Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing an at least two-part jewelry ring according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the jewelry ring has a support ring and at least one recessed recess therein, which serves to receive a Einlageringes.
  • This at least one insert ring for example, to produce an optical gradation with respect to a surface of the support ring of a different material such as this or has with respect to the surface of a different color or surface finish.
  • the at least one insert ring is first drawn onto the carrier ring.
  • the insert ring to an inner diameter which is minimally larger than an outer diameter of the Surringes.
  • the size of the insert ring is adapted to the size of the recess whereby the insert ring is positioned in the recess.
  • the plastic deformation is generated by means of an annular compressive stress, which is applied to an outer side of the at least one insert ring and is directed radially inwardly.
  • the carrier ring is initially in a size that is significantly smaller than the desired final size, so that the inner diameter of the insert ring is sufficiently large to be pushed over the outer diameter of the support ring and to place it over the recess. Subsequently, the carrier ring is spread open, for example by means of an iron dome, wherein the inner and outer diameter is increased such that on the one hand the insert ring is received in the recess and on the other hand, the desired final size of the inner diameter is substantially achieved.
  • a disadvantage of the known production method is that the support rings used in the case of the gold or silver alloys usually used can only be spread to a very limited extent. Consequently, the depth of the recess in which the insert ring is received is usually at most 1.0 mm.
  • this low ingestible material thickness of the insert ring is in many cases not sufficient to be able to produce, for example, a socket for a gemstone in the region of the insert ring. Rather, it often comes when inserting versions in such Einlageringe deformations or even a break.
  • sufficient frictional connection which prevents rotation of the insert ring relative to the support ring, often be ensured only by an additional annealing, by which, however, the material hardness is reduced.
  • FR 634 323 A describes a two-part ring in which an inner ring has a circumferential on its outer side annular groove.
  • the annular groove serves to receive an outer ring whose inner diameter is initially slightly larger than the outer diameter of the inner ring and which can be pressed into the annular groove or shrunk onto it.
  • FR 2 491 743 A1 describes a device for spreading or narrowing wedding rings.
  • FR 2 503 995 A1 describes the production of a two-part ring, in which an inner ring is expanded by means of an expanding mandrel. In this case, an outer ring is received in an annular groove, which is embedded in an outer surface of the inner ring.
  • CH 141 116 A shows a two-part ring in which a platinum tire is blasted or cast in the circumferential groove of a gold ring.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages mentioned in a generic manufacturing method and to produce a simple means a high adhesion between the insert ring and the carrier ring and to allow the use of stronger Einlageringen.
  • the application of the annular compressive stress is carried out by pressing the carrier ring with the mounted insert ring in a cylindrical compression shape with a conical inlet region.
  • a uniform annular compressive stress can be applied to the outside of the insert ring by simple means by which it is evenly compressed over its circumference, with its material being distributed uniformly in the recess of the carrier ring during the plastic deformation associated therewith.
  • Such a compression of the insert ring can be carried out for conventional gold or silver alloys for jewelry rings up to a material thickness of the insert ring of 1.6 mm. With this material thickness larger inserts for stones, in particular gemstones, can be easily embedded in the insert ring.
  • the compression of the insert ring causes this at a certain cross-sectional widening, by means of which it can clamp very stable in the recess.
  • a relatively high adhesion between the insert ring and the carrier ring is produced by the undesirable Relative movements between the two rings can be prevented without the need for an additional annealing process.
  • the pressing in of the carrier ring takes place with at least two mounted Einlageringen, which are each positioned over a corresponding recess.
  • the jewelry ring to achieve a special visual effect can be provided with several Einlageringen.
  • the carrier ring is first spread slightly before being pressed into the compression mold, whereby the at least one mounted insert ring can be fixed relatively stable and exactly in the radial direction over the recess before the press-fitting is carried out. This can ensure that the insert ring is spent without tilting in the recess provided for him.
  • the slight Aufspreitzen the carrier ring can be done for example by means of input of an expanding mandrel.
  • the carrier ring is compressed in the axial direction after the insert ring has been moved into the recess in a subsequent step becomes. In this way, a particularly high adhesion between the insert ring and the carrier ring can be achieved.
  • the object is achieved by a jewelry ring produced in one of the abovementioned methods, wherein the latter has at least one insertion ring which is brought into the recess over a cross-sectional depth of at least 1.4 mm.
  • At least one socket for receiving a stone is embedded in the insert ring. Because of the relatively large depth of the Einlageringes larger stones can be taken easily.
  • the jewelery ring has at least four insertion rings, whereby a particular optical effect of the finished jewelery ring can be produced, in particular with different surfaces of the insertion rings.
  • Fig. 1 shows a two-part jewelry ring 2 produced by a method according to the invention, which has a support ring 4 and a bearing ring 6.
  • a recess 10 is recessed in the form of an annular groove in an outer side 8 of the support ring 4, which serves to receive the Einlageringes 6.
  • the recess 10 has a depth t N which corresponds approximately to a thickness d E of the insert ring 6 and is 1.4 mm by way of example.
  • the insert ring 6 has an inner diameter DiE, which is slightly larger than an outer diameter DaT of the support ring 4th
  • the insert ring 6 is first mounted in a first step on the outer side 8 of the support ring 4 and with respect to a main axis A of the support ring 4 exactly in a radial projection region of the recess 10 is displaced, as in Fig. 3 shown.
  • the carrier ring 4 can then be slightly expanded in a second step, for example by means of a Sp Schwarzdomes 12, as shown by dotted lines.
  • the support ring 4 is pressed together with the mounted insert ring 6 in a third step by means of a press-fit body 14 in a cylindrical compression mold 16, as in Fig. 4 shown.
  • a press-fit body 14 in a cylindrical compression mold 16
  • an outer side 18 of the insert ring 6 is applied to a conically shaped boundary surface 20 of an entry region 22, as shown by dashed lines, wherein an inwardly directed, annular compressive stress D is generated, which acts on the outer side 18.
  • the insert ring 6 is plastically deformed and spent in the recess 10 until the insert ring 6 is completely absorbed in this, as also shown by dotted lines.
  • a fifth step can then be made to increase the frictional connection between the insert ring 6 and the support ring 4, an additional axial compression of the jewelry ring 2 parallel to the main axis A, for example, by means of two compression body 24, as in Fig. 5 shown.
  • a socket 26 for a stone 28 can be introduced into the insert ring 6, as in FIG Fig. 7 shown.
  • Fig. 8 shows a further embodiment of the jewelry ring 2 which is made in the same manner as described above.
  • the jewelery ring 2 in this case has a plurality of recesses 10, in each case a separate insert ring 6 has been dipped in the upsetting process described above.
  • the number of four Einlageringen 6 or recesses 10 is to be understood merely as an example.
