Description

  The present invention relates to an accessory such as an earring provided with a glittering decorative body that is swingably provided.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an accessory provided with a glittering decorative body 1 that reflects light and shines so as to be able to swing is known.
For example, FIG. 7 shows an earring in which the bright decorative body 1 is swingable. In this conventional earring, a support member 2 in which a wire having a circular cross section is formed in a ring shape is fixed to a mounting bracket (not shown) attached to the ear, and a wire having a circular cross section is attached to the support member 2. The connecting members 3 are connected to each other.

Further, the bright decorative body 1 is fixed to the connecting member 3 by welding at a fixing portion 5. Therefore, the combined body U in which the connecting member 3 and the bright decorative body 1 are integrated can swing with the contact position between the support member 2 and the connecting member 3 as a suspension fulcrum 4.
And in this earring, when the said coupling body U is still in the suspended state, the said fixed location 5 is made to substantially correspond with the straight line P passing through the said suspension fulcrum 4 and the gravity center C of the coupling body U. Yes.

JP 2011-160927 A

In the above-described conventional earring, since the fixed portion 5 is on the straight line P, the length of the arm of the rotational moment with the straight line P as the rotation center could hardly be secured.
Further, since the earring is only hung from the ear, the rotational force acting on the fixed portion 5 is usually very small.

  As described above, a combination of the fact that the length of the arm of the rotational moment can hardly be secured and the rotational force acting on the fixed portion 5 is small, the glittering decorative body 1 hardly rotates. Therefore, when the conventional earring is attached to the ear, the glittering decorative body 1 is simply in a state of repeatedly swinging. As a result, the conventional earring has a problem that the glittering decorative body 1 is difficult to glitter only by repeated simple swinging.

  On the other hand, in the jewelry industry, the glittering decorative body 1 that shines by reflecting light is desired to have a scintillation that reflects light finely, and for this purpose, a fine and complicated movement of the bright decorative body 1 is required. However, there is a problem that such scintillation hardly occurs only by swinging movement like a conventional earring, and an expected decoration effect cannot be obtained.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an accessory in which a bright decorative body causes scintillation and a sufficient decorative effect can be obtained.

The present invention includes an attachment member attached to the body, a support member directly or indirectly connected to the attachment member, a connection member suspended swingably and rotatable on the support member, and the connection member. It is premised on accessories such as earrings composed of a fixed glitter decoration.
Note that the swingable and rotatable means that the support member and the connecting member have shapes and sizes that do not interfere with each other within a range in which the support member and the connecting member can cause a rotational motion. The bright decorative body means a material that reflects light to shine. This glittering decorative body may have a configuration in which the luminous body is held by a pedestal, or may be configured only by the luminous body when the connecting member can be directly fixed to the luminous body.

  1st invention comprises the said connection member and a bright decoration body, and comprises a coupling body, and with respect to the straight line which passes along the gravity center of this coupling body, and the suspension fulcrum when this coupling body is suspended, It is characterized in that the fixing part between the connecting member and the bright decorative body is kept at a shifted position.

A second aspect of the invention is characterized in that the bright decorative body is formed by holding a bright body such as diamond on a pedestal.
The third invention is characterized in that the bright decorative body is made of a metallic or resin bright body, and the bright body is directly fixed to the connecting member.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, either or both of the support member and the connecting member are provided with a protrusion tapered toward the suspension fulcrum, and the protrusion is in point contact with the suspension fulcrum. There is a feature.
Note that the protrusion may have any shape, such as a needle, a chevron, and a ridgeline, as long as they can make point contact with each other.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, either or both of the support member and the connecting member are formed in a ring shape, and a protrusion that is tapered toward the center is provided on the inner periphery thereof. The suspension fulcrum is configured by point contact.
The ring shape is an endless shape, and may be any shape such as a circle, an ellipse, a polygon, or a combination thereof.

According to the first invention, since the fixed portion is at a position deviated from a straight line passing through the suspension fulcrum and the center of gravity of the combined body, the length of the arm of the rotational moment for rotating the combined body is increased. Can do. Thus, since the length of the arm can be increased, the glittering decorative body can be rotated even if the rotational force acting on the fixed portion is very small.
Further, since the glittering decorative body is easy to rotate, the rotational motion is combined with the swing motion. For this reason, the bright decorative body moves in various directions, scintillation occurs, and a sufficient decorative effect is obtained.

