Description

The present invention relates to a necklace with a coin-shaped pendant top and a decorative frame used to decorate this type of necklace.

Necklaces with coin-shaped pendant tops (so-called "coin necklaces") have been known for a long time. In a coin necklace, a metal fitting (so-called "Vatican") for inserting a necklace chain is generally attached to the top of the coin (pendant top). The insertion part of the Vatican allows the necklace chain to be passed along a plane parallel to the coin, allowing the coin to be stored in the chest without tilting. This type of coin necklace is disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example.

Utility Model Publication No. 5-084215

In conventional coin necklaces, the overall design of the necklace is improved by enhancing the design of the coin itself or the combination of the coin and the necklace chain. On the other hand, the need for further improvement and diversification of the design of coin necklaces has been increasing in recent years.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to effectively realize improvement and diversification of the design of a necklace with a coin-shaped pendant top.

One aspect of the present invention is a necklace comprising a coin-shaped pendant top suspended by a necklace chain, and an insertion fitting attached to the top of the pendant top for passing the necklace chain, the necklace comprising: The decorative frame further includes a decorative frame surrounding the pendant top, the decorative frame having a frame main body portion spaced apart from the pendant top in the radial direction, and an insertion portion for passing the necklace chain that is connected to the frame. It is characterized by being provided in series on the top of the main body.

The necklace according to the present invention exhibits a unique and highly designed design through the combination of the coin-shaped pendant top and the decorative frame. In addition, just by passing one necklace chain through the insertion fitting attached to the top of the pendant top and the insertion part provided in series at the top of the frame body of the decorative frame, the pendant top and decorative frame can be connected. can be easily combined. Therefore, by preparing a plurality of types of pendant tops and a plurality of types of decorative frames, various combinations of pendant tops and decorative frames can be easily realized. As a result, the design of the necklace can be diversified effectively.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing a necklace according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a front view and a back view showing a decorative frame of the same necklace. It is a perspective view which expands and shows the insertion part of the same decoration frame, and its surrounding area. FIG. 2 is a front view showing an example of a circular inner circumference type decorative frame. FIG. 2 is a front view showing an example of a non-circular inner circumference type decorative frame. FIG. 7 is a front view showing another example of a non-circular inner periphery type decorative frame.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the following description is essentially just an example, and is not intended to limit the present invention, its applications, or its uses.

As shown in the front view of FIG. 1, the necklace 1 according to the present embodiment includes a coin-shaped pendant top 4 suspended by a necklace chain 2, and a Vatican 6 as an insertion fitting for passing the necklace chain 2 through. We are prepared. Thereby, the necklace 1 constitutes a kind of coin necklace.

In this embodiment, the pendant top 4 has, for example, a circular outline. The pendant top 4 is made of metal, for example. Both sides of the pendant top 4 are provided with a pattern, for example, by engraving. One side and the other side of the pendant top 4 are provided with different patterns.

However, the structure of the pendant top 4 can be changed as appropriate as long as it is coin-shaped. For example, the outline of the pendant top 4 may be a shape other than circular, such as an oval, an oval, or a polygon. The structure regarding the pattern of the pendant top 4 is also arbitrary, and the same pattern may be applied to both sides, or one or both sides may be plain. The material of the pendant top 4 is also arbitrary and is not limited to metal.

The Vatican 6 is attached to the top of the pendant top 4 (the upper end of the outer peripheral surface) via, for example, a ring-shaped connecting portion 5. More specifically, the Vatican 6 is swingably attached to a connecting portion 5 fixed to the top of the pendant top 4. A portion of the necklace chain 2 that is passed through the Vatican 6 extends along the surface on which the pendant top 4 is arranged. As the Vatican 6, for example, a general-purpose item may be used. Vatican 6 has the same structure as before. Therefore, a detailed explanation regarding the structure of Vatican 6 will be omitted.

The necklace 1 according to the present embodiment further includes a decorative frame (also referred to as a "jacket") 10 surrounding the pendant top 4. Thereby, the combination of the pendant top 4 and the decorative frame 10 exhibits a unique and high design quality.

The decorative frame 10 includes a frame main body part 12 arranged at intervals on the outside of the pendant top 4 in the radial direction, and an insertion part 16 through which the necklace chain 2 is passed. The insertion portion 16 is provided in series with the top portion (upper end portion) of the frame body portion 12 .

