Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a piece of chain for necklaces or bracelets, in particular for necklaces or bracelets that can be customized for their user.
  • Types of necklaces and bracelets are known, which comprise a plurality of cage-shaped elements arranged one after the other, provided with tabs suitable for clipping.
  • these are positioned crosswise to each other, so that the tabs of one element to be attached to the successive one fit in the spaces present between the two tabs of said successive element.
  • the cage-shaped elements of known type are often decorated with ornamental items like pendants, rings, pearls and the like, which can be attached thereto in order to allow the user to wear a customized bracelet or necklace.
  • a first drawback lies in that according to the known art the ornamental items need to be attached to the necklace or bracelet by welding.
  • a further drawback is due to the fact that, once welded to the cage-shaped elements, pearls, charms and similar items cannot be replaced.
  • the object of the present invention is to manufacture a piece of chain for necklaces or bracelets to which ornamental items such pearls, charms and the like can be attached with no need to be welded to the piece of chain or to the finished necklace or bracelet and with no need for further polishing operations.
  • a further object of the present invention is to manufacture a piece of chain for necklaces or bracelets or a finished article to which ornamental items can be attached in less time and more easily.
  • the word "piece” shall mean both a piece, that is, a section of a chain suitable for making necklaces, bracelets or even earrings, and a finished product like a necklace, a bracelet, an earring.
  • the piece of chain carried out according to the invention can be customized according to the needs of the person who is going to wear it. Still to advantage, the piece of chain carried out according to the invention allows the ornamental items attached thereto to be comfortably replaced at any time.
  • Figure 1 shows the cage-shaped element 1 carried out according to the known art, obtained by cutting a sheet of precious metal.
  • a base 2 provided with a substantially central lightening hole 3 from which one or more tabs 4 project partially and simmetrically, said tabs having all the same dimensions and being equally spaced from each other.
  • Each tab 4 has at its end an enlarged section 5 such that its cross section is larger than that of the corresponding tab 4.
  • Each end 5 is then bent, preferably 90°, with respect to the base 2, in order to allow clipping of a successive cage-shaped element, while each tab is bent, preferably 45° or 60° always with respect to the base 2.
  • connection element 10 shown in Figure 2 is interposed between two successive cage-shaped elements.
  • connection element 10 comprises a base 11 provided with a substantially central hole 12.
  • Figure 2 also shows that a plurality of hooks 13 radially project from the base 11, said hooks having all the same dimensions and being equally spaced from each other.
  • connection element 10 differs from the cage-shaped elements 11 above all due to the size of the hooks 13 that are shorter than the tabs 4 of the cage-shaped element 1.
  • the ends of the hooks 13 do not have an enlarged section because they are not required to close like a cage, but only to close like a ring in order to hold a charm or a pendant.
  • the base 11 has an element whose diameter is slightly shorter than the corresponding diameter of the base 2 of the cage-shaped element 1, while the hole 12 and the hole 2 are substantially the same.
  • each one of the hooks 13 is then interposed between two tabs 4 of a cage-shaped element 1, in such a way as to be interposed in the space delimited by the tabs 4 and by the base 2 of the cage-shaped element 1.
  • connection element 10 between two successive cage-shaped elements takes place so that the connection elements and the cage-shaped elements are coaxial and therefore with the holes 3 and 12 respectively aligned.
  • the piece of chain 100 is particularly suited to make necklace or bracelets.
  • Each one of the hooks 13 has one end 14 that is closed like a ring to attach one or more ornamental items 15.
  • the ornamental items 15 to be attached can be pearls, charms, rings and the like.
  • the hook 13 engages with the ring of the ornamental item 15 and this remains firmly attached to the piece of chain 100 with no need for any welding.
  • the ornamental items 15 can be released from the hooks 13 using special pliers of known type and replaced with other ornamental items.
  • a ring can be replaced by a pearl and so on.
  • the piece of chain of the invention is provided with a spring 111 that passes through the holes 3 and 12, respectively, of each cage-shaped element 1 and of each connection element 10.
  • This spring 111 serves as an elastic element for the piece of chain, so that the bracelet or necklace is elastic, too.
  • Customizing the piece of chain according to the invention means avoiding further costly welding operations that extend processing times.
