Definitions

  • This invention relates to jewelry or fancy goods, particularly to the design of a piece of jewelry or bijouterie, such as a ring, brooch, bracelet, and so on, which has a detachable ornament.
  • Prior art inventions include, in particular, "A Setting for a Jewelry Stone of the Cabochon Style Workmanship," which is described in patent RU 2,202,264 , class A44C 17/02, April 20, 2003, and "A Jewelry Piece with a Replaceable Ornament,” described in patent RU 2,185,766 , class A44C 17/04, July 27, 2002.
  • the second of these inventions was chosen as the closest prior art of this invention.
  • the closest prior art invention is a ring having at least one detachable ornament fastened to the ring by a pin engaging an L-shaped slot formed in the ring.
  • the drawbacks of the closest prior art invention include low reliability of the detachable ornament fastening on the ring and inconvenience in use, because the ring is designed in such a way that the detachable ornament overhangs part of the ring and may injure the wearer's fingers.
  • the useful effect of this invention consists in improved practical properties and convenience of the detachable ornament piece, in particular, easier replacement of the ornament and more reliable fastening of the ornament to the piece.
  • the above-mentioned useful effect of this invention is achieved by the following combination of features.
  • the jewelry piece comprising at least one replaceable ornament includes a base adapted to be connected to at least one ornament.
  • the base of the piece has at least one through opening, and each ornament has a pin pivotally connected to a hinge.
  • the pin and the hinge can be inserted into the through opening in the base and the pin and/or hinge can swivel about the pin axis for the hinge to be latched to the base.
  • the detachable ornament may have several embodiments.
  • the head and pin of the ornament are rigidly coupled together, and the hinge is pivotally mounted on the pin.
  • the pin is loosely connected to the head of the ornament and swivels together with the hinge pivoted thereto relative to the fixed head.
  • the head and pin are rigidly joined together, and the hinge is pivoted to the pin to be able to swivel about the axis thereof.
  • the pin and/or hinge of each ornament can turn to an angle of 90° to allow a more reliable fastening, even though the turning angle may be different. After the ornament or a part thereof has turned, the hinge is latched to the base.
  • the hinge of the ornament has a larger width than the pin.
  • the through opening in the base has preferably a shaped configuration, and the shape of the central part of the opening conforms to the cross-sectional shape of the ornament pin, the length of the opening being equal to the width of the hinge of the ornament.
  • the through opening may have a rectangular shape as well.
  • a slot is provided in the inner wall of the base near the through opening to receive the latched hinge flush.
  • a locking projection is provided at one side of the through opening in the base to be joined to the hinge with an interference fit.
  • a locking recess is provided at one side of the through opening, and the hinge has a projection to be received in said recess.
  • a dent is provided in the inner wall of the base near the locking projection or recess to facilitate capture of the hinge.
  • the jewelry piece has at least two interchangeable ornaments.
  • the base of the jewelry piece is any of the following items: a ring, an earring, a pendant, brooch, bracelet, chain, cufflink, necktie clip, or piercing stud.
  • the base and the ornament may be designed as complementary parts of a chain or bracelet catch.
  • the chain or bracelet may consist of segments, and the base and ornament in this embodiment may be provided on the opposite ends of the segments and be designed as complementary parts of means provided to sequentially connect the segments.
  • the detachable mounting means comprises a through opening 3 (Fig. 3) formed in the ring-shaped base 1, a pin 4, and a hinge 5 of ornament 2 pivotally joined thereto (Fig. 6).
  • Through opening 3 is symmetrical relative to the axes X and Y (Fig. 4) and has a shaped configuration.
  • the central part 6 of opening 3 has a larger width than the peripheral parts and matches pin 4 of ornament 2 in shape and size, in particular, the cross-section thereof, and the peripheral parts 7 of opening 3 are narrower than the central part.
  • the total length / of opening 3 is equal to the width /' of pin 4 of the ornament (Figs. 4 and 6).
  • Hinge 5 has a larger width than the width or diameter of pin 4 in the preferred cylindrical embodiment thereof.
  • a slot 8 is provided in the inner wall of the base under opening 3 to receive an unlatched hinge 5 in the working (latched) position thereof.
  • the hinge is latched by a projection 9 formed in slot 8 at one side of through opening 3 (Fig. 3).
  • the lower part of a hinge 10 (Fig. 9) is provided with a projection 11 to be received in a locking recess (not shown) formed in slot 8, at one side of through opening 3.
  • the hinge may have any suitable shape; for example, it may be pear-shaped (Fig. 6) or rectangular (Fig. 8). It may have a curved configuration (Fig. 7) to achieve a more accurate matching with the inner configuration of the base of the piece.
  • hinges 5 and 10 are inserted into opposite openings provided in the lower end of pin 4 or in a tubular member joined pivotally or permanently to the free end of said pin.
  • the inner wall of the base has a recess 12 (Figs. 2 and 5) near the locking projection or recess and, hence, the free end of hinge 5.
  • a single jewelry piece may, its size permitting, carry several removable, interchangeable ornaments 2.
  • the design of the device is not confined to the shape or kind of jewelry piece in the form of a ring shown in the drawings. It may also be made in the form of such pieces as earrings, pendant, brooch, bracelet, chain, cufflinks, necktie clip, piercing stud, and many more.
  • the device operates as follows: To replace ornament 2 on base 1, the end of hinge 5 is pressed by a finger of the hand or any suitable means to disengage it from projection 9, whereupon ornament 2 as a whole, or pin 4 thereof with hinge 5, or hinge 5 only, is turned clockwise or counterclockwise to an angle of 90° so as to align the plane of the hinge with the plane of opening 3, and ornament 2 is removed from the opening.
  • a new ornament is inserted into the base in a reverse order, and ornament 2 is safely latched in base 1 by clicking movable hinge 5 and projection 9 with a light interference fit to make certain that the device does not open unintentionally.
  • the claimed design predominantly for a jewelry piece allows interchangeable ornaments to be fastened safely on the piece and, by virtue of this fact, prevents unintentional disengagement, and damage or loss thereof as a result, and permits a majority of existing jewelry pieces to be modified (changed) quickly and simply at a commercial manufacturing facility or at a small jeweler's shop. Besides, the range of jewelry and bijouterie pieces is expanded considerably.