The frame main body 12 forms an open space 15 at a circumferential position corresponding to the Vatican 6 and extends continuously over the circumferential region excluding the open space 15. That is, the frame main body portion 12 is formed in a generally C-shape that is open upward. Thereby, interference between the frame main body part 12, the Vatican 6, and the connecting part 5 is avoided.

Although the frame main body 12 in this embodiment is provided so as to be interrupted in the circumferential direction at the open space 15, there is a through hole as an open space at one point of the frame main body that extends continuously over the entire circumference. A hole may be provided. In this case, the through hole serving as the open space may be provided such that interference between the frame main body, the Vatican 6, and the connecting portion 5 can be avoided.

The frame main body portion 12 is made of metal, for example. However, the material of the frame body portion 12 is not particularly limited. At least the surface of the frame body 12 may be made of the same or similar material and/or color as the surface of the pendant top 4, thereby achieving a harmonious design between the pendant top 4 and the frame body 12. It will be done.

The inner periphery 13 of the frame main body 12 is arranged to face the outer periphery of the pendant top 4 with a space therebetween. The inner periphery 13 and outer periphery 14 of the frame main body portion 12 may each have an arbitrarily shaped contour. For example, in the frame main body 12 shown in FIG. 1, the inner periphery 13 has a generally circular outline although it is interrupted by an open space 15, and the outer periphery 14 has a generally octagonal outline although it is interrupted by an open space 15. It has an outline of

In this embodiment, the texture of one surface 12a of the frame main body 12 shown in FIG. 2(a) and the texture of the other surface 12b of the frame main body 12 shown in FIG. 2(b) are different from each other. Different examples are given, in which one surface 12a has a glossy texture and the other surface 12b has a matte texture. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one side may be decorated with jewelry, patterns, etc., and the other side may not be decorated, or only one side may be displayed. good.

Thereby, different designs can be exhibited depending on the mounting direction of the decorative frame 10. Therefore, the user can arbitrarily select a combination of each surface of the pendant top 4 and each surface of the frame main body 12 according to the design preference, and make the necklace so that the surface of the selected combination is the front side. 1 can be worn.

One surface 12a of the frame main body 12 shown in FIG. 2(a) has been subjected to the first surface treatment, and the other surface 12b of the frame main body 12 shown in FIG. 2(b) has been subjected to the first surface treatment. A second surface treatment different from the first surface treatment is applied.

The first surface treatment may be, for example, a mirror finish, and the second surface treatment may be, for example, a hammered finish. However, the types of the first surface treatment and the second surface treatment, and the combination of these types are arbitrary. Examples of types that can be adopted as the first surface treatment and the second surface treatment include mirror finish, hammered finish, satin finish, and smoked finish.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the insertion portion 16 includes a pair of opposing pieces 17 and 18 that are arranged to face each other with the Vatican 6 in between, and a pair of opposing pieces that allow the necklace chain 2 to pass through. Through holes 17a and 18a are provided in holes 17 and 18, respectively.

The pair of opposing pieces 17 and 18 are provided so as to extend parallel to each other toward the outside in the radial direction from both sides of the frame body 12 with the open space 15 interposed therebetween. The pair of opposing pieces 17 and 18 are, for example, provided integrally with the frame body 12. The outer shape of each of the facing pieces 17, 18 and the through holes 17a, 18a each have, for example, a generally circular outline. That is, the opposing pieces 17 and 18 are formed in a ring shape as a whole.

The two through holes 17a and 18a are arranged on the same axis and have the same diameter. The axial direction of the through holes 17a and 18a is arranged at right angles to the radial direction in the open space 15 of the frame main body 12 and the axial direction of the frame main body 12. The two through holes 17a and 18a are arranged so as to sandwich the insertion portion of the necklace chain 2 in the Vatican 6.

With the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 1, one necklace chain 2 can be passed through the two through holes 17a and 18a in the insertion portion 16 of the decorative frame 10 and the Vatican 6 at once. Thereby, the user can wear the necklace 1 with the pendant top 4 decorated with the decorative frame 10.

The necklace 1 according to the present embodiment may include a pendant top group consisting of a plurality of types of pendant tops 4 having mutually different designs, and a frame group consisting of a plurality of types of decorative frames 10 having mutually different designs. In this case, one pendant top 4 arbitrarily selected from the above pendant top group and one decorative frame 10 arbitrarily selected from the above frame group may be used in combination.

