Definitions
- the invention relates to a jewelry chain, such as a neck, wrist or ankle chain according to the preamble of claim 1.
- This Schmucckette has an elastic support member, which is in particular thread, cord or band-shaped and on which a circumferential arrangement of jewelry elements is threaded.
- the decorative elements comprise at least one accent element, which for example has a particular size, shape, color or a special stone trim, as well as a plurality of intermediate elements, which are formed for example by substantially similar spherical, lenticular or elliptical elements.
- a passage opening is inserted, through which the support member extends therethrough.
- the passage opening of the at least one accent element extends along a main extension axis between two sides facing away from each other.
- the accent element also forms at least one rejuvenation area.
- a lying in the extension plane of the support element contour of the accent element tapers towards a third side.
- the elastic support member also has an original length, which refers to an original state of the support member without any external force and which is less than the total length of the openings of the circumferentially arranged jewelry elements through which the support member extends therethrough.
- Such jewelry chains can spread when you put on or take off as well as when carrying up to a certain width on to even in the closed circumferential Condition over the head, the hand or the foot to be able to be striped or created with exactly adapted width on the body part in question.
- Examples of jewelry chains are among others in the document CH 694 655 A5 or in the document GB 236,866 to find.
- the object of the invention is to develop such jewelry chains so that they achieve a special visual effect or allow a more versatile design.
- the passage opening of the at least one accent element on the sides facing away from each other extends at least partially into the tapering region. Due to the restoring forces of the carrier element, the accent element is thus automatically displaced in the initial state into a stop position with respect to the adjacent intermediate elements, in which the taper region is directed radially inward with respect to the circumferential extent of the jewelery chain.
- the accent element is supported via the tapering region from the inside by the adjacent intermediate elements, while the carrier element is prestressed from the outside against a radially inner boundary of the passage opening.
- the tapering region is clamped between the adjacent intermediate elements and the carrier element and the accent element is displaced radially outward relative to the remaining Schmucckette and determined that it extends over its largest extent away radially beyond the intermediate elements and thus a particularly exposed and visually striking position occupies.
- the two adjacent intermediate elements with the tapering region of the at least one accent element in the initial state each form a contact region which defines a contact plane.
- These two Contact planes close in the stop position a radially outwardly open bearing angle against which the tapering of the accent element.
- the elastic support element is angled in the contact areas to a predetermined extent.
- the support element also extends substantially rectilinearly between two adjacent accent elements in each case or only slightly in a arc over the entire length of the passage openings of the intermediate elements lying between them. In this way, the jewelry chain in the initial state automatically assumes a predetermined overall shape, in which the accent elements are brought to bear in a special way, such as at the corners of a star shape.
- the bearing angle between 20 and 160 °, whereby a stable positioning of the accent element against the adjacent intermediate elements can be ensured.
- the bearing angle between 40 and 140 °, whereby a particularly stable and exposed positioning of the respective Akzentiatas is achieved over the intermediate elements.
- the accent element forms a further taper region transversely to the main extension axis on a side facing away from the taper region and the passage opening extends from the first taper region over the main extension axis to the second taper region.
- the carrier element can be displaced within the passage opening over a relatively large angular range, whereby in the spread state of the carrier element a more comfortable donning or dropping the jewelry chain is made possible in which in particular larger accent elements are so movably held on the support element that they at arrival and Do not disturb the laying of the jewelry chain.
- the passage opening forms an opening slot on both sides facing away from one another, along which the respectively adjacent intermediate element can be displaced guided. This is the case Transition from the spread to the unloaded state of the carrier element ensures a safe displacement of the adjacent to the accent elements intermediate elements along the surface of the Akzentiatas in one of the predetermined stop positions.
- the respective adjacent intermediate elements on a spherically shaped application area in which the respective passage opening is recessed. Due to this spherical shape in the landing area, the intermediate elements can be displaced particularly reliably and without tilting into the respective stop position during the transition of the carrier element from the spread to the unloaded state. It is particularly advantageous if the intermediate elements are formed globally spherical.
- the tapering region of the at least one accent element is of spherical design. This allows a particularly comfortable to put on and take off the jewelry chain. It is particularly advantageous if the accent element is designed globally spherical.
- the tapering region of the at least one accent element is configured in the shape of a cone section. This makes it possible, for example, to form the accent element with an elongated shape, in which a larger part protrudes radially outward beyond the intermediate elements of the jewelry chain. In this way, with the accent elements a special optical effect on the jewelry chain can be caused.
- FIG. 1 shows a jewelry chain 2 with an elastic support member 4, on which a plurality of decorative elements is arranged circumferentially.
