Description

Elément de chaîne ornementale. La présente invention concerne un élément de chaîne ornementale composée d'éléments successifs ayant une forme générale par exemple sphérique de mêmes dimensions ou de dimensions différentes et réalisés en métal, de préférence précieux, par exemple en or. Element of ornamental chain. The present invention relates to an ornamental chain element composed of successive elements having a general shape, for example spherical of the same dimensions or of different dimensions and made of metal, preferably precious, for example gold.
Il est connu de réaliser une chaîne dite à boules au moyen d'un procédé consistant à repousser à intervalles réguliers la matière d'un fil métallique pour former des zones élargies présentant un rétrécissement de section à mi-longueur, et les envelopper chacune par une feuille de métal conformée en boule puis de casser ensuite le fil au niveau du rétrécissement de chaque zone élargie à l'intérieur des boules.It is known to produce a so-called ball chain by means of a process consisting in pushing the material of a metal wire at regular intervals to form enlarged zones having a narrowing of the section at mid-length, and wrapping them each with a sheet of metal shaped into a ball then break the wire at the level of the narrowing of each enlarged area inside the balls.
Ce procédé n'est pas particulièrement bien adapté à la réalisation d'une chaîne ornementale notamment du fait que les boules ainsi réalisées ne se prêtent pas aisément au sertissage de pierres précieuses.This process is not particularly well suited to the production of an ornamental chain, in particular because the balls thus produced do not readily lend themselves to the setting of precious stones.
La société déposante a décrit dans FR-A-2 779 921 une chaîne ornementale composée d'éléments successifs se caractérisant par le fait que l'un au moins des éléments de la chaîne comporte un corps creux à l'intérieur duquel est fixé un insert conformé pour retenir un organe de liaison relié à un élément adjacent de la chaîne, l'insert étant constitué par au moins un manchon fendu, la forme de ce manchon étant suffisamment large pour permettre le passage du corps de l'organe de liaison. La présente invention se propose de réaliser un élément de chaîne ornementale permettant un processus d'assemblage encore plus rapide que pour les éléments de la chaîne du document antérieur et une meilleure résistance des éléments assemblés notamment lors d'une tentative d'arrachement.The applicant company described in FR-A-2 779 921 an ornamental chain composed of successive elements, characterized in that at least one of the elements of the chain comprises a hollow body inside which an insert is fixed. shaped to retain a connecting member connected to an adjacent element of the chain, the insert being constituted by at least one split sleeve, the shape of this sleeve being wide enough to allow passage of the body of the connecting member. The present invention proposes to produce an ornamental chain element allowing an assembly process even faster than for the elements of the chain of the previous document and better resistance of the assembled elements in particular during an attempt to tear off.
L'élément de chaîne selon l'invention se caractérise essentiellement par le fait qu'il comporte un corps creux constitué de deux parties complémentaires munies de moyens d'encliquetage intérieurs coopérants, le corps creux étant conformé pour retenir au moins un organe de liaison à un élément adjacent de la chaîne et comportant intérieurement un organe de blocage des moyens d'encliquetage dans leur position assemblée. Les moyens d'encliquetage des deux parties du corps creux comportent avantageusement des languettes en saillie d'une des parties du corps creux, munies chacune d'une extrémité en forme de bec apte à s'engager sur une portée d'accrochage réalisée dans l'autre partie du corps creux. Cette autre partie peut avantageusement comporter un évidement dans lequel est logé un organe de blocage tubulaire disposé et conformé pour presser vers l'extérieur les extrémités desdites languettes et ainsi les bloquer en position assemblée. L'organe de blocage peut être réalisé dans le même matériau que le corps creux et provoque lors de l'assemblage une déformation de l'extrémité des languettes et en quelque sorte un rivetage des languettes sur leur portée d'appui.The chain element according to the invention is essentially characterized by the fact that it comprises a hollow body consisting of two complementary parts provided with cooperating internal snap-fastening means, the hollow body being shaped to retain at least one connecting member to an adjacent element of the chain and internally comprising a member for locking the latching means in their assembled position. The latching means of the two parts of the hollow body advantageously comprise tabs projecting from one of the parts of the hollow body, each provided with a beak-shaped end capable of engaging on a coupling surface performed in the other part of the hollow body. This other part may advantageously include a recess in which is housed a tubular blocking member arranged and shaped to press outward the ends of said tabs and thus block them in the assembled position. The blocking member can be made of the same material as the hollow body and causes during assembly a deformation of the end of the tongues and in a way a riveting of the tongues on their bearing surface.