Specifically, the plurality of types of pendant tops 4 constituting the above-mentioned pendant top group have different designs, such as patterns, colors, contour shapes, sizes, and/or combinations thereof. On the other hand, in the plurality of types of decorative frames 10 constituting the above-mentioned frame group, the design consists of the shape, size, color, texture (surface treatment), presence or absence of decoration, and/or combinations of these, etc. of the frame main body 12. are different from each other.

The combination of the pendant top 4 and the decorative frame 10 as described above can be easily realized by simply passing one necklace chain 2 through the Vatican 6 and the insertion portion 16 as described above. In this way, various combinations of the pendant top 4 and the decorative frame 10 can be easily realized, and the design of the necklace 1 can be effectively diversified.

In addition, when the patterns on one side and the other side of each pendant top 4 constituting the pendant top group are different from each other, the design of the necklace 1 can be changed by selectively switching the front side of the pendant top 4. Gender diversity will further improve.

Similarly, in each decorative frame 10 constituting a frame group, when the textures of one surface 12a and the other surface 12b of the frame main body 12 are different from each other, as shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b). By selectively switching the front surface of the frame main body 12, the design diversity of the necklace 1 is further improved.

Specific examples 10A to 10D of the decorative frames 10 constituting the frame group are shown in FIGS. 2, 4, 5, and 6.

In the decorative frame 10A shown in FIG. 2, as described above, the frame main body portion 12 is formed to have a substantially circular inner circumference 13 and a substantially octagonal outer circumference 14. In the decorative frame 10B shown in FIG. 4(a), the frame main body portion 12 is formed to have a substantially circular inner circumference 13 and a substantially circular outer circumference 14. In the decorative frame 10C shown in FIG. 5(a), the frame main body portion 12 is formed to have a substantially square inner circumference 13 and a substantially square outer circumference 14. In the decorative frame 10D shown in FIG. 6(a), the frame main body 12 is formed to have a substantially pentagonal inner circumference 13 and a substantially pentagonal outer circumference 14.

As described above, the types of decorative frames 10 constituting the frame group include, for example, decorative frames 10A and 10B shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, in which the inner periphery 13 of the frame main body 12 has a substantially circular outline. A circular inner periphery type and a non-circular inner periphery type in which the inner periphery 13 of the frame main body 12 has an outline different from a circle as in the decorative frames 10C and 10D shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are included.

When circular inner circumference type decorative frames 10A and 10B are used, the inner circumference 13 of the frame main body 12 is arranged along the outer circumference of the pendant top 4 over the entire circumference length, so that the pendant top 4 and the decoration are A design that emphasizes the sense of unity with the frame 10 can be obtained (see FIGS. 1 and 4(b)).

Furthermore, the circular inner periphery type includes a type in which the outline of the outer periphery 14 of the frame main body 12 has a shape different from a circle, such as the decorative frame 10A shown in FIG. This includes a type in which the outline of the outer periphery 14 of the frame main body 12 is also approximately circular.

In the former type of decorative frame 10A, the sense of unity between the pendant top 4 and the decorative frame 10 is emphasized, and the outline of the outer periphery 14 of the frame body 12 has a shape different from that of the pendant top 4, so that it is unique. This provides a unique design (see Figure 1). In the latter type of decorative frame 10B, the outer periphery 14 of the frame main body 12 is also approximately circular, thereby exhibiting a design that further emphasizes the sense of unity between the pendant top 4 and the decorative frame 10. (See Figure 4(b)).

When decorative frames 10C and 10D of a non-circular inner periphery type are used, the presence of the decorative frame 10 is minimized because the outline of the inner periphery 13 of the frame main body 12 has a non-circular shape different from the outline of the pendant top 4. It exhibits a unique design that makes it stand out (see Fig. 5(b) and Fig. 6(b)).

Furthermore, the decorative frame 10 may have various shapes other than the illustrated example. Furthermore, in the decorative frame 10 of each shape, the appearance of one surface 12a of the frame main body 12 and the appearance of the other surface 12b may be different from each other (see FIG. 2). By selectively combining the decorative frame 10 having such various appearances with the pendant top 4, the design of the necklace 1 can be effectively diversified.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the above-mentioned embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. can be changed as appropriate.
