Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • box-shaped elements concatenation in series is currently made in various ways.
  • the box-shaped elements are provided with a passing channel to insert them into a filament which creates the junction in series.
  • a passing channel to insert them into a filament which creates the junction in series.
  • 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.
  • the hourly machining cost is also high and is amortized by creating particularly long concatenations.
  • this does not allow machining for a few jewellery items.
  • such type of production is advantageously applicable only for a large number of jewellery items, not for samples or similar.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the obtained item has lower making costs than those of known equivalent items obtained by means of machining.
  • 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.
  • the shaped body comprises at least a pair of openings connected to a channel within the body itself which connects them.
  • the openings are spaced with a partition and created on the lateral surface of the shaped body at least at the tail end.
  • Each of the jaws is moulded to fit into a respective opening.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • At least one of the jaws typically, but not necessarily, protrudes from the aforesaid plan projection even when the free ends junction is done.
  • the contact between the tool and the shaped body is completely avoided.
  • 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.
  • closure type (two jaws that are tightened up to contact) advantageously guarantees a regular junction regardless of the capability of the user who assembles the chain.
  • the modular element can be made using the lost wax microcasting technique with further savings in production costs.
  • a modular element 1 for the production of chains such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings and the like.
  • Such modular element 1 is typically used to create chains of the so called “tennis” type.
  • the modular element 1 comprises a shaped body 2 in which a head end 3 and a tail end 4 can be identified which are moulded by stable coupling to further respective modular elements 1 so as to create a chain.
  • the two ends 3 and 4 of the shaped body 2 are moulded to directly allow a concatenation without additional elements.
  • 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.
