Definitions

  • the invention relates to a locking device for jewelry chains according to the preamble of the independent claim.
  • a slotted ring is arranged on the back of an annular brooch. This ring is held diametrically opposite the slot via the spacer at a distance from the back of the ring-shaped brooch.
  • the ends of the two segments of the ring are resiliently radially outward with their ends adjoining the slot against supporting parts firmly connected to the brooch.
  • the chain is provided at its ends with spherical or pearl-shaped end links which are provided with cross bores with which these end links can be pushed through the slot onto the two segments of the ring.
  • a locking device is known from US-A-3,899,802, in which the ring is pivotally mounted on the brooch via a hinge.
  • the hinge also forms the spacer with which the ring is held at a distance from the back of the brooch.
  • the ring is provided with a slot diametrically opposite the swivel joint.
  • a projection is arranged diametrically opposite the swivel joint on the back of the brooch, which is laterally provided with depressions and which engages in the closed position in the slot of the ring and closes it.
  • a locking member is provided over the ring in the closed position.
  • the end links are provided with a transverse bore with which they can be pushed onto the ring.
  • the diameter of the ring provided with the slot is very much larger than the size of the end links of the chain.
  • Closing devices are also known from DE-OS 19 05 602 and DE-GM 68 04 377, which have two parts that are movable relative to one another, between the contact surfaces of which separable sections of cutouts are formed.
  • pearl-shaped or spherical end or intermediate links of a jewelry chain are inserted into these cutouts, which are then locked to the chain when the closing device is closed.
  • the known locking devices are complicated in their construction, voluminous and require specially designed end links for the chain.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a locking device, the connecting element of which has no moving parts, is simple to manufacture, offers high security against loosening of the jewelry chain and has small dimensions in relation to the jewelry elements of the jewelry chain.
  • the basic element of a metallic locking device according to the invention shown in Fig. 1 has a pair of rings 2 with two rings 4, 6, which are circular here and consist of a profile wire, which can be, for example, a round wire.
  • a profile wire which can be, for example, a round wire.
  • any other cross sections are also possible, for example polyhedron cross sections, oval or elliptical cross sections, wherein the wires can each be solid or hollow.
  • the two rings 4 and 6 are parallel to each other at a distance A which, in the embodiment shown, as shown in FIG. 2, corresponds approximately to the diameter of the profile wire from which the two rings are made. They are essentially congruent in plan view, that is seen from above in FIG. 2. In the embodiment, they have the same diameter and the same thickness of the profile wire.
  • the two rings 4 and 6 lying parallel to one another are connected to one another via a spacer 8.
  • the spacer 8 is a bent section made of the same profile wire as the rings 4 and 6, which is designed as a ring section with the same radius of curvature as the two rings and is soldered between the two rings. This serving as a spacer and connection between the two rings 4 and 6 section extends over an angular range that can be between 15 ° and 120 °.
  • the spacer 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a wire section which is soldered with its axis perpendicular to the plane of the rings 4 and 6 between them. It can be provided in addition to the spacer 8. As you can see, however, a plurality of spacers corresponding to the spacer 10 can also be provided between the rings in order to firmly connect them to one another at the predetermined distance.
  • One of the rings here the ring 4, is provided with a radial slot 12 which can have a width of the order of 1 to 2 mm.
  • the slot 12 is located in the vicinity of a spacer, here the end of the spacer 8.
  • a hook-shaped free section 14 is thus formed, which extends over at least 90 °.
  • a connecting element is attached to the described basic element 2, which can have different configurations.
  • a locking device in which an eyelet 16 is attached to the pair of rings 2, which is here axially parallel to the two rings.
  • the schematically represented pearl necklace 18 is attached to this eyelet 16 with one end of the thread of the pearl necklace via a knot connection.
  • the chain here is a pearl chain drawn in a known manner with intermediate knots on a thread.
  • the end of the chain opposite the end knotted to the eyelet is hooked into the closing device with the end bead 20.
  • the end bead 20 is placed in the space that is encompassed by the two rings.
  • the thread of the chain between the end bead and the next bead is inserted through the slot 12 into the space between the two rings.
  • the end link of the chain, here the end bead 20 is therefore not permanently connected to a closure link, but is simply hung in the locking device according to the invention.
  • the eyelet 16 can also be arranged differently from the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 with the axis rotated by 90 °.
  • two pairs of rings 2 are firmly connected to one another, for example via soldering 24.