- the decorative elements have several accent elements 6 and interposed smaller intermediate elements 8.
- the accent elements 6 and intermediate elements 8 in this case also have any other shape and be occupied by at least one stone.
- a passage opening 10 is inserted, through which the support member 4 extends therethrough.
- the passage openings 10 of the accent elements 6 each extend along a main extension axis H from a first side S1 to a second side S2 of the accent element 6 facing away therefrom.
- the elastic support member 4 has an original length, which in an original state, in which no external forces acting on the support member 4, is less than a total length of all passage openings 10 of the circumferentially arranged decorative elements.
- elastic restoring forces act on the carrier element 4 in the illustrated initial state, in which the carrier element 4 is merely spread apart by the surrounding decorative elements supporting each other.
- These restoring forces of the carrier element 4 cause the first side S1 and the second side S2 facing away therefrom each Akzentiatas 6 respectively the adjacent intermediate element 8 is biased against a contact region 12 of the accent element 6.
- the passage opening 10 extends in this case on a surface 14 of the Akzentiatas 6 of the main extension axis H of the example embodied as a bore passage opening 10 in the form of a slot in the direction of a third side S3.
- the accent element 6 forms a tapering region 16 with respect to a contour lying in the plane of the carrier element 4.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schmuckkette, wie beispielsweise eine Hals-, Hand- oder Fußgelenkskette nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Diese Schmucckette weist ein elastisches Trägerelement auf, das insbesondere faden-, schnur- oder bandförmig ausgebildet ist und an dem eine umlaufende Anordnung von Schmuckelementen aufgefädelt ist. Die Schmuckelemente umfassen dabei wenigstens ein Akzentelement, das beispielsweise eine besondere Größe, Form, Farbe oder einen besonderen Steinbesatz aufweist, sowie mehrere Zwischenelemente, die beispielsweise durch im Wesentlichen gleichartige kugel-, linsen- oder ellipsenförmige Elemente gebildet sind. In das wenigstens eine Akzentelement und die Zwischenelemente ist dabei jeweils eine Durchtrittsöffnung eingelassen, durch die sich das Trägerelement hindurch erstreckt. Dabei erstreckt sich die Durchtrittsöffnung des wenigstens einen Akzentelementes entlang einer Haupterstreckungsachse zwischen zwei voneinander abgewandten Seiten. Quer zu dieser Haupterstreckungsachse formt das Akzentelement zudem wenigstens einen Verjüngungsbereich aus. In diesem verjüngt sich eine in Erstreckungsebene des Trägerelementes liegende Kontur des Akzentelementes zu einer dritten Seite hin. Das elastische Trägerelement weist zudem eine Ursprungslänge auf, die sich auf einen ursprünglichen Zustand des Trägerelementes ohne jegliche äußere Krafteinwirkung bezieht und die geringer ist als die Gesamtlänge der Durchtrittsöffnungen der umlaufend angeordneten Schmuckelemente, durch die sich das Trägerelement hindurch erstreckt. In Folge dieses Längenunterschiedes werden die zwei benachbarten Zwischenelemente des wenigstens einen Akzentelementes in einem Ausgangszustand der Schmuckkette, in dem das Trägerelement lediglich durch die sich aneinander abstützenden, umlaufenden Schmuckelemente aufgespreizt wird, jeweils gegen das Akzentelement vorgespannt.The invention relates to a jewelry chain, such as a neck, wrist or ankle chain according to the preamble of
Derartige Schmuckketten lassen sich beim An-oder Ablegen sowie beim Tragen bis zu einer bestimmten Weite auf spreizen, um auch im geschlossen umlaufenden Zustand über den Kopf, die Hand oder den Fuß gestreift werden zu können beziehungsweise mit exakt angepasster Weite an dem betreffenden Körperteil angelegt zu werden.Such jewelry chains can spread when you put on or take off as well as when carrying up to a certain width on to even in the closed circumferential Condition over the head, the hand or the foot to be able to be striped or created with exactly adapted width on the body part in question.
Beispielsweise sind unter der Bezeichnung Tennisarmband derartige Schmuccketten am Markt erhältlich, die eine Vielzahl kugel- beziehungsweise perlenförmiger Elemente aufweisen, die mit einer zentrischen Durchtrittsöffnung auf einem elastischen Trägerelement aufgefädelt sind.For example, under the name tennis bracelet such Schmukcketten available on the market, which have a variety of spherical or pearl-shaped elements which are threaded with a central passage opening on an elastic support member.
