The piece of jewellery of the invention is modular from an aesthetical point of view and from a functional point of view. It is also very comfortable due to the distribution of forces and friction along the entire circumference of the piece of jewellery. The present invention can be used in the field of jewellery, in particular for rings.

Description

La présente invention concerne un bijou destiné à être porté au doigt qui soit modulable et confortable.The present invention relates to a jewelry intended to be worn on the finger that is flexible and comfortable.

L'invention trouvera son application dans le domaine de la bijouterie, notamment pour des bagues.The invention will find application in the field of jewelery, especially for rings.

On connaît classiquement des bagues formées d'un seul anneau présentant ou non des sertissages ou autres décorations. Ce type de bague peut être rapidement démodé et ne sera plus porté.Conventionally known rings formed of a single ring with or without crimps or other decorations. This type of ring can be quickly outdated and will no longer be worn.

De plus, la circonférence des doigts peut varier pour une même personne au cours du temps et l'anneau devient soit trop serré et donc inconfortable, soit trop grand et il ne peut plus être porté car il peut être perdu.In addition, the circumference of the fingers can vary for the same person over time and the ring becomes too tight and therefore uncomfortable, too big and it can not be worn because it can be lost.

Le document DE 20 2005 015 550 U1 décrit une bague comprenant un anneau se séparant, sur une portion, en deux branches entre lesquelles est placé un élément décoratif amovible. Cette bague n'est que peu modulable et certainement inconfortable. Un bijou à anneaux rotatifs concentriques est aussi connu du document DE 299 24 052 U1 .The document DE 20 2005 015 550 U1 describes a ring comprising a ring separating, on a portion, into two branches between which is placed a removable decorative element. This ring is only modulable and certainly uncomfortable. A jewel with concentric rotary rings is also known from the document DE 299 24 052 U1 .

Chez certaines personnes, les doigts ont tendance à gonfler. De ce fait il est souvent désagréable de porter une bague comme celle-ci où le doigt est trop serré entre les deux branches de la bague. Cette bague ne peut de plus pas être facilement enlevée ou mise au doigt du fait de l'ouverture entre les deux branches.In some people, the fingers tend to swell. Therefore it is often unpleasant to wear a ring like this where the finger is too tight between the two branches of the ring. This ring can not be easily removed or fingered because of the opening between the two branches.

Il existe le besoin de proposer un bijou modulable pour évoluer en fonction des goûts et confortable à mettre, à enlever et à porter.There is a need to offer a modular jewel to evolve according to tastes and comfortable to put on, take off and wear.

A cet effet, la présente invention concerne un bijou destiné à être porté au doigt comprenant une pluralité de rouleaux intercalés et libres en rotation entre au moins deux bagues.To this end, the present invention relates to a jewelry intended to be worn on the finger comprising a plurality of intercalated rollers and free to rotate between at least two rings.

La présence entre les deux bagues de rouleaux ayant une possibilité de rotation diminue fortement les frottements entre le bijou et le doigt. Les rouleaux peuvent rouler sur le doigt ce qui limite les forces de frottement et favorise l'insertion ou le retrait du bijou.The presence between the two roller rings having a possibility of rotation greatly reduces the friction between the jewel and the finger. The rollers can roll on the finger which limits the friction forces and promotes the insertion or removal of the jewel.

Les rouleaux sont avantageusement répartis uniformément sur le pourtour des bagues pour répartir la pression entre le bijou et le doigt sur l'ensemble de ce dernier.The rollers are advantageously evenly distributed around the periphery of the rings to distribute the pressure between the jewel and the finger on the whole of the latter.

Le bijou définit une ouverture intérieure à travers laquelle le doigt est destiné à être inséré. La section de cette ouverture selon une direction principale d'insertion est minimale au niveau des rouleaux. Cette section représente une succession de creux de saillies formées respectivement par l'espace entre les rouleaux.The jewel defines an interior opening through which the finger is intended to be inserted. The section of this opening in a main direction of insertion is minimal at the level of the rollers. This section represents a succession of recesses of projections respectively formed by the space between the rollers.

Ainsi, le maintien du bijou sur le doigt est principalement assuré par les rouleaux. Ces creux permettent de limiter la pression d'ensemble du doigt, les saillies assurant quant à elles un maintien ferme.Thus, the maintenance of the jewel on the finger is mainly provided by the rollers. These recesses allow to limit the overall pressure of the finger, the projections ensuring a firm hold.

Selon un mode de réalisation, les bagues sont reliées l'une à l'autre par des tiges transversales.According to one embodiment, the rings are connected to one another by transverse rods.

