- the modular elements concatenated with each other in different ways are known. However all these embodiments are characterized by the fact that they are obtained by machining.
- the box-shaped element is typically obtained by cutting a flat body according to a specific shape which, when folded, allows to obtain the box-shaped body.
- junction between one element and the next one of the concatenation is carried out by coupling a flat body (still open modular element) to a box-shaped body (already folded modular element).
- machining cost is typically high since the machines used are complex and expensive.

- modular element of the invention can also be made by means of the lost wax microcasting technique.
- a further object of the present invention is that the modular element is moulded in such a way that the concatenation between elements made manually allows to obtain a chain which is in any case uniform regardless of the capability of the user making it.

- such shaped body 2 comprises a pair of openings 6 created on the lateral surface 8 of the shaped body 2 at the tail end 4. They are also connected to a channel 9 created within the shaped body 2 itself. Channel 9 , in particular, serves as connection between the two openings 6.
- the shaped body 2 is a box-shaped body comprising a base plate 10 and an upper plate 11 separated by a pair of partitions 12.
- channel 9 is formed by the whole area between the two plates 10 and 11 with the openings 6 separated by one of the partitions 12.
- the openings and the channel can be obtained from a solid or with other processes then the superposition of two plates separated by partitions. Moreover, even when using plates, also the number of partitions must not be considered as a limiting feature of the present invention.
- the upper portion of the shaped body can be associated with further embellishment elements by means of adhesives, welding or precision castings.
- further embellishment elements are absent and the upper portion of the shaped body, perhaps decorated with incisions or the like, is left exposed.
- the modular element 1 also comprises a pair of jaws 15 connected to the head end 3 and shaped to be inserted in the inner channel 9 each through a respective opening 6.
- they have a shape such as to embrace the partition 12 at the tail end 4 when their free ends 16 are pushed against one another. In this way, the concatenation of two subsequent modular elements 1 is obtained.
- the modular element 1 can be made without the use of specific machines and, for example, with the lost wax microcasting technology. As a matter of fact, it does not need to be obtained by cutting subsequently folded plates. This means a significant saving in terms of production costs and also enables to make limited sampling.
- the jaws 15 are shaped so as to emerge from the plan projection of the shaped body 2 lateral surface 8 at least initially.
- the two jaws 15 are substantially L-shaped, but also such detail must not be considered as limiting of the invention. Moreover, the two jaws can have any shape, even different from one another. The protrusion of both of them from the plan lateral surface of the shaped body is also not a limitative feature of the invention. As a matter of fact, the important aspect is that at least in the initial state, that is at least before closure, one protrudes so as to allow it to be pushed towards the other acting from outside the shaped body and without damaging it. As a result, the second jaw could also be straight.
- each pair of jaws 15 By acting on each pair of jaws 15 by means of grippers or the like, they are pushed against each other, closing the concatenation obtaining the result that can be seen in fig. 4 .
- portions 20 of the free ends 16 of the jaws 15 have a rounded outer surface.
- the base portion of the L. is rounded. Since the concatenation of the modular elements 1 should be laterally rigid, but longitudinally well flexible in order to use it in particular for bracelets and necklaces, the rounded shape of the L base allows to minimize the friction between subsequent modular elements 1 when flexed with respect to each other in the longitudinal direction of the concatenation.
- the aesthetic quality of the chain obtained with the modular element of the invention is comparable to that of equivalent chains obtained by means of machining, but at the same time the costs are lower.

Description
- The present invention is generally applicable to the jewellery and costume jewellery field and refers to chains or costume jewellery accessories such as bracelets, necklaces, earrings or the like.
- In particular, the present invention refers to a modular element used for the composition of the above mentioned chains with particular, but not exclusive, reference to the so called "tennis" chain type.
- In the state of the art jewellery items such as bracelets, chains, rings, earrings or others created by joining together in series a number of modular elements are known.
- A particular type of such items is called "tennis", and is made up of elements characterized by a box-shaped body provided with a setting to hold precious stones or the like.
- The box-shaped elements concatenation in series is currently made in various ways.
- In some cases the box-shaped elements are provided with a passing channel to insert them into a filament which creates the junction in series. Such solution, although practical, allows poor aesthetic results since the resulting concatenation is irregular. The modular elements, as a matter of fact, have a high degree of freedom of movement with respect to each other. Furthermore, although close to each other, the flexibility of the chain entails that the filament is often in sight. Moreover, the filament breaking may entail the complete unravelling of the concatenation with the risk of losing the modular elements.
- Therefore various embodiments of the modular elements concatenated with each other in different ways are known. However all these embodiments are characterized by the fact that they are obtained by machining. In particular, the box-shaped element is typically obtained by cutting a flat body according to a specific shape which, when folded, allows to obtain the box-shaped body.
- The junction between one element and the next one of the concatenation is carried out by coupling a flat body (still open modular element) to a box-shaped body (already folded modular element).
- In this way, regular and aesthetically well-finished concatenations are obtained. Furthermore, the junction breaking between two successive modular elements does not entail the complete dissolution of the concatenation.
