Description

  The present invention relates to an accessory such as a ring, a bracelet, or a pendant head, and in particular, a novel shape in which a decorative shape such as a heart shape, a geometric shape, or a shape motif of an animal is visually recognized when viewed from a specific direction. Related to jewelry.

  Various accessories such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, tie pins, cufflinks, etc. have been provided as accessories, and these approximate shapes and decorative parts depending on the wearing method and wearing part. Has been identified. For example, since a ring, a bracelet or the like is used by being attached to a finger, an arm or the like, it is naturally necessary to form a shape for that purpose, that is, a hollow substantially cylindrical shape or a ring body shape. In addition, since these accessories are used (weared) for the purpose of decoration, the decorative part is also applied to a part that stands out when worn (for example, a part located on the back of the hand in the case of a ring). It is common. For rings, in particular, fashion rings with the ring itself designed are also provided, but even in this case, the design applied to the ring is still sufficient for use, with the state in use (when worn) in mind. It is designed to show a decorative effect. This is of course natural because the accessory itself is used as a decoration that is inherently worn.

On the other hand, there are many accessories that are used as souvenirs for birthdays and other anniversaries, or items of vows such as wedding rings and engagement rings (Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-115). No. 164714). Among the accessories used for such purposes, there are also items worn by men, such as wedding rings and tie pins.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-164714

  As with the previous wedding rings, most of the accessories used for souvenirs or vows are commonly used by the opposite sex and as a result are worn by men. There are many things. And since it is something that men also wear, it is true that there are many very simple ones, although some design has been applied.

  At the same time, considering wedding rings in particular, these wedding rings are worn as a proof of living together and building a happy family together. It is desirable that the design expresses the oath. With regard to this point, in the past, a design common to men and women has been used, and on the inner peripheral surface of an annular body such as a ring, a display part such as a memorial date, name, initial, etc. has been engraved. Not too much. On the other hand, wedding rings and the like are worn by men, and are worn even after retirement, so too flashy designs lack practicality.

  Therefore, in the present invention, the vows and feelings of both are expressed to the extent that the wearers can fully satisfy each other, and when always wearing, the design expressing such vows is observed. Therefore, it is an object to provide an accessory that can be worn by men and elderly people without worrying about it.

  As an accessory to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a shape that expresses the oath is used, such as a shape that expresses the oath of both of them as a part that is not visually recognized as a unit during use (when worn). Providing accessories that are difficult to recognize by force.

  More specifically, the accessory according to the present invention is an accessory provided with a decorative portion whose overall shape is formed in a generally cylindrical shape or an annular shape, and at least one end of the decorative portion is in a viewing direction. Thus, a specific decorative shape is formed as a decorative end portion that is visually recognized.

  As such an accessory, it is necessary to have at least a tubular (preferably hollow cylindrical) or annular decorative part, and the decorative part is placed on a pendant head or a ring base. Even if it constitutes a part of an accessory such as decoration (as a substitute for jewelry), or it constitutes an accessory itself such as an arm of a ring (ring part) or a bracelet. May be. In particular, when the accessory is composed of a decorative part (such as a ring or a bracelet), it is naturally possible to accompany another structure (such as a further jewel or structure).

  Since this decorative portion is formed in a cylindrical shape (preferably a hollow cylindrical shape) or in an annular shape, there are ends on both sides in the axial direction, but at least one of the end portions has a certain one. It needs to be formed as a decorative end formed in a shape in which a specific decorative shape is visually recognized when viewed from the direction. That is, in the accessory according to the present invention, the decorative end portion is designed so that a shape that symbolizes the user's intention / decision, enthusiasm, oath, and a commemorative event appears depending on the viewing direction of the viewer. Thus, the problem is solved.

