Abstract

Modular jewellery, consisting of a base element 1 and of one or more decorative elements 2 which can be instantly changed, making it possible to produce jewellery with an appearance and construction which differs according to choice, as well as jewellery with a closed circumference such as chokers, bracelets, etc., the assembly system being invisible. Each jewellery item consists of a base element 1 which, after being positioned on the body (neck, wrist etc.), receives one or more decorative elements 2 by engaging the female part of the element 2 on the male part of the element 1 and, after a slight rotation, will be locked with the aid of the pin 3 of 2 in position 6 and held in position by the spring 7. This method applies to all jewellery, whether rigid or non-rigid, made from ordinary or precious materials.

Description

La présente invention concerne des bijoux movulaires dont la particularité essentielle,est de permettre de réaliser des bijoux,tels que...colliers,bracelets,torques,bagues,etc...d'as pect et de constitution different, par l'utilisution d'élements amovibles interchangeables instantanément. The present invention relates to movable jewelry, the essential feature of which is to enable jewelry, such as ... necklaces, bracelets, torques, rings, etc., to be of different appearance and constitution, by use removable elements instantly interchangeable.

Chaque bijou est composé d'un élément porteur I ligure I nomme Nodule de base qui reçoit un ou plusieurs éléments déco ratif 2 figure 2 nommés nodules decoratifs, qui sont des reprod uctions d'animaux,d'initiales,de signes zodiacaux,de figurines de formes GazGéométriques diverses, etc...se fixant sur une ou pl usieurs parties du module de base I (par exemple,les deux extr émités d'un bracelet,tel que figure -3). Each piece of jewelry is made up of a carrier element I ligure I called the basic nodule which receives one or more decorative elements 2 figure 2 called decorative nodules, which are reprod uctions of animals, initials, zodiac signs, figurines of various GazGeometric shapes, etc ... attaching to one or more parts of the basic module I (for example, the two ends of a bracelet, as shown in Figure -3).

Ces bijoux modulaires sont obtenus en engageant la partie femelle du module décoratif 2 ceoisi,sur la partie maie du module de base I, l'axe 5 figure 2 est engagé dans l'encoche 4 figure 3, et apres légère rotation A.B en 5,il se positionne en 6 ou il est maintenu,vérouillé par le ressort 7. These modular jewels are obtained by engaging the female part of the decorative module 2 ceoisi, on the main part of the basic module I, the axis 5 in figure 2 is engaged in the notch 4 in figure 3, and after slight rotation AB in 5, it is positioned at 6 or it is maintained, locked by the spring 7.

Lorsque l'on veut réaliser un bijou à circonférence fer mée,on peut utiliser un module décoratif unique 12 qui reliera les deux extrémités du bijou tel que figure 4;1a possibilité d'emboitement sur le module de base I est obtenue par le fait que l'une des parties femelle du module décoratif I2 est suffi sament profonde de façon à permettre l'engagement de la partie femelle opposée sur le module de base;le meme résultat de bijo ux à circonférence fermée est obtenu par l'utilisation de deux modules décoratifs 2 au choix,qui une fois montés aux extrémit és du module de base I figure 3 ferment le bijou;;le premier de ces modules sera engagé sur la partie male de l'élément I jusqu'à ce que l'axe 3 se trouve en position d afin d'obtenir un espace suffisant entre l'extremité 9 du module 2 et la partie 10 du module I ce qui permettra d'engager le second module d6- coratif 2 sur le module I en IO et de le verouiller,le premier module 2 sera alors ramené l'axe 3 en position 5 et dérouillé en 6. When you want to make a jewel with a closed circumference, you can use a single decorative module 12 which will connect the two ends of the jewel as shown in Figure 4; the possibility of nesting on the basic module I is obtained by the fact that one of the female parts of the decorative module I2 is deep enough to allow the engagement of the opposite female part on the base module; the same result of bijo ux with closed circumference is obtained by the use of two modules decorative 2 of your choice, which once mounted at the ends of the basic module I Figure 3 close the jewel; the first of these modules will be engaged on the male part of the element I until the axis 3 is is in position d in order to obtain sufficient space between the end 9 of module 2 and the part 10 of module I, which will make it possible to engage the second decorative module 2 on module I in IO and to lock it, the first module 2 will then be brought back the axis 3 in position 5 and rusted out in 6.

L'invention permet aussi de réaliser des bijoux rigides tels que bracelets et torques notamment,sans etre obligé de les déformer ou de laisser un espace libre suffisant pour pouvoir les passer autour du poignét ou du cou, ceci étant obtenu en as semblant le ou les modules décoratifs seulement apres avoir enfilé le module de base autour du poignét ou du cou. The invention also makes it possible to produce rigid jewelry such as bracelets and torques in particular, without being obliged to deform them or to leave sufficient free space to be able to pass them around the wrist or the neck, this being obtained by appearing to be the decorative modules only after having threaded the basic module around the wrist or the neck.

Les bijoux réalisés par ce procédé ne presentent aucune différence d'aspect extérieur et de tenue qu'un même bijou réa lisé d'une seule påece,ceci par le fait que l'assemblage et la modularité des différents 18mentis et totalement invisible. The jewels produced by this process do not present any difference in external appearance and behavior than the same piece of jewelry made from a single piece, this by the fact that the assembly and the modularity of the different 18mentis are totally invisible.

Le système d'assemblage permet de bloquer instentanément dans une position déterminée le module décoratif,en fonction de l'aspect définitif recherché du bijou;cette position est in amovible involontairement ce qui est primordial tant du point de vue pratique questhetioue. The assembly system allows the decorative module to be blocked instantaneously in a determined position, depending on the desired final appearance of the jewel; this position is unintentionally removable, which is essential from the practical point of view questhetioue.

L'invention peut etre appliquée à des bijoux en matériau courant ou précieux,de même qu'il est possible de réaliser des bijoux utilisant des modules en métaux précieux avec des module en métaux courants;ce qui augmente la gamme des possibilités réalisables. The invention can be applied to jewelry made of common or precious material, just as it is possible to make jewelry using modules made of precious metals with modules made of common metals, which increases the range of possibilities achievable.
