Description

  The present invention relates to a jewelry such as a ring, a pendant, a brooch, and a pierced earring on which a decorative tool such as a jewelry is swingably attached.

  As this type of accessory, for example, a ring that is a main body of the accessory, a recess formed on the outer peripheral portion of the ring, and an annular holding member that holds a gemstone with a nail or the like, a pair of recesses are formed. A holding member that holds a jewel is disposed between opposing wall portions, and both sides of the holding member are connected to the wall portion in a chain shape to support the jewel so as to be swingable in the recess. There has been proposed an accessory (see Patent Document 1).

  Further, the jewel is stored in a cage formed of a plurality of frames, and a recess is formed on the frame side where the jewel curette (lower end) abuts. The cullet that abuts the bottom of the recess is used as a fulcrum. There has been proposed an accessory that can hold the swaying freely (see Patent Document 2).

  By the way, in the accessory of patent document 1, since the operation | work which processes a holding member according to the magnitude | size of jewelry, for example, and attaches without damaging a jewelry is required, skill is required for work and work efficiency is high. There is a problem of lowering. Furthermore, since the structure of the connection part which connects a holding member with the wall part by the side of a ring becomes complicated, there exists a possibility that manufacturing cost may become high. On the other hand, the accessory of Patent Document 2 also requires high processing accuracy because it is necessary to form a frame according to the size of the jewel so that the curette is not detached from the recess by external force.

  Further, in the case of Patent Document 2, the jewel is supported in a tilted state with a curette as a fulcrum and a portion other than the curette in contact with the frame or the like. That is, the direction in which the jewel is tilted (posture) changes in accordance with the direction in which the external force is received, and this change causes oscillation. Here, in order to attract attention to the shaking of the jewel, the rocking must be continued to some extent, whereas in Patent Document 2, in order to keep the rocking to some extent, a predetermined size from a predetermined direction is required. There is room for improvement in terms of the continuity of rocking because it is necessary to continue to change the direction in which the gem tilts by applying external force.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide an accessory that can easily swing an ornament such as a jewelry, improve the continuity of the swing, and can be easily manufactured at a low manufacturing cost. And

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a jewelry accessory body that covers a recess that is opened at least on the surface of the accessory body, a decoration tool that is stored and held in the recess, and a part of the upper portion of the decoration tool. An accessory that is attached and prevents the accessory from slipping out of the recess and holds the accessory in a swingable manner in the recess. A pavilion formed in a pyramid shape in the lower half is supported from both sides by a pair of protrusions arranged to face each other in parallel.

  By supporting the decorative tool in a state where it is placed on the pair of protrusions in this way, the decorative tool begins to swing like a pendulum using the contact portions (two locations) with the protrusion as a fulcrum even with a slight external force. The shaking continues for a predetermined time. Further, even if the decorative tool has a certain weight, it can easily be swung. Furthermore, since the ornament is only required to be placed on the ridge, the ridge and the retaining member do not require high processing accuracy. For this reason, it can manufacture easily, restraining manufacturing cost.

  In this case, a hole into which the curette is inserted is formed at the bottom of the recess, and this hole may be formed so that the pavilion abuts when the ornamental tool swings. In this way, since the swing range of the accessory can be limited, the swing can be stabilized.

  Further, the pair of protrusions may be formed by mounting a rod having a circular cross section in the recess. In other words, the ridge may be formed integrally with the accessory main body. However, by forming and attaching the bar having a simple shape in this way, the manufacturing becomes easy and the manufacturing cost is further reduced. be able to.

  Specifically, the present invention relates to a ring, a concave portion formed on the outer peripheral side of the ring, a decorative tool housed and held in the concave portion, and an outer periphery of the ring so as to cover a part of the upper portion of the decorative tool. The accessory includes a retaining member that is attached to the surface and prevents the ornament from coming off the ring, and holds the ornament in a swingable manner in the ring. In the state, a pavilion formed in a pyramid shape in the lower half is supported from both sides by a pair of protrusions arranged in parallel and a hole into which a curette is inserted is formed at the bottom of the recess The hole is formed so that the pavilion contacts when the ornament swings.