  This means that, in particular, when the accessory is a ring or a bracelet and the arm (ring) of the ring or the bracelet main body is formed as a decorative portion in the present invention, the decorative end portion is a ring (bracelet). This corresponds to the side surface (end in the axial direction). The thus formed ring (bracelet) is a ring (bracelet) that always forms a specific shape on the side that is not decorated, and this is a novel thing that has not been provided in the past. Become. Moreover, the ring (bracelet) formed in this way is not used at the first glance due to the presence of the finger (wrist) at the time of use (wearing). Since the shape is not visually recognized by a third party, a ring that can be worn without feeling shame even by a woman or a man or an elderly person is provided.

  The decorative end portion where such a specific shape appears can be formed in, for example, a line-symmetric shape. More specifically, it can be formed in a shape in which a region existing in the diameter direction is inclined and recessed or protruded. In addition, the decorative end portion is not only formed in a line symmetrical shape such as a heart shape, a rhombus shape, a clover shape, a star shape, an elliptical shape when viewed from a specific direction, but also in an animal or plant. It can also be formed in a shape that can be visually recognized by the viewer as a shape that is reproduced in whole or in part.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the decoration part is a combination of two of the decoration parts, and any of the end faces of each decoration part has an end face portion intersecting with any diametrical direction, It is formed as a decorative end portion which is inclined or recessed or protrudes, and the two decorative portions are oriented in the direction perpendicular to the diameter direction, and each decorative end portion is an axial end surface of the accessory. There is provided an accessory characterized in that it is combined so as to form.

  That is, it is an accessory that combines the decorative portions in an opposing state and has decorative end portions in both end directions. And in this accessory, since a hollow and protrusion balance at both ends and the whole balance is maintained, it becomes an accessory (especially a ring, a bracelet, or a pendant head) which can be worn without a sense of incongruity.

  The technical idea of the present invention will be specifically described below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. However, as a matter of course, the embodiment described below is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the technical idea of the present invention.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an embodiment embodied as a ring-shaped accessory such as a ring or a bracelet. FIG. 1 (A) is a front view, FIG. 1 (B) is a plan view, and FIG. 1 (C) is a right side view. (D) is a perspective view, (E) is a bottom view, (F) is a left side view, and (G) is a rear view.

  A ring-shaped accessory (such as a ring or a bracelet) shown in this figure has a structure in which two decorative parts 11 formed in a hollow cylindrical body are combined, and exists in the diameter direction of the end face 12 in each decorative part. The region portion S is recessed in an inclined shape (or curved shape), and constitutes a decorative end portion 12 as the entire end surface. Such a region portion S is present in a portion that is relatively wrinkled on the end face of the decorative portion.

  The ornamental end 12 formed in this way is recognized as a ring that does not recall any particular concept when viewed from the plane (FIG. 1B), while it is depressed. When viewed from the perspective direction on the extension line between the parts (FIG. 1D), the heart shape is recognized. That is, the decorative end portion 12 is formed so that a specific decorative shape (in this case, a heart shape) can be visually recognized depending on the viewing direction of the viewer.

  In particular, the decorative end portion 12 is formed so that a specific shape can be seen when viewed from a perspective direction on a straight line L (straight line extending in the diameter direction) connecting the recessed portions. In this case, it is desirable that the decorative end portion is formed in a line symmetrical shape with the straight line L as an axis.

  Further, in the case of forming the accessory 10 having a shape such as a combination of two decorative parts, as shown in FIG. 1, the decorative end 12 is in the direction constituting the end surface of the accessory 10, and It is desirable that the straight lines L connecting the recessed portions in the decorative portions 11 are combined in a direction in which they are orthogonal. When the straight lines L cross each other, the depressions in the decorative portions (end portions for decoration) appear alternately in the vertical direction at 90 ° intervals. This is because stability can be eliminated, and even if it rotates when worn, the decorative effect can be maintained.

  In addition, in such an accessory, in addition to forming the decorative end portion 12 in a color different from that of the other peripheral surface 13, it is possible to improve visibility by appropriately arranging a jewel or the like. In particular, when the decorative end portion 12 is formed in a color different from that of the peripheral surface 13, the surface constituting the end portion (end surface) and the other peripheral surface are formed of metals having different colors. You can also.

