Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a modular jewel comprising interchangeable elements.
  • the present invention is in the field of jewelery and jewelery, and relates in particular to modular jewelry, comprising magnetic elements.
  • Some parts of the jewelry items may be magnetized, and preferably the adjacent edges of these different parts should be magnetized in a given location, so that the jewelery items can remain in a fixed relative position.
  • a jewel is commonly an object, whose form and aesthetics are fixed. The high cost of these objects does not allow the possession of jewelry in large quantities, for the majority of users. The user does not find commonly in the trade, a jewel corresponding exactly to his desires, or according to his holding, in terms of shape, volume, materials and colors.
  • the user is attentive to security when wearing a jewel, and avoids jewels consisting of elements simply juxtaposed, not offering sufficient guarantee against the risk of damage, loss, or attempted theft.
  • the invention proposes to overcome this deficiency by offering the user a modular jewel.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a modular jewel comprising interchangeable elements comprising means of assembly reversible between them, characterized in that each element is designed capable of being used alone as a jewel in the same use as said assembled modular jewelery and that said assembly means consist of one or more permanent magnets embedded in at least a first contact zone that each element comprises, designed in a shape adapted to cooperate with at least one second contact zone of another element, to ensure their reversible assembly by magnetization through said contact zones.
  • each element comprises a first contact zone, designed to complement a second contact zone of another element, to ensure their reversible assembly by magnetization through said contact zones.
  • At least one element also comprises at least one second contact zone designed capable of cooperating with the first or the second contact zone of another element.
  • said first contact zone and second contact zone are formed on two opposite faces of said jewel element.
  • said assembly means comprise several permanent magnets having the same polarity in said first contact zone.
  • said permanent magnets are distributed according to a figure having a symmetry of revolution, on each of said first and second contact zones.
  • said first and second contact zones of the same element are substantially parallel.
  • the invention also relates to a modular jewel element having all or part of the preceding features, comprising at least one assembly means itself having at least one permanent magnet.
  • said jewel element is thus designed capable of being assembled without tools with other elements having the same assembly means, and to be dismounted without tools of such an assembly.
  • the user is free to perform to his taste the composition of the jewel, and to perform only disassembly or reassembly, without requiring special tools.
  • the jewel consists of the juxtaposition of annular elements.
  • the jewel may take the form of rings, bracelets, earrings, pendants, brooches, and the like.
  • the present invention relates to the field of jewelery.
  • the invention relates to a modular jewel 10.
  • This jewel consists of interchangeable elements 1.
  • This jewel element 1 comprises reversible assembly means 2 with other jewel elements, so as to form with them another jewel.
  • this jewel may consist of a ring, a bracelet, an earring, a necklace, a pendant, a brooch, a tie clip, a signet ring, an ear chip or the like, a badge, or any other type of usual jewel.
  • This jewel element 1 generally develops around a guiding surface, which passes close to its center of gravity, and around which the mass of the jewel element is concentrated.
  • this surface is flat or substantially flat, such as the left steering surface of a twisted ring.
  • this directional surface is generally substantially perpendicular to this bore.
  • the jewel element 1 according to the invention is also designed to be used in combination with other elements 1B, 1C, 1D, ... 1N ... having reversible assembly means 2 compatible with his own, to compose a jewel 10, as visible in the figures.
  • the reversible assembly means 2 of the jewel element 1 comprise at least one permanent magnet 8.
  • the jewel element 1 according to the invention comprises at least one ferromagnetic part, recessed or not.
  • This ferromagnetic part may in particular be constituted by said permanent magnet 8.
  • These ferromagnetic parts may be constituted by the body of the jewel element 1, or by ferromagnetic or magnetized inserts, embedded where appropriate in the body of the jewel element 1, or even invisibly embedded under the outer surface of the jewel element 1. this jewel item 1.
  • the assembly means 2 comprise in particular the cooperation of the permanent magnet 8 with a ferromagnetic antagonistic element.
  • Each jewel element 1 thus comprises a first contact zone 3.
