Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ring-shaped piece of jewelry with a variable appearance, in particular a finger ring.
  • the jewel consists of a plurality of interconnected and mutually movable coaxial ring elements, the ring elements comprising at least one inner ring element and two outer ring elements and wherein the inner ring element and the outer ring elements with respect to each other in changing the appearance of the jewel Move positions in which the outer ring elements each have different outer Cover peripheral surface portions of the inner ring member, the inner ring member is disposed in the axial direction between the two outer ring members or between parts of the outer ring members.
  • Such a ring-shaped piece of jewelry is from the EP 0 642 750 A1 known.
  • This document describes an annular structure which is suitable for the production of jewelry.
  • An annular piece of jewelery formed in this way has a multiplicity of annular elements, in particular of two annular elements which are successively arranged one inside the other, the diameters of these annular elements decreasing relative to one another so that the annular elements can be pushed into one another and pulled apart telescopically.
  • the individual ring elements are connected to one another such that they are displaceable in the axial direction along a displacement, optionally in a position in which the outer ring element completely or at least partially covers the inner ring element received by it and in a position in which the inner ring element is completely or at least partially not covered by the outer ring element, so that the inner ring element is completely or at least partially visible. Due to the displacement movement, due to the telescopic design of this ring structure, the axial extent of the ring-shaped piece of jewelry thus formed changes disadvantageously.
  • Ring-shaped jewelery with only two coaxial ring elements which can be moved in relation to each other in different positions in which the outer ring member covers different outer peripheral surface areas of the inner ring member, thereby providing different appearances of the jewelry piece, are further from the DE 201 11 802 U1 and the US 5 483 808 A known.
  • the inner ring element has a smaller inner diameter than the outer ring element, so that after attaching the piece of jewelry on a body member, for example a finger in the case of a finger ring, only the inner ring member is supported on the body member. Thereby, the outer ring member can be moved in relation to the inner ring member in different positions without removing the piece of jewelry,
  • a body member for example a finger in the case of a finger ring
  • an axially open gap is formed, in which dirt can easily accumulate.
  • the outer ring member at one end face an inwardly projecting collar whose inner diameter corresponds to the inner diameter of the inner ring member, so that after the attachment of the jewel on a body member both the outer ring member and the inner ring member are supported on the body member.
  • a further disadvantage of the aforementioned pieces of jewelry in aesthetic terms is that they can not form mirror-symmetrical to a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body member center plane, which is particularly desirable in finger rings of many customers.
  • the DE 42 10 982 A1 discloses a similar piece of jewelry which also presents a risk of pinching parts of the body member in an inwardly open gap between an annular outer member and an annular inner member when the two members are removed without removing the jewel be moved towards each other by a limb.
  • the DE 42 10 982 A1 further discloses a piece of jewelry of the type mentioned, since there are many possible variations, if there are several outer parts that are displaceable on the inner part independently of each other as on an axis and selectively cover different areas of the outer wall of the inner part.
  • the EP2491808 reveals a piece of jewelry with a changing appearance.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a ring-shaped piece of jewelry of the type mentioned above with a variable appearance, in which the ring elements can move on a body member in relation to each other without dirt between the ring elements and the body member can penetrate and preferably without the risk of pinching parts of the limb,
  • the outer ring members can be positioned at the opposite ends of the jewelry piece and sized so that they fit snugly against the body member, thereby preventing the ingress of dirt between the jewelry piece and the body member.
  • the two outer ring elements are coupled to one another by the inner ring element such that the inner ring element reciprocate in the axial direction by rotating one of the two outer ring elements relative to the other of the two outer ring elements leaves.
  • the inner ring element are different parts of the inner ring member of the covered both outer ring elements, which maintain their axial position during the axial movement of the inner ring member.
  • the inner cross section or inner diameter of the outer ring elements or of parts of the outer ring elements is advantageously smaller than the inner cross section or inner diameter of the inner ring element
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention provides that a spacer is arranged radially inwardly of the inner ring member, which holds the two outer ring elements in relation to each other in a predetermined axial position. It is thereby achieved that only the inner ring member moves in the axial direction of the body member when the ring members are placed on the body member with respect to each other in a different position, while an axial movement of the two outer ring members is avoided.
  • the radially inwardly disposed from the inner ring member spacers can be readily formed so that it prevents pinching of parts of the body member between the inner ring member and the outer ring member in an axial movement of the inner ring member.
  • the spacer can either be formed by an additional spacer element which is inserted between parts, preferably inner peripheral portions, of the two outer ring elements and holds the two outer ring elements at a predetermined distance, or it can of parts, preferably inner peripheral portions, of the two outer ring elements are formed, which bear against each other with two opposite end faces and hold the two outer ring elements in the predetermined axial position.
  • the spacer is tube-shaped or sleeve-shaped and preferably has an abutting against the body member inside, so that the piece of jewelry abuts not only at the two ends but also radially inwardly from the spacer against the body member.
  • the inside of the spacer advantageously forms a coaxial to the two outer ring elements and the inner ring element smoothly generally cylindrical contact surface for the body member whose inner diameter is advantageously smaller than the inner diameter of is radially outward from the spacer arranged inner ring member and corresponds to the inner diameter of the entire piece of jewelry or the inner diameter of the two outer ring elements at the opposite ends of the jewelry piece.
  • the inner ring member is axially movable with respect to the two outer ring elements, but can be according to an advantageous variant of the invention rotate only with respect to one of the two outer ring elements, while firmly connected to the other of the two outer ring elements is. According to another variant of the invention, however, it can also be provided that the axial movement of the inner ring element is connected to a rotation of two parts of the inner ring element with respect to each other.
  • a further preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the inner ring member consists of at least two parts, which are preferably exchangeable, so that the design of the inner ring member can be varied many times by selecting different parts and also the aforementioned relative rotation of two parts of the inner Ring element is enabled.
  • the inner ring member is positively held in two end positions, so that it can not move out of the end positions readily, but only by a voluntary rotation of the two outer ring elements in relation to each other.
  • the coupling between the ring elements can be carried out according to a first advantageous variant of the invention by at least one additional in the radial direction inwardly of the inner ring member arranged annular or sleeve-shaped link element with a guide link in which at least one guide pin is guided movable fixed to one of the outer ring elements or can be firmly connected to the inner ring member.
  • two ring-shaped or sleeve-shaped link elements are provided with different guide slots, wherein the at least one guide pin extends through the guide slot of a link element and projects with its free end into the guide slot of the other link element.
  • the coupling of the inner ring member with the outer ring elements also be effected by a radially inwardly from the inner ring member arranged toothed ring element with a spur gear, which is in engagement with a spur toothing of an opposing toothed ring element, wherein the inner ring element is fixedly connected to one of the two toothed ring elements, wherein one of the two toothed ring elements can be rotated relative to the other toothed ring element by the rotation of the two outer ring elements, and wherein this rotation causes an axial movement of the toothed ring element connected to the inner ring element.
  • the piece of jewelry advantageously comprises a spring, which counteracts the axial movement of the toothed ring element connected to the inner ring element in one direction.
  • a third advantageous variant of the invention provides that the inner
  • Ring member is connected to both outer ring elements by pivotable coupling members which are pivoted during a movement of the inner ring member relative to the outer ring members both relative to the inner ring member and relative to the outer ring members.
