Description

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, Schmuckstück und Dekorelement so aufeinander abzustimmen, daß eine leichte Montage und Demontage des Dekorelementes am Schmuckstück bei dennoch sicherer Halterung in der Gebrauchsposition des Schmuckstückes erreicht wird.The object of the invention is so jewelry and decorative element to coordinate with each other that easy assembly and disassembly of the Decorative element on the piece of jewelry with nevertheless secure mounting in the Use position of the piece of jewelry is reached.

US-A-2 431 232 offenbart ein Schmuckstück mit einem Träger und einem an diesem lösbar gehaltenen Dekorelement.US-A-2 431 232 discloses a piece of jewelry with a carrier and a decorative element detachably held on this.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is achieved according to the characterizing part of claim 1 solved.

Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung beinhaltet somit zwei Komponenten, nämlich die lösbare Halterung des Dekorelementes auf dem Träger und die Definition einer Arretierposition des Dekorelementes auf dem Träger, in der das Dekorelement mittels elastisch wirkender Halteelemente verriegelt und gegen unbeabsichtiges Entnehmen gesichert ist.The basic idea of the invention thus includes two components, namely the releasable mounting of the decorative element on the carrier and the definition of a locking position of the decorative element on the Carrier in which the decorative element by means of elastically acting holding elements locked and secured against unintentional removal is.

Sowohl als Dekorelement als auch als Träger können die verschiedenartigsten Elemente verwendet werden, die insbesondere hinsichtlich ihres Designs aufeinander abgestimmt sein können, aber auch hinsichtlich ihres jeweiligen Verwendungszwecks (Teil eines Ringes, eines Colliers, eines Armbandes oder ähnlichem) in vielfältiger Weise ausgebildet sein können, wobei lediglich die eingangs erwähnte Grundfunktion (lösbare Halterung und elastisch wirkendes Halteelement) gewährleistet sein muß.The most varied can be used both as a decorative element and as a support Items are used that are particularly regarding their design can be coordinated, but also in terms of their respective purpose (part of a ring, a necklace, a bracelet or the like) in various Can be designed in such a way, only the one mentioned at the beginning Basic function (detachable holder and elastic holding element) must be guaranteed.

Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel eines solchen. Schmuckstückes wird anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert: A preferred embodiment of such. jewelery is explained in more detail with reference to the drawings:

Als Träger dient ein Federstahlbügel 10 mit rechteckigem Querschnitt, der in seinem mittleren Teil 10A gerade und in den beiden anschließenden Bereichen 10B,10C bogenförmig ausgebildet ist. Im Abstand von seinem geraden Bereich ist er durch beidseitig je ein Widerlager in Form einer Hülse 11 und 12 geführt.A spring steel bracket 10 with a rectangular cross section serves as the carrier, that in its middle part 10A straight and in the two adjoining areas 10B, 10C is arcuate. in the The distance from its straight area is one on both sides Abutment in the form of a sleeve 11 and 12 out.

Auf die beiden bogenförmigen Bereiche 10B.10C dieses Federstahlbügels 10 sind zwischen dem mittleren Teil 10A und den Hülsen 11 und 12 beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel zwei elastisch verformbare Schläuche 30,40 aus Gummimaterial oder synthetischem Material aufgesteckt, deren rückwärtige Stirnseite an die Hülse 11 bzw. 12 anstößt und deren im Übergangsbereich zu dem geradlinigen zentralen Abschnitt des Federstahlbügels 10 liegenden Stirnseiten 31 und 41 von einem hülsenähnlichen Aufsteckelement 35,45 gebildet werden. Die beiden Hülsen 11 und 12 dienen als Widerlager, da ein geschlossener Schlauch 50 definierter Länge den Abstand dieser beiden Hülsen 11 und 12 vorgibt. Die Aufsteckelemente 35,45 sind auf dem mittleren Teil 10A verschiebbar.On the two arcuate areas 10B.10C this Spring steel bracket 10 are between the central part 10A and Sleeves 11 and 12 in the illustrated embodiment two elastically deformable hoses made of rubber material or synthetic material, the rear end of which is attached the sleeve 11 or 12 abuts and in the transition area to the rectilinear central section of the spring steel bracket 10 lying End faces 31 and 41 of a sleeve-like plug-on element 35.45 are formed. The two sleeves 11 and 12 serve as Abutment, since a closed hose 50 of defined length Distance between these two sleeves 11 and 12 specifies. The clip-on elements 35, 45 are slidable on the middle part 10A.

