Description

La présente invention concerne un élément de chaíne 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.The present invention relates to an ornamental chain element composed successive elements having a general shape, for example spherical of the same dimensions or different dimensions and made of metal, preferably precious, by example in gold.

Il est connu de réaliser une chaíne 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 make a so-called ball chain by means of a process consisting of repelling the material of a metal wire at regular intervals to form enlarged areas with mid-length section narrowing, and wrap each with a sheet of metal shaped into a ball and then break the wire at the level of the narrowing of each enlarged zone inside the balls.

Ce procédé n'est pas particulièrement bien adapté à la réalisation d'une chaíne 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 a chain ornamental, in particular because the balls thus produced do not lend themselves easily by setting precious stones.

La société déposante a décrit dans FR-A-2 779 921 une chaíne ornementale composée d'éléments successifs se caractérisant par le fait que l'un au moins des éléments de la chaíne 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 chaíne, 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.The depositing company described in FR-A-2 779 921 an ornamental chain composed of successive elements characterized by the fact that at least one of the elements of the chain has a hollow body inside which is fixed a shaped insert for retain a connecting member connected to an adjacent element of the chain, the insert being consisting of at least one split sleeve, the shape of this sleeve being sufficiently wide to allow the passage of the body of the connecting member.

Un élément de chaíne selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est décrit dans FR-A-1 128 579 .A chain element according to the preamble of claim 1 is described in FR-A-1 128 579.

La présente invention se propose de réaliser un élément de chaíne ornementale permettant un processus d'assemblage encore plus rapide que pour les éléments de la chaíne du document antérieur et une meilleure résistance des éléments assemblés notamment lors d'une tentative d'arrachement.The present invention proposes to produce a chain element ornamental allowing an assembly process even faster than for elements of the chain of the previous document and better resistance of the elements assembled in particular during an attempt to tear off.

L'élément de chaíne selon l'invention se caractérise essentiellement par le fait qu'il comporte intérieurement un organe de blocage des moyens d'encliquetage dans leur position assemblée.The chain element according to the invention is essentially characterized by the fact that it includes internally a member for locking the latching means in their position Assembly.

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.The latching means of the two parts of the hollow body comprise advantageously tabs projecting from one of the parts of the hollow body, provided each of a beak-shaped end capable of engaging on a coupling surface performed in the other part of the hollow body. This other part can advantageously have a recess in which is housed a tubular blocking member arranged and shaped to press outward the ends of said tabs and thus lock in assembled position.

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 blocking member can be made of the same material as the body hollow 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 wall outer 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.The invention allows a wide variety of embodiments of bodies hollow, which may advantageously be spherical, produced by bar turning and capable of receive a precious stone set in a blind hole made in one of the parts of the hollow body.

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 liaison body can, as in the previous document of the company Applicant mentioned above, consisting of a two-headed pawn.

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 chaíne 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.
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:
  • FIG. 1 is a top view of an ornamental chain element according to the invention, provided with three connecting members to adjacent elements,
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view along II-II of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view along III-III of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of detail A of FIG. 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.

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.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 is crimped a precious stone 2, the element being able to be produced in 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, elements 3 and 4 include means cooperating snap lock.

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 include tabs 5, three in number in the example illustrated, projecting from part 3, equiangularly distributed, these tabs 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 cavities cylindrical with different diameters 7, 8, 9 and a blind hole 10 in shape partially frustoconical 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 11 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 guidance and reception of the tabs 5 of the element 3, the recessed bearing 11 between the cavities 7 and 8 constituting the range beyond which, as best seen in Figure 4, the beak-shaped end 6 of each tongue 5 clicks into place when this end is received in 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 seen in Figure 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 of 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 seen in particular in Figures 2 to 4, the ring 12 is housed in the cavity 9 projecting from its chamfered end 13 into the cavity 8 in which must accommodate the beak-shaped end 6 of each of the tongues 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 seen in Figure 4, during the assembly of parts 3 and 4 and their mutual locking by snap-fastening, the internal face of the tabs 5 slides on the chamfered part 13 and is pushed outwards by deforming, achieving a outward deformation of the beak-shaped end 6 of the tongues and immobilization of the latching means by the annular blocking 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 chaíne selon l'invention, offrant une excellente résistance à une tentative d'arrachement.This riveting effect at the ends of the tabs ensures solidity mechanics 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 chaíne 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 chaíne 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 include recesses 16, and respectively 17, aligned in position assembly, and in which are engaged the pins 14 which are retained in the cavity interior of the element with many 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 de son cadre défini par les revendications.Although the invention has been described in connection with an embodiment particular, it is obvious that it is in no way limited to it and that we can bring it different variants and modifications without departing from its scope defined by the claims.

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 organs distributed regularly or not can be considered.
