Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pendant for insertion of a coin, a jewel comprising such a pendent and an assembly of a pendent or jewel and a necklace or bracelet.
  • Pendants are widely available on the market today, which are generally bought in combination with a necklace.
  • the necklace has to be taken off, the pendant has to be removed and interchanged with another pendant, after which the necklace can be put on again.
  • This causes discomfort and inconvenience to the wearer of the pendant when, due to changes in style for instance, the wearer wishes the change the look of the pendant.
  • the invention thereto proposes a pendant for insertion of a coin, comprising a first and second holder part, arranged for holding at least one coin; wherein at least one of the first and second holder part is equipped with at least a part of one eyelet, to attach at least one of the first and second holder parts to a carrier; and wherein the first and second holder part are rotatably connected.
  • the rotatable connection between the first and second holder part makes it possible to change the coins inside the pendant freely, without having to remove the pendant from the carrier (for instance a necklace or bracelet).
  • another coin design gets into fashion, one simply removes the old coin and replaces it with the current coin, while keeping the holder. This saves effort, time and money compared to the old situation.
  • both holder parts When both holder parts are equipped with an eyelet they can either both be attached to the same necklace, wherein the necklace will form a common axis of rotation. It is also possible that the pendant will form a connection between two sides of a bracelet, closing the bracelet around for instance a wrist. It is also possible that the two holder parts each have a part of an eyelet, which are arranged to work together to form one eyelet, for attaching the pendant to the carrier on one or more locations. The eyelets of the two holder parts can thus be interlockable, to form one eyelet for attaching the pendant to the carrier.
  • the two holder parts are rotatable between a closed state, wherein the two holder parts enclose the coin at least partially, and an opened state, wherein the two holder parts allow insertion and/or removal of the coin.
  • the pendant can be closed and opened, wherein the pendant encloses the coin inside the pendant in its closed state, such that the coin cannot leave the pendant when the pendant is in its closed state.
  • the holder parts can be positioned in a coaxial orientation in the closed state.
  • the holder parts can for instance be two rings with a common point of rotation, wherein upon closure of the two holder parts the rings lay on top of each other, enclosing the coin between them.
  • the coaxial orientation of the holder parts may reduce the amount of space the pendant requires in its closed state.
  • the coaxial orientation has the constructional advantage that the eyelet may designed such that the eyelet also forms the hinge point (pivoting point) for mutual rotation of both holder parts.
  • the axis of rotation of the mutually rotatable holder parts in the closed state is substantially perpendicular to the common central axis of the coaxially oriented holder parts. This way the holder parts can rotate about an axis for instance formed by (a part of) the carrier to which at least one of the holder parts is attached.
  • the holder parts can be positioned at opposite sides of the coin in the closed state. When the holder parts are positioned on two sides of the coin they enclose the coin to keep it from falling out of the holder parts.
  • the two holder parts can also be rotatable to form an angle between 0 to 300 degrees between both parts. Such an angle makes it possible to easily access the coin inside the pendant between the two parts.
  • the angle could for instance be reduced to be between 0 and 180 degrees, since the pendant will then tend to be in contact with the wearer, making larger angle unfavourable.
  • the at least two eyelets When the holder parts are in the closed position the at least two eyelets can be placed coaxial.
  • the two eyelets which could be interlocked due to the coaxial orientation of their eyelets, can then have one axis of rotation, form for example by the necklace running through the eyelets.
  • the first and second holder parts can therefor be rotatable about an axis, which is close to, or substantially falling together with an axis of at least one eyelet.
  • the carrier can form the axis, such that, for example, the first and second holder parts are rotatable about an axis formed by a necklace whereto the pendant is attached.
  • the first holder part and the second holder part are interlockable at a location distant from the eyelet.
  • the holder parts are for instance lockable at a location opposite to the eyelet. Locking the first and second holder part allows for locking the coin inside the pendant, to make sure that the coin does not freely leave the pendant.
  • the first holder part can be provided with at least one first locking element and the second holder part can be provided with at least one second locking element configured to co-act with the at least one first locking element.
  • the two locking elements for instance interlock, locking the two parts together, preferentially locking the coin inside the pendant.
  • the first locking element can comprise at least one recess
  • the second locking element can comprise at least one hook, which is able to hook behind the at least one recess to interlock the two locking element, and thus the two holder parts.
  • the first holder part can be provided with at least one slit around the lock, to release the lock by means of for instance a fingernail of pincer. When a force is applied to the lock by the fingernail of pincer, the locking of the two locking parts can be lifted, unlocking the two holder parts.
  • first holder part and the second holder part are magnetically interlockable. Locking by means of magnetic forces does not require mechanical locking means, but allow the two holder parts to snap together upon magnetic forces. The lock can then be lifted when enough force is applied to the lock to overcome the magnetic forces.
  • At least one of the holder parts is provided with a flexible, in particular rubber, element, to prevent the coin from rotating when the pendent is in its closed state.
  • the flexible element can provide a layer between the coin and at least one of the holder parts. When the pendant is in its closed state, the coin can be pressed slightly into flexible element to keep it in place and prevent it from rotating.
  • At least one of the two holder parts is provided with a visualisation opening, arranged to allow the coin inside the pendant to be seen.
  • the two holder parts are for instance embodied as rings, with a spherical opening on at least one of the holder parts.
  • the visualisation opening of at least one of the two holder parts can have inner dimensions at least locally smaller than the outer dimensions of the coin, in order to show the coin and keep the coin inside the pendant.
  • the opening should not be of such dimension that the coin inside the pendant is able to leave the pendant when the pendant is in its closed state.
  • At least one of the holder parts is equipped with a protrusion extending substantially to the centre of the opening, to keep the coin in the opening.
  • the locally smaller inner dimensions of one of the holder parts can be formed by protrusions.
  • one of the holder parts may be formed as a ring around the coin.
  • the ring is provided with local protrusions, for instance four, spaced equally around the ring. The coin is held inside the ring by these protrusions. Small protrusions allow a large amount of coin to be seen, since little space is required to keep the coin inside the pendant.
  • the at least one protrusion can be provided with a rubber layer, to prevent the coin from rotating when the pendent is in its closed state.
  • the jewelry carrier is a necklace or a bracelet since most pendants are carried by a necklace or a bracelet.
  • At least one of the first and second holder part may be equipped with at least a part of one second eyelet, to attach the pendant to the carrier on two different locations on the pendant.
  • the pendant When the carrier is a bracelet, the pendant may form a link of the bracelet, and could even be arranged to form the part that locks the bracelet around for instance the wrist of the wearer of the pendant.
  • the second eyelet may be therefor arranged to be releasably lockable to the carrier, by means of for example a mechanical or magnetic lock.
  • the invention also relates to a jewel, comprising of a pendant according to the present invention, and a coin suitable for use in such a pendant.
  • the invention also relates to an assembly of a pendant or jewel according to the present invention and a jewelry carrier, in particular a necklace or bracelet.