Von erfindungswesentlicher Bedeutung hierbei ist, daß durch diese Lagerung somit der Abstand X der beiden gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten 31 und 41 der beiden Aufsteckelemente 35,45 variabel ist und die Einführung eines Dekorelementes 20 auf den geradlinigen Abschnitt 10A des Federstahlbügels 10 gestattet. Die Stirnseiten 31 und 41 der hülsenförmigen Aufsteckelemente 35,45 weisen hierbei eine erste Profilierung P1 auf, die beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als ein Abschnitt eines Kugelsegmentes ausgebildet ist.Of essential importance to the invention is that this Storage thus the distance X of the two opposite End faces 31 and 41 of the two plug-on elements 35, 45 is variable and the introduction of a decorative element 20 on the straight line Section 10A of the spring steel bracket 10 allowed. The end faces 31 and 41 of the sleeve-shaped push-on elements 35, 45 have one first profiling P1 on the shown Embodiment as a section of a spherical segment is trained.

Das Dekorelement 20, dessen Form beliebig ist bzw. ausschließlich von Design-Überlegungen bestimmt ist, weist einen hülsenförmigen Einsatz 21 auf, dessen Innenvolumen durch einen Axialschlitz 22 von der Außenseite des Dekorelementes 20 zugänglich ist. Der Innenquerschnitt des Einsatzes 21 und der Axialschlitz 22 sind dabei derart auf den Querschnitt des Federstahlbügels 10 abgestimmt, daß der mittlere Teil 10A des Federstahlbügels 10 zwischen den beiden Stirnseiten 31 und 41 in den Axialschlitz 22 bis zum Innenquerschnitt eingeführt werden kann und das Dekorelement 20 in dieser Position um einen Winkel von bevorzugt 90° auf dem Federstahlbügel 10 verdreht werden kann, derart, daß in der verdrehten Position ein Abnehmen des Dekorelementes 20 vom Federstahlbügel 10 nicht mehr möglich ist, da die Breite des Axialschlitzes 22 die Herausnahme des Federstahlbügels 10 mit seinen breiteren Seitenflächen nicht gestattet.The decorative element 20, the shape of which is arbitrary or exclusive is determined by design considerations, has a sleeve-shaped Insert 21, whose internal volume through an axial slot 22 of the outside of the decorative element 20 is accessible. The inside cross section the insert 21 and the axial slot 22 are such matched to the cross section of the spring steel bracket 10 that the middle part 10A of the spring steel bracket 10 between the two End faces 31 and 41 in the axial slot 22 to Internal cross section can be inserted and the decorative element 20 in this position by an angle of preferably 90 ° on the Spring steel bracket 10 can be rotated such that in the twisted position a removal of the decorative element 20 from Spring steel bracket 10 is no longer possible because the width of the Axial slot 22 the removal of the spring steel bracket 10 with its wider side surfaces not allowed.

Der Einsatz 21 weist nun auf seinen beiden gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten 23 und 24 ebenfalls eine Profilierung P2 auf, die beim Ausführungsbeispiel ebenfalls als Abschnitte eines Kugelsegmentes entsprechend der Profilierung P1 ausgebildet ist.The insert 21 now faces on its two opposite ends 23 and 24 also have a profile P2, which in the exemplary embodiment also as sections of a Ball segment is designed according to the profile P1.