  According to the second invention, even when a bright body such as diamond cannot be directly fixed to the connecting member, the bright body and the connecting member can be integrated via the pedestal.

  According to the third aspect, since the metal or resin-made luminous body is directly fixed to the connecting member, the process of integrating the luminous body and the connecting member is simplified.

  According to the fourth invention, since the support member and the connecting member are in point contact at the suspension fulcrum, the contact area of the suspension fulcrum is reduced, the frictional resistance is reduced, and the swinging motion and the rotational motion are reduced. It tends to happen. In addition, the shaking time can be lengthened.

  According to the fifth aspect of the invention, either or both of the support member and the connection member are formed in a ring shape and are provided with a ridge line on the inner periphery thereof, so that the contact positions of the support member and the connection member are shifted. However, point contact can be maintained at the suspension fulcrum.

In 1st Embodiment, it is the side view which showed the attachment position of the connection member. In 1st Embodiment, it is the front view which showed the attachment position of the connection member. In 1st Embodiment, it is a principle diagram for demonstrating rotational motion. In 2nd Embodiment, it is the side view which showed the attachment position of the connection member. In 3rd Embodiment, it is the side view which showed the continuous link position of a supporting member and a connection member. It is the front view which showed the accessories of the conventional earring.

1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the accessory of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, this accessory is an earring. In the first embodiment, an attachment member 6 that is directly attached to the ear Y is provided. The mounting member 6 is a U-shaped mounting bracket that exerts a clamping force with a spring, a screw, or the like, and sandwiches the ear Y at both ends thereof.
In the first embodiment, a U-shaped mounting bracket is used. However, any U-shaped mounting bracket may be used as long as it has a function of mounting on the ear Y. For example, earrings that penetrate the ear Y or ear cuffs that fit into the ear Y may be used.

  A ring-shaped support member 7 is swingably connected to the mounting member 6. As shown in FIG. 2, the support member 7 has a quadrangular cross section 7b, and a protrusion 7a that is a corner of the cross section 7b on the inner periphery of the ring is provided toward the center of the ring. And the said support member 7 has the said protrusion 7a continuously, and forms the ridgeline.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a ring-shaped connecting member 8 is suspended from the support member 7 so as to be swingable and rotatable. In order to realize such swinging and rotation, the ring and the support member 7 and the connecting member 8 have shapes and sizes that do not interfere with each other within a range in which the rings can cause a rotational motion. This rotatable range only needs to be a level that can change the brightness of the glittering decorative body 1 that reflects light and shines.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the connecting member 8 has a quadrangular section 8b, and a protrusion 8a that is a corner of the section 8b on the inner periphery of the ring is provided toward the center of the ring. And as for the said connection member 8, the said protrusion 8a continues and forms the ridgeline.
Thus, in 1st Embodiment, since a ridgeline is formed by protrusion 7a, 8a formed in the mutual ring, the support member 7 and the connection member 8 contact each other between the ridgelines, and the said support member and connection Even if the contact position of the member is deviated, a point contact is made at the suspension fulcrum 9.

As shown in FIG. 2, a bright decoration body 1 in which a bright body D made of diamond is held by a pedestal 11 is fixed to the connecting member 8. And the said connection member 8 is welded to the fixed location 10 by the side of the said base 11, and the glittering body decoration body 1 and the connection member 8 are integrated.
The luminous body D made of diamond can integrate the luminous body D and the connecting member 8 through the pedestal 11 even when the luminous body D cannot be directly fixed to the connecting member 8.
When this earring is attached to the ear Y, the glitter decorative body 1 has the front surface 1a of the glitter decorative body 1 facing substantially the same direction as the front of the face.

  When the combined body U in which the connecting member 8 and the bright decorative body 1 are integrated is suspended from the support member 7, as shown in FIG. 3, the center of gravity C and the suspension fulcrum 9 of the combined body U are provided. The fixed part 10 is kept at a position shifted from the straight line P1 passing through. FIG. 3 is a view of the bright decorative body 1 as viewed from the front 1a. And the surface surrounded by the inner periphery of the ring of the connecting member 8 and the front face 1a of the glittering decorative body 1 are arranged so as to be substantially orthogonal.