Avantageusement, les rouleaux sont amovibles permettant d'être changés à volonté pour modifier l'aspect esthétique du bijou.Advantageously, the rollers are removable allowing to be changed at will to change the aesthetic appearance of the jewel.

Grâce à cette possibilité, la taille du bijou peut aussi être modifiée, en fixant des rouleaux de largeur différente, le diamètre interne est modifié. Cette modularité esthétique et fonctionnelle conduit à pouvoir conserver plus longtemps ce bijou puisque si la taille du doigt varie ou si la mode change, l'utilisateur peut rapidement modifier le bijou.Thanks to this possibility, the size of the jewel can also be modified, by fixing rollers of different width, the internal diameter is modified. This aesthetic and functional modularity leads to be able to keep longer this jewel since if the size of the finger varies or if the mode changes, the user can quickly modify the jewel.

D'autres buts et avantages apparaîtront au cours de la description qui suit un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention qui n'en est cependant pas limitatif.Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the description which follows a preferred embodiment of the invention which is not however limiting.

Il convient tout d'abord de rappeler que la présente invention concerne un bijou destiné à être porté au doigt caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend une pluralité de rouleaux intercalés et libres en rotation entre au moins deux bagues.It should firstly be recalled that the present invention relates to a jewel intended to be worn on the finger, characterized in that it comprises a plurality of rollers interposed and free to rotate between at least two rings.

Suivant des variantes préférées mais non limitatives de l'invention, le bijou est tel que :

  • les bagues sont des anneaux,
  • les bagues sont coaxiales,
  • les rouleaux sont uniformément répartis entre les anneaux,

  • les tiges transversales sont amovibles,
  • les rouleaux sont montés sur les entretoises elles même montées sur les tiges transversales,
  • la hauteur des entretoises est supérieure à la hauteur des rouleaux,
  • les tiges transversales comprennent une tige filetée mâle et une tige filetée femelle,
  • les bagues comprennent des alésages destinés à recevoir les tiges transversales.
  • la tige filetée femelle est configurée pour être introduite dans les alésages d'une première bague et la tige filetée mâle est configurée pour être introduit dans les alésages d'une deuxième bague.
According to preferred but non-limiting variants of the invention, the jewel is such that:
  • the rings are rings,
  • the rings are coaxial,
  • the rollers are uniformly distributed between the rings,
  • the rollers are removable,
  • the rollers are mounted on spacers with bore

  • the transverse rods comprise a male threaded rod and a female threaded rod,
  • the rings comprise bores for receiving the transverse rods.
  • the female threaded shank is configured to be inserted into the bores of a first ring and the male threaded shank is configured to be inserted into the bores of a second ring.

Les dessins ci-joints sont donnés à titre d'exemples et ne sont pas limitatifs de l'invention. Ils représentent seulement un mode de réalisation de l'invention et permettront de la comprendre aisément.

  • La figure 1 représente une vue éclatée du bijou selon l'invention.
  • La figure 2 est une vue en perspective du bijou selon la figure 1.
  • La figure 3 est une vue éclatée du bijou selon le même mode de réalisation de l'invention avec une rangée de rouleaux supplémentaires.
  • La figure 4 est une vue en perspective du bijou selon la figure 3.
The accompanying drawings are given by way of example and are not limiting of the invention. They represent only one embodiment of the invention and will make it easy to understand.
  • The figure 1 represents an exploded view of the jewel according to the invention.
  • The figure 2 is a perspective view of the jewel according to the figure 1 .
  • The figure 3 is an exploded view of the jewel according to the same embodiment of the invention with a row of additional rollers.
  • The figure 4 is a perspective view of the jewel according to the figure 3 .

Le bijou selon l'invention comprend au moins deux bagues 1 entre lesquelles sont intercalés des rouleaux 2 à l'intérieur desquels se trouvent des entretoises 9. Ces entretoises 9 sont d'une épaisseur légèrement supérieure à l'épaisseur des rouleaux 2 ce qui empêche l'écrasement des deux bagues et permet la mobilité des rouleaux 2.The jewel according to the invention comprises at least two rings 1 between which are inserted rollers 2 inside which there are spacers 9. These spacers 9 are of a thickness slightly greater than the thickness of the rollers 2 which prevents crushing both rings and allows the rollers to move 2.

L'entretoise 9 se place à l'intérieur du boulon 2.The spacer 9 is placed inside the bolt 2.

Le bijou est destiné à être porté au doigt.The jewel is intended to be worn on the finger.

Les bagues 1 sont de taille et de formes variables, à titre d'exemple comme représenté aux figures 1 à 4, les bagues 1 sont des nonagones.The rings 1 are of variable size and shape, for example as shown in FIGS. Figures 1 to 4 rings 1 are nonagons.