Les deux parties du corps creux selon l'invention comportent dans leur paroi extérieure des découpes pour la mise en place des organes de liaison et leur retenue dans le corps creux après assemblage des deux parties constitutives de celui-ci.The two parts of the hollow body according to the invention have in their outer wall cutouts for the establishment of the connecting members and their retention in the hollow body after assembly of the two constituent parts thereof.
L'invention autorise une grande diversité de formes de réalisation de corps creux, celui-ci pouvant être avantageusement sphérique, réalisé par décolletage et apte à recevoir une pierre précieuse sertie dans un perçage borgne réalisé dans l'une des parties du corps creux. L'organe de liaison peut, comme dans le document antérieur de la société déposante mentionné ci-dessus, être constitué par un pion à deux têtes.The invention allows a wide variety of embodiments of hollow bodies, which can advantageously be spherical, made by bar turning and capable of receiving a precious stone set in a blind bore made in one of the parts of the hollow body. The link member can, as in the previous document of the applicant company mentioned above, be constituted by a two-headed pin.
D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront à la lecture de la description qui va suivre dans l'exemple de réalisation non limitatif en référant au dessin annexé dans lequel : - la figure 1 est une vue de dessus d'un élément de chaîne ornementale selon l'invention, pourvu de trois organes de liaison à des éléments adjacents, la figure 2 est une vue en coupe selon II-II de la figure 1 , la figure 3 est une vue en coupe selon III-III de la figure 1 , - la figure 4 est une vue agrandie du détail A de la figure 2, et la figure 5 est une vue éclatée correspondant à la figure 2, montrant les composants de l'élément selon l'invention avant leur assemblage. On a illustré sur le dessin un exemple de réalisation d'élément selon l'invention, de forme sphérique, désigné globalement par 1 et dans lequel est sertie une pierre précieuse 2, l'élément pouvant être réalisé en or ou autre métal précieux.Other advantages and characteristics of the present invention will emerge on reading the description which will follow in the nonlimiting exemplary embodiment with reference to the appended drawing in which: - Figure 1 is a top view of an element of ornamental chain according to the invention, provided with three connecting members to adjacent elements, Figure 2 is a sectional view along II-II of Figure 1, Figure 3 is a sectional view along III-III of Figure 1, - Figure 4 is an enlarged view of detail A of Figure 2, and Figure 5 is an exploded view corresponding to Figure 2, showing the components of the element according to the invention before their assembly. Illustrated in the drawing is an exemplary embodiment of an element according to the invention, of spherical shape, generally designated by 1 and in which a precious stone 2 is set, the element being able to be made of gold or other precious metal.
L'élément selon l'invention est un corps creux réalisé par assemblage de deux parties 3 et 4 présentant chacune un profil extérieur sphérique, les deux parties 3 et 4 une fois assemblées réalisant l'élément 1 de forme générale sphérique.The element according to the invention is a hollow body produced by assembling two parts 3 and 4 each having a spherical external profile, the two parts 3 and 4 a once assembled making element 1 of generally spherical shape.
Pour leur solidarisation mutuelle, les éléments 3 et 4 comportent des moyens de verrouillage par encliquetage coopérants.For their mutual joining, the elements 3 and 4 include cooperating snap-lock means.
Ces moyens comprennent des languettes 5, au nombre de trois dans l'exemple illustré, en saillie de la partie 3, équiangulairement réparties, ces languettes 5 étant munies chacune d'une extrémité en forme de bec 6.These means comprise tongues 5, three in number in the example illustrated, projecting from part 3, equiangularly distributed, these tongues 5 being each provided with a beak-shaped end 6.
Comme on le voit le mieux sur la figure 5, la partie 4 de l'élément 1, complémentaire de la partie 3 de celui-ci, comporte une succession de cavités cylindriques de diamètres différents 7, 8, 9 et un perçage borgne 10 de forme partiellement tronconique pour la réception par sertissage de la pierre précieuse 2.As best seen in Figure 5, part 4 of element 1, complementary to part 3 thereof, comprises a succession of cylindrical cavities of different diameters 7, 8, 9 and a blind bore 10 of partially frustoconical shape for reception by setting the precious stone 2.