Die beiden Kugelschalenprofilierungen P1 und P2 sind nun so auf ihren jeweiligen Stirnseiten 31,41 bzw. 23,24 positioniert, daß sie in formschlüssigen Eingriff kommen, wenn das Dekorelement 20 in der um 90° verdrehten Position auf dem Federstahlbügel 10 liegt (wo es nicht mehr entnommen werden kann). Unter der Rückstellkraft der elastischen Schläuche 30 und 40 kommt das Dekorelement 20 in genau dieser Position dann über die korrespondierenden Profilierungen P1,P2 in Eingriff mit den beiden Stirnseiten der Aufsteckelemente 35 und 45, so daß durch dieses Einschnappen oder Einrasten die unverlierbare Halterung des Dekorelementes 20 auf dem Federstahlbügel 10 gesichert wird.The two spherical shell profiles P1 and P2 are now open their respective end faces 31, 41 and 23, 24 positioned that they come into positive engagement when the decorative element 20 in the 90 ° rotated position on the spring steel bracket 10 (where it can no longer be removed). Under the restoring force of the elastic hoses 30 and 40, the decorative element 20 comes in exactly this position then via the corresponding profiles P1, P2 in engagement with the two end faces of the plug-on elements 35 and 45, so that by snapping or snapping the captive mounting of the decorative element 20 on the Spring steel bracket 10 is secured.

Zur Verdeutlichung wird anhand der Figur 5 die Montage des Dekorelementes 20 auf den Federstahlbügel 10 kurz veranschaulicht:For the sake of clarity, FIG. 5 shows the assembly of the decorative element 20 briefly illustrates on the spring steel bracket 10:

Die Anfangsposition ist die in Figur 5 dargestellte; durch Verschiebung in Richtung des Pfeils 1 läßt sich das Dekorelement 20 auf den Federstahlbügel 10 aufstecken bzw. der Federstahlbügel 10 über den Axialschlitz 22 in den Innenquerschnitt des hülsenförmigen Einsatzes 21 einführen, wenn die beiden Schläuche 30,40 in ihrer elastisch zurückgezogenen Position sich befinden, so daß das lichte Maß zwischen den beiden Stirnseiten der Schläuche ausreichend ist, um den Einsatz 21 mitsamt Profilierungen P2 auf den Federstahlbügel 10 aufzusetzen. In dieser Position befinden sich die beiden Profilierungen P1 und P2 nicht im Formschlußeingriff, die beiden Schläuche 30 und 40 werden also in ihrer auseinandergespreizten Position gehalten.The starting position is that shown in Figure 5; by shift in the direction of arrow 1, the decorative element 20 on the Attach the spring steel bracket 10 or the spring steel bracket 10 over the Axial slot 22 in the inner cross section of the sleeve-shaped insert 21 insert when the two hoses 30.40 in their elastic retracted position so that the clear dimension between the two end faces of the hoses is sufficient to the insert 21 together with profiles P2 on the spring steel bracket 10 sit up. The two are in this position Profiling P1 and P2 not in positive engagement, the two Hoses 30 and 40 are thus spread apart Position held.

Als nächste Bewegung wird das Dekorelement in Richtung des Pfeiles 2 in der aufgesteckten Position um 90° verschwenkt, in der infolge des rechteckigen Querschnitts des Federstahlbügels 10 eine Abnahme des Dekorelementes 20 vom Federstahlbügel 10 nicht mehr möglich ist.The next movement is the decorative element in the direction of arrow 2 pivoted by 90 ° in the attached position, in the position due to the rectangular cross section of the spring steel bracket 10 a decrease in Decorative element 20 from the spring steel bracket 10 is no longer possible.