Selon une autre possibilité, les bagues 1 sont des anneaux. Préférentiellement, les bagues sont superposées. On peut donc définir une bague supérieure et une bague inférieure.Alternatively, the rings 1 are rings. Preferably, the rings are superimposed. It is therefore possible to define an upper ring and a lower ring.

Les rouleaux 2 sont aussi de forme et de taille variables. Ils peuvent être des sphères ou rouleaux de section cylindrique, conique, ou encore comme représentés aux figures 1 à 4, des cylindres dont la surface extérieure est formée de plusieurs segments tel un écrou ou un boulon. De manière générale, on désigne dans la présente demande par le terme "rouleau", tout organe comprenant un alésage et destiné à rouler ou tourner autour de cet alésage.The rollers 2 are also of variable shape and size. They can be spheres or rollers of cylindrical section, conical, or as represented in Figures 1 to 4 cylinders whose outer surface is formed of several segments such as a nut or a bolt. Generally speaking, the term "roll" in the present application refers to any member comprising a bore and intended to roll or turn around this bore.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, les rouleaux 2 ont un axe de rotation comprenant au moins une composante orientée selon la direction principale d'insertion du bijou. Généralement, la direction principale d'insertion du bijou est sensiblement parallèle à l'axe longitudinal du doigt destiné à recevoir le bijou. Dans le mode de réalisation particulier représenté sur les figures, les rouleaux 2 ont un axe de rotation sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan des bagues 1 et parallèle à l'axe longitudinal du doigt. Les rouleaux 2 sont libres en rotation entre les bagues 1 grâce aux entretoises 9.According to a preferred embodiment, the rollers 2 have an axis of rotation comprising at least one component oriented along the main insertion direction of the jewel. Generally, the main direction of insertion of the jewel is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the finger intended to receive the jewel. In the particular embodiment shown in the figures, the rollers 2 have an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the plane of the rings 1 and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the finger. The rollers 2 are free to rotate between the rings 1 thanks to the spacers 9.

Les rouleaux 2 sont munis d'alésages 6 permettant le passage des entretoises 9.The rollers 2 are provided with bores 6 allowing the passage of the spacers 9.

Des rouleaux 2 de tailles différentes peuvent être intercalés entre les bagues 1 permettant de moduler la hauteur du bijou mais aussi le diamètre interne pour ajuster le bijou à la taille du doigt.Rollers 2 of different sizes can be interposed between the rings 1 to modulate the height of the jewel but also the internal diameter to adjust the jewel to the size of the finger.

Avantageusement, les rouleaux 2 sont uniformément répartis sur le pourtour des bagues 1 contribuant à répartir les forces de compression et de frottement entre le bijou et le doigt sur toute la surface du doigt. Les tiges transversales 7/8 sont également uniformément réparties sur le pourtour des bagues 1.Advantageously, the rollers 2 are uniformly distributed around the periphery of the rings 1, helping to distribute the compression and friction forces between the jewel and the finger over the entire surface of the finger. The transverse rods 7/8 are also uniformly distributed around the periphery of the rings 1.

Selon une possibilité, les tiges transversales 7/8 maintiennent les rouleaux 2 entre les bagues 1. Ainsi les rouleaux 2 et les tiges transversales 7/8 sont en nombre identique.According to one possibility, the transverse rods 7/8 hold the rollers 2 between the rings 1. Thus the rollers 2 and the transverse rods 7/8 are identical in number.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté dans les figures 1 à 4, les bagues 1 sont des nonagones et une tige transversale 7/8 portant un rouleau 2 est placée à chaque somment du nonagone. A l'intérieur de chaque rouleau 2 se trouve une entretoise 9.In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 4 the rings 1 are nonagons and a 7/8 transverse rod carrying a roll 2 is placed at each end of the nonagone. Inside each roller 2 is a spacer 9.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, les bagues 1 sont percées d'alésages 4 destinés à recevoir les tiges transversales 7/8.According to a preferred embodiment, the rings 1 are pierced with bores 4 intended to receive the transverse rods 7/8.

Les tiges transversales 7/8 des tiges filetées mâles et femelles qui sont destinées à coopérer pour assembler le bijou. Les tiges transversales 7/8 sont munies à leur extrémité d'une tête 5.The transverse rods 7/8 male and female threaded rods which are intended to cooperate to assemble the jewel. The transverse rods 7/8 are provided at their end with a head 5.

