Description

  The present invention relates to a jewelry and a pendant top that can prevent a ring from being lost and enhance the decoration function of the pendant top.

  Conventional necklaces often use a chain or a noble metal wire member formed in a ring shape. However, since it is monotonous by itself, various decorative ornaments are hung to enhance the decorativeness.

As part of this, attempts have been made to put such rings on necklaces or hang them using expensive rings such as diamonds and rubies, which are very decorative.

  For example, the accessory shown in Patent Document 1 is provided with a mechanism for attaching a ring to a necklace, and is devised so that the surface on which the jewelry of the ring is attached always faces the front at a predetermined position of the necklace. .

This attachment mechanism includes a piece member having a holding portion such as a necklace to which a necklace can be attached at an appropriate position, which can be elastically attached to the inside of the ring portion of the ring. The necklaces are attached to the holding part of the piece member such as a necklace.

  By the way, in scenes where it is not appropriate to wear a ring, for example, when working in the workplace or housework, it is routinely performed to store the ring in a pocket or the like temporarily. In such a case, there are many cases in which the ring is dropped and lost, or the storage location is not known after a long time and cannot be found after all. Rings are not only expensive, but there are many things with memories and memories that cannot be replaced by anything. Loss is not only an economic loss, but also mental damage and human beings. It can also lead to damage to the relationship.

  In order to eliminate such inconvenience, if the ring is attached to the piece member using the structure of Patent Document 1, the effect of protecting the ring from being lost can be expected.

However, the attachment mechanism of Patent Document 1 is an idea of attaching a ring to a necklace and making it an accessory, and is not mainly intended to be used by being fitted to a finger. That is, when the piece member is attached to and detached from the inner ring ring periphery, the piece member must be removed from the necklace in order to insert the ring into the necklace. It is a thing.

An object of the present invention is to provide a new and useful accessory that can be suitably adapted to such an application.

  In order to achieve this object, the present invention takes the following measures.

  That is, the jewelry according to the present invention is obtained by attaching a pendant top to a necklace, and a ring holding part for holding the ring detachably without releasing the attached state is provided in a part of the pendant top. It is characterized by that.

  As described above, if the above-mentioned ring holder is provided on a part of the pendant top attached to the necklace of the accessory, the ring can be attached and detached without removing the pendant top from the necklace one by one. For this reason, even if the ring is frequently attached and detached, there is no trouble, and the plain is used by being fitted on the finger and temporarily removed and temporarily held as necessary.

In order to prevent the ring from becoming bulky in the front-rear direction in the wearing state and to enhance the decorativeness, the ring holder holds the ring finger hole when wearing and points the finger hole toward the front of the wearer. It is desirable that the ring can be held in a state where the ring is partially exposed from the pendant top.

In particular, in order to ensure that the appearance of the pendant top is not damaged and that the appearance of the pendant top is not impaired as a normal pendant top without wearing the ring, and to ensure the ease of attaching and detaching the ring, It is desirable that the insertion / removal port for positioning is not visible from the front when worn.

As a structure for ensuring the ease of attaching / detaching the ring to / from the insertion / removal port, the insertion / removal port is normally closed by the opening / closing member, and can be opened by applying a predetermined operation to the opening / closing member as necessary. The insertion / removal port is normally opened, and a narrowed or curved stenosis path is allowed to pass through until the ring is positioned on the ring holder.

While maintaining the function of attaching and detaching the ring without removing the pendant top from the necklace, it can easily cope with the difference in the width of the ring, and the jewelry can be used when the shaft is arranged almost vertically in use. In order to arrange the mounted surface in front so that a decorative function can be expected, the ring holder can be detached by inserting and removing the main part of the pendant top and the shaft part of the main part. It is preferable that the ring attached to the outer periphery of the shaft portion is held in the gap between the main body portion and the holding body in a state where the holding portion is mounted on the main body portion.

In particular, the holding body can be divided into a plurality of parts together with the shaft part in a state of being detached from the main body part of the pendant top, and each divided piece is connected to necklaces that have passed through the main body part. It is preferable as a specific structure that the ring is arranged on the outer periphery of the shaft portion by assembling the divided pieces after the ring is inserted, and the shaft portion is attached to the main body portion in that state.

