DESCRIZIONE del Modello Industriale di Utilità dal titolo "Monile, quale struttura anulare , in particolare anello. bracciale orecchino , a PIÙ element i anulari DESCRIPTION of the Industrial Utility Model entitled "Jewelery, as an annular structure, in particular a ring. Bracelet earring, with MORE annular elements

TESTO DELLA DESCRIZIONE TEXT OF THE DESCRIPTION

Il presente trovato si riferisce ad oggetti di gioielleria, oreficeria bigiotteria e simili, quali strutture anulari, in particolare anelli, braccali ed orecchini The present invention relates to objects of jewelery, gold jewelery, costume jewelery and the like, such as annular structures, in particular rings, bracelets and earrings

E’ noto che nel campo dei monili la ricerca di soluzjoni originali atte ad ottenere caratteristiche di richiamo è una necessità It is known that in the field of jewelry, the search for original solutions to obtain attractive characteristics is a necessity

Uno scopo del trouato è quello di consentire in un oggetto, in special modo di gioielleria, oreficeria, bigiotteria e sìmili di ottenere inusuali pregevoli effetti estetici, a seguito della configurazione "aperta" dell’oggetto , allorché viene ad esempio calzato al dito nel caso di anello, o al braccio nel caso di bracciale ottenendo un effetto di più elementi anulari distinti calzati in uno stesso dito o braccio dall ' utente, ma in realtà facenti parte di un ’ unica struttura anulare Tali effetti vengono ulteriormente ed esaltati se tra gli elementi anulari One purpose of the trouato is to allow an object, especially jewelry, goldsmiths, costume jewelery and the like, to obtain unusual valuable aesthetic effects, following the "open" configuration of the object, when it is, for example, fitted to the finger in the case ring, or to the arm in the case of a bracelet, obtaining an effect of several distinct annular elements worn on the same finger or arm by the user, but in reality forming part of a single annular structure. ring fingers

costitutivi si interpongono o si collegano poi parti decorative intermedie quali, ad esempio, catenelle constitutive interpose or then connect intermediate decorative parts such as, for example, chains

trasve rsali collegabili e tese tra gli elementi anulari costitutivi allor chè sono nella configurazione divaricata, ottenendo nuovi apprezzabili effetti estetici ed ornamentali dell’oggetto nel suo insieme transverse connectable and stretched between the constituent annular elements when they are in the spread configuration, obtaining new appreciable aesthetic and ornamental effects of the object as a whole

Un altro scopo è anche quello di consentire vantaggi pratici, a seguito della configurazione "aperta" dell’oggetto , in quanto, ad esempio nel caso di anello calzato al dito, si permette con un unico oggetto riadattarsi alle varie misure del dito entro certi ragionevoli intervalli di variabilità delle misure senza dover calzare differenti anelli di diverse misure Another object is also to allow practical advantages, following the "open" configuration of the object, since, for example in the case of a ring fitted to the finger, it is possible with a single object to readjust to the various measures of the finger within certain reasonable limits. variability ranges of sizes without having to wear different rings of different sizes

Un altro scopo ancora è quello di costituire una soluzione semplice, affidabile, vantaggiosa e comoda, sia come realizzazione e come impiego Yet another object is to provide a simple, reliable, advantageous and convenient solution, both in terms of construction and use

Questi SCOPI vengono ottenuti dal trovato prevedendo un monile, quale struttura anulare, in particolare anello, bracciale, orecchino, caratterizzato dal fatto di comprendere due o più elementi anulari costitutivi, collegati mobili e girevoli lungo un lato, in cui almeno un elemento anulare è montato sollecitato da forza di richiamo elastico, in maniera da essere obbligati ad un movimento di apertura "a valve" allontinandosi gli elementi .anulari l ’ uno dall’altre ruotando per un determinato, valore angolare, assumendo una configurazione aperta oppure obbligati, detti elementi anulari, ad un movimento di chiusura avvicinandosi uno verso l'altro, coassialmente all'asse di calzamento detti movimenti di apertura e di chiusura in relazione al tipo di forma elastica dei mezzi atti ad assoggettare preventivamente gli elementi anulari costitutivi in fase di montaggio These PURPOSES are achieved by the invention by providing a jewel, as an annular structure, in particular a ring, bracelet, earring, characterized in that it comprises two or more constitutive annular elements, connected, movable and rotatable along one side, in which at least one annular element is mounted stressed by an elastic return force, so as to be forced to a "valve" opening movement by continuing the annular elements one from the other by rotating for a determined angular value, assuming an open configuration or forced, said annular elements , to a closing movement approaching one towards the other, coaxially to the axis of fitting said opening and closing movements in relation to the type of elastic shape of the means adapted to subject in advance the annular constituent elements during the assembly phase

