Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schmuckstück mit wenigstens einem Stein, der in dem Schmuckstück in einem Paar einander zugekehrter und zueinander parallel verlaufend vorgesehener Nuten verschleblich geführt ist, wobei der wenigstens eine Stein mit seinem Rand in die zueinander offenen Nuten, die einen dem Rand des in ihnen geführten Steines angepaßten Querschnitt besitzen, eingreift.The invention relates to a piece of jewelry with at least one stone, which is guided verschleblich in the piece of jewelry in a pair of mutually facing and mutually parallel grooves provided, said at least one stone with its edge in the mutually open grooves, one the edge of the in them Owned stone own fitted cross-section, intervenes.

Ein derartiges Schmuckstück ist aus der US-A-4, 796, 442 bekannt. Bei diesem schmuckstück sind die Nuten, in denen ein Stein gehalten ist, in einem gesonderten Teil des Schmuckstückes vorgesehen. Der die Nuten aufweisende Teil ist mit Hilfe einer ringförmigem Halterung am Schmuckstück befestigt. Die ringförmige Halterung verschließt auch den Kanal, in dem der Stein aufgenommen ist.Such a piece of jewelry is known from US-A-4, 796, 442. In this piece of jewelry, the grooves in which a stone is held, provided in a separate part of the piece of jewelry. The grooves having part is attached by means of an annular holder on the jewelry piece. The annular holder also closes the channel in which the stone is received.

Ein Ring, mit beweglichen. Kugeln, der zum zählen beim Beten des Rosenkranzes gedacht ist, ist in der US-A-6,065,971 gezeigt. Dort sind die Kugeln nicht frei beweglich, sondern nur willkürlich verschiebbar, da eine die freie Bewegung der Kugeln behindernde Feder vorgesehen ist.A ring, with movable. Spheres intended for counting rosary prayer are shown in US-A-6,065,971. There, the balls are not free to move, but only arbitrarily displaced, since a free movement of the balls obstructing spring is provided.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die beweglichkeit des zumindest eines Steines in einem Schmuskstück der eizagangs genannten Gattung, weiter zu verbessern.The invention has for its object to further improve the agility of at least one stone in a Schmuskstück the eizagangs mentioned genus.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß mit einem Schmuckstücken nach den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1.This object is achieved according to the invention with a piece of jewelry according to the features of claim 1.

Bevorzugte und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Preferred and advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Dank der erfindungsgemäßen, beweglichen Anordnung des Steines (dabei kann es sich um einen echten, einen synthetischen Stein, oder um eine Steinimitation nandeln) entsteht ein durch die Beweglichkeit des Steines völlig neuer Eindruck des Schmuckstückes, der sich je nach der Lage des Steins ändert. Dadurch, daß der wenigstens eine Stein lediglich längs seines Randes am Schmuckstück geführt ist, ist der Stein gut sichtbar und wird durch die "Technik" in seinem Gesamteindruck praktisch nicht abgedeckt.Thanks to the invention, the movable arrangement of the stone (this can be a real, a synthetic stone, or a stone imitation nandeln) is created by the mobility of the stone completely new impression of the piece of jewelry, which changes depending on the position of the stone. The fact that the at least one stone is guided only along its edge on the piece of jewelry, the stone is clearly visible and is by the "technique" in its overall impression practically not covered.

Die Nuten, in welchen der Stein geführt ist, haben eine der Steinform angepaßte rechteckförmige Querschnittsform.The grooves in which the stone is guided, have a shape adapted to the shape of a rectangular rectangular cross-sectional shape.

In das Schmuckstück sind angesetzte Führungeschienen mit Nuten vorgeschen.In the piece of jewelry attached guide rails are pre-grooved.

Die Nuten sind an beiden Enden geschlossen, um ein Herausfallen des Steines zu verhindern.The grooves are closed at both ends to prevent the stone from falling out.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachstehenden Beschreibung eines schematisch gezeigten Ausführungsbeispieles für ein Führungsschienenpaar.Further details and features of the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment schematically shown for a pair of guide rails.

