Description

La présente invention concerne un bijou muni d'au moins un segment annulaire et d'au moins un élément décoratif amovible présentant une partie creuse configurée pour épouser une partie du segment annulaire présentant des moyens conçus pour assurer en collaboration avec des moyens complémentaires de ladite partie creuse de l'élément décoratif un assemblage à verrouillage réversible. Un tel bijou est connu du document DE-U-25 9 09 198.The present invention relates to a jewel provided with at least an annular segment and at least one decorative element removable having a hollow part configured for marry part of the annular segment with means designed to ensure in collaboration with complementary means of said hollow part of the decorative element a locking assembly reversible. Such a jewel is known from document DE-U-25 9 09 198.

Depuis plusieurs années, il existe une tendance de vouloir donner la possibilité à l'utilisateur d'un bijou de personnaliser ses bijoux ou de les assortir à son habillement ou encore faire varier leur aspect au lieu de changer de bijou.For several years, there has been a trend of want to give the user the possibility of a jewel to personalize its jewelry or to match it with dress or vary their appearance place to change jewelry.

L'inventeur a proposé dans le brevet FR-B-2 708 180 un moyen pour pouvoir fixer de manière amovible une boule dans un anneau.The inventor proposed in patent FR-B-2 708 180 a means for removably securing a ball in a ring.

Maintenant, l'inventeur se propose de ne pas se limiter à la fixation d'une boule qui peut être une pierre précieuse ou tout autre élément ayant une forme approximativement sphérique qui doit être fixé dans un logement adéquat, mais pouvoir changer d'autres éléments sur un bijou présentant au moins un segment annulaire.Now, the inventor proposes not to limit himself to the fixing of a ball which can be a stone precious or any other element having a form approximately spherical which must be fixed in a adequate accommodation, but the ability to change others elements on a piece of jewelry with at least one segment annular.

Le bijou selon l'invention est caractérisé par le fait que les moyens complémentaires de ladite partie creuse est une tige fixée par ses extrémités sur deux parois opposées de la partie creuse, que ladite partie du segment annulaire présente dans son épaisseur dans le sens radial une entaille radiale suivie d'une entaille périphérique formant ainsi approximativement un L, qu'un élément déformable élastiquement est logé sur la face intérieure de l'anneau permettant de verrouiller l'élément décoratif en position sur le segment annulaire après introduction de la tige jusqu'au fond de l'entaille en L.The jewel according to the invention is characterized by the fact that the complementary means of said hollow part is a rod fixed by its ends on two opposite walls of the part hollow, that said part of the annular segment has in its thickness in the radial direction a notch radial followed by a peripheral cut forming thus approximately an L, that a deformable element elastically is housed on the inside of the ring for locking the decorative element in position on the annular segment after introduction from the stem to the bottom of the L-shaped notch

L'avantage du bijou selon l'invention est le fait qu'en utilisant des moyens simples, on peut changer facilement un élément décoratif par un autre sur un bijou présentant un segment annulaire, la condition étant que cet élément décoratif comprend une partie creuse destinée à épouser la partie du segment annulaire sur laquelle elle est destinée à être fixée. Ainsi, l'utilisateur peut acheter son bijou avec un élément ou plusieurs éléments décoratifs qu'il peut échanger facilement et à volonté. Ce bijou est simple à fabriquer et très facile à utiliser, puisqu'il suffit d'introduire la tige de la partie creuse de l'élément décoratif dans l'entaille en forme de L et pousser en appliquant un effort dans le sens périphérique sur l'objet décoratif pour obtenir le verrouillage de la tige par l'élément élastique.The advantage of the jewel according to the invention is the fact that using simple means, we can change easily one decorative element by another on a jewel with an annular segment, the condition being that this decorative element includes a part hollow intended to marry the part of the segment annular on which it is intended to be fixed. Thus, the user can buy his jewelry with a element or more decorative elements it can exchange easily and at will. This piece of jewelry is simple to easy to use, since it is enough to introduce the rod of the hollow part of the element decorative in the L-shaped notch and push in applying a force in the peripheral direction on the decorative object to get the lock of the rod by the elastic element.

Selon une variante d'exécution préférée, l'élément élastique est une lame-ressort dont l'extrémité présente une nervure assurant le verrouillage de l'élément décoratif.According to a preferred embodiment, the element elastic is a leaf spring whose end has a rib ensuring the locking of the decorative element.

Le bijou selon une exécution préférée est une bague. The jewel according to a preferred execution is a ring.

Une autre exécution préférée est un braceletAnother favorite execution is a bracelet

Le bijou selon une autre exécution préférée est une boucle d'oreilles.The jewel according to another preferred execution is a earring.

