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 aus einer Seele und aus einem um die Seele spiralförmig gewickelten Draht aus Metall.The invention is directed to a decorative element consisting of a core and a wire made of metal wound spirally around the core.

Ein derartiges Schmuckelement ist beispielsweise aus der US-A 3 783 081 bekannt, die der Erzeugung eines Metalldrahtes mit Metallseele aus z.B. einem Edelmetall offenbart. Um sich weitere Schmuckelemente, z.B. um den Hals, die Hand oder die Fußgelenke hängen zu können, ist es darüber hinaus bekannt, hierzu feine Ketten aus Metall, insbesondere aus Edelmetall, haranzuziehen. Derartige Kettenglieder sorgen für eine hohe Elastizität. Auch ist es bekannt, sehr weiche Schnüre aus Leder oder anderem Material einzusetzen, auf die Perlen aus den unterschiedlichsten Materialien, kleine Rohrstückchen oder dgl. aufgereiht werden können (US-A 4 238 935).Such a decorative element is known for example from US-A 3 783 081, which is used to produce a metal wire with a metal core from e.g. disclosed a precious metal. In order to add other decorative elements, e.g. in order to be able to hang the neck, the hand or the ankles, it is also known to pull fine chains of metal, in particular of precious metal, for this purpose. Such chain links ensure high elasticity. It is also known to use very soft cords made of leather or other material, onto which beads made from a wide variety of materials, small pieces of pipe or the like can be strung (US Pat. No. 4,238,935).

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

Bei einem Schmuckelement der eingangs bezeichneten Art wird diese Aufgabe gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die Seele aus Kunststoff, insbesondere aus einem hochverschleißfesten und/oder transparenten Kunststoff besteht. 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 geeignet 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 the core consists of plastic, in particular of a highly wear-resistant and / or transparent plastic. This structure enables a very different and very diverse design of the jewelry element. It is in fact possible to use thin metal wires that would not be suitable for chain formation without endangering the strength and resilience of the decorative element, since the loads can be absorbed by the plastic core inside.

Lediglich als Beispiel sollten hier die Materialien genannt werden, wie sie beispielsweise als Tennisschlägerbespannung bekannt sind. Diese Kunststoffäden sind hoch verschleißbar, d.h. sie halten sehr hohe Belastungen aus und können daher mit Vorteil hier eingesetzt werden.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 wearable, i.e. 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 special 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 inThe invention is explained below with reference to the drawing, for example. This shows in

Fig. 1-3 drei unterschiedliche Gestaltungsformen des Schmuckelementes sowie in denFig. 1-3 three different designs of the jewelry element and in the

Fig. 4-7 Längsschnitte durch Teile des Schmuckelementes in unterschiedlicher Gestaltung.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 allerdings 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, in such a way that the core 2' is always visible in some areas. The corresponding cross-sectional shape results in this design from FIG. 5. The wire 3 'can also be wound there so tightly that it penetrates into the core 2' in some areas, which is not shown in any more detail, however.

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 brightly, while the other metal wire is indicated 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.6 shows a possibility of winding the metal wires 4 'and 5' of different colors at a distance from one another in such a way that the core 2 "is again visible in certain 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.