Queste ed altre caratteristiche del trovato ed i vantaggi che ne derivano appariranno meglio evidenti dalla seguente dettagliata descrizione di alcuni esempi esecutivi non limitativi, illustrati con riferimento alle allegate tavole di disegni, in cui These and other characteristics of the invention and the resulting advantages will become clearer from the following detailed description of some non-limiting executive examples, illustrated with reference to the attached drawings, in which

secondo il trovato, quale bracci al presentante i due elementi anulari costitutivi collegati da parte intermedia con funzione ornamentale, quali catenelle trasversali according to the invention, as arms to the two constituent annular elements connected by an intermediate part with an ornamental function, such as transverse chains

la fig illustra in vista latarale, una struttura secondo il trovato, quale ad esempio anello, predisposta per configurazione chiusa e 'vantaggiosamente utilizzata per ammorsare tra i due elementi anulari costitutivi una parte ornamentale intermedia, quale pietra ornamentale Fig is a side view of a structure according to the invention, such as for example a ring, arranged for a closed configuration and advantageously used to clamp an intermediate ornamental part, such as an ornamental stone, between the two constituent annular elements

l a f i g.5 è una vista prospet t i ca di una struttu ra; secondo il trovato predisposta per essere utilizzata anche come orecchino f i g.5 is a perspective view of a structure; according to the invention, designed to be used also as an earring

Con riferimento alle figure e dapprima alle figg da 1 a 4 l’esempio esecutivo considerato comprende due elementi anulari cositutivi, rispettivamente 10 e 11 destinati ad essere incernierati tra loro With reference to the figures and firstly to figs 1 to 4, the executive example considered includes two constituent annular elements, 10 and 11 respectively, intended to be hinged together

per l’esempio illustrato l'elemento 10 presenta due eppendici laterali cilindriche 101 e 102 con fori passanti allineati assialmente tra loro, dette appendici che lasciano sussistere degli interspazi 103 e 104 destinati ad essere occupati in modo complementare, da rispettive appendici cilindriche 112 e 114 previste lateralmente nell’altro elemento anulare 11 presentante interspazi 111 e 112 atti ad accogliere invece in modo complementare rispettivamente le dette appendici 101 e 102 dell'elemento anulare 10, in maniera che ad accoppiamento avvenuto di dette appendici e relativi interspazi i fori passanti delle appendici restino allineati assialmente per determinare un’unica sede atta a consentire il passaggio di un perno di incernieramento 12 In particolare nell'esempio esecutivo illustrato gli interspazi 104 e 111 terminano con superficie concava atte ad accoppiarsi concordemente con le rispettive appendici cilindriche 114 e 101 for the example illustrated, the element 10 has two lateral cylindrical appendages 101 and 102 with through holes axially aligned with each other, said appendages which leave the interspaces 103 and 104 to be occupied in a complementary way, by respective cylindrical appendages 112 and 114 provided laterally in the other annular element 11 having interspaces 111 and 112 suitable for accommodating in a complementary manner respectively the said appendages 101 and 102 of the annular element 10, so that once the coupling of said appendages and relative interspaces has occurred, the through holes of the appendages remain axially aligned to determine a single seat suitable for allowing the passage of a hinging pin 12 In particular, in the illustrated executive example, the interspaces 104 and 111 end with a concave surface suitable for coupling together with the respective cylindrical appendages 114 and 101

il perno di incernieraemnto 12 è costituito da qualsivoglia adatto materiale deformabile elasticamente, ad esempio consistente in barretta o perno in metallo, in grado di sopportare sollecitazioni di torsione e restituire poi l’energia elastica immagazzinata, a guisa di molla the hinging pin 12 is made of any suitable elastically deformable material, for example consisting of a metal bar or pin, capable of withstanding torsional stresses and then returning the stored elastic energy, like a spring

