Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gem.
  • gems can include a set of materials of different origin (predominantly minerals) which, owing to their brilliance, color, transparency and rarity, acquire a high economic and emotional value.
  • Mineral gems can generally be processed by cutting or polishing in order to enhance their characterizing qualities. Generally speaking, for an equal rarity, the preciousness of gems is determined by their purity and color.
  • each gem once processed, has precisely and uniquely identifiable characteristics.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the problems described above, by proposing a gem that allows variations of the optical effects that it produces with respect to an observer.
  • an object of the invention is to propose a gem that allows variations of its own color.
  • Another object of the present invention is to propose a gem that can emit a multicolored luminous radiation of variable intensity and frequency.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a gem that has modest costs, is relatively simple to provide in practice and is safe in application.
  • a gem characterized in that it comprises a pair of shell parts that can be mutually coupled so as to form a shell, said shell comprising an internal cavity that accommodates at least one processor that controls at least one display, which is directed toward the outside of a respective shell part, and at least one electric charge storage device, at least one shell part being made of a material selected preferably from natural materials, synthetic materials, imitation materials, and the like.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates a gem according to the invention.
  • the gem 1 according to the invention comprises positively a pair of shell parts 2 and 3, which can be mutually coupled so as to form a shell 4.
  • the shell 4 can have the overall external appearance of the type of a traditional gem.
  • the execution of embodiments in which the shell 4 has a different shape is not excluded: for example, it is possible to provide fancy shapes or reproductions of geometric, natural and/or other shapes.
  • At least one first shell part 2 is made of a material of the type selected preferably from natural materials, synthetic materials, imitation materials, and the like.
  • Natural materials include (merely by way of example, without this defining any limitation to the field of application of the present invention) diamonds, corundums, beryls, quartzes, tourmalines, and the like.
  • synthetic materials it is instead appropriate to mention (by way of nonlimiting example), corundum, synthetic spinel, sapphire glass, cubic zirconia, transparent ceramic and the like.
  • the imitation materials can comprise glass, polymeric materials, composite materials, and the like.
  • At least one of the shell parts 2, 3 might also be made of any one of the materials of the following list: diamond, sapphire, ruby, beryl, amethyst, quartz, emerald, alabaster, aquamarine, adularia, chrysoberyl, rock crystal, chrysoprase, jade, garnet, cordierite, lapis lazuli, opal, spinel, tanzanite, topaz, tourmaline, tasavorite, turquoise, obsidian, amber, moldavite, ivory, coral, pearl, jet, and the like.
  • the present invention is particularly suited for embodiments in which the material used for at least one of the shell parts 2 and 3 is transparent or partially transparent.
  • the adoption of opaque materials is not excluded, therefore, it is specified that the best applications of the present invention refer to the adoption of materials for at least one of the shell parts 2, 3 that allow the transmission of light through them.
  • the second shell part 3 with polymeric, metallic, composite, ceramic materials and/or combinations thereof with each other and/or with the materials that can be used for the first shell part 2.
  • the shell 4 comprises an internal cavity 5 within which at least one processor 6 is accommodated which controls at least one display 7, which is directed outward with reference to the respective shell part 2 and/or 3 that contains it, and at least one electric charge storage device 8.
  • the electric charge storage device 8 is an actual rechargeable battery of the miniaturized type.
  • At least one partition 9 of the type preferably selected from a base for printed circuits (of the type known as printed circuit board), a transparent plate, a translucent lamina, an opaque plate, and the like.
  • partition 9 might be made of a metal plate.
  • PCB printed circuit boards
  • Vetronite a composite material based on glass fiber with dielectric properties
  • the display 7 can conveniently be constituted by a liquid crystal screen.
  • liquid crystal screens it is appropriate to specify the unquestionable interest for some types of screen that are currently in use, such as LED screens and screens of the type known as OLED. In any case, resorting to liquid crystal screens of a different technology is not excluded.
  • the processor 6 is designed to control and manage the liquid crystal screen and in particular controls its polarization criteria, in order to condition the beam of light emitted by the display 7.
  • the gem 1 advantageously can comprise a receiving unit, which is coupled electrically to the processor 6 and to the electric charge storage device 8, for inductive connection to an external induction battery charger.
  • the receiving unit can be simply constituted by a plurality of turns of conducting material which, exposed to the magnetic field that is variable over time and is induced by an induction battery charger (of a substantially known type), they are subject to the circulation of an (induced) electric current, which can recharge the storage device 8.
  • At least one of the shell parts 2, 3 (with particular reference to the embodiment shown in the accompanying figures, preferably the second shell part 3) comprises at least one accommodation hole for a connector that is connected to the processor 6 and to the electric charge storage device 8.
  • This connector conveniently can be coupled to the terminal of an external battery charger (which in turn is connected to the electric grid or to another power source).
  • the gem 1 according to the invention in different constructive variations thereof, can be supplied with power by means of an induction or wired power supply device.
  • the cable can also be used to transfer data strings from a computer, managed by the user, to the gem 1, in order to program, control and adjust the brightness variations of the display 7.
  • such gem can efficiently comprise a transceiver module, of the type selected preferably from Bluetooth®, wireless, near field contactless, infrared, and the like, for the remote control and adjustment of the light beam emitted by the display 7, in particular the intensity, color, color combination, frequency thereof and their variation over time.
  • a transceiver module of the type selected preferably from Bluetooth®, wireless, near field contactless, infrared, and the like, for the remote control and adjustment of the light beam emitted by the display 7, in particular the intensity, color, color combination, frequency thereof and their variation over time.
  • a further constructive possibility which provides for the presence on the gem 1 of at least one sensor, of the type selected preferably from thermal, pressure, relative humidity, lighting, user physiological parameters, which at least partially faces outward, is equally interesting.
  • the sensor detects the parameter (or parameters for which it is designed) and transmits/transfers them to the processor 6 in the form of an electrical signal.