La cavité 7 est dimensionnée pour permettre le guidage et la réception des languettes 5 de l'élément 3, la portée en décrochement 1 1 entre les cavités 7 et 8 constituant la portée au-delà de laquelle, comme on le voit le mieux sur la figure 4, l'extrémité en forme de bec 6 de chaque languette 5 vient s'encliqueter lorsque cette extrémité est reçue dans la cavité 8.The cavity 7 is dimensioned to allow the guiding and the reception of the tongues 5 of the element 3, the recessed bearing surface 11 between the cavities 7 and 8 constituting the bearing beyond which, as best seen on the FIG. 4, the beak-shaped end 6 of each tongue 5 snaps in when this end is received in the cavity 8.
Comme on le voit sur la figure 5, la cavité 8 se prolonge par une cavité 9 de diamètre plus faible dans laquelle peut être logée, à ajustement serré, une bague 12 munie d'une extrémité chanfreinée 13.As can be seen in FIG. 5, the cavity 8 is extended by a cavity 9 of smaller diameter in which can be accommodated, with a tight fit, a ring 12 provided with a chamfered end 13.
Comme on le voit notamment sur les figures 2 à 4, la bague 12 est logée dans la cavité 9 en faisant saillie par son extrémité chanfreinée 13 dans la cavité 8 dans laquelle doit se loger l'extrémité en forme de bec 6 de chacune des languettes 5.As can be seen in particular in FIGS. 2 to 4, the ring 12 is housed in the cavity 9 by projecting through its chamfered end 13 in the cavity 8 in which the beak-shaped end 6 of each of the tongues is to be housed 5.
Comme on le voit sur la figure 4, lors de l'assemblage des parties 3 et 4 et leur verrouillage mutuel par encliquetage, la face intérieure des languettes 5 glisse sur la partie chanfreinée 13 et est repoussée vers l'extérieur en se déformant réalisant une déformation vers l'extérieur de l'extrémité en forme de bec 6 des languettes et l'immobilisation des moyens d'encliquetage par l'organe de blocage annulaire que constitue la bague 12.As can be seen in FIG. 4, during the assembly of the parts 3 and 4 and their mutual locking by snap-fastening, the internal face of the tongues 5 slides on the chamfered part 13 and is pushed back towards the outside by deforming producing a outward deformation of the beak-shaped end 6 of the tongues and immobilization of the latching means by the annular locking member that constitutes the ring 12.
Cet effet de rivetage à des extrémités des languettes assure une solidité mécanique des deux parties constitutives de l'élément de chaîne selon l'invention, offrant une excellente résistance à une tentative d'arrachement.This riveting effect at the ends of the tongues ensures mechanical strength of the two constituent parts of the chain element according to the invention, offering excellent resistance to an attempt to tear off.
Pour sa liaison avec des éléments adjacents de la chaîne ornementale, l'élément selon l'invention est apte à recevoir des pions cylindriques 14 munis chacun de deux têtes biconiques 15.For its connection with adjacent elements of the ornamental chain, the element according to the invention is capable of receiving cylindrical pins 14 each provided with two biconical heads 15.
Pour la réception des pions 14, les parties 3 et 4 de l'élément de chaîne selon l'invention comportent des évidements 16, et respectivement 17, alignés en position d'assemblage, et dans lesquels sont engagés les pions 14 qui sont retenus dans la cavité intérieure de l'élément avec de nombreuses possibilités de mouvement tout en étant empêchées de sortir de la cavité.For the reception of the pins 14, the parts 3 and 4 of the chain element according to the invention have recesses 16, and respectively 17, aligned in the assembly position, and in which the pins 14 are engaged which are retained in the internal cavity of the element with numerous possibilities of movement while being prevented from leaving the cavity.
Bien que l'invention ait été décrite en liaison avec un mode de réalisation particulier, il est bien évident qu'elle n'y est nullement limitée et qu'on peut lui apporter différentes variantes et modifications sans pour autant sortir ni de son cadre, ni de son esprit.Although the invention has been described in connection with a particular embodiment, it is quite obvious that it is in no way limited thereto and that it can be made different variants and modifications without departing from its scope, nor of his mind.
Ainsi, bien que l'on ait prévu, dans l'exemple illustré, trois organes de liaison équiangulairement répartis, un nombre quelconque de tels organes répartis régulièrement ou non peut être envisagé. Thus, although provision has been made in the illustrated example for three connecting members equiangularly distributed, any number of such members distributed regularly or not may be envisaged.
