Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of goldsmithery and jewelry. In particular, it concerns a new clasp for bracelets, necklaces and the like.
  • the magnetic clasp in accordance with the present invention, comprising two elements suitable for being fixed to the two ends of an elongated flexible or articulated body that forms a bracelet, a necklace or some similar article of goldsmithery or jewelry, to provide a reversible connection between said ends along a common longitudinal axis, said elements comprising respective small magnetic coupling pads that will lock the elements to each other in a coaxial position, characterized in that the clasp comprises male and female engagement means between the elements that are so shaped to be mutually engaged in a transverse direction with respect to said longitudinal axis to prevent the disconnection of the elements along the longitudinal axis, the pads being associated with the engagement means in such a way that the magnetic attraction will counteract their transverse disengagement.
  • the clasp in accordance with the invention comprises two elements 1, 2 suitable for being fixed in any known manner to the respective ends of a body (not shown in the figures) having an elongated flexible or articulated structure, said ends having to be connected coaxially and in a reversible manner in order to form a bracelet or a necklace.
  • the two elements 1 and 2 have a tubular structure with a quadrilateral cross section and thus define respective seatings 1a, only one of which can be seen in the figures, for becoming engaged with the two ends of the elongated body.
  • One of the two elements acts as the male element of the clasp and is provided with an arm 3 that extends longitudinally, i.e. along the axis of connection of the two ends, from a face 1b at its free end.
  • Arm 3 is formed by a stem 3a and a head 3b that is enlarged in a direction perpendicular to the connection or insertion axis of the ends.
  • Transverse thickness of arm 3 is smaller than that of element 1. Thickness of element 1 is equal to the distance between two spaced, parallel faces thereof, indicated at 1c and 1d, these faces being respectively the rear face and the front face with respect to the direction of insertion. A base face 3c of arm 3 is coplanar to rear face 1c of element 1. If, as in the embodiment here illustrated, the two elements of the clasp have an arcuate shape that continues the configuration of the bracelet or the necklace, the rear face 1c is preferably the concave side, which is thus on the inside of the article when it is worn. Head 3b therefore expands in a direction at right angles to the plane of curvature. In the preferred embodiment here illustrated, head 3b has a lobe-shaped profile that is symmetrical with respect to stem 3a.
  • the other element 2 acts as the female element of the clasp and is provided with a seating 4 intended to engage with arm 3, this seating opening onto a side 2b that constitutes the free end of element 2 and a side face 2c that corresponds to side face 1c of male element 1. More precisely, seating 4 opens onto side face 2c with a shape that corresponds exactly to that of arm 3 and opens onto side 2b with a shape equal to the cross section of arm 3 at the level of stem 3a. In this way, as can be seen particular in Figures 1 and 3, seating 4 is capable of fully accommodating arm 3, which is inserted thereinto along a transverse direction at right angles to the plane of expansion of head 3a and is then pushed home until the two elements 1 and 2 are wholly coaxial.
  • the shape of head 3a, and consequently also of seating 4 may be different from the one shown in the figures, always provided that it remains capable of assuring an equivalent engagement action that will prevent the detachment of the two elements when the opening action is exerted along the axis of connection between the two ends of the elongated body.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and illustrated hereinabove, but also comprises any variation as specified in the claims attached hereto.