Es zeigt:

Fig. 1
im Schnitt ein Führungsschienenpaar mit zwischen, diesen angaordneten Stein ;
Fig. 2
eine Draufsicht auf ein Führungsschienenpaar mit Stein: und
Fig. 3
in Schrägansnicht ein Führungsschienenpaar (teilweise).
It shows:
Fig. 1
on average, a pair of guide rails with, between these angaordneten stone;
Fig. 2
a plan view of a pair of guide rails with stone: and
Fig. 3
in Schrägansnicht a pair of guide rails (partially).

Ein Führungschienenpaar besteht aus zwei Führungsschienen 1, die parallel zueinander in einem nicht näher gezeigten Schmuckstück, beispielsweise einem Ring, Anhänger, Armreifen, od.dgl. angeordnet sind. Die Querschnittsform der Führungsschienen 1 ist rechteckig, wie dies in den Zeichnungen gezeigt ist.A pair of guide rails consists of two guide rails 1, which are parallel to each other in a piece of jewelry not shown in detail, such as a ring, pendant, bangles, or the like. are arranged. The cross-sectional shape of the guide rails 1 is rectangular, as shown in the drawings.

Die Führungeschienen 1 können auch integrierende Bestandteile des Schmuckstückes sein, d.h., daß das Schmuckgtück selbst bzw. Teils desselben die Funktion der in den Fig. 1 bis 3 gezeigten Führungsschienen 1 übernehmen.The guide rails 1 can also be integral parts of the piece of jewelry, that is to say that the piece of jewelry itself or part thereof assumes the function of the guide rails 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.

Die in Fig. 1 bis 3 gezeigten Führungsschienen 1 sind in ein Schmuckstück angesetzt wobei auch die Möglichkeit besteht, die Führungsschienen 1 aus einem farblich zu dem Werkstoff des Schmuckstückes kontrastierendem Werkstoff (EdelMetall) zu fertigen.The shown in Fig. 1 to 3 Guide rails 1 are placed in a piece of jewelry and it is also possible to manufacture the guide rails 1 from a color contrasting the material of the piece of jewelry (precious metal).

Ein Stein, 2 im Vorliegenden ein Stein mit Brillantschliff ist mit seinem Rand 3 in Nuten 4 in den Führungsschienen 1 aufgenommen. Dabei ist der Abstand der Führungsschienen 1 und die Größe der Führungsnuten 4 so bemessen, daß der Stein 2 mit geringem Spiel in den Nuten 4 aufgenommen ist, damit er in den Nuten 4 leicht hin- und hergleiten kann, wie dies in Fig. 2 durch die Pfeile angedeutet ist.A stone, 2 in the present a stone with brilliant cut is added with its edge 3 in grooves 4 in the guide rails 1. The distance between the guide rails 1 and the size of the guide grooves 4 is dimensioned so that the stone 2 is received with a small clearance in the grooves 4, so that it can easily slide back and forth in the grooves 4, as in Fig. 2 by the arrows are indicated.

Es versteht sich, daß zwischen den Führungsschienen 1, in den in diesen vorgesehenen Nuten 4'geführt, auch mehr als ein Stein 2, z.B. zwei oder mehr Steine 2, die auch unterschiedliche Steine 2 sein können, aufgenommen sein können.It will be understood that between the guide rails 1, in the grooves 4 'provided therein, more than one stone 2, e.g. two or more stones 2, which may also be different stones 2, may be included.

Insbesondere die Fig. 3 zeigt, daß die Querschnittsform der Nuten 4 an die Form des Randes 3 des Steines 2, mit dem er in die Nuten 4 eingreift, angepaßt ist. So ist hier eine im Grundquerschnitt rechteckige Form der Nuten 4 durch an der unteren Nutwand vorgesehene Schrägflächen 5 (Fasen) an die Form des Randes 3 des Steines 2 angepaßt.In particular, Fig. 3 shows that the cross-sectional shape of the grooves 4 is adapted to the shape of the edge 3 of the stone 2, with which it engages in the grooves 4. Thus, here in the basic cross-section rectangular shape of the grooves 4 is adapted by provided on the lower groove wall inclined surfaces 5 (chamfers) to the shape of the edge 3 of the stone 2.

