Description

BRACELET WITH INTERCHANGEABLE ACCESSORY TYPE CLOSURE

DESCRIPTION

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is part of the technical field of fashion accessories, and more specifically of costume jewelery. A bracelet with interchangeable accessory is described that allows the user to modify the appearance of the bracelet according to their tastes or their desire at any time. Also, the diameter of the bracelet can be modified so that users with different wrist sizes can use it. The interchangeable accessory itself acts as a closure.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently the fashion industry is focusing on the design of new pieces of clothing and accessories that allow the user to customize the objects acquired.

Personalization is known, for example, by placing the initials of the users, especially in suitcase-type travel garments, or in bags or similar accessories.

It is also well known to personalize jewelry by engraving the name of the person. This is done for example in collars in which the name of the user or a person wanted by the user is put. It is also known to engrave dates that may be important, such as the date of a birth, a first communion or a wedding, in rings, pendants, etc.

On the other hand, in the clothing sector the use of patches or pins is very widespread so that each user gives a differentiating touch to the garments that he acquires.

The problem is that in most cases, customizations to clothing or accessories are made at the time of acquisition or at later times, but are no longer reversible. That is, most personalization options can not be changed depending on what the user wants at any time.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention proposes a bracelet with interchangeable accessory type closure that has as its main advantage that allows the personalization of the bracelet at any time according to the wishes of the user. For this the bracelet comprises a main body and comprises an accessory that is removable. Said accessory is also the own closure of the bracelet, that is, until the main body and the interchangeable accessory are joined, the bracelet is not complete.

Another advantage provided by the bracelet of the present invention is that its perimeter can be adapted to the size of the wrist of each user. This allows the same bracelet to be used by several users, regardless of whether they are men or women or even children. In addition, depending on the user that will wear the bracelet at any time, you can select the accessory that best suits your personality or your preferences at all times.

The proposed interchangeable accessory-type clasp bracelet comprises a main body having tape configuration and which is arranged around the wrist of the user. This main body has a length such that it gives more than one turn around the wrist. The bracelet also comprises the interchangeable accessory, which is configured to join the ends of the main body. Said accessory also has tape configuration, and may be of the same material as the main body or of another different material. Also, the accessory and the main body can have the same or different color and design.

The main body comprises, at each end, a latching element having at least one slot so that the end of the strap that is not connected to said latching element passes through the slot. Subsequently, to put on the bracelet, the user only has to move the main body through the slots to lengthen or decrease the perimeter around the wrist of the user. When the appropriate measurement has already been selected, the user places the accessory attached to the main body.

To attach the accessory, removably, to the main body, it comprises complementary coupling elements. The coupling elements and the complementary coupling elements have a combination of through hole, joint surface and recesses that allow their union in a simple way. In addition, the user can withdraw them at any time of their choice.

The accessory of the bracelet can, in addition to vary in color and form as previously described with respect to the main body, have decorative elements. These decorative elements can be drawings or they can be elements such as small jewels or ornaments, which can be fixed or move along the accessory.

This wide variety of designs that can be adapted to the accessory allows the user to adapt the appearance of the bracelet at any time to their wishes. Furthermore, the fact that the main body of the bracelet does not have a fixed closing element, but comprises the slots of the hooking elements, allows the user to adapt the size of the bracelet by changing the size of the accessory. In this way, the versatility of the wristband that can be used by users with different wrist sizes is greatly increased.
