Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a closure device for gold, silver and costume jewellery items.
  • this type of closure provides for a ratchet operable by the user which, by acting on a spring, moves between an interference position with the gap defined between the tubular ends of the carabiner, corresponding to the closure configuration of the device in which the spring is discharged, and a position for inserting part of the ratchet inside one of the ends of the carabiner, corresponding to the opening configuration of the device in which the spring is compressed by the ratchet.
  • This device is extremely uncomfortable because it is operated with the fingerpad of the finger and is also often difficult to operate, due to the hardness of the spring and/or the shape of the ratchet.
  • the aim of the invention is to eliminate the drawbacks mentioned above in known types of closure device for gold, silver and costume jewellery items which is comfortable to use and easy to open and close.
  • one object of the invention is to make a closure device for gold, silver and costume jewellery items, which prevents any risk of accidental opening.
  • Another object of the invention is to give an alternative aesthetically appealing for the gold, silver and costume jewellery market.
  • another object of the invention is to make a closure device for gold, silver and costume jewellery items, by using readily commercially available means and commonly used materials, so that the device is economically competitive.
  • the box-shaped body, as well as the male element and the other components of the closure device may be of metal, plastic or any other material.
  • the box-shaped body has at least one portion shaped like a tubular element: in this way, in the closure position, the male element is adapted to be inserted, at least partially, inside a tubular element defined in the box-shaped body.
  • the engagement means comprise projections on the surface of an extreme portion of the male element, that is to say that portion intended to couple with the tubular element of the box-shaped body.
  • Such projections are adapted to be of engagement with guiding means defined on the surface of the box-shaped body.
  • the aforementioned extreme portion of the male element is cylindrical so that it can engage with the tubular element.
  • the upper portion of the male element i.e. the one that does not couple with the box-shaped body (and eventually remains uncovered in the embodiment wherein a part of the male element fits into the tubular element) can assume any shape that the aesthetic need and the capriciousness consider adequate.
  • Elastic means interposed between the male element and the box-shaped body are provided, such as for example a compression spring, for thrusting the male element along the developing direction, so as to disengage it from the box-shaped body itself.
  • the action of the spring of constant thrust towards the outside of the box-shaped body, is aimed at the actuation of the opening of the closure device: in fact, it only works in the closure position, when the male element compresses it.
  • the guiding means comprise a series of channels.
  • Each of these channels is sliding for at least one of the projections and has a final U-shaped part, similar to a fishing hook, and which ends with a locking edge for the respective projection which engages that channel.
  • Such a locking edge is in contrast with the thrusting action of the elastic means in the closure position.
  • the projections are spaced from each other with the same pitch that separates the inlet of each channel.
  • the projections are in a number comprised between 3 and 5, extremes included.
  • a lower number of projections would cause a dangerous (and anaesthetic) inclination of the male element on the developing direction of the box-shaped body, while an excessive number could cause an overlapping of the channels constituting the guiding means, making closure impossible.
  • a plunger arranged within the box-shaped body is provided and has an abutment thickness interposed between the male element and the elastic means.
  • the abutment thickness in the closure position, allows the male element to exert a uniform pressure on the elastic means and causes such pressure to be greater than the thrust that the elastic means exert on the male element itself. Since this abutment thickness remains in view when the closure device is in the opening position, it may possibly be decorated so as to make it aesthetically appreciable.
  • the plunger then has a retainer element in the opening position.
  • the retainer element prevents the plunger from completely coming out of the box-shaped body during the maximal extension of the elastic means.
  • the tubular element is provided with a passage hole for the plunger, defined on its bottom.
  • the box-shaped body comprises a cover, positioned on the opposite side of the engagement with said male element along the developing direction.
  • the inner part of the cover is advantageously cylindrical, the outside of the cover can assume any shape, similarly to what has been said for the upper portion of the male element.
  • This closure device 1 comprises a female box-shaped body 2 connected to a first end of a gold, silver and costume jewellery item by means of first hooking means 21.
  • the box-shaped body 2 has engagement means with a male element 3 in turn connected to a second end of the gold, silver and costume jewellery item, by means of second hooking means.
  • Such engagement means are adapted to mutually couple the male element 3 with the box-shaped body 2, so as to allow the mutual rotation of the box-shaped body 2 and of the male element 3 around the developing direction 10 of the box-shaped body 2, between a closure position ( fig. 4D ) and an opening position ( fig. 5D ) of the closure device 1.
  • the box-shaped body 2 has a portion shaped like a tubular element: in this way, in the closure position, the male element 3 is advantageously adapted to be inserted, at least partially, inside a tubular element 4 defined in the box-shaped body 2.
  • the engagement means comprise projections 13 on the surface of an extreme portion 3 'of the male element 3, which is cylindrical so that it can engage with said tubular element 4.
  • the projections 13 are three.
  • the projections 13 are adapted to be engaged with guiding channels 14 for the respective projection 13 which slides inside it ( figures 4B-4C and 5A-5C ).
  • the channels 14 are defined on the surface of the box-shaped body 2.
  • Each of the channels 14 has a final U-shaped part 14A and ending with a locking edge 14' for the projection 13 ( figure 2 ). This locking edge 14' is in contrast with the thrusting action of the elastic means 8 in closure position.
  • the projections 13 are spaced from each other with the same pitch that separates the opening 14"of each channel 14 ( fig. 2 ).
  • the elastic means consist of a compression spring 8 (fig. 3), which constantly pushes the male element 3 in the developing direction 10, so as to disengage it from the box-shaped body 2 ( figure 4A-4D ).
  • the box-shaped body 2 has a plunger 6 inside.
  • the plunger 6 has an abutment thickness 61 interposed between the male element 3 and the spring 8, so that, in the closure position of the device 1, the male element 3 exerts a pressure higher than the thrust of the spring 8. Moreover, the plunger 6 comprises a retainer element 62 for locking the plunger 6 itself to the box-shaped body 2 when the spring 8 has the maximal extension in the opening position.
  • the tubular element 4 has a passage hole 41 for the stem of the plunger 6 (fig. 3 and 4 ).
  • the box-shaped body 2 comprises a cover 5, arranged on the opposite side with respect to where the male element 3 engages with the body 2, along the developing direction 10.
  • the user to close the device 1, the user must first press the male element 3 on the spring 8 by means of the abutment thickness 61 and, once the projections 13 have engaged the respective channels 14, the user will rotate the male element 3 on the tubular element 4 around the direction 10 so that the projections 13 travel the final part 14A of the relative channel 14 until reaching the locking edge 14' (in this case the rotation will be carried out in a counter-clockwise direction).
  • the user To open the device ( figures 5A-5D ), the user must first release the projections 13 from the respective locking edges 14' by pressing the spring 8 and then rotating the male element from the opposite side (clockwise direction), i.e. in such a way that the projections 13 travel the final part 14A of the relative channel 14 in the opposite direction, then moving away from the locking edge 14' and moving towards the inlet 14"of the channel 14. Then, let the spring thrust the male element 3 disengaging it from the box-shaped body 2.
  • a closure device is made for gold, silver and costume jewellery items, which is easy to open and close and which is very comfortable to use, as it is sufficient to exert a light pressure on the spring with the male element and apply a slight rotation, screwing or unscrewing, both when opening and closing the device.
  • Another advantage of the invention is the fact that the technical limitations of this device are very limited and therefore it will be possible to produce a varied number of aesthetic variants, so as to allow the matching and compliance of the device on any type of jewel and in such a way as to make the closure device itself an aesthetically appreciable element of the jewel.
  • the use of readily commercially available means and the use of common materials makes the device competitive in terms of cost.