As an aspect using the existing necklaces, it is preferable to configure a pendant top that includes an insertion portion through which the necklaces can be inserted and a ring holding portion that detachably holds the ring.

  Since the present invention has the configuration described above, the ring can be easily attached to and detached from the pendant top while the necklaces are hung on the neck, thereby preventing the ring from being lost easily and reliably. It is possible to provide a new and useful accessory and a pendant top that can be used.

Several embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
(First embodiment)

  The accessory shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is configured by attaching a pendant top 2 to a necklace 1. In the figure, the symbol F indicates the front side (that is, the side seen from the person facing the wearer), and the symbol B indicates the back side that is the opposite side. The same applies to the other drawings.

  The necklace 1 is a ring made of a precious metal wire member. The ends can be detached from each other behind the neck, and the pendant top 2 is inserted and suspended while the ends are pulled apart. To be able to. Of course, chain-type necklaces can also be used.

  The pendant top 2 can be made of various materials such as various metals such as iron and aluminum, alloys, and resins. Here, the penetrating top 21 through which the necklace 1 can be inserted, and the ring 3 The main body 2x is provided with a ring holding part 22 that holds the ring in a detachable manner. The ring 3 has a gem 3a such as diamond or ruby attached to a part of the annular portion. The main body 2x includes a top wall 23a that curves in a downward U shape, a front wall 23b that smoothly continues to the front of the top wall 23a, and a bottom wall 23c that continues below the front wall 23b. A plate-like opening / closing member 25 is provided at a position on the back side of the main body 2x to open and close the insertion / removal port 24 between the rear part of the top wall 23a and the rear part of the bottom wall 23c. The opening / closing member 25 is rotatably attached to the rear end of the bottom wall 23c of the main body 2x via a support shaft m, and the front end 25b is attached to the inner side of the edge of the insertion / extraction port 24 of the main body 2x by a kick spring (not shown). The insertion / removal port 24 is closed by being elastically pressed. When the opening / closing member 25 is pressed inward as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. 3 against the spring force, the insertion / removal port 24 is opened, from which the annular portion of the ring 3 can be passed and inserted into the inside. Then, by releasing the operating force after insertion, the opening / closing member 25 closes the insertion / removal port 24, and the ring 3 is suspended and held so as to be hooked on the substantially horizontal bottom wall 23c of the main body 2x. The portion surrounded by the bottom wall 23c, the front wall 23b, the top wall 23a, and the opening / closing member 25 and the hollow portion 2z inside thereof function as the ring holding portion 22 of the present invention.

  The insertion part 21 of the necklace 1 is formed between the curved plate-like member 21a attached to the upper part of the main body part 2x and the main body part 2x, and opens in the same direction as the opening direction of the hollow part 2z of the main body part 2x. It has become a thing.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the pendant top 2 having a decoration function is attached to the necklace 1 to configure the accessory, the ring holder 22 as described above is provided in a part of the pendant top 2. The ring 3 can be attached and detached without removing the pendant top 2 from the necklaces 1 one by one. Therefore, even if the ring 3 is frequently attached and detached, there is no trouble, and by temporarily removing the ring 3 and temporarily holding it, the loss can be prevented, and if necessary, the finger 3 can be immediately removed from the pendant top 2 and removed. Since it can be re-fitted, it can be very suitably adapted for storage when housework or work.

In addition, since the ring holding part 22 can hold the ring 3 in a state where the ring finger hole is hooked at the time of wearing and the finger hole is partially exposed from the pendant top 2 toward the front of the wearer, Since the ring 3 is not bulky in the front-rear direction when worn, the ring 3 is attached with a jewel 3a and the jewel 3a is stabilized at the lowest position by its own weight. Combined with the decorativeness, it is possible to expect a high decorative effect like a hanging decoration.

In particular, the insertion / removal port 24 for positioning the ring 3 on the ring holding portion 22 is located on the wearer side during wearing and is not visible from the front F side as shown in FIG. Since the insertion / removal port 24 can be visually recognized by taking it slightly forward, the good appearance of the pendant top 2 can be effectively maintained, and at the same time, the ease of attachment / detachment can be effectively achieved. Of course, when the ring 3 is not worn, the aesthetic appearance of the normal pendant top 2 is not impaired, so that the original decoration function can be secured.