In dieser Arretierposition (sozusagen der "Funktionsposition" des Dekorelementes 20) liegen sich die beiden korrespondierenden Profilierungen P1 und P2 auf den dann gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten so gegenüber, daß sie unter der elastischen Gegenkraft der beiden Schläuche 30 und 40, die eine Schließbewegung in Richtung der Pfeile 3 ausführen, in formschlüssigen Eingriff gebracht werden. Durch diesen formschlüssigen Eingriff der Profilierungen P1,P2 wird die Positionierung des Dekorelementes 20 auf dem Federstahlbügel 10 gesichert, so daß ein unbeabsichtigtes Verdrehen um 90° und die anschließende Herausnahme des Dekorelementes 20 nur dann möglich ist, wenn mit einer entsprechenden Betätigungskraft die beiden Enden der Schläuche 30 und 40 so weit auseinandergezogen oder auseinandergedrückt werden, daß die beiden korrespondierenden Profilierungen P1 und P2 wieder außer Eingriff gebracht werden können.In this locking position (so to speak, the "functional position" of the Decorative element 20) are the two corresponding profiles P1 and P2 on the opposite ends opposite that they are under the elastic counterforce of the two Hoses 30 and 40 which have a closing movement in the direction of the arrows 3 perform, be brought into positive engagement. By this positive engagement of the profiles P1, P2 is the Positioning of the decorative element 20 on the spring steel bracket 10 secured so that an unintentional rotation by 90 ° and subsequent removal of the decorative element 20 only possible is when the two ends with a corresponding actuating force the hoses 30 and 40 so far apart or pushed apart be that the two corresponding profiles P1 and P2 can be disengaged again.

Das erfindungsgemäße Schmuckstück wird in der Regel in Verbindung mit einem Ergänzungsteil definierter Länge eingesetzt werden, beispielsweise dem dargestellten Schlauch 50, oder einem Band oder einer Kette, das zweckmäßigerweise an den beiden Hülsen 11 und 12 befestigt wird und über einen Verschluß verfügt.The piece of jewelry according to the invention is usually connected can be used with a supplementary part of a defined length, for example the hose 50 shown, or a band or a chain, which is conveniently on the two sleeves 11 and 12th is attached and has a closure.

Das erfindungsgemäße Schmuckstück kann somit in verschiedener Größe beispielsweise Teil eines Colliers sein, bei dem aus einer Vielzahl von Dekorelementen das dem Geschmack des Benutzers am meisten entsprechende ausgewählt und eingesetzt werden kann.The piece of jewelry according to the invention can thus be of various sizes For example, be part of a necklace that consists of a large number of decorative elements that best suit the taste of the user appropriate can be selected and used.

Es ist beispielsweise auch denkbar, ein durchweg gerades Federstahlbügelelement zu verwenden, bei dem nur einseitig ein Schlauch aufgesetzt ist, ein solches Schmuckstück könnte dann Teil beispielsweise eines Anhängers sein (mit dem Dekorelement als unterem Abschluß). Beispielsweise könnte das Dekorelement 20 auch ein Zeitanzeigeelement beinhalten, wodurch eine sehr eigenwillige Uhr realisierbar wäre.For example, it is also conceivable to use a straight one Spring steel bracket element to be used, where only one side Hose is attached, such a piece of jewelry could then be part for example, a pendant (with the decorative element as the bottom Graduation). For example, the decorative element 20 could also be a Time display element included, creating a very idiosyncratic clock would be feasible.

Wird ein Ring mit den Komponenten gemäß der Erfindung realisiert, so kann ein durchgehender Schlauch verwendet werden, die Hülsen 11, 12 sind in diesem Fall entbehrlich.If a ring is realized with the components according to the invention, then a continuous hose can be used, the sleeves 11, 12 are not necessary in this case.

Als elastische federnde Halteelemente können auch Metallelemente, wie Federscheiben oder Spiralfedern alleine oder in Kombination mit einem Schlauch eingesetzt werden, wenn dies zur Definition der Haltekräfte und/oder aus Designgründen erforderlich scheint. Die Verwendung eines solchen Schmuckstückes als Teil einer Design-Konzeption ist daher sehr vielfältig.Metal elements, such as spring washers or spiral springs alone or in combination with a hose can be used if this is used to define the Holding forces and / or seems necessary for design reasons. The Use of such a piece of jewelry as part of a design concept is therefore very diverse.