Beispiele von Schmuckketten sind u.a. im Dokument
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, derartige Schmuckketten so weiterzubilden, dass sie einen besonderen optischen Effekt erzielen beziehungsweise eine vielseitigere Gestaltung ermöglichen.The object of the invention is to develop such jewelry chains so that they achieve a special visual effect or allow a more versatile design.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Schmuckkette mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Dabei erstreckt sich die Durchtrittsöffnung des wenigstens einen Akzentelementes an den voneinander abgewandten Seiten wenigstens teilweise in den Verjüngungsbereich. Durch die Rückstellkräfte des Trägerelementes wird das Akzentelement im Ausgangszustand somit selbsttätig in eine Anschlagsposition gegenüber den benachbarten Zwischenelementen verlagert, in der der Verjüngungsbereich hinsichtlich der umlaufenden Erstreckung der Schmuckkette radial nach innen gerichtet ist. Hierbei wird das Akzentelement über den Verjüngungsbereich von innen durch die benachbarten Zwischenelemente abgestützt, während das Trägerelement von außen gegen eine radial innenliegende Begrenzung der Durchtrittsöffnung vorgespannt ist. Auf diese Weise wird der Verjüngungsbereich zwischen den benachbarten Zwischenelemente und dem Trägerelement festgeklemmt und das Akzentelement derart gegenüber der restlichen Schmucckette radial nach außen verlagert und festgelegt, dass es über seine größte Erstreckung hinweg radial nach außen über die Zwischenelemente hinaus ragt und dadurch eine besonders exponierte und optisch auffällige Position einnimmt.This object is achieved by the jewelry chain with the features of
Vorteilhafterweise bilden die beiden benachbarten Zwischenelemente mit dem Verjüngungsbereich des wenigstens einen Akzentelementes im Ausgangszustand hierbei jeweils einen Kontaktbereich, der eine Kontaktebene definiert. Diese beiden Kontaktebenen schließen in der Anschlagsposition einen radial nach außen geöffneten Lagerwinkel, an dem der Verjüngungsbereich des Akzentelementes anliegt. Hierdurch wird das elastische Trägerelement in den Kontaktbereichen in einem vorbestimmten Maße abgewinkelt. Im Falle mehrerer Akzentelemente erstreckt sich das Trägerelement zwischen jeweils zwei benachbarten Akzentelementen zudem im Wesentlichen geradlinig oder lediglich in einem leichten Bogen über die Gesamtlänge der Durchtrittsöffnungen der dazwischenliegenden Zwischenelemente hinweg. Auf diese Weise nimmt die Schmuckkette im Ausgangszustand selbsttätig eine vorbestimmte Gesamtform ein, bei der die Akzentelemente in besonderer Weise zur Geltung gebracht werden, wie beispielsweise an den Ecken einer Sternform.Advantageously, the two adjacent intermediate elements with the tapering region of the at least one accent element in the initial state each form a contact region which defines a contact plane. These two Contact planes close in the stop position a radially outwardly open bearing angle against which the tapering of the accent element. As a result, the elastic support element is angled in the contact areas to a predetermined extent. In the case of a plurality of accent elements, the support element also extends substantially rectilinearly between two adjacent accent elements in each case or only slightly in a arc over the entire length of the passage openings of the intermediate elements lying between them. In this way, the jewelry chain in the initial state automatically assumes a predetermined overall shape, in which the accent elements are brought to bear in a special way, such as at the corners of a star shape.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform beträgt der Lagerwinkel zwischen 20 und 160°, wodurch eine stabile Positionierung des Akzentelementes gegenüber den benachbarten Zwischenelementen gewährleistet werden kann. In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform beträgt der Lagerwinkel zwischen 40 und 140°, wodurch eine besonders stabile und exponierte Positionierung des betreffenden Akzentelementes gegenüber den Zwischenelementen erzielt wird.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the bearing angle between 20 and 160 °, whereby a stable positioning of the accent element against the adjacent intermediate elements can be ensured. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the bearing angle between 40 and 140 °, whereby a particularly stable and exposed positioning of the respective Akzentelementes is achieved over the intermediate elements.
Ferner ist es günstig, wenn das Akzentelement quer zur Haupterstreckungsachse an einer vom Verjüngungsbereich abgewandten Seite einen weiteren Verjüngungsbereich ausbildet und sich die Durchtrittsöffnung vom ersten Verjüngungsbereich über die Haupterstreckungsachse zum zweiten Verjüngungsbereich erstreckt. Hierdurch kann das Trägerelement innerhalb der Durchtrittsöffnung über einen relativ großen Winkelbereich verlagert werden, wodurch im aufgespreizten Zustand des Trägerelementes ein komfortableres Anlegen oder Ablegen der Schmuckkette ermöglicht wird, bei dem insbesondere auch größere Akzentelemente derart beweglich am Trägerelement gehalten sind, dass sie beim An- und Ablegen der Schmuckkette nicht stören.Furthermore, it is favorable if the accent element forms a further taper region transversely to the main extension axis on a side facing away from the taper region and the passage opening extends from the first taper region over the main extension axis to the second taper region. In this way, the carrier element can be displaced within the passage opening over a relatively large angular range, whereby in the spread state of the carrier element a more comfortable donning or dropping the jewelry chain is made possible in which in particular larger accent elements are so movably held on the support element that they at arrival and Do not disturb the laying of the jewelry chain.
