Description

  The present invention relates to a continuous type necklace formed by connecting a large number of balls such as pearls.

  Necklaces with short lengths, such as chokers, princesses and matinees (which are the length names used primarily in pearl necklaces) cannot be worn around the neck like a rope necklace. For this reason, a ream (a large number of balls connected through a thread or the like) is formed in a straight line, and both ends of the ream are detachably connected.

  Connections at both ends of the series are made using various fasteners.

  In the case of a neck chain, a pulling ring and a plate to be hung on the ring are often used as a fastener, but since a necklace of a continuous type uses a pulling ring etc., the seam is conspicuous and the decorative effect is impaired, Often used are clasps such as folded clasps, with decorative bodies attached to the design points, and joints that can be carried on the front and sides.

  In any case, the conventionally used fastener is a pair of male and female fasteners, and the male and female fasteners are attached to one end and the other end of the series.

  The length of ready-made necklaces is fixed. For example, the choker shown in FIG. 8A of the pearl necklace A is about 35 cm in length, the princess in FIG. 8B is about 40 to 43 cm, the matine in FIG. The d) opera is about 71 cm. As shown in Fig. 8 (a), the choker fits snugly around the neck, and the impression when the line is lowered and worn in the order of princess, matinee, and opera is different. However, this impression varies depending on the user's physique and neck thickness. For example, a person with a narrow neck looks like a princess when wearing a choker, and the princess may give the impression of a matinee. Conversely, if a person with a thick neck wears a matinee, it will look like a princess, and the princess may look like a choker.

  As described above, if the impression changes depending on the user's physique and neck thickness, it may not be possible to harmonize with the clothes worn.

  Therefore, the length adjustment of the continuous type necklace was examined. If the length can be adjusted freely, it is possible to prevent changes in impression due to differences in neck thickness, and it is also possible to use one necklace in several forms.

  However, since the both ends of a conventional continuous type necklace are connected using male and female fasteners, the length cannot be changed.

  Some neck chains can be adjusted in length with an adjuster (also a chain), but in the case of a chain type necklace, the adjuster for the neck chain has a strong sense of incongruity and detracts from aesthetics. Therefore it is difficult to use.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to adjust the length (ring length) of the continuous type necklace without impairing the beauty.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a hook that can open and close the entrance is provided at one end of a linearly formed series, and the hook is placed at an arbitrary position on the other end side of the series. One end of the ream is detachably connected to the other end side by hanging on the constriction between the balls.

  If it does in this way, the position which hooks can be changed, and the length of a ring can be freely changed in multiple steps at the same pitch as the arrangement pitch of a constriction part.

  Also, when hooks are hung in the middle of the series, a part of the series hangs outside the ring, and the design changes, giving a novel feeling.

Here, the hook has an inner diameter smaller than the diameter of the ball, and is configured by a pair of semi-annular members connected to be openable and closable, and mutually adsorbs to the open end of each semi-annular member. It is assumed that a permanent magnet is attached.

  In addition, the hook may be formed of a soft resin cord that is folded in half, and permanent magnets that adsorb each other may be attached to both ends of the cord.

Moreover, as a hook , the convex part may be provided in the vicinity of the open side front end.

  The balls used are preferably pearls. Pearls are easy to obtain because of their well-established aquaculture technology, and are preferred by everyone. In addition, since the pearl is almost a sphere, the hook can be smoothly detached.

  It is also preferable to attach a decorative body to the hook. When the decorative body is attached, the hook becomes inconspicuous, and the decorative body becomes a design point, increasing the gorgeousness of the necklace.

  In the necklace of the present invention, a hook capable of opening and closing the entrance is attached to one end of the series, and the hook is hung on the constriction between the balls on the other end side of the series. The length of the ring can be adjusted, so that people with thick necks and thin people can use ready-made products in a nice-looking manner, and depending on the length of the chain, one necklace can be used as a choker. , Princess, Matinee, etc. can be used properly.

  Also, the design of the necklace is different when you connect the ends of the ream and when you connect the middle, so you can enjoy changing the design of the same necklace.

Furthermore, the hook can be opened and closed simply by attaching and detaching the permanent magnet, and therefore, the hooking operation under the chin or behind the neck which is particularly difficult to see can be performed very easily.

  In addition, when a decorative body is attached to the hook, the gorgeousness increases.

  1 and 2 show an embodiment of the necklace of the present invention. The necklace shown in the figure is a pearl necklace using pearls 1.

  The thread 2 is passed through a small hole (not shown) drilled in the center of the pearl, and the thread 2 connects a large number of pearls 1 in a row to form a series 3. One end of the thread 2 is fastened with a retaining ring 4, and the other end is covered with a cap-shaped ornament 5 attached to the pearl at one end of the ream 3 after being prevented from coming off.

  Here, in order to improve the appearance, a silver decorative ball 6 is suspended from the retaining ring 4, but the decorative ball 6 is not essential.

  Moreover, although the silk 2 used the silk thread, you may substitute with a nylon thread | yarn or a supple wire.

  The decorative metal fitting 5 is a metal fitting with a hole, and a hook 12 is attached to the metal fitting 5.

As shown in FIG. 4, the hook 12 is of a folding type, and maintains the closed state of the mouth by adsorbing a permanent magnet 12 b of different polarity attached to the tip of the semi-annular member 12 a. A convex portion 12c is provided in the vicinity of the tip of the semi-annular member 12a.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the hook 12 is hung on the constriction 8 between the pearls on the other end side of the series 3 to connect the series, and the series 3 is made into a ring.

When the hook 12 is detached from the constricted portion 8, the hook 12 is opened by pulling the semi-annular members 12a away from each other against the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 12b at the open end. At this time, it is easy to open by hooking a fingertip on the convex portion 12c. When the hook 12 is brought to the constricted portion 8 in that state and the semi-annular member 12a is picked in the closing direction, the permanent magnet 12a is again magnetized and the hook 12 is closed. Therefore, the hook 12 is unlikely to come off naturally when it is hung on the constricted portion 8.

  Further, a decorative body 9 with pearls is attached to the hook 12 by brazing. The decorative body in the figure has a flower pattern, but the pattern may be arbitrarily determined. Bringing this decorative body 9 to the front or side increases the gorgeousness of the necklace. In FIG. 4, the decorative body 9 is omitted.

  In the necklace which becomes like this, as shown in FIG. 2, when the position where the hook 12 is hung is shifted from the other end of the series, a part of the series 3 hangs down to the outside of the ring, and a novel feeling is born.

  The length of the ring can be adjusted in multiple stages according to the arrangement pitch of the constricted portions 8, so even if the neck thickness of the user varies, a ring of a size suitable for each user is formed. And can improve the appearance.

  The example necklace has an overall length (48-49 cm) between the princess and Matinee. If the neck size is a standard person, the choker, princess, It can be properly used in three forms of matinee.

FIG. 5 shows a modification of the hook provided at one end of the series.

The hook 13 shown in FIG. 5 is one in which a string 13a of soft resin (polyethylene, nylon, etc.) is folded in two, and both ends of the string are detachably connected by a magnet 13b .

  The present invention can be suitably used for a pearl necklace.
