Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a connecting device for a decorative tool that is configured like a bracelet or a necklace by connecting both end portions into a ring shape.

The bracelets and necklaces as described above have a structure in which an annular ring is provided at one end and a hook-shaped hook is provided at the other end, and a hook on the hook is hooked to the ring. In general, however, due to intense wrist movements and neck necklace turning movements, the latching part easily disengages, eventually losing the bracelet or necklace.

Therefore, as described above, the clasp of the annular accessory includes a main body portion and a retaining clasp. A spring that is a biasing means and a guide portion that is a guide means that guides the locking tool to the leaf spring member, and the locking tool has a bin shape, A locking groove is formed in the circumferential direction, and the leaf spring member has a curved surface between one end and the other end, and the engaging portion that elastically engages and disengages the locking groove of the locking tool on the curved surface. However, there is an invention that attempts to prevent easy detachment of both the main body portion and the locking tool by punching the leaf spring member and forming it in a window shape. (Refer to publicly known document 1)

In addition, a special spring, which is an alternative to the coil spring, is placed inside the engagement pushbutton provided on one of the above-mentioned latching members and accommodated with a fastener material on the back side of a fastener formed into a hollow shape. In addition to shortening the engagement / disengagement mechanism, the lower end of the engagement / disengagement push button abuts on the upper portion of the receiving member, so that the swinging movement of the locking portion is restricted, thereby preventing the separation of both. There is also an invention of the structure described above (refer to publicly known document 2). However, all of the structures are complicated, and it may be said that none of the structures can prevent the detachment of both latching members.

  Thus, an object of the present invention is a decorative device provided with male and female coupling members at both ends of a bracelet, a necklace, etc., and the coupling members are securely coupled to each other, and easy even with intense wrist and neck movements. Therefore, it is possible to provide a coupling member that can prevent the loss of itself such as a bracelet or a necklace without detaching the coupling portion.

  In general, the present invention provides a coupling device for jewelry that can be easily coupled even when the coupling operation of the male and female is difficult to see even in the dark or behind the neck, while being simple in structure and easily manufactured. It is.

  Thus, one of the features of the connecting device of the present invention jewelry is a decoration that has a male union member at one end and a female union member at the other end, and is connected to each other to form an annular bracelet or earring. In the main body, the male coupling member has a spring member having a tip having an acute-angle cross-section “V” shape.

  The female member is open on the male member side, and is provided with a rectangular parallelepiped outer shell member into which the distal end portion of the spring member can be inserted from the open portion, protruding from the outer surface of the outer member, and one end of the female member. That is, the spring member is provided with a string-like object having the other end fixed in the open portion of the outer cover member.

  In addition, as another feature of the connecting device for the decorative tool of the present invention, the above-mentioned string object is made of an elastic material such as rubber or a metal spring.

  Furthermore, another feature of the present invention is that a rotating shaft, to which a rotation urging mechanism is attached so as to always rotate in a constant direction, is horizontally mounted in the inner back portion of the mantle member, and the spring member of the male union member has one end. The other end is a string-like object that is mounted on the rotating shaft.

  As described above, since the present invention is provided with the string-like object in which one end is fixed to the spring member of the male coupling member and the other end is fixed in the open portion of the outer member of the female coupling member as described above, An annular body having a diameter sufficient to be worn on the wrist, and therefore, the annular body on the wrist or the neck may be simply hung. Next, when such a string is wrapped, both male and female coupling members come close to each other and eventually come into contact with each other, and after that, it is temporarily dark and difficult to see with the operation of pressing both back surfaces of both coupling members with the fingertips. By the way, both can be reliably combined.

  In this case, if the string-like material is made of an elastic member such as rubber or a metal spring, it is easy to fit the decorative body to the wrist or neck, and after the fitting, With the force of a certain material, the male and female coupling members are automatically moved in the direction in which they are combined, and thereafter, the two members can be reliably coupled by a simple operation of simply coupling the two coupling members.

  Further, the outer surface of the female coupling member has a rotation shaft to which a force in a direction rotating in one direction is always applied, and the other end of the string-like object having one end fixed to the spring member of the male coupling member, Since it is wound around the rotating shaft, the automatic coupling operation of the male / female coupling member is surely performed.

In the present invention, even if the male and female coupling members may be detached due to repeated intense vibrations and movements, the presence of the string-like object does not cause the decoration body to come off the body, As a result, it was possible to prevent the loss of decorative objects.

Further, the female member (3) is open on the male member (2) side, and a rectangular parallelepiped outer mantle member (10) into which the distal end portion (9) of the spring member (5) can be inserted from the open portion, and the mantle Locking provided on the locking member (7) of the male coupling member (2) when the male and female coupling members (2) (3) are coupled, provided protruding from the outer surface of the member (10) There is a protrusion (11) that can hook the part (6) hook.

Also, (12) in the figure is a string-like object that is preferably made of a resilient material such as a metal spring or rubber, and one end thereof is in the spring member (5) of the male coupling member (2), and its V-shape. Two holes (13) are opened at intervals on the tip side of the shape (4), and one end portions of the two string-like objects (12) are inserted into the tip, that is, in a V-shaped acute angle portion. Means such as providing a stopper with a wider angle than the hole (13) is preferable.

The other end of the string-like object (12) is in the outer member (10) of the female coupling member (3) and is fixed to the innermost part (14) from the open part (8). In this case, the innermost part (14) may be fixed by providing a rotating shaft (15) as shown in FIGS. Further, at this time, it is better that the rotation shaft (15) has a known rotational force biasing structure (16) that performs a rotational motion in a constant direction at all times.

Thus, when the male and female coupling members (2) and (3) are detached, the decorative body (1) of the present embodiment is temporarily fitted to the wrist, and the string-like object (12) is handled, so that the male and female Since the coupling members (2) and (3) come close to each other and come into contact with each other, the coupling members (2) and (3) can be easily coupled by simply pressing the coupling members (2) and (3) in the coupling direction with a finger or the like thereafter.

In this case, if the string-like object (12) is made of an elastic material such as rubber or a metal spring, the female coupling member (3) is always given a rotational force in one direction as described above. By providing the rotating shaft (15), both the connecting members (2) and (3) are automatically moved in the connecting direction, so that the connecting work in an invisible place or in a dark place is extremely easy.