As described above, in the first embodiment, when the glittering decorative body 1 is in a stationary state, when the front surface 1a of the glittering decorative body 1 is viewed, the position where the connecting member 8 is inclined from the vertical line as shown in FIG. 3 is maintained. ing.
Since it was set as such a structure, the rotational movement of the glitter decoration 1 mentioned later became easy to occur.

  FIG. 4 is a principle diagram viewed from the ceiling for explaining the rotational motion. A point P1 indicates a straight line P1 passing through the suspension fulcrum 9 and the center of gravity C of the combined body U. The fixing part 10 between the connecting member 8 and the bright decorative body 1 is located away from the straight line P1. An arrow heading from the point P1 to four directions indicates a basic swinging direction.

In the first embodiment, when the combined body U is rotated, a straight line P <b> 1 passing through the suspension fulcrum 9 and the center of gravity C of the combined body U becomes the rotational center of the combined body U.
And since the said fixed location 10 exists in the position which shifted | deviated from the straight line P1, the length L of the arm of the rotational moment which rotates the coupling body U centering on the said straight line P1 can be taken long. As described above, since the arm length L can be increased, the glittering decorative body 1 can be rotated even if the rotational force acting on the fixed portion 10 is very small.

Since the earring is stopped by the ear Y, forces in various directions due to the movement of the person act on the glittering decorative body 1. This force includes a force for rotating the bright decorative body 1 around the suspension support 9 and the straight line P1 passing through the center of gravity C of the combined body U. This force is very small because the earring only hangs it from the ear.
However, in the first embodiment, since the length L of the arm of the rotational moment that rotates the combined body U around the straight line P1 can be increased, the rotational motion occurs even if the rotational force is small.

According to the first embodiment, when the rotational motion is combined with the swing motion, the bright decoration body 1 moves in various directions, and scintillation occurs. If such scintillation occurs, the glittering decorative body 1 can be made to appear more beautiful.
In the first embodiment, since the ridgelines of the protrusions 7a and 8a are in point contact with each other at the suspension fulcrum 9, the contact area between the support member 7 and the connecting member 8 is reduced, and the frictional resistance is reduced. Oscillating motion and rotational motion are likely to occur. In addition, the time for shaking can be lengthened.

  In order to easily cause the oscillating motion of the glitter decorative body 1, what is described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-054162 has been conventionally known. In this conventional accessory, the inner circumferences of the rings of the support member and the connecting member are tapered toward the center of the ring to reduce the contact area between them. However, since the fixed part of the connecting member and the glitter decorative body is substantially coincident with the straight line passing through the suspension fulcrum and the center of gravity of the combined body, that is, the center of rotation, the bright decorative body of the first embodiment is compared with the earring of the first embodiment. Rotational movement was difficult to occur.

In the first embodiment, the support member 7 is swingably connected to the mounting member 6, but the support member 7 may be fixed to the mounting member 6.
Moreover, in 1st Embodiment, although the supporting member 7 is directly connected with the said attachment member 6, these may be connected indirectly. This indirect means that various indirect members such as a string, a chain, a ring-shaped member, or a rod member are attached between the attachment member 6 and the support member 7. Various indirect members can be used depending on the design.

Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the support member 7 and the connecting member 8 are ring-shaped members. However, any shape may be used as long as the connection member 8 can be suspended from the support member 7. For example, the shape may be hooked or a hole may be formed in a plate-like member.
In the first embodiment, the protrusions 7a and 8a are provided on both the support member 7 and the connecting member 8, but the protrusions 7a and 8a are provided on either the support member 7 and the connecting member 8. A configuration may be used.

In addition, although the protrusions 7a and 8a of the first embodiment have been described as ring-shaped ridge lines, any shape may be used as long as they can make point contact with each other. For example, the protrusions 7a and 8a may be needles or chevron shapes.
Moreover, in order to form a ridgeline, the ring of the support member 7 and the connecting member 8 uses a wire having a square cross section 7b, 8b, but the shape forming the ridgeline is not limited to a rectangle, and various polygons are used. be able to. Further, a wire having a circular or elliptical cross section where no ridgeline is formed may be used.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the glittering decorative body 1 is configured by combining the luminous body D made of diamond and the base 11, but when the connecting member 8 can be directly fixed to the luminous body D, the luminous body D The glittering decorative body 1 may be configured only by this. The fact that the connecting member 8 can be directly fixed to the luminous body D is, for example, a case where the connecting member 8 and the luminous body D are made of metal and are directly welded, or a resin in which the luminous body D is plated. This includes a case where the connecting member 8 and the luminous body D are directly bonded with an adhesive. Furthermore, the thing which couple | bonds the connection member 8 and the luminous body D with a screw is also contained.