- However, said machining cost is typically high since the machines used are complex and expensive. The hourly machining cost is also high and is amortized by creating particularly long concatenations. However, this does not allow machining for a few jewellery items. In other words, such type of production is advantageously applicable only for a large number of jewellery items, not for samples or similar.
- In such cases, therefore, the manual making of the modular elements and their concatenation is then performed.
- Typically, modular elements are obtained with the lost wax microcasting technique and are concatenated with each other using filament segments emerging from an element, and which invest a through hole obtained in the next element. The filament is then manually folded and welded.
- It is clear that the narrower the filament folding is, the more uniform the aesthetic appearance of the chain is. However, the folding may not be too tight since it must allow a good degree of freedom of movement between the individual modular elements in order to allow the making of bracelets, necklaces or other.
- Since the making is manual, it is clear that the concatenation quality is therefore entrusted to the skill of the person who makes it. In any case, it always results as irregular with serious effects on the aesthetics of the finished product. Document
US 5 592 835 discloses a modular element according to the preamble ofclaim 1. - The object of the present invention is to overcome at least partially the above mentioned drawbacks by providing a modular element for the production of chains such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings and the like which allows the manual making of the concatenation.
- Another object is that the modular element of the invention can also be made by means of the lost wax microcasting technique.
- A further object of the present invention is that the modular element is moulded in such a way that the concatenation between elements made manually allows to obtain a chain which is in any case uniform regardless of the capability of the user making it.
- In other words, an object of the present invention is to provide a modular element whose moulding facilitates manual concatenation so that the obtained item is more aesthetically pleasing and regular with respect to equivalent items of the known art obtained with manual techniques.
- Another object is that the obtained item has an aesthetic quality comparable to known equivalent items obtained by means of machining.
- At the same time, a further object is that the obtained item has lower making costs than those of known equivalent items obtained by means of machining.
- Said objects, as well as others which will become clearer below, are achieved by a modular element for the production of chains such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings and the like according to the following claims which are to be considered integral part of the present patent.
- In particular, the modular element comprises a body, typically but not necessarily box-shaped, having a head end and a tail end moulded for stable coupling to further respective modular elements so as to create a chain.
- According to an aspect of the invention, the shaped body comprises at least a pair of openings connected to a channel within the body itself which connects them. In particular, the openings are spaced with a partition and created on the lateral surface of the shaped body at least at the tail end.
- There are also at least a pair of jaws connected to the head end and shaped to fit at least partially into the inner channel.
- Each of the jaws, moreover, is moulded to fit into a respective opening.
- According to another aspect of the invention, at least one of the jaws emerges from the plan projection of the shaped body lateral surface at least in a step before stable coupling of the modular element with another modular element.
- In this way, advantageously, it is possible to manually assembly the chain. As a matter fact, in case of manual assembly of the chain, i.e. manual concatenation of the modular elements, it is possible to act on at least one of the jaws pushing it towards the other to obtain the joining of the two free ends within the channel. The stable junction between the two modular elements is thus obtained.
- Still advantageously, the push acting on the jaws is outside the shaped body and does not affect it since, as said, the jaws protrude from the plan projection in the plan view of such shaped body. As a result, it is advantageously avoided that the tool used for such push contacts the shaped body and damages it. Such contact can be carried out when the junction is almost done, but it is clear that contact time and extent are such as to limit any damage to a minimum.
- According to an aspect of the invention, however, at least one of the jaws typically, but not necessarily, protrudes from the aforesaid plan projection even when the free ends junction is done. In this case, advantageously, the contact between the tool and the shaped body is completely avoided.
- Still advantageously, the manual assembly possibility allows to reduce the production costs and to make, therefore, even small samples.
- The assembly is still precise and allows to avoid damage to the box-shaped body thus guaranteeing a quality similar to the equivalent items created with specific machines.
- The closure type, however (two jaws that are tightened up to contact) advantageously guarantees a regular junction regardless of the capability of the user who assembles the chain.
- Still advantageously, the modular element can be made using the lost wax microcasting technique with further savings in production costs.