  According to the present invention, jewelry can be easily swung, the continuity of rocking can be improved, and the manufacturing cost can be kept low and can be easily manufactured.

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

  In the present embodiment, a configuration when a decorative accessory is swingably attached to a ring-shaped accessory body is shown as an example. Here, the ornament is made of pseudo jewelry, platinum, gold, etc. in addition to jewelry such as diamond, various colored stones, CZ (cubic zirconia), crystal, etc., and has a predetermined shape to be described later. If it is a thing, it will not specifically limit. Further, the accessory body is not limited to a ring shape (including a ring, a pendant, a brooch, a pierce, etc.), and various shapes can be applied.

  FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing, in an enlarged manner, a portion in which a jewelry is stored in a jewelry to which the present invention is applied. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing only one side of FIG.

  The jewelry of this embodiment includes a ring 1 having a size that can be fitted to a finger, a recess 3 formed on the outer periphery of the ring 1, a jewel 5 stored in the recess 3, and a jewel provided in the recess 3. And a retaining member 9 attached to the outer peripheral surface of the ring 1 so as to cover a part of the upper part of the jewel 5 from both sides. The ring 1 is made of, for example, platinum, gold, silver, stainless steel, brass or the like, but is not limited thereto.

  In the present embodiment, diamond-cut polyhedral diamond is used as the jewel 5. The diamond includes a table 5a formed by cutting the head into a horizontal plane, a crown 5b formed in a pyramid shape under the table 5a, a maximum width girdle 5c formed under the crown 5b, and a girdle. A pavilion 5d formed in a pyramid shape under 5c and a culet 5e formed at the lower end of the pavilion 5d are provided.

  The recess 3 is formed by cutting out the outer peripheral side of the ring 1 so as to be substantially U-shaped in cross section, and is formed by connecting a bottom surface 11 and a pair of wall portions 13. An escape hole 15 is formed in the center of the bottom surface 11 so as to penetrate the ring 1. A predetermined tapered surface 17 is widened toward the opening side at the opening edge of the escape hole 15 on the concave portion 3 side. It is formed to have a diameter.

  On the bottom surface side of the wall portion 13, a pair of support bars 7 are respectively mounted in a state in which a part of the outer periphery protrudes inside the recess 3 along the axial direction. That is, the wall 13 is formed with a groove in which the support bar 7 is mounted, and a part of the support bar 7 is fixed to the groove. The support rods 7 are arranged in parallel so as to be parallel to each other, and both end surfaces thereof are processed so as to be flush with, for example, an end surface of the ring. The support bar 7 can be made of platinum, gold, silver, stainless steel, brass, iron, crystal, carbon, acrylic, or the like, but is not limited thereto.

  One retaining member 9 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the ring 1 so as to wrap a part of the opening of the recessed portion 3 from both sides of the recessed portion 3, and a predetermined design is applied. The retaining member 9 is for preventing the jewel 5 from moving upward or laterally by an external force and coming out of the recess 3. In the present embodiment, the protruding portion of the retaining member 9 is inserted into the insertion hole 19 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the ring 1 and fixed and attached by a known method.

  Here, a method for assembling the accessory according to this embodiment will be described. 3 to 5 show top views of a jewelry to which the present invention is applied.

  First, as shown in FIG. 3, the pair of support bars 7 are fixed to the ring 1, and then the jewel 5 is placed on the pair of support bars 7 as shown in FIG. 4. At this time, the curette 5e of the jewel 5 is inserted into the escape hole 15 and floated. And as shown in FIG. 5, it completes by attaching the retaining member 9 via the insertion hole 19. FIG. As described above, in this embodiment, the jewelry 5 is not fixed with a holding member or the like, and can be simply a work of simply placing the jewelry 5 on the support rod 7. The risk of damaging gems associated with typical stonework processing can be avoided.

