DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a personal accessory for wearing on a human body such as a pendant, brooch, necklace, earring, bracelet, etc., and more particularly, to the color and brightness of a jewel, a precious metal or other decorative body provided on the personal accessory. Related to accessories designed to increase

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In addition to enjoying the overall design of jewelry, the jewels provided on the jewelry (this term is used in the present specification to include pseudo jewels) and the decoration and decoration of precious metals and the like are also used. It is well known that they are loved by having fun. For this reason, efforts have been made in the past to increase the color and shine of the decorative body by a polishing technique and a cutting technique. However, the color and brilliance of the decorative body largely depend on the inherent attributes of the material itself, and there is a limit to increasing the color and brilliance by a polishing technique or a cutting technique.

On the other hand, since this kind of color or shine is obtained by light reflection, it is well known that the color or shine changes by changing the angle of the decorative body with respect to external light. In order to cause this phenomenon, there is known an invention in which the decorative body is swung with respect to the body of the accessory (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-25454). In the above-mentioned invention, the swinging motion is obtained by fixing the decorative body to the body of the accessory through a coil spring.
No. 77 is also known.

On the other hand, when attention is paid to the effect of "swinging", the invention in which a decorative body is vertically suspended on an earring fastener (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-25295) or a decorative body is mounted on a broach pin of a broach. An invention vertically swingable (Japanese Utility Model Application No. 2-
No. 74908) is also known.

[0005]

In the above-mentioned prior art, the effect of changing the color and shine of the decorative body is caused by the swing of the decorative body. However, in the former invention in which the decorative body is fixed to the body of the accessory through a coil spring, a considerable acceleration must be generated in the accessory in order for the decorative body to swing against the elasticity of the coil spring, As a result, there is a problem that the desired swinging does not occur unless the human body wearing the jewelry moves quickly and largely. Further, for the above reason, the amplitude of the swing is large, and the change in the color and shine of the decorative body is monotonous. At present, it did not lead to the subtle phenomenon of increased brightness.

[0006] On the other hand, in the latter invention, the objects on which the decorative body is swingably erected are the earring fasteners and the broach pins, which are members much smaller in mass than the decorative body. As a result, the body can perform only a swinging motion that is not much different from the case where it is directly suspended on the human body, the amplitude of the swing is large, and in the case of the broach pin, the swinging accessory comes into contact with the human body, Changes in color and shine of the decoration are monotonous immediately, and the visual appeal of the decoration oscillating greatly is obtained, but the color and shine of the decoration do not increase. That was the current situation.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and has a window provided at the center of a body portion of an accessory made of a rigid body to be worn on a body. A decorative body having a mass smaller than that of the main body portion is provided inside the window and vertically suspended at a position forward of a rear end of the main body portion so as to be freely vibrated.

The inventor of the present application makes the reflected light change little by little by vibrating a jewel or a precious metal with a very small amplitude, so that the reflected light changes with the afterimage effect of the viewer, which is incomparable to the case where the gimbal or the precious metal is rocked with a large amplitude. A change in color and brightness was obtained, and as a result, a phenomenon in which these increased was found.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIGS. 1 to 4 are views showing an example of the accessory of the present invention. Here, a pendant is assumed as the accessory, but the type of the accessory is not limited to this, and may be a broach, a necklace, an earring, a bracelet, or the like. Of course, it is good. Symbol 1 in the figure
Is a main body portion of the accessory, which is made of metal here as a rigid body, and is configured in a donut shape having a through-hole 2 provided in the center. Although the window 2 is illustrated here as penetrating the main body 1, the window 2 may have a hollow shape without penetrating. Reference numeral 4 in the figure denotes a circular ring portion for suspending the main body 1 as a pendant top on a suspending tool 5 such as a chain, and the upper part of the main body (in the present specification, when the accessory is attached to a human body). The upper side is defined as “upper” and the lower side is defined as “lower.”). Here, a plurality of jewels 3 are arranged on the surface of the main body 1 as buckwheat stones, but this is, of course, not an essential requirement of the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 7 denotes a decorative body, and here, it is assumed that a jewel 10 is fitted into a metal stone seat 8, but the configuration of the decorative body 7 is not limited to this, and for example, it is a jewel. Of course, a precious metal may be used instead.
Here, the stone seat 8 is formed in a ring shape, and shaft holes 9 and 9 for a shaft described below are formed in two places on the way, and a jewel 10 is fitted on the surface. The mass of the decorative body is set smaller than the mass of the main body 1 described above.

Reference numeral 6 in the drawing denotes a shaft for hanging the decorative body 7 on the main body 1 of the accessory. The shaft 6 is made of a metal curved in an arc shape in a direction to be a lower side of the main body portion, and has shaft holes 9, 9 provided in a stone seat 8 of the decorative body 7.
The decorative body 7 is suspended from the window 2 by hanging the window 2 on the left and right sides of the main body 1. Thereby, the decorative body 7 is settled by the gravity on the bottom portion of the curved shaft 6, and the body portion 1 swings,
Alternatively, it vibrates slightly in the left-right direction. In this case, in order to prevent the hanging decorative body 7 from protruding behind the rear end of the main body portion 1 of the accessory and contacting the human body to prevent the vibration, the decorative body 7 is positioned at the rear end of the main body portion. The X distance must be kept forward, so that the shaft 6
Is hung near the front of the main body (see FIG. 4).

[0012]

The present invention having the above configuration has the following specific effects. Since the decorative body is vertically suspended from the main body of the accessory without any intervening spring, it vibrates in response to a slight movement of the main body. In the above case, the body part on which the decorative body is suspended is made of a rigid body having a larger mass than the decorative body, so that the behavior of the wearer's body does not directly act on the decorative body, but first acts as a swing on the body part of the accessory. After that, the shaking of the main body part now acts on the decorative body as the shaking. Therefore, even if the behavior of the wearer's body is slow and large, the swing of the body part of the accessory is smaller than that, and the swing of the decorative body is smaller, so that the swing of the decorative body is a vibration having a fine amplitude. Become. On the other hand, since the body part of the accessory is attached to the human body via a mounting member (in the embodiment, a hanging device such as a chain),
The degree of freedom of swing is low, and even if it swings, it will be immediately attenuated by touching the human body.However, a decorative body with a smaller mass that is suspended from the rigid body will continue to vibrate due to inertia. Will be done. Due to the above-mentioned effects, in the present invention, the decoration body vibrates with a very small amplitude just by causing a slight shaking in the main body due to a slight behavior of the wearer's body, and furthermore, this fine vibration does not touch the human body. Since the continuation is continued, the reflected light changes little by little and the afterimage effect of the viewer is combined, so that a change in color and brightness that is incomparable to the case of swinging with a large amplitude can be obtained. Therefore, for example, even if the wearer utters only, the decorative body vibrates slightly and its color and shine increase, so that an ornament with extremely high aesthetic effect can be obtained.