Detto perno 12 ( figa 3 e 4 ) è montato fissato ad un’estremit à solidale in all ’appendice estremale 101 dell’elemento anulare 10 mentre l’opposta estremità di esso è fissata solidale in B alla contraoposta appendice estremale 114 dell'altro elemento anulare 11 dopo aver preventivamente assoggettato a torsione il detto perno 12 a seconda del senso orano T (fig 31 o antiorario T’(fig 4) della preventiva sollecitazione di torsione impressa al perno 12 durante il montaggio, si determina conseguentemente un movimento rotatorio di apertura (fig 31 oppure di chiusura ffig 4) degli elementi anulari 10 e 11, obbligandoli cioè ad allontanarsi oppure ad avvicinarsi tra loro Said pin 12 (fig. 3 and 4) is mounted fixed to an end integral in the extremal appendix 101 of the annular element 10 while the opposite end of it is fixed integrally in B to the opposite extremal appendix 114 of the other element ring 11 after having previously subjected said pin 12 to torsion according to the direction of the oran T (fig 31 or counterclockwise T '(fig 4) of the preventive torsional stress imparted to the pin 12 during assembly, a rotary opening movement is consequently determined (fig 31 or closing ffig 4) of the annular elements 10 and 11, thus forcing them to move away or to approach each other

Allorché gli elementi anulari 10 e 11 sono previsti allontanabili tra loro ruotano per un idoneo valore angolare per assumere una configurezione di massima apertura (fig 5), tale da consentire ancora il calzamento negli elementi anulari, ad esempio del dito , in caso di anello (fig 6 ) , con i detti due elemti anulari 10 e 11 divaricati convergenti verso il basso In tal caso, la configurazione aperta della struttura e in particolare l’aspetto obliquo divaricato degli elenti anulari 10 e 11 consente un posizionemento sul dito che permette di meglio adattarsi alle varie mis ure del dito entro detti intervalli ragionevoli di variabilità delle misure, senza dover calzare anelli di di f ferenti misure When the annular elements 10 and 11 are provided that can be removed from each other, they rotate for a suitable angular value to assume a configuration of maximum opening (fig 5), such as to still allow the fitting in the annular elements, for example of the finger, in the case of a ring ( fig 6), with said two annular elements 10 and 11 spread apart converging downwards.In this case, the open configuration of the structure and in particular the oblique separated aspect of the annular elements 10 and 11 allows a position on the finger which allows better adapt to the various finger sizes within said reasonable ranges of size variability, without having to wear rings of different sizes

Secondo un'altra peculiare caratteristica del trovato, tra gli elementi anulari 10 e 11 possono essere vantaggiosamente previste interposte e collegate parti intermedie con funzione prevalentemente estetica o ornamentale,di qualsivoglia foggia e configurazione come illustrato negli esempi esecutivi delle figg 7 e 8 e previste eventuialmente amovibili According to another peculiar characteristic of the invention, between the annular elements 10 and 11 intermediate parts with a predominantly aesthetic or ornamental function, of any shape and configuration, can be advantageously provided between the annular elements 10 and 11 and possibly provided removable

In fig 7 è illustrato infatti un bracciale (ma potrebbe anche riferirsi ad anello). presentante gli elementi anulari 10 e 11 predisposti ad un movimento di apertura cioè obbligati ad allontanarsi tra loro per un determinato valore angolare i quali sono collegati da più tratti trasversali di catenelle 13 di lunghezze differenziate m relazione alla distanza intercorrente in quel determinato punto di collegamento trasversale tra i due elementi anulari 10 e 11 restando così, tali tratti di catenelle, tesi per effetto della divaricazione a configurazione aperta degli elementi anulari stessi In fact, fig 7 shows a bracelet (but it could also refer to a ring). having the annular elements 10 and 11 predisposed to an opening movement that is forced to move away from each other for a determined angular value which are connected by several transversal sections of chains 13 of different lengths m in relation to the distance in that certain transversal connection point between the two annular elements 10 and 11 thus remaining, these sections of chains, stretched by the effect of the open configuration spreading of the annular elements themselves