  Next, the operation of the accessory thus assembled will be described. FIG. 6 is a side sectional view for explaining the operation when the jewel attached to the accessory of this embodiment swings.

  First, the jewel 5 is supported by the pair of support bars 7 from both sides in a state where the curette 5e is floated by the pavilion 5d coming into contact with the support bar 7 in a stationary state (solid line in FIG. 6). Here, the jewel 5 is in contact with the support bar 7 at the cut surface of the pavilion 5d or at the boundary between the cut surfaces.

  When an external force is applied to the accessory in this state, the jewel 5 starts to sway in the left and right directions, that is, in the axial direction of the support bar 7 with the contact portion with the support bar 7 as a fulcrum (dotted line in FIG. 6). The shaking continues for a predetermined time even after the supply of external force stops.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the jewel 5 can be swung for a predetermined time only by applying a slight external force, scintillation of the jewel 5 is continuously generated for a predetermined time without continuously applying an external force. Can be made. When the swing width is large, the pavilion 5d comes into contact with the tapered surface 17 of the escape hole 15 and the swing width is limited, so that the swing can be stabilized. In this embodiment, such rocking of the jewel 5 can be visually recognized from above or from the side.

  Moreover, even if the jewel 5 has a certain weight, the rocking can be continued by the principle of the pendulum. In this respect, for example, in the case of the conventional configuration in which the jewel 5 swings around the culet 5e as a fulcrum, the jewel 5 becomes difficult to swing when the load of the jewel 5 increases. Start swinging easily.

  In the present embodiment, even if the jewel 5 moves up, down, left, and right due to external force, the jewel 5 comes into contact with the retaining member 9 and the pavilion 5d comes into contact with the tapered surface 17, so that the curette 5 e is released from the escape hole 15. The inserted state is maintained. For this reason, even after an impact is applied, it is possible to easily return to the original state (solid line in FIG. 6), stabilize the posture, and start swinging.

  Moreover, since the dimension of the recessed part 3 can be easily obtained with high accuracy by a known processing method, and other parts, in particular, the support bar 7 can use a simple round bar, for example, a commercially available processed product such as a wire rod. Can be cut down to a predetermined length and retrofitted onto the ring to reduce the manufacturing cost.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which a straight bar is used as the support bar 7 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, a moderately curved bar may be used. For example, even if such support rods are arranged at a predetermined interval so that the curves overlap, the swing can be generated. Further, the cross section of the support bar 7 is not limited to a circle, and a triangular shape or other polygonal shape may be used.

  In the present embodiment, the example of the table 5a, the crown 5b, the girdle 5c, the pavilion 5d, and the cullet 5e as the shape of the jewel 5 has been described, but it is sufficient that at least the pyramid-shaped pavilion 5d is provided. The shape of is not essential. According to the principle of the present invention, the jewel 5 can be supported by the pair of support rods 7 as long as the pavilion 5d is provided.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the example is described in which the jewel 5 is stored in the recess 3 formed in the ring serving as the accessory body and the jewel 5 is held by covering the jewel 5 with the retaining member 9. The structure is not limited to this as long as it is supported by the rod 7 and holds the jewel 5 in a predetermined space. For example, a frame is attached to the accessory body, and the jewel 5 is surrounded by the frame. You may comprise as follows.

  As described above, according to the present invention, since the jewel 5 can be easily rocked like a pendulum by placing the jewel 5 on the support rod 7 and supporting it, the rocking of the jewel 5 can be easily started. And swinging can be continued for a predetermined time. Moreover, since the direction in which the jewel 5 swings can be limited to one direction, unique scintillation can be generated and attention can be gathered. Furthermore, since it is only necessary to support the jewel 5 with the support rod 7, the configuration is simplified and the manufacturing cost can be kept low.
