant, i. H. they endure very high loads and can therefore be used here with advantage.

In Ausgestaltung sieht die Erfindung vor, daß der spiral­förmig aufgewickelte Metalldraht aus einem Edelmetall be­steht. Die Erfindung ist aber hierauf nicht beschränkt. Hier können auch Drähte, z.B. aus Buntmetall, eingesetzt werden, wobei allerdings der Einsatz von Edelmetallen hier ausdrücklich im Vordergrund steht.In an embodiment, the invention provides that the spirally wound metal wire consists of a noble metal. However, the invention is not limited to this. Wires, e.g. made of non-ferrous metal, although the use of precious metals is explicitly in the foreground.

Ein besonderer Schmuckeffekt läßt sich beispielsweise da­durch erzielen, daß wenigstens zwei Metalldrähte parallel spiralförmig um die Seele gewickelt sind, wobei, wie dies die Erfindung ebenfalls vorsieht, die spiralförmige Wick­lung um die Seele dicht an dicht und/oder auf Abstand er­folgen kann.A particular decorative effect can be achieved, for example, in that at least two metal wires are wound in parallel around the core in a spiral, and, as is also provided by the invention, the spiral winding around the core can be carried out close to one another and / or at a distance.

Wird die Wicklung auf Abstand vorgenommen, bietet gerade die Art und Gestaltung der Seele eine besondere Möglich­keit, den gewünschten Schmuckeffekt zu erhöhen. Gerade bei einer transparenten Seele wirkt die Wicklung völlig frei­schwebend, was einen besonderen ästhetischen Reiz ausübt.If the winding is carried out at a distance, the nature and design of the soul offers a special opportunity to increase the desired decorative effect. Especially with a transparent soul, the winding appears to float completely, which has a special aesthetic appeal.

Andere Schmuckeffekte lassen sich auch durch die Quer­schnittsform der aufgewickelten Metalldrähte erreichen. So können diese querschnittlich rund, elyptisch, rechteckig, dreieckig oder polygon gestaltet sein, oder auch aus Misch­formen dieser geometrischen Grundformen.Other decorative effects can also be achieved through the cross-sectional shape of the coiled metal wires. They can be round, elliptical, rectangular, triangular or polygonal in cross-section, or they can be made from mixed forms of these basic geometric shapes.

Werden Metalldrähte gewickelt, die beispielsweise zwei unterschiedlich farbige Seiten aufweisen, so sieht u. a. hierfür die Erfindung vor, daß der Metalldraht bei der spiralförmigen Wicklung um seine Längsachse tordiert auf der Kunststoffseele aufgebracht wird.If metal wires are wound, which for example have two differently colored sides, u. a. For this, the invention proposes that the metal wire is applied to the plastic core in a twisted manner about its longitudinal axis.

Die Erfindung ist nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung bei­spielsweise näher erläutert. Diese zeigt in

  • Fig. 1-3 drei unterschiedliche Gestaltungsformen des Schmuckelementes sowie in den
  • Fig. 4-7 Längsschnitte durch Teile des Schmuckelementes in unterschiedlicher Gestaltung.
The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing, for example. This shows in
  • Fig. 1-3 three different designs of the jewelry element and in the
  • Fig. 4-7 longitudinal sections through parts of the jewelry element in different designs.

In Fig. 1 besteht das dort mit 1 bezeichnete Schmuckele­ment aus einer Seele 2 aus Kunststoff und einem darauf spiralförmig gewickelten Draht 3, wobei die Wicklung dicht an dicht erfolgt ist. Die zugehörige Querschnittsform zeigt Fig. 4, aus der sich auch ergibt, daß bei fester Wicklung der Draht 3 sich geringfügig in den Kunststoff der Seele 2 eindrückt, wodurch eine sehr hohe Festigkeit unter Beibehaltung einer gewissen Flexibilität erreicht wird.In Fig. 1, the decorative element designated 1 there consists of a core 2 made of plastic and a wire 3 spirally wound thereon, the winding being carried out close to one another. The associated cross-sectional shape is shown in FIG. 4, from which it also follows that, when the winding is tight, the wire 3 is slightly pressed into the plastic of the core 2, whereby a very high strength is achieved while maintaining a certain flexibility.

In Fig. 2 ist eine andere Art der Wicklung dargestellt. Hier besteht das Schmuckelement 1′ aus einer Kunststoff­seele 2′ worum je ein Draht 3′ beispielsweise in recht­eckiger Querschnittsform auf Abstand gewickelt ist, der­art, daß die Seele 2′ immer bereichsweise sichtbar ist. Die entsprechende Querschnittsform ergibt sich bei dieser Gestaltung aus Fig. 5. Auch dort kann der Draht 3′ so fest aufgewickelt sein, daß er bereichsweise in die Seele 2′ eindringt, was allerdingt nicht näher dargestellt ist.Another type of winding is shown in FIG. Here, the decorative element 1 'consists of a plastic core 2' around which a wire 3 'is wound at a distance, for example in a rectangular cross-sectional shape, such that the core 2' is always visible in certain areas. The corresponding cross-sectional shape results in this design from Fig. 5. Also there, the wire 3 'can be wound so tightly that it penetrates into the core 2' in some areas, which is however not shown in detail.

Fig. 3 zeigt schließlich ein Schmuckstück 1", bei dem unterschiedlich farbige Metalldrähte dicht an dicht neben­einander gewickelt sind. Der eine Metalldraht ist dort mit 4 bezeichnet und hell dargestellt, während der andere Me­talldraht mit 5 bezeichnet und dunkel angedeutet ist.3 finally shows a piece of jewelry 1 ″ in which differently colored metal wires are wound close to one another. One metal wire is indicated there by 4 and is shown in bright color, while the other metal wire is designated by 5 and indicated darkly.

In Fig. 6 ist eine Möglichkeit dargestellt, die Metalldräh­te 4′ und 5′ unterschiedlicher Färbung im Abstand zuein­ander zu wickeln, derart, daß die Seele 2" wieder be­reichsweise sichtbar ist.In Fig. 6, a possibility is shown to wrap the metal wires 4 'and 5' of different color at a distance from each other, such that the soul 2 "is again visible in some areas.

Schließlich zeigt Fig. 7 die Möglichkeit auf einer Seele 2‴ einen querschnittlich ovalen Metalldraht 6 spiralför­mig aufzuwickeln.Finally, FIG. 7 shows the possibility of winding a cross-sectionally oval metal wire 6 spirally on a core 2 ‴.

Natürlich sind die beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung noch in vielfacher Hinsicht abzuändern ohne den Grundgedanken zu verlassen. So ist die Erfindung, wie be­reits ausgeführt, nicht auf eine spezielle Querschnitts­form und/oder ein spezielles Metall und/oder eine speziel­le Färbung der Metalldrähte beschränkt, wie dies auch für die Art und Gestaltung und Färbung der Seele gilt.Of course, the described exemplary embodiments of the invention can be modified in many ways without departing from the basic idea. Thus, as already stated, the invention is not restricted to a special cross-sectional shape and / or a special metal and / or a special coloring of the metal wires, as also applies to the type and design and coloring of the soul.