Zudem ist es günstig, wenn die Durchtrittsöffnung an beiden voneinander abgewandten Seiten einen Öffnungsschlitz ausformt, entlang dessen das jeweils benachbarte Zwischenelement geführt verlagert werden kann. Hierdurch ist beim Übergang vom aufgespreizten zum unbelasteten Zustand des Trägerelementes eine sichere Verlagerung der zu den Akzentelementen benachbarten Zwischenelemente entlang der Oberfläche des Akzentelementes in eine der vorbestimmten Anschlagspositionen gewährleistet.In addition, it is favorable if the passage opening forms an opening slot on both sides facing away from one another, along which the respectively adjacent intermediate element can be displaced guided. This is the case Transition from the spread to the unloaded state of the carrier element ensures a safe displacement of the adjacent to the accent elements intermediate elements along the surface of the Akzentelementes in one of the predetermined stop positions.
Vorteilhafterweise weisen die jeweils benachbarten Zwischenelemente einen sphärisch ausgeformten Anlegebereich auf, in den die jeweilige Durchtrittsöffnung eingelassen ist. Durch diese sphärische Form im Anlegebereich können die Zwischenelemente beim Übergang des Trägerelementes vom aufgespreizten in den unbelasteten Zustand besonders sicher und ohne zu verkanten in die jeweilige Anschlagsposition verlagert werden. Dabei ist es besonders günstig, wenn die Zwischenelemente insgesamt kugelförmig ausgebildet sind.Advantageously, the respective adjacent intermediate elements on a spherically shaped application area, in which the respective passage opening is recessed. Due to this spherical shape in the landing area, the intermediate elements can be displaced particularly reliably and without tilting into the respective stop position during the transition of the carrier element from the spread to the unloaded state. It is particularly advantageous if the intermediate elements are formed globally spherical.
Ferner ist es günstig, wenn der Verjüngungsbereich des wenigstens einen Akzentelementes sphärisch ausgebildet ist. Dies ermöglicht ein besonders komfortables An- und Ablegen der Schmuckkette. Dabei ist es besonders günstig, wenn das Akzentelement insgesamt kugelförmig ausgebildet ist.Furthermore, it is favorable if the tapering region of the at least one accent element is of spherical design. This allows a particularly comfortable to put on and take off the jewelry chain. It is particularly advantageous if the accent element is designed globally spherical.
In einer alternativen vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist der Verjüngungsbereich des wenigstens einen Akzentelementes kegelabschnittsförmig ausgebildet. Hierdurch ist es beispielsweise möglich, das Akzentelement mit einer länglichen Form auszubilden, bei der ein größerer Teil radial nach außen über die Zwischenelemente hinaus von der Schmuckkette absteht. Auf diese Weise kann mit den Akzentelementen ein besonderer optischer Effekt an der Schmuckkette hervorgerufen werden.In an alternative advantageous embodiment, the tapering region of the at least one accent element is configured in the shape of a cone section. This makes it possible, for example, to form the accent element with an elongated shape, in which a larger part protrudes radially outward beyond the intermediate elements of the jewelry chain. In this way, with the accent elements a special optical effect on the jewelry chain can be caused.

Das elastische Trägerelement 4 weist eine Ursprungslänge auf, die in einem ursprünglichen Zustand, bei dem keinerlei äußere Kräfte auf das Trägerelement 4 einwirken, geringer ist als eine Gesamtlänge aller Durchtrittsöffnungen 10 der umlaufend angeordneten Schmuckelemente. Hierdurch wirken im dargestellten Ausgangszustand, bei dem das Trägerelement 4 lediglich durch die sich aneinander abstützenden umlaufenden Schmuckelemente aufgespreizt wird, elastische Rückstellkräfte auf das Trägerelement 4. Diese Rückstellkräfte des Trägerelementes 4 bewirken, dass an der ersten Seite S1 und an der hiervon abgewandten zweiten Seite S2 jedes Akzentelementes 6 jeweils das benachbarte Zwischenelement 8 gegen einen Kontaktbereich 12 des Akzentelementes 6 vorgespannt ist.The