Further, the insertion / removal port 24 is normally closed by the opening / closing member 25 and can be opened by applying a predetermined operation to the opening / closing member 25 as required. Sex can be effectively secured.

An appropriate coating layer is provided on the inner surface of the main body 2x and the opening / closing member 25 to prevent the ring 3 from coming into contact with the pendant top and being damaged, or the generation of noise due to metal contact during contact. It is desirable. The same is true for the parts where the rings come into contact in the following pendant tops.

In addition, the shape of the top wall 123a, the front wall 123b, and the bottom wall 123c constituting the main body portion 102x can be variously set, such as a pendant top 102 shown in FIG. is there.

Further, like the pendant top 202 shown in FIG. 5, the opening / closing member 225 can be opened outward to open the insertion / extraction port 224. In the case of the illustrated example, the rotation center of the opening / closing member 225 is positioned upward, and the insertion / extraction port 224 is closed in a state where the outer surface thereof is flush with the outer surface of the rear wall 223d provided in the main body 202x. It is configured. In FIG. 1, it is of course possible to configure the outer surface to be flush when closed.
(Second Embodiment)

  The accessory shown in FIG. 6 is also configured by attaching the pendant top 302 to the necklace 1, and a ring holding portion 322 that detachably holds the ring 3 without releasing the attached state is provided in a part of the pendant top 302. ing. And the ring holding part 322 can hold | maintain the ring 3 in the state which hooked the cyclic | annular fingerhole at the time of wear and the fingerhole was partially exposed from the pendant top 302 toward the wearer's front (front F side). The point is the same as in the first embodiment in that the insertion / removal port 324 for positioning the ring 3 on the ring holder 322 is not visible from the front when worn.

The accessory of this embodiment includes a first passage 331 through which the main body portion 322x of the pendant top 302 is inserted linearly from an insertion / removal port 324 that opens the ring 3 downward, and the first passage 331. A second passage 332 for moving the ring 3 along the top wall 323a without changing the posture, and the ring 3 is moved from the second passage 332 in a direction almost opposite to the insertion direction of the first passage 331. A bent constricted path 300 including a third passage 333 dropped into the bottom wall 323c is provided. That is, the pendant top 302 is configured such that the insertion / removal port 324 is always in the “open” state, and the narrow path 300 bent in a labyrinth is passed before the ring 3 is held by the ring holding part 322. What is indicated by reference numeral 323e in the figure is an inner wall for forming the narrowed passage 300 between the outer wall and standing up from the bottom wall 323c to stably hold the ring 3.

Even with this configuration, the ring 3 can be attached and detached without removing the pendant top 302 from the necklace 1 one by one, so there is no trouble even if it is frequently attached and detached, and the ring 3 is temporarily removed and temporarily held. It will be very well suited to the intended use. Also, the point that the ring 3 is not bulky in the front-rear direction and a decorative effect is obtained, and the ease of attachment / detachment can be achieved without deteriorating the appearance is the same as in the above embodiment. In particular, this is not provided with an opening / closing member, and can be hung so as to be hooked on the ring holding portion 322 simply by inserting the ring 3 and moving the narrow path 300, whereas the ring 3 In order to disengage, the ring 3 cannot be removed from the ring holding part 322 without moving through the process of lifting the ring 3 vertically upward, moving it horizontally, and pulling it downward vertically. Unless such an operation is intentionally performed, it is almost impossible for the ring 3 to inadvertently move in the reverse direction in the constricted path 300 and fall off, so that it is easy to insert and remove and the reliable holding state of the ring 3. It is possible to achieve both.

As shown in the pendant top 402 shown in FIG. 7, the insertion / removal port 424 is positioned at the upper part on the back side and is always in the “open” state, and is spirally formed until the ring 3 is held by the ring holding part 422. It is also effective to pass through a narrowed path 400 that curls and curves. If this narrow path 400 is set to a width that is slightly larger than the thickness dimension of the annular portion of the ring 3 and a large cavity S is formed at the inner end of the narrow path 400, the narrow path can be narrowed from this cavity S. In order to enter the path 400, the ring 3 must be moved from the inner end of the narrow path 400 in the opening direction of the ring 3 with the ring 3 tilted at a certain angle as shown by an imaginary line in the figure, and the ring 3 is gripped. Unless such an operation is intentionally performed in this state, it is almost impossible for the ring 3 to accidentally go out of the cavity S into the narrowed path 400. Even with this structure, the ring 3 can be easily inserted and removed. Thus, it is possible to achieve both of the three reliable holding states. The point that the insertion / removal port 424 is always in the “open” state at the upper part on the back side can also improve the operability. Furthermore, in the case of the ring holding portion 422 having this structure, the ring 3 is simply dropped through the narrow path 400, and has a simple structure with no lid member and no inner wall. Even when the ring 3 ′ is wide, there is an advantage that it can be easily stored in the cavity S through the narrow path 400 easily.
(Third embodiment)