Es versteht sich, daß andere Quersehnittsformen, wie trapezförmig, V-förmig, oder gerundet, möglich sind, erfindungsgemäß wird jedoch eine rechteckge Form beansprucht.It is understood that other Quersehnittsformen, such as trapezoidal, V-shaped, or rounded, are possible, according to the invention, however, a rectangular shape claimed.

Es ist auch nicht erforderlich, daß die Nuten 4, so wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt, gerade sind. Die Nuten 4 können in den Führungsschienen 1, bzw. in dem Schmuckstück auch anders als geradlinig, nämlich gebogen verlaufen. Dabei besteht die Möglichkeit, durch unterschiedliche Krümmungen, oder einem unterschiedlichen Verlauf der Nuten 4, besondere Effekte zu erzielen, da der Stein 2 dann in dem Schmuckstück nicht nur hin- und hergleitet, sondern auch seine Lage ändert (kippt), so daß besondere Reflexeffekte erzielt werden können.It is also not necessary that the grooves 4, as shown in Fig. 3, are straight. The grooves 4 may be different in the guide rails 1, or in the piece of jewelry differently than straight, namely bent. It is possible to achieve different effects by different curvatures, or a different course of the grooves 4, since the stone 2 then in the piece of jewelry not only back and forth, but also changes its position (tilts), so that special reflex effects can be achieved.

Wenn wenigstens ein Stein 2 immittelbar im Schmuckstück beweglich gelagert sein soll, genügt es, wenn in dem Schmuckstück zwei einander zugekehrte Nuten 4 für die Aufnahme des Steines 2 vorgesehen sind.If at least one stone 2 is to be mounted movably in the piece of jewelery, it is sufficient if two mutually facing grooves 4 for receiving the stone 2 are provided in the piece of jewelery.

Die Enden der Nuten 4 sind geschlossen, wie dies beispielsweise in Figr. 2 angedeutet ist, so daß ein in den Nuten 4 beweglich aufgenommener Stein 2 oder in den Nuten 4 verschiebbar geführte Steine 2 nicht aus den Nuten 4 herausgleiten kann.The ends of the grooves 4 are closed, as shown for example in FIG. 2 is indicated, so that a movably received in the grooves 4 stone 2 or in the grooves 4 slidably guided stones 2 can not slide out of the grooves 4.

In bestimmten Anwendungsfällen kann es vorteilhaft sein, an wenigstens einem Ende jeder Nut 4 einen beweglichen, oder abnehmbaren verschlußteil vorzusehen, damit der Stein ausgetauscht werden kann. Wenn solche z.B. in ihre Schließstellung federbelastete Verschlußmittel vorgesehen sind, kann die Anzahl und/oder Art der Steine, die in den Nuten 4 des Schmuckstückes oder der Führungsschienen 1 geführt sind, leicht geändert werden. Solche Verschlußmittel 5 sind in Fig. 2 angedeutet.In certain applications, it may be advantageous to provide at least one end of each groove 4 a movable or removable closure member so that the stone can be replaced. If such e.g. are provided in their closed position spring-loaded closure means, the number and / or type of stones, which are guided in the grooves 4 of the piece of jewelry or the guide rails 1, can be easily changed. Such closure means 5 are indicated in Fig. 2.

Zusammenfassend kann ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wie folgt dargestellt werden:In summary, an embodiment of the invention can be represented as follows:

An einem Schmuckstück ist wenigstens ein Zierteil, der ein Stein sein kann, dadurch beweglich gehaltert, daß das Zierteil in dem Schmuckstück in einem Paar einander zugekehrter Nuten, deren Querschnittsform der Form des Zierteils angepaßt ist und die gegebenenfalls in Führungsschienen angeordnet sind, geführt ist.At a piece of jewelry at least one trim part, which may be a stone, movably supported by the fact that the trim part in the piece of jewelry in a pair of mutually facing grooves whose cross-sectional shape is adapted to the shape of the trim part and which are optionally arranged in guide rails, is guided.