  Further, particularly when the jewelry 10 thus formed is a wedding ring or the like, the inner peripheral surface of the accessory 10 is a position where the decorative end portion can be viewed from the direction in which a specific shape (such as a heart shape) is visually recognized. It is also desirable to engrave the anniversary date and message, or name and initials.

  The accessory 10 formed in this way is attached to a finger, wrist, etc. in a normal wearing state, and the entire shape of the decorative end portion 12 is not observed, so a specific shape such as a heart shape is used. Shapes that express their feelings and feelings are not recognized by third parties, and therefore can be used without any embarrassment by men or the elderly. On the other hand, since each user can clearly incorporate emotions, feelings, or oaths into the accessory as shapes, sufficient satisfaction can be obtained.

  In particular, since the accessory according to the present invention has at least the decorative end portion 12 to obtain the above-described effect, in addition to the embodiment shown in FIG. The accessory 20 can be used. In particular, the accessory 20 shown in FIG. 2 is an accessory that can be used for a ring, a bracelet, or the like as shown in FIG. 1. The ornamental end 22 is an essential component regardless of the overall shape. The accessory provided as is shown. 2A is a front view, FIG. 2B is a plan view, FIG. 2C is a right side view, and FIG. 2D is a perspective view.

  When the jewelry (rings, bracelets, etc.) shown in FIG. 2 is specifically implemented, ornaments made of jewels, pearls, or other precious metals are arranged on the front surface 24 and side surface 25 in accordance with conventional methods. They can be integrated or various decorations can be applied to the outer peripheral surface by etching or other methods.

  Further, as to the shape of the decorative end portion 22, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, it is possible to project a region that was depressed in FIG. In this way, in the decorative end portion 22 in which the diametrically opposed regions are projected, when viewed from the oblique information in the diametrical direction, a reverse heart shape is observed, which is the decorative portion. In combination with figure 36 (especially triangle etc.) installed on the side of 31 (same as accessory 30 in this figure), it can represent a shape like roughly spade (see perspective view in FIG. 3D) . In addition, when the outer peripheral surface is also designed as shown in FIG. 3, this design can sufficiently enhance the decorative effect even during normal use (see the front view of FIG. 3A). ), A more desirable accessory. FIG. 3B shows a plan view of the accessory (such as a ring and a bracelet), and FIG. 3C shows a side view.

  FIG. 4 shows an accessory 40 (a ring or a bracelet) configured by using the decorative portion 11 shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, (A) shows a state in which a decorative object 47 such as a jewel is arranged on a decorative part 41 (base part) provided on a ring-shaped accessory, and the accessory 40 manufactured as a result is shown. Is shown in FIG. In particular, in the accessory 40 that uses the decorative portion 41 as a base portion as shown in this figure, the decorative object 47 (jewels and the like) installed on the base portion 41 has a decorative end portion 42 from a specific direction. In this embodiment, in the diametrical direction according to the shape of the decorative end portion 42 in the decorative portion 41 (base portion). A hollow jewel is placed.

  In the accessory 40 (ring or bracelet) formed in this way, a heart shape appears when viewed from obliquely above the front or back (FIG. 4B), while on the other hand, as shown in FIG. When viewed from the plane (upper surface) direction, it can exhibit a shape that is not much different from a normal ring, so it can be worn without revealing it while expressing specific emotions. Is realized.

  The accessory 40 that uses the decorative portion 41 as the base portion in this manner can be used sufficiently even in the state 40 ′ shown in FIG.

  Further, since the accessory 40 shown in FIG. 4 only needs to provide at least the decorative end portion 42 in the base portion 41 so as to be visible, the arm portion 58 in the case of the ring 50 as shown in FIG. The (ring) or the like can be formed into a suitable shape, and other designs can be freely applied to the arm portion 58 (ring).
