Embodiment of the invention

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this embodiment, a case where the jewel is a pearl will be described for convenience.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a necklace coupling fitting according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 (a) is a side view as viewed from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 (b) is a side view as viewed from the direction of arrow B in FIG. 1, and FIG. 2 is a side view as seen from the direction of arrow C in FIG.

The necklace fitting includes two (a pair of) housing members 11 each having a substantially hemispherical hollow shape capable of housing a pearl. The accommodation member 11 has a hemispherical shape here, but is not particularly limited as long as it can accommodate a jewel such as a pearl. The two housing members 11 are attached by a hinge 12 and can be opened and closed about the hinge 12.

Further, each of the accommodating members 11 is formed with three notches 15a, 15b, and 15c. The positions of these notches 15a, 15b, 15c are such that the two notches 15a, 15b are located on both sides of the hinge 12 and the one notch 15c is located on the opposite side of the hinge 12. Is provided.

Therefore, this necklace connection metal fitting can also be used as a normal connection metal fitting (so-called clasp). That is, the cutout portion 15c is located on the opposite side of the hinge portion 12 and accommodates the male locking portion or the female locking portion attached to the other end of the necklace, and is formed by a method as shown in FIG. However, each necklace can be used alone, and the shape in that case will not be distorted. Of course, not only the male locking portion or the female locking portion but also one of the pearls at the end may be simultaneously accommodated in the necklace coupling metal fitting.

Notch portions 15a and 15b are provided between the hinge portion 12 and the notch portion 15c of the housing member 11, respectively. The notches 15a and 15b are provided at positions facing each other. In other words, the necklace coupling metal fitting is attached to one of the pearls located at a desired position of another necklace, symmetrically positioned with respect to the center of the housing member 11 so as to ride on a straight line passing through the center of the housing member 11. Occasionally, the pearl will pass through the center of the necklace fitting, preventing the combined necklace from being eccentric.

As shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C, the cutouts 15a, 15b, and 15c are holes having a size large enough to insert at least the thread portion of the necklace when the two housing members 11a and 11b are closed. Parts must be formed. Also, in a normal pearl necklace, since each pearl is extremely adjacent, if the distance between the pearl with the necklace connecting bracket and the pearls on both sides is more than necessary due to the thickness of the housing member Is extremely dangerous because of the strain on the yarn. Therefore, it must be large enough to allow the pearls on both sides to enter. Considering these points, the diameter of the hole is preferably in the range of about 5 to 10 mmφ.

Also, the size of the housing member 11 itself depends on the size of the pearl, since it is naturally necessary to be able to store the pearl. In addition, in order to be used as a clasp as described above, it must be large enough to accommodate a male locking portion and a female locking portion attached to the other end of the necklace.

A support frame 13 is attached to the hinge 12, and a ring 14, which is an annular member, is slidably inserted through the support frame 13. Therefore, the annulus 14 can slide freely in the direction of the arrow as shown in FIG. By providing the slidable ring 14 in this manner, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when combining two necklaces, the position of the ring 14 can be moved as necessary. It is possible to prevent the necklace from being distorted or deformed.

  The opening and closing of the housing members 11a and 11b is used between the notch 15a and the notch 15c of each of the housing members 11a and 11b and between the notch 15b and the notch 15c. A knob 16 is provided. As shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C, the knobs 16a and 16b are provided at positions where they face each other when the two housing members 11a and 11b are closed. The knobs 16a and 16b have the same length and are provided at symmetrical positions with respect to the hinge portion 12, respectively. The length and number of the knobs 16a and 16b are not particularly limited, and the knobs may have different lengths as long as the housing members 11a and 11b can be opened and closed. It does not have to be provided.

Next, a necklace having a necklace coupling fitting having the above configuration will be described. FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B are views showing a pearl necklace having a necklace coupling fitting according to an embodiment of the present invention. Here, a case where the white pearl necklace 21 and the black pearl necklace 22 are used in combination will be described.

3 (a) and 3 (b), a white pearl necklace 21 is formed by connecting a plurality of white pearls with a thread, one end of which is attached with the above-described necklace coupling 23, and a clasp at the other end. One of the male locking portions 21a is attached. The black pearl necklace 22 is formed by connecting a plurality of black pearls with a thread, the above-described necklace coupling metal fitting 23 is attached to one end thereof, and the other female clasp 22a of the clasp is provided at the other end. Installed.

As shown in FIG. 8, the male locking portion 21 a of the white pearl necklace 21 and the female locking portion 22 a of the black pearl necklace 22 constitute one clasp Y. The attachments are attracted to each other by magnetic force, and a locking projection 21b is provided on the male locking portion 21a, and a locking groove 22b is formed on the female locking portion 22a. The stop projection 21b is engaged with the locking groove 22b and relatively rotated in the direction of the arrow to lock both. Of course, the clasp used in the present invention is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 7, but can be used to connect the white pearl necklace 21 and the black pearl necklace, and is housed in the necklace connecting bracket 23 of the present invention. Any shape may be used as long as it can be obtained.