  The accessory shown in FIG. 8A is also configured by attaching the pendant top 502 to the necklace 1, and the ring holding portion 522 that holds the ring 3 detachably without releasing the attached state is one of the pendant tops 502. It is the same as that of the said 1st, 2nd embodiment by the point provided in the part.

However, in order to cope with the difference in the width of the ring, in particular, by attaching the holding body 500 under the concavo-convex structure below the main body portion 502x of the pendant top 502, the space between the main body portion 502x and the holding body 500 is reduced. A ring holder 522 that holds the ring 3 in a state where the annular finger hole is directed in the vertical direction is configured.

Specifically, the main body portion 502x has a cylindrical opening on the lower end side, and the necklaces 1 have end portions that wrap around from the left and right of the neck pass through holes 523ax provided in the top wall 523a, respectively. It is drawn in to the hollow portion 522 side. The holding body 500 can be divided into a pair of divided pieces 500a, and forms a bottom plate portion 500x having an outer shape that is substantially the same diameter as the main body portion 502x and larger in diameter than a ring 3 having a general size. Further, a shaft portion 500b having a slightly smaller diameter that can be fitted into the hollow portion 522 is provided above the end portion of the necklace 1 that is pulled out from the hollow portion 522 and connected to the shaft portion 500b. . That is, when the ring 3 is inserted through the divided piece 500a of the holding body 500 and the divided pieces 500a are assembled, the ring 3 is positioned on the bottom plate part 500x on the outer periphery of the shaft part 300b as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in (b) → (c) of the figure, by fitting the shaft portion 500b into the hollow portion 522 of the main body portion 502x, the ring 3 is positioned between the bottom plate portion 500x and the main body portion 502x. Yes.

With this configuration, it is possible to easily cope with the width difference including the case where the ring 3 is wide, while maintaining the function that allows the ring 3 to be attached / detached without removing the pendant top 502 from the necklaces 1. In addition, when the shaft 500b is in a substantially vertical posture in use, the surface on which the jewelry 3a is attached can be expected to face the front as shown in the figure, so that the decoration function of the pendant top 502 can be effectively enhanced. You can expect. The ring 3 is regulated by the shaft portion 500b and is not greatly displaced in the horizontal direction, and the fit is also good.

In particular, when the holder 500 is detached from the main body 502x, it is divided into divided pieces 500x so that the ring 3 can be easily inserted, so the main body 502x and the holder 500 are always connected by the necklaces 1 The ring 3 can be appropriately attached and detached while maintaining this state.

Note that it is desirable that the fitting depth is almost constant regardless of the difference in the width of the ring. It is effective to place the magnets or the like for holding the shaft portion on the main body portion on the facing surface so that the portions are loosely fitted.

As mentioned above, although several embodiment and modification of this invention were demonstrated, in each of these embodiment and modification, the shape of a pendant top, a pattern, a raw material, etc. can be variously deformed and implemented. In addition, the specific configuration of each unit is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  9A, if the pendant top 602 is provided with a hanging ornament 602z, the hanging ornament 602z is positioned in the annular finger hole in the state shown in FIG. In addition, an effect of synergistically enhancing the decoration functions of the pendant top 602 and the ring 3 can be expected.

  Furthermore, if the ring 3 is held above the pendant top 702 as shown in FIG. 5C so that almost the entire pendant top 702 can be accommodated in the ring 3, the above is different. A synergistic decorative effect can also be expected.

Furthermore, if the pendant top of the present invention is provided with an insertion part through which necklaces can be inserted and a ring holding part for holding the ring detachably, the above-mentioned necklaces can be simply inserted through It can be effectively used as such an accessory.