  • the two slots 12 are each formed on rings in different planes. The slot is thus formed in the left pair of rings in the ring above and in the right pair of rings in the ring below.
  • the two slots adjoin the connection area, so that the slotted ring each forms a hook-shaped area, which here is greater than 120 ° between the slot and the passage of the chain thread 26 between the two rings in the extended position of use of the chain. Due to the opposite arrangement of the slots 12, a very stable design of the holder of the end beads is achieved.
  • the chain can be hung with its two end beads in the locking device.
  • the two pairs of rings 2, 2 ', which are connected to one another via soldering 24, can be formed with different diameters.
  • a locking device with such a fuse is shown in Fig. 5.
  • a projection 5 is provided at a short distance from the slot 12 on the side facing the other ring, which protrudes into the space between the two rings and thus narrows this space by the height h of this projection.
  • the projection thus forms an obstacle to the connection between the end bead 20 and the adjacent bead, which must be overcome if the end bead is to be released from the closing device 2.
  • the projection 5 can be soldered or pressed out of the ring material.
  • This end link 3 consists of two beads 20A, 20B, 20B which are rigidly connected to each other by a connecting pipe 20C.
  • This connecting tube 20C is inserted into bores in the two beads and glued to the beads.
  • the connecting tube can also be provided with a thread on the sections which engage in the two beads, with which the connecting tube can be inserted into corresponding threaded bores in the beads.
  • the beads have a distance D which corresponds essentially to the thickness d of the rings 4, 6 of the pair of rings.
  • the chain end link 3 is inserted with the end bead 20A into the ring pair 4, 6 of the locking device and the tube 20C is brought through the slot 12 between the rings 4, 6.
  • the end member 3 With the second bead 20B, the end member 3 is pivoted in the pair of rings and pressed with the tube 20C over the projection 5.
  • the slotted ring yields resiliently.
  • the tube 20C To release the chain end link 3, the tube 20C must be pressed over the projection 5 before the chain end link can be released from the locking device.
  • the locking device 2 can also be permanently connected to one end of the chain 18.
  • the slot 12 in one pair of rings is then omitted.
  • the two rings 4, 6 of this pair of rings can be laterally bent apart and bent back after insertion of the end bead 20.
  • the end bead can be unscrewed and inserted into the unslit ring pair.
  • the connecting tube 20C of the end link 3 is then screwed back into the chain between the two rings and, if necessary, secured therein by gluing.
  • the two pairs of rings 2, which in turn are formed here with the same diameter, are at a distance from one another, and a ring 28 is provided here as a connecting element, in which a gem 30 can be enclosed.
  • Fig. 8 shows an embodiment for a two-strand chain.
  • Four pairs of rings 2 are connected to one another here via a plate-shaped connecting element 34.
  • the plate 34 can be designed so that it engages with its edge between the rings of the four pairs of rings and thus acts as a spacer for the rings.
  • the rings are soldered to this plate.
  • the plate itself can be designed in a decorative manner and, for example, gemstones can be inserted into the plate.
  • the end beads 20, 20 'of two chain strands 18, 18' are each suspended. 8 can also be used with a single chain strand.
  • the end beads 20 can be suspended, for example, in diametrically opposed pairs of rings 2.
  • one of the end beads of the two chain strands 18, 18 ' can be non-detachably connected to one of the ring pairs as described above.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 9 corresponds in principle to that according to FIG. 4.
  • the unslit ring 4 of the pair of rings 2 shown on the left is provided with an arched cover 38, which can be closed but also perforated.
  • Such a cover 38 of the unslit ring can also be provided for both ring pairs.
  • the particular advantage of the described locking device is that pearl necklaces can be purchased in the form commercially available as a raw chain without a lock and can be completed with the locking device according to the invention, wherein the locking device can, as mentioned, be easily configured as a decorative element.
  • the chains are with their end pearl Easily hooked into the locking device, and the fact that the end bead lies within the pair of rings provides great security against unintentional unhooking of the chain from the locking device.
  • the chain elements can also be used to connect two or more short chain strands to form a long chain. At the same time, they form a decorative element. It can also be connected at any point in a pearl necklace drawn up with intermediate knots to a pair of rings of a pearl necklace, the two thread sections adjoining the pearl reaching the intermediate space. A pendant or the like provided with a pearl-shaped end link can then be connected to the other pair of rings. The same applies to the other embodiments with two pairs of rings.
