Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an accessory chain, and more particularly, to an accessory chain suitable for a multiple chain necklace or a breastlet.

[Prior art]

 In the field of accessories, accessory chains have been widely used as necklaces and bracelets. This accessory chain is usually configured by connecting a plurality of chain units each having a loop portion. In some cases, pearls, corals, jewels, or design bodies with designs (hereinafter referred to as “pearls, etc.”) may be attached to a single chain. In this case, a thin rod-shaped core is first adhered to the mounting surface to perform so-called centering, and a pallet or the like is inserted into the core and adhered and fixed. The type of the core includes a threaded thread and a twisted plurality of square wires. In addition, necklaces and bracelets that have pierced holes in pearls, etc., and that connect multiple pearls, etc., through strings through these through holes, are also in high demand. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, a multiple chain type in which a string 6 through a pearl P or the like is twisted has been proposed.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, the conventional accessory chain had several problems as follows. In other words, when connecting a single chain, the loop had to be heated and closed. In addition, even when attaching pearls or the like to the chain itself, the centering process required a heating process that required skill such as brazing. Such a heating process not only reduces the durability of the chain itself, but also often causes discoloration of the surface of the chain, so a polishing process was indispensable. As a result, the production cost has risen, which is economically disadvantageous. Further, in the multiple-row type shown in FIG. 14, since the pearls and the like collide with each other, the surface of the pearls and the like may be damaged. Also, in the case of the multi-strand type, a string passed through a pallet or the like is twisted, so that a strong load is applied to the string itself. Therefore, supple movements will be impaired. As a result, the overall feeling was rough, the fit to the user was low, and a rugged impression was sometimes given. The present invention has been proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the need for heat processing, improve durability and reduce manufacturing costs, and improve the multi-layer structure. It is an object of the present invention to provide an excellent accessory chain that does not damage the surface of a pearl or the like in a necklace or a bracelet, and that can secure a supple movement and obtain a good fit.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 is an accessory chain formed by connecting a plurality of chain units each having a loop portion, and the chain unit is provided with a pearl, coral, jewelry, or design. A plurality of pedestals capable of holding the designed body provided are provided so as to be in contact with each other, and a loop portion of another chain unit is sandwiched between the contacted pedestals to connect the chain units together. This is a feature of the configuration. In the invention of claim 1 having the above-described configuration, since the chain units are connected to each other with the loop unit of another chain interposed between the bases of the chain units that are in contact with each other, the loop unit is subjected to heat processing. There is no need to increase the chain durability. In addition, since there is no discoloration on the chain surface, a polishing step is not required, and the production cost can be reduced accordingly. Furthermore, by connecting a single chain while holding pearls or the like on a plurality of pedestals, it is possible to form a multi-strand type necklace or bracelet in which pearls or the like are multiplexed. Moreover, since the pedestal holds the pearl and the like, the pearl and the like do not collide with each other and there is no fear of being damaged. Furthermore, since the string passed through the pearl etc. is not twisted, a flexible movement can be secured and a good fit feeling can be obtained. According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the accessory chain according to the first aspect, the pedestal is integrally provided with a connecting plate for connecting the pedestals, and the connecting plate is bent when the pedestals come into contact with each other. And a loop portion of the chain alone is formed. According to the invention of claim 2 having such a configuration, since the connecting plate for connecting the pedestals is bent to form the loop portion of the chain alone, there is no need to provide the members constituting the loop portion independently, and the member is not required. Points can be reduced. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be greatly reduced. According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the accessory chain according to the first or second aspect, a pearl, coral, jewel, or a rod-shaped core inserted into a designed body is penetrated through the pedestals in contact with each other. It is characterized by having. In the invention of claim 3 having such a configuration, the bases can be fixed to each other by penetrating the rod-shaped core. At the same time, the core can be used to easily center pearls.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. (1) First Embodiment [Configuration] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, two pedestals 2 each having a hemispherical concave portion are provided in a chain unit 1, and a connection that connects the pedestals 2 is provided. The plate 3 is provided integrally. A through hole 2a is formed at the center of the bottom of the pedestal 2. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, when the bottom portions of the pedestals 2 come into contact with each other, the connecting plate 3 is bent to form the loop portions 4 of the chain unit 1. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a rod-shaped core 5 is penetrated through a through hole 2a on the bottom surface of the pedestal 2. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the pearl P is inserted into the core 4 and bonded, and the pearl P is fixed to the pedestal 2. Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, when the pedestals 2 come into contact with each other, the loop portions 4 of the other chains 1 are sandwiched therebetween, and the chains 1 are connected to each other. 6 and 7 are a front view and a perspective view of a state where the pearl P is mounted on the pedestal 2, and FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a state where the pearl P is not mounted on the pedestal 2. [Operation and Effect] In the first embodiment having the above-described configuration, first, the connecting plate 3 is bent so that the bottom portions of the two pedestals 2 are in contact with each other, and the loop portion 4 is formed. And Then, the loop portion 4 of the chain 1 (connection plate 3) is bent so that the bottom portions of the two pedestals 2 are sandwiched from above, thereby forming a loop portion 4. Connect one unit. Further, the pedestals 2 are fixed to each other and the loop portion 4 is closed by penetrating the core 5 into the through hole 2 a in the bottom of the pedestal 2. In the first embodiment as described above, when connecting the chains 1, the loops 4 of the chain 1 can be closed by penetrating the cores 5 between the pedestals 2. No heating process is required. Therefore, the durability is improved, and there is no discoloration and a polishing step is not required. Moreover, in the first embodiment, the pearl P can be easily centered using the core 5 without performing a troublesome operation such as brazing. Furthermore, in the first embodiment, since the connecting portion 3 connecting the pedestals 2 is bent to form the loop portion 4, no member for the loop portion 4 is required, and the number of members can be reduced. Therefore, the production cost can be greatly reduced, which is extremely economically advantageous. Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the longitudinal direction of the core 5 attached to the pedestal 2 is shifted by 90 degrees for each chain unit 1. Therefore, the pearls P fixed to the core 5 are located on the same straight line with every other chain unit 1 being placed, and when viewed from the entire chain, there are four rows of pearls P, that is, four pearls P The necklace or bracelet can be composed. Moreover, since the pearl P is held by the pedestal 2, the pearls P do not directly collide with each other and there is no possibility of being damaged. Furthermore, since the string passed through the pearl P is not twisted, the entire movement is supple and the user can obtain a good fit. (2) Other Embodiments The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, the number of pedestals can be changed as appropriate, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 13. An embodiment in which three pedestals 12 are provided to form a triple pearl P necklace or bracelet is also included. That is, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, three pedestals 12 each having a hemispherical concave portion are radially provided at the distal end of the connecting plate 13 extending in three directions. At the center of each pedestal 12, a through hole 12a is formed. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the connecting plate 13 is bent so that the bottoms of the pedestals 12 are in contact with each other to form the loop portions 14, thereby forming the chain unit 11. At this time, the bottom portion of the pedestal 12 in one chain unit 11 sandwiches the loop portion 14 (connection plate 13) of the other chain unit 11 from above, thereby connecting the other chain unit 11 to one chain unit 11. You can go. Note that a core 15 extending in three directions as shown in FIG. 12 is penetrated through the through hole 12a of each pedestal 12 (see FIG. 13). According to the above embodiment, the same operation and effect as those of the first embodiment can be obtained. Also, the pedestal is not limited to pearls, but can be changed as appropriate, such as corals, jewels, or designed designs.