In fig 3 è illustrato invece un bracciale, presentante gli elementi anulari 10 e 11 predisposti ad un movimento di chiusura, cioè obbligati ad avvicinarsi l’uno verso l’altro, con interposta una parte intermedia ornamentale consistente in pietra ornamente 0 con relativa struttura di ancoraggio 210 applicata, eventualmente amovibile solidale in 0 ad esempio all'elemento anulare 10, restando così la parte ornamentale intermedia ammorsata tra i due elementi anulari 10 e 11 per effetto della forza che li obbliga ad avvicinarsi l’uno verso l’alto In fig 3, on the other hand, a bracelet is shown, presenting the annular elements 10 and 11 predisposed to a closing movement, i.e. forced to approach one another, with an intermediate ornamental part consisting of ornate stone 0 with relative structure of anchor 210 applied, possibly removable integral in 0 for example to the annular element 10, thus remaining the intermediate ornamental part clamped between the two annular elements 10 and 11 due to the force that forces them to move towards each other upwards

In fig 9 e illustrata una struttura secondo il trovato presentante l’elemento 10 assoggettato ad uria forza che lo obbliga tale esempio, ad un movimento di chiusura. Detto elemento 10 è collegato all'altro elemento costitutivo 11 tramite un tratto di un suo prolungamento inferiore 115 che va a congiungersi in Prossimità dell'asse di rotazione e d’ιncernieramento fungendo così da distanziale tra i due elementi anulari 10 e 11, in maniera da poter utilizzare la struttura cosi ottenuta, per l’esempio esecutivo illustrato, come anello oppure In fig 9 there is shown a structure according to the invention presenting the element 10 subjected to a force which forces this example, to a closing movement. Said element 10 is connected to the other constituent element 11 by means of a section of one of its lower extension 115 which joins in proximity of the rotation and hinging axis thus acting as a spacer between the two annular elements 10 and 11, in a manner to be able to use the structure thus obtained, for the illustrated embodiment, as a ring or

come orecchio potendo in tal caso il lobo auricolare restare ammorsato tra i due elementi 10 e 11, senza ulteriori organi di ancoraggio as ear, being able in this case the ear lobe to remain clamped between the two elements 10 and 11, without further anchoring organs

Gli elementi anulari costitutivi potranno essere previsti m qualsivoglia foggia dimensioni a seoonda delle esigenze d'impiego (anello, bracciale orecchino), conformazione andamento della profilatura esterna, con o senza finiture, decorazioni motivi superficiali estetici o ornamentali di qualsivoglia genere, che potranno essere uguali o almenoin parte diversi in uno stesso oggetto Così pure gli elementi anulari costituivi potranno essere obbligati al movimento di apertura, allontanandosi tra loro per un determinato valore angolare, oppure obligatii ad un movimento di chiusura, avvicinandosi l’uno v'erse l’altro, tramile qualsivoglia adatti mezzi a tale scopo , ad esempio, con autonome molle di differenti tipologie per ciascun elemento anulare, o altro ancora donei mezzi. The constituent annular elements can be provided in any shape and size according to the needs of use (ring, bracelet, earring), shape of the external profiling, with or without finishes, decorations, aesthetic or ornamental surface motifs of any kind, which may be the same or at least partially different in the same object So also the constituent annular elements may be forced to the opening movement, moving away from each other for a determined angular value, or obliged to a closing movement, approaching one towards the other, by means of any suitable means for this purpose, for example, with independent springs of different types for each annular element, or still other means.

Il trovato non è pertanto limitato agli esempi esecutivi testé descritti ed illustrati ma comprende anche i modelli che conseguono pari utilità utilizzando lo stesso concetto innovativo The invention is therefore not limited to the executive examples just described and illustrated but also includes models which achieve equal utility using the same innovative concept

da quanto precedentemente esposto, appare evidente perciò che il trovato potrà essere variato e modificato, soprattutto costruttivamente, nel suo complesso e nei singoli particolari, a seconda delle specifiche esigenze e convenienze di fabbricazione e d'impiego, nell’ambito degli equivalenti tecnici e funzionali senza per questo abbindorare il concetto innovativo sopra esposto ed a seguito rivendicato from the foregoing, it is therefore evident that the invention may be varied and modified, above all constructively, as a whole and in individual details, according to the specific needs and convenience of manufacture and use, within the scope of the technical and functional equivalents without for this abandoning the innovative concept described above and claimed hereinafter