  • This first contact zone 3 is designed to allow its cooperation with a second contact zone 4 of another element, to ensure their reversible assembly by magnetization through said contact zones.
  • the first contact zone 3 is designed to complement a second contact zone of another element, in the same way to ensure their reversible assembly by magnetization through said contact zones.
  • At least one jewel element 1 constituting the modular jewel 10 comprises a second contact zone 4 which is designed capable of cooperating with a contact zone of another jewel element 1, for example the first 3 or the second 4 contact zone of such an element.
  • a first contact zone 3 of a first jewel element 1A is thus brought into contact with a second contact zone 4 of an antagonist element 1B, which comprises a ferromagnetic antagonistic element, which is attracted by the magnetization force. of the permanent magnet 8 of the first jewel element 1A.
  • the ferromagnetic antagonistic part of the antagonist element 1B can be passive, that is to say without permanent magnetization. It may also consist of an antagonistic permanent magnet, which must then have, at the level of the second contact zone 4, a polarity opposite to that presented by said permanent magnet 8 of the first jewel element 1A at the level of the first contact zone. 3.
  • the same jewel element 1 comprises a single permanent magnet 8, in the vicinity of the opposite poles of which are respectively defined a first 3 and a second 4 contact zones.
  • the jewel element 1 has opposite faces or surfaces to one another, defining a first 3 and a second 4 contact zones.
  • a particular embodiment consists in integrating in the vicinity of each of these surfaces one or more permanent magnets 8, having the same polarity opposite the same surface; preferably, the polarity opposite the second contact zone is the opposite of that opposite the first contact zone of the same element.
  • the assembly means 2 then comprise several permanent magnets 8 having the same polarity in the first 3 contact zone.
  • the assembly means 2 consist only of magnetic elements, that is to say permanent magnets 8 or elements made of ferromagnetic material, the assembly means 2 can again, according to the configuration of the jewel, incorporate other elements, including mechanical, for example for purposes of centering or proper alignment.
  • the jewel elements are juxtaposed along substantially planar faces.
  • the safety problem to be overcome by the invention requires to obtain, during the assembly of jewelry elements 1, a modular jewel 10 maximum cohesion.
  • the jewel elements 1 according to the invention are preferably designed so that the first 3 or second 4 contact zone develop substantially parallel to the guiding surface of the jewel element 1.
  • these surfaces 3 or 4 are constituted by the outer surfaces of the jewel element 1 whose distance to the center of gravity of the latter is the lowest.
  • external surface is meant any surface other than the surface intended for wearing the jewel, the latter being constituted for example by the bore in the case of a ring, or the drilling for suspending a pendant by a chain or cord, or the like.
  • the distance between the centers of gravity of two neighboring jewel elements 1 united by their respective contact zones is the shortest possible.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to prevent any undesirable disassembly by shearing effect, for example by a tangential force of friction with a garment or limb. Indeed, to combat the resistive torque resulting from the magnetic assembly, the tangential force, that is to say, developing substantially parallel to the guiding surface of the jewel element 11, will need to be all more important than the lever arm will be weak.
  • the assembly means 2 comprise several permanent magnets 8, in the vicinity of said first contact zone 3, and having the same polarity.
  • the geometrical configuration of the jewel may be such that the areas of contact between elements have a reduced surface, and do not make it possible to accommodate the desired number of magnets 8 in combination with an inert ferromagnetic part in the vicinity of a second contact surface 4 .
  • the assembly means 2 comprise at least one permanent magnet 8, having, in the vicinity of the second contact zone 4, the opposite polarity with respect to that of said first contact surface 3, so as to increase the ability of mutual attraction of the jewel elements between them.
  • permanent magnets 8 have, in the vicinity of the first contact surface 3, the same polarity, North in the example of the figure; permanent magnets 8, which may be the same as the previous ones, or even different magnets, have the opposite polarity, South in the case of the figure, in the vicinity of the second contact surface. It is the same on the example of Figure 3.
  • these permanent magnets 8, of opposite polarity between the first 3 and the second contact surface 4 have, at least partly of them, a symmetrical geometric distribution, on said first 3 and second 4 zones of contact.