In the combination necklace shown in FIG. 4, the male locking portion 21a of the white pearl necklace and the female locking portion 22a of the black pearl necklace are connected to each other, and after the two necklaces are connected to one, it is called short toner. The intermediate portion is put together by a ring-shaped stopper 24. In this case, the necklace coupling fittings 23 and 24 according to the present invention are located at the lower end of the necklace and play a role as decoration fittings.

  In the combination necklace shown in FIG. 5, the necklace connecting bracket 23 of the white pearl necklace 21 is attached to one black pearl at a desired position among the plurality of black pearls 22 c of the black pearl necklace 22. The necklace 22 is attached to one of the white pearls 21c of the white pearl necklace 21 at a desired position, and the male locking portion 21a and the black pearl of the white pearl necklace 21 are further attached. The female-type engaging portion 22a of the necklace is joined to serve as a clasp. In addition, as described above, the short toner 24 collects the intermediate portion.

A portion X where the white pearl necklace 21 is attached to the black pearl necklace 22 has a structure as shown in FIG. That is, when attaching the necklace coupling metal fittings 23 of the white pearl necklace 21 to the black pearl 22c of the black pearl necklace 22, first, the housing members 11a and 11b are opened using the knobs 16a and 16b. Then, the housing members 11a and 11b are covered with a specific black pearl 22c and closed. At this time, the thread of the black pearl necklace 22 passes through the holes formed by the cutouts 15a and 15b of the housing members 11a and 11b. Similarly, the necklace connecting bracket 23 of the black pearl necklace 22 is attached to the white pearl 21c of the white pearl necklace 21. In this case, in the necklace in which the pearls are adjacent to each other, the pearls on both sides enter the cutouts.

Also, when the white pearl necklace 21 is attached to the black pearl necklace 22 with the necklace coupling hardware 23, the ring 14 slides downward due to the weight of the white pearl necklace 21. Thereby, as shown by the arrow, the distance between the white pearl necklace 21 and the black pearl necklace 22 is shortened (both necklaces are adjacent). For this reason, even if the white pearl necklace 21 and the black pearl necklace 22 are combined to form a double necklace, the necklace does not have an irregular shape.

  When the white pearl necklace 21 or the black pearl necklace 22 is used alone, the male-type locking portion 21a of the white pearl necklace 21 or the female-type locking portion 22a of the black pearl necklace 22 is accommodated in the necklace coupling metal fitting 23. . That is, the housing members 11a and 11b are opened using the knobs 16a and 16b, and the housing members 11a and 11b are closed by covering the male locking portion 21a or the female locking portion 22a. At this time, the thread of the white pearl necklace 21 or the black pearl necklace 22 is inserted through the hole formed by the cutout 15c of the housing members 11a and 11b. For this reason, the necklace coupling metal fitting 23 can be used as a normal clasp. In this case, the shape of the necklace is not distorted because the direction of the pearl chain is located on the side facing the support frame 13. Of course, if the housing members 11a and 11b have sufficient size, not only the male locking portion 21a or the female locking portion 22a, but also one of the pearls at the end can be stored at the same time. You can also adjust the length.

  The fact that such a usage is possible has a great significance in a pearl necklace. That is, only the white pearl necklace can be used for weddings, and only the black pearl necklace can be used for funerals.

In addition, even when the necklace connecting bracket 23 is attached to any of the white pearl 21c and the black pearl 22c and used as a double necklace combined with the white pearl necklace 21 and the black pearl necklace 22, the length can be freely adjusted. Can be changed. Further, the female locking portion 22a of the black pearl necklace 22 is accommodated in the necklace coupling metal 23 of the white pearl necklace 21, and the male locking portion 21a of the white pearl necklace 21 is accommodated in the necklace coupling metal 23 of the black pearl necklace 22. And a single long necklace can be realized.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but can be implemented with various modifications. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the jewel is a pearl is described, but the present invention discloses that the jewel is a jewel other than a pearl, for example, imitation pearl, coral, amber, lapis la juli, onyx, quartz, The same applies to malachite and their imitation stones.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, one cutout portion of the housing member 11 is provided on the opposite side of the hinge portion 12 (15c), and two cutout portions (15a, 15b) are provided between the hinge portion 12 and the cutout portion 15c. Although only the case in which the notch is provided is described, if one notch (15c) is provided on the opposite side of the hinge part 12, the position of the other notch is not particularly limited. Absent.

In the above embodiment, the case where the male locking portion 21a is attached to the white pearl necklace 21 and the female locking portion 22a is attached to the black pearl necklace 22 is described. As a matter of course, a female locking portion may be attached to a white pearl necklace, and a male locking portion may be attached to a black pearl necklace.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, a case is described in which a combination necklace is realized by combining the white pearl necklace 21 and the black pearl necklace 22. However, in the present invention, colors other than black pearls, for example, gray, yellow, Pearl necklaces such as pink and green may be used, and necklaces of the same color may be combined with each other.