La tige filetée femelle 8 est introduite dans l'alésage 4 d'une bague 1 et la tige filetée mâle 7 est introduite dans l'alésage 4 de la deuxième bague 1. La tige filetée mâle 7 pénètre dans la tige filetée femelle 8 et, par vissage, les deux tiges se fixent l'une à l'autre pour ne former qu'une seule tige transversale après l'assemblage.The female threaded rod 8 is introduced into the bore 4 of a ring 1 and the male threaded rod 7 is introduced into the bore 4 of the second ring 1. The male threaded rod 7 penetrates into the female threaded rod 8 and, by screwing, the two rods are fixed to each other to form a single transverse rod after assembly.

Selon une possibilité préférée de l'invention, tous les éléments du bijou sont amovibles, permettant ainsi à l'utilisateur de les faire varier à volonté.According to a preferred possibility of the invention, all the elements of the jewel are removable, thus allowing the user to vary them at will.

La longueur des tiges transversales 7/8 est choisie en fonction de la hauteur des rouleaux 2 et des entretoises 9.The length of the transverse rods 7/8 is chosen according to the height of the rollers 2 and the spacers 9.

Il est avantageux de prévoir que les alésages 4 soient d'un diamètre suffisant de sorte que les têtes 5 se situent à l'intérieur des alésages 4 et ne dépassent pas du plan des bagues 1.It is advantageous to provide that the bores 4 are of sufficient diameter so that the heads 5 are located inside the bores 4 and do not exceed the plane of the rings 1.

La libre rotation des rouleaux 2 entre les bagues 1 est possible grâce aux entretoises 9 placées à l'intérieur des rouleaux 2. L'épaisseur des entretoises 9 étant légèrement supérieure à l'épaisseur des rouleaux 2, un jeu est créé entre les bagues 1 et les rouleaux 2 permettant la rotation de ces derniers.The free rotation of the rollers 2 between the rings 1 is possible thanks to the spacers 9 placed inside the rollers 2. The thickness of the spacers 9 being slightly greater than the thickness of the rollers 2, a clearance is created between the rings 1 and the rollers 2 allowing the rotation of the latter.

Grâce à l'invention, il est possible d'envisager un bijou comprenant trois bagues ou plus, comme représenté en figures 3 et 4.Thanks to the invention, it is possible to envisage a jewel comprising three rings or more, as represented in FIG. Figures 3 and 4 .

Selon cette possibilité, la longueur des tiges transversales est allongée. Dans ce cas, la bague 1 centrale peut être montée libre en translation sur les tiges transversales 7/8.According to this possibility, the length of the transverse rods is lengthened. In this case, the central ring 1 can be freely mounted in translation on the transverse rods 7/8.

Une autre possibilité pour que les rouleaux soient libres en rotation entre les bagues 1 est de prévoir des tiges transversales 7/8 dont la longueur entre les bagues 1 est supérieure à la hauteur des rouleaux 2. Ainsi, sans la présence d'entretoise 9, les rouleaux 2 sont libres en rotation.Another possibility for the rollers to be free to rotate between the rings 1 is to provide transverse rods 7/8 whose length between the rings 1 is greater than the height of the rollers 2. Thus, without the presence of spacer 9, the rollers 2 are free to rotate.

Pour modifier l'aspect esthétique du bijou, les rouleaux 2 peuvent être sertis, transparents ou autres et les anneaux peuvent être sertis ou autres.To change the aesthetic appearance of the jewel, the rollers 2 can be crimped, transparent or other and the rings can be crimped or other.

Exemple de procédé de montage et d'assemblage :Example of assembly and assembly process:

Les tiges filetées femelles 8 sont insérées dans les alésages 4 d'une première bague 1.The female threaded rods 8 are inserted into the bores 4 of a first ring 1.

Les entretoises 9 sont enfilées sur les tiges filetées femelles 8 grâce à l'alésage 4.The spacers 9 are threaded onto the female threaded rods 8 through the bore 4.

Les rouleaux 2 sont enfilés sur l'entretoise 9 grâce à l'alésage 6.The rollers 2 are threaded onto the spacer 9 through the bore 6.

La deuxième bague 1 est enfilée sur les tiges filetées mâles 7 grâce à l'alésage 4.The second ring 1 is threaded onto the male threaded rods 7 by means of the bore 4.

La tige filetée mâle 7 est vissée sur la tige filetée 8 de manière à fixer l'assemblage.The male threaded rod 7 is screwed onto the threaded rod 8 so as to fix the assembly.

Les entretoises 9 sont donc maintenues fixement entre les deux bagues 1 laissant la possibilité aux rouleaux 2 d'être mobiles entre les bagues 1 sur les entretoises 9.The spacers 9 are thus fixedly held between the two rings 1 leaving the possibility for the rollers 2 to be movable between the rings 1 on the spacers 9.

Le même procédé est utilisé pour le montage et l'assemblage de trois bagues et plus en respectant le même ordre.The same process is used for mounting and assembling three rings and more in the same order.