  • a distribution according to an equilateral triangle in the vicinity of a contact zone may correspond to a distribution according to a regular hexagon superimposable to the preceding triangle, in the vicinity of an antagonistic contact zone.
  • Another example may be a distribution in regular duodecagon, in correspondence with an equilateral triangle, or with a square, or with a regular hexagon, to which it is superimposable.
  • the user can thus compose his jewel 10, according to the elements it has, and functional requirements, generally threading at an orifice 7.
  • the permanent magnets 8 are distributed according to a figure having a symmetry of revolution, on each of said first 3 and second 4 contact zones.
  • the permanent magnets 8 follow one another, at the same contact zone, in an alternation of polarities.
  • the magnets are thus distributed in a step that makes it possible to dispose at will of the decorated areas, as can be seen in FIG. 1: two adjacent elements 1B and 1C, identical and bearing the same elements of ornamentation 5, 6 , compose, after juxtaposition, a decoration which is quite different from the decoration of each element taken separately.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 it is still possible to make a jewel of an entirely new type by the incorporation of a jewel element between other jewel elements of different types.
  • a jewel element In the illustrated example it is a so-called rotating ring, wherein a central ring is mounted, preferably free between two other rings constituting flanges limiting its movement.
  • This type of jewel is very appreciated, according to the usual technologies, delicate realization: either by insertion of the central ring on a first flask before imprisonment by a second flange welded to the previous, or by mounting deformation of a rolling cage for receiving the central ring.
  • Such elaborations are possible only in the factory, and do not allow any subsequent modification.
  • the other auxiliary jewel element 1C is completely free to rotate between the side jewel elements 1A and 1B.
  • the user can index this central ring 1C in position relative to at least one of these side jewel elements 1A, 1B, thanks to magnetic elements 8 that includes this central ring 1C .
  • each jewel element 1 may comprise a large variety of ornamental elements, of which only two, 5, 6 have been shown in the figures for the sake of simplification.
  • the ornamentation of the different visible surfaces of such a jewel element 1 may advantageously be different according to their position relative to the said permanent magnet or magnets 8. In particular according to their angular position relative to that of the magnets, in the case of jewelery possessing a symmetry of revolution.
  • the ornamental elements are preferably located on their edge.
  • the jewels have a decoration on a surface substantially parallel to their directing surface.
  • the combination of the decorative elements can thus make it possible to use the jewelery elements 1 according to the invention for security applications, for example by affixing on each of them a partial decorative element, for example in engraving, which is intended to to be combined with one or more other partial decorative elements on one or more other jewel elements 1, to reconstruct, in a certain angular relative position of each jewel element 1 with respect to the adjacent element, a code or a combination of access, or other secure data.
  • jewelery elements 1 in different materials (for example gold, silver, platinum) with different patterns or ornaments, and differently arranged, makes it possible to obtain a number of variants all the higher as the the number of juxtaposed elements is large, and the possibilities offered by angular repositioning are wide.
  • This angular offset is conditioned by the number of permanent magnets 8 distributed in the vicinity of each of the contact zones, in particular in the figure of revolution (here a circle, in the example of Figure 1).
  • the number of permanent magnets 8, or ferromagnetic antagonistic surfaces may be different depending on the item of jewelry considered.
  • the permanent magnets 8 used in the jewel elements 1 according to the invention can be embedded in this jewel element 1, as shown in the example of FIG. 5, or be salient, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, according to the desired aesthetic effect.
  • first 3 and second 4 contact areas are substantially parallel (even if they are left, as in the case of Figure 5), so as to allow the construction of a jewel 10 according to a diagram substantially linear.
  • the first 3 and second 4 contact zones are achievable in plane form.
  • a jewel 10 composed of elements 1 according to the invention, having the same assembly means 2, can be assembled without tools, and likewise be disassembled without tools.
  • the invention also relates to an element for modular jewel 10, having one or more of the preceding characteristics, and comprising at least one assembly means 2 itself comprising a permanent magnet 8.