Enfin, selon une autre exécution préférée, le bijou, notamment s'il s'agit d'un bracelet ou d'un anneau relativement grand, peut être muni de plusieurs objets décoratifs, ce qui donne de grandes possibilités de combinaisons.Finally, according to another preferred embodiment, the jewel, especially if it is a bracelet or a ring relatively large, can be equipped with several objects decorative, which gives great possibilities for combinations.

L'invention sera décrite plus en détail en se référant au dessin annexé illustrant une bague munie d'un élément décoratif selon l'invention.The invention will be described in more detail with reference in the accompanying drawing illustrating a ring provided with a decorative element according to the invention.

La figure 1 est une vue de côté avec l'élément décoratif mis en place.Figure 1 is a side view with the element decorative set up.

La figure 2 est une vue éclatée similaire à la précédente.Figure 2 is an exploded view similar to the previous.

La figure 3 est une vue de dessous de l'élément décoratif.Figure 3 is a bottom view of the element decorative.

La figure 4 est une coupe selon la ligne IV-IV de la figure 2.Figure 4 is a section along line IV-IV of the figure 2.

Le bijou selon l'invention comprend un anneau 1 et un élément décoratif 2. L'anneau 1 comprend une entaille 3 présentant une partie 3a dirigée radialement suivie d'une partie 3b dirigée dans le sens périphérique de l'anneau 1.The jewel according to the invention comprises a ring 1 and a decorative element 2. Ring 1 includes a notch 3 having a radially followed part 3a directed a part 3b directed in the peripheral direction of ring 1.

Dans la partie intérieure de l'anneau 1 et à l'endroit 1b de l'entaille 3b, un ressort en forme de lame 4 est fixé au moyen d'une vis 5 ou tout autre moyen, de sorte que son extrémité libre munie d'une nervure 4a se trouve à l'extrémité 1b de la face supérieure de l'entaille 3b. L'élément décoratif 2 présente une partie creuse 2a dont les dimensions et forme permettent d'épouser l'anneau lorsque l'élément décoratif 2 est disposé sur l'anneau, comme représenté à la figure 1. L'élément décoratif 2 présente une tige 2b dont les extrémités sont fixées sur deux parois opposées de l'élément décoratif 2. Lorsqu'on coiffe l'anneau avec l'élément 2 en disposant la tige 2b dans l'entaille 3 et en poussant d'abord radialement l'élément et ensuite en dans le sens périphérique dans l'entaille 3, la tige 2b vient pousser la nervure 4a du ressort 4, et ce qui permet de verrouiller l'élément 2 sur l'anneau 1.In the inner part of the ring 1 and at the place 1b of the notch 3b, a leaf-shaped spring 4 is fixed by means of a screw 5 or any other means, so that its free end provided with a rib 4a is found at the end 1b of the upper face of notch 3b. The decorative element 2 has a hollow part 2a whose dimensions and shape allow to marry the ring when the element decorative 2 is arranged on the ring, as shown in Figure 1. The decorative element 2 has a rod 2b, the ends of which are fixed on two walls of decorative element 2. When styling the ring with element 2 by placing the rod 2b in notch 3 and first pushing radially the element and then in in the peripheral direction in the notch 3, the rod 2b pushes the rib 4a of the spring 4, and which allows element 2 to be locked on ring 1.

Lorsqu'on désire retirer l'élément décoratif 2 pour le remplacer par un autre, il suffit de le pousser dans le sens contraire d'abord dans le sens périphérique pour déverrouiller la tige en la faisant passer au-delà de la nervure 4a du ressort 4 et ensuite la retirer dans le sens radial.When you want to remove the decorative element 2 for the replace with another, just push it into the opposite direction first in the peripheral direction for unlock the rod by passing it beyond the rib 4a of the spring 4 and then remove it in the radial direction.

Ce dispositif permet très facilement de changer l'élément décoratif 2 sans devoir fournir un effort particulier tout en assurant un excellent verrouillage entre les deux pièces.This device makes it very easy to change decorative element 2 without having to make an effort particular while ensuring excellent locking between the two rooms.

Il est évident qu'un tel dispositif peut également être utilisé sur un bracelet ou sur des boucles d'oreilles annulaires, ainsi que d'autres bijoux munis de segments annulaires.It is obvious that such a device can also be used on a bracelet or on earrings rings, as well as other jewelry with segments annulars.

Dans des pièces relativement grandes, telles qu'un bracelet, il est évident qu'on pourrait monter plus d'un élément décoratif en utilisant chaque fois les mêmes moyens.In relatively large rooms, such as a bracelet, obviously we could climb more of a decorative element each time using the same means.