Thus, since the metallic or resin-made luminous body D is directly fixed to the connecting member 8, the process of integrating the luminous body D and the connecting member 8 is simplified.
In addition, the luminous body D may be of any material or shape as long as it has a function of shining when it rotates.

Next, a second embodiment will be described.
The second embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is different from the first embodiment in the position of the fixing portion 10 between the connecting member 8 and the glittering decorative body 1, but the other structure is the same as the first embodiment.

In this second embodiment, the glittering decorative body 1 that reflects light and shines is attached to the ear Y with its front face 1a oriented in substantially the same direction as the front face side of the face.
Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the bright decoration body 1 in which the bright body D made of diamond is held by the base 11 is fixed to the ring-shaped connecting member 8. A fixing portion 10 between the glittering decorative body 1 and the connecting member 8 is formed on the back surface of the base 11 facing the front surface 1a of the glittering decorative body 1. The glitter decorative body 1 and the connecting member 8 are welded and integrated with the fixed portion 10 on the upper side of the pedestal 11.

When the combined body U in which the connecting member 8 and the bright decorative body 1 are integrated is suspended from the support member 7, as shown in FIG. 3, the center of gravity C and the suspension fulcrum 9 of the combined body U are provided. The fixed part 10 is kept at a position shifted from the straight line P1 passing through. 5 is a view of the bright decorative body 1 as viewed from the side surface 1b.
Other functions and effects are the same as those of the first embodiment.

Next, a third embodiment will be described.
The third embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is different from the first embodiment in the arrangement of the support member 12, but the other structures are the same as those in the first embodiment.
The support member 12 has a shape in which the ring is substantially semicircular, and is fixed horizontally to the attachment member 6 attached to the ear Y. The support member 12 is provided with a combined body U in which the connection member 8 and the glittering decorative body 1 are integrated while a ring-shaped connection member 8 is suspended so as to swing and rotate.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the support member 12 has a quadrangular cross section 12b, and a protrusion 12a that is a corner of the cross section 12b is provided on the upper side of the ring. And the protrusion 12a continues and forms the ridgeline.
In the third embodiment, the ridge line of the protrusion 12 a of the support member 12 and the ridge line of the protrusion 8 a tapered toward the center of the ring of the connecting member 8 make point contact at the suspension fulcrum 9. It has a structure.

Thus, since the ridgeline of the protrusion 12a of the support member 12 is provided horizontally, the connecting member 8 can move along the support member 12 in the horizontal direction. In the third embodiment, since the position of the suspension fulcrum 9 can be moved in the horizontal direction, the front face 1a of the glittering decorative body 1 is set in the same direction as the front face of the face according to individual differences such as the direction of the ear Y. Can be directed.
Further, since the ridgelines of the protrusion 12a of the support member 12 and the protrusion 8a of the connecting member 8 are in point contact with each other at the suspension fulcrum 9, the contact area between the support member 12 and the connecting member 8 is reduced and friction is caused. The resistance is reduced, and the swinging motion and the rotational motion are likely to occur.

Although the support member 12 of the third embodiment is horizontally provided on the attachment member 6, it can be attached to the attachment member 6 at various angles as long as the connecting member 8 can be suspended from the support member 12. May be. Thus, when attaching the support member 12 at an angle with respect to the attachment member 6, the protrusion 12 a of the support member 12 is directed upward, and the tip of the protrusion 12 a is used as the suspension fulcrum 9. Is desirable.
Other functions and effects are the same as those of the first embodiment.

In addition, although this application demonstrated the earring as embodiment, it can utilize also for a pendant, a brooch, etc. as a mechanism in which the scintillation of the glitter decoration 1 occurs.
When used for such a pendant or brooch, the supporting members 7 and 12 and the suspension fulcrum 9 of the connecting member 8 are provided at positions away from the body so as not to hinder the movement of the glittering decorative body 1. . An attachment member having any shape may be used to satisfy such a condition.

  The present invention is most suitable for accessories such as earrings that make a bright decorative body look beautiful.