- Further features and advantages of the invention will be clearer in light of the detailed description of a preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment of a modular element for the production of chains such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings and the like according to the invention, illustrated as a non-limiting example with the assistance of the accompanying drawings tables wherein:
-
FIG. 1 shows an axonometric view of a modular element according to the invention; -
FIG. 2 shows a pair of modular elements according toFIG. 1 combined for concatenation. -
FIGS. 3 to 5 show operative moments of a modular elements concatenation according toFIG. 1 . - With reference to the mentioned figures, and in particular to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , amodular element 1 is disclosed for the production of chains such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings and the like. Suchmodular element 1 is typically used to create chains of the so called "tennis" type. - In this sense, the
modular element 1 comprises ashaped body 2 in which ahead end 3 and atail end 4 can be identified which are moulded by stable coupling to further respectivemodular elements 1 so as to create a chain. In other words, the two ends 3 and 4 of the shapedbody 2 are moulded to directly allow a concatenation without additional elements. - According to an aspect of the invention, such
shaped body 2 comprises a pair ofopenings 6 created on thelateral surface 8 of the shapedbody 2 at thetail end 4. They are also connected to achannel 9 created within the shapedbody 2 itself.Channel 9, in particular, serves as connection between the twoopenings 6. - In more details in the disclosed embodiment, the shaped
body 2 is a box-shaped body comprising abase plate 10 and anupper plate 11 separated by a pair ofpartitions 12. In other words, in the disclosed embodiment,channel 9 is formed by the whole area between the twoplates openings 6 separated by one of thepartitions 12. - On the
upper portion 13 of the shapedbody 2 there is also a setting 14 for holding precious stones or the like. - These last details of the box-shaped
body 2 must not be considered as limiting for the invention anyway. In particular, the openings and the channel can be obtained from a solid or with other processes then the superposition of two plates separated by partitions. Moreover, even when using plates, also the number of partitions must not be considered as a limiting feature of the present invention. - Also the presence of the setting must not be considered as a limiting feature of the invention. As a matter of fact, according to different embodiments of the invention, the upper portion of the shaped body can be associated with further embellishment elements by means of adhesives, welding or precision castings. According to other embodiments of the invention, further embellishment elements are absent and the upper portion of the shaped body, perhaps decorated with incisions or the like, is left exposed.
- According to a further aspect of the invention, the
modular element 1 also comprises a pair ofjaws 15 connected to thehead end 3 and shaped to be inserted in theinner channel 9 each through arespective opening 6. In particular, they have a shape such as to embrace thepartition 12 at thetail end 4 when their free ends 16 are pushed against one another. In this way, the concatenation of two subsequentmodular elements 1 is obtained. - Advantageously, therefore, the
modular element 1 can be made without the use of specific machines and, for example, with the lost wax microcasting technology. As a matter of fact, it does not need to be obtained by cutting subsequently folded plates. This means a significant saving in terms of production costs and also enables to make limited sampling. - The concatenation, moreover, is simple since pushing the
jaws 15 against each other is sufficient to obtain it, thereby making sure the result is obtained regardless of the operator's capabilities. - Previously it has been stated that is in any case important to protect the shaped
body 2 from possible damage during the concatenation of themodular elements 1. For this purpose, thejaws 15 are shaped so as to emerge from the plan projection of the shapedbody 2lateral surface 8 at least initially. - Advantageously, therefore, it is possible to push a
jaw 15 towards the other with manual tools assistance such as grippers or the like acting from outside the shapedbody 2 without involving it. - According to the disclosed embodiment, the two
jaws 15 are substantially L-shaped, but also such detail must not be considered as limiting of the invention. Moreover, the two jaws can have any shape, even different from one another. The protrusion of both of them from the plan lateral surface of the shaped body is also not a limitative feature of the invention. As a matter of fact, the important aspect is that at least in the initial state, that is at least before closure, one protrudes so as to allow it to be pushed towards the other acting from outside the shaped body and without damaging it. As a result, the second jaw could also be straight. - In
fig. 3 a concatenation is observed between a plurality ofmodular elements 1 before the closure of thejaws 15 which, as can be seen, protrude from the concatenation profile. - By acting on each pair of
jaws 15 by means of grippers or the like, they are pushed against each other, closing the concatenation obtaining the result that can be seen infig. 4 . - In
fig. 5 it is observed that even after such operation thejaws 15 still project from the shapedbodies 2 plan projection. Such detail, although is not to be considered as limiting of the invention, is advantageous since the integrity of the shapedbody 2 is ensured even at the closure of thejaws 15. At the end of the concatenation remove the remaining projection will be sufficient to obtain a perfect result. - Still with reference to the
jaws 15, in the figures it is observed that they are stably coupled to thepartition 12 at thehead end 3 as well as at the twoplates - According to another aspect of the invention,
portions 20 of the free ends 16 of thejaws 15 have a rounded outer surface. In particular, in the embodiment that is described, the base portion of the L. is rounded. Since the concatenation of themodular elements 1 should be laterally rigid, but longitudinally well flexible in order to use it in particular for bracelets and necklaces, the rounded shape of the L base allows to minimize the friction between subsequentmodular elements 1 when flexed with respect to each other in the longitudinal direction of the concatenation. - In light of the foregoing, it is understood that the modular element of the invention achieves the intended purposes.
- In particular, it allows the manual making of the concatenation, with subsequent welding, for example by laser, flame or pulses, and its making by means of the lost wax microcasting technique.
- It is also moulded in such a way that the concatenation between elements made manually allows to obtain a uniform chain in any case regardless of the capacity of the user who makes it at the same time preserving the aesthetic quality of the modular elements themselves.
- In particular, the aesthetic quality of the chain obtained with the modular element of the invention is comparable to that of equivalent chains obtained by means of machining, but at the same time the costs are lower.
- The invention might be subject to many changes and variants, which are all included in the appended claims. Moreover, all the details may furthermore be replaced by other technically equivalent elements, and the materials may be different depending on the needs, without departing from the protection scope of the invention defined by the appended claims.
