JPH06105703A - Manufacture of ornament in form of ball chain made by combination of gold and platinum - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide at a low cost an ornament in the form of a ball chain which is hard to break and freely curves by continuously manufacturing balls while selecting as necessary either gold or platinum which are combined together. CONSTITUTION:A ball chain is formed comprising a plurality of approximately ball-shaped pieces 4, which are each formed of a plate body 1 comprising gold 2 stacked on top of platinum 3 and are connected together by means of connecting portions 6 one part of which is flexibly enclosed in the pieces 4, the surface of each piece 4 being formed by either the gold 2 or the platinum 3; the metal which forms the surface of one of the approximately ball-shaped pieces 4 which is located in a selected position is cut at a desired plane and thereby removed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ball chain-like ornament which is hard to cut and can be bent, and which can be continuously manufactured by appropriately selecting any combination of gold and platinum. The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a ball chain-shaped ornament.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a ball-shaped object made of gold and platinum is arbitrarily combined to form a chain-shaped ornament such as a necklace or bracelet, a through hole is formed at the center of each ball-shaped object made of gold and platinum. After being opened, a substantially linear core material is inserted through these through holes to form a so-called beads shape to form a chain-shaped ornament of this kind.

[0003]

However, in the case of forming a chain-like ornament in this way, it is troublesome since each through hole is opened, and a substantially linear core material itself is used. Because it must be done, it is easy to cut,
The combination of gold and platinum is also troublesome and expensive as a whole because the operator appropriately selects and combines each time when inserting the core material.

In view of the above-mentioned problems and the like, the present invention is a ball-chain-like ornament that is hard to cut and can be bent, and is manufactured continuously by appropriately selecting an arbitrary combination of gold and platinum. , Was created as an issue to be able to provide it at a low price as a whole.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a plurality of substantially ball-shaped objects each having a metal surface of which is either gold or platinum are formed from a plate body in which gold and platinum are stacked. Form a ball chain that is partly bent and connected to form a ball chain, and remove the metal that forms the surface of any of these approximately ball-shaped objects at any selected position by appropriately cutting the surface. By doing so, the above-mentioned problems are solved.

[0006]

In the method of manufacturing the combination ball-chain-shaped ornament of gold and platinum according to the present invention, first, the metal of either gold or platinum constitutes the surface from the plate body in which gold and platinum are stacked. Since each of the plurality of substantially ball-shaped objects thus formed includes a part thereof flexibly enclosed and connected to form a ball chain, it is possible to manufacture a machine in a series of steps.

Next, the metal forming the surface of the selected ball-shaped object at any selected position is appropriately cut to remove the metal, and a combination of gold and platinum is added to the ball-chain-shaped decoration. Since the products are manufactured,
It is not necessary for the operator to select and combine the combination of gold and platinum each time when inserting the core material each time, and it can be done simply by giving the surface cutting instruction to the machine that performs the appropriate surface cutting. However, it can be done by an automatic process.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

That is, FIG. 1 shows a process chart of an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 (A) shows a ball chain N.
Fig. 2 shows a plate body 1 in which gold 2 and platinum 3 are stacked as a material for manufacturing a sheet, and the plate body 1 is supplied to an existing continuous ball chain manufacturing machine (not shown) to 1
As shown in (B), a plurality of substantially ball-shaped objects 4 each of which is made of metal whose surface is made of gold 2 are partly bendably included to form a ball chain N.

Then, at this time point, all the substantially ball-shaped objects 4 have a golden color in appearance.

Then, next, in the case of an arbitrary position selected from the above-mentioned substantially ball-shaped objects 4, in the case shown in FIG. Existing surface cutting device (not shown)
Thus, the polyhedron 5 is formed by appropriately cutting the surface and deleting it. At this time, if the surface is cut so as to remove the gold 2, the platinum 3 is also slightly cut and removed, and the polyhedron 5 having only the platinum 3 is formed.

Therefore, the ball chain N thus formed is a continuous ball chain-like ornament in which gold and silver are alternately combined and only silver is a polyhedron.

In this case, as another embodiment, although not shown, if expressed as a combination of colors, gold, gold, silver, gold, gold, silver, silver, gold, silver, silver, gold gold , Various combinations of gold, silver, silver, gold, gold, silver, silver, etc. are possible. What combination of these can be used if the surface cutting device is instructed to continuously perform surface cutting. Can be manufactured.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the gold 2 is used as the metal constituting the surface, but the opposite may be adopted.

However, the surface-cut polyhedron has a more beautiful silver color, which is the color of platinum 3, and the hardness of platinum 3 is harder than that of gold 2. It is more desirable for the decorative article to use the above as a metal constituting the surface.

Reference numeral 6 in the drawing denotes a connecting portion which is a part of the substantially ball-shaped material 4 and is flexibly included in the adjacent substantially ball-shaped material 4, and the surface cut is The surface may be cut into such a shape, the entire metal forming the surface may be deleted, or the metal forming the surface may be deleted so that a part of the metal remains, and the shape is limited. It will not be done.

[0017]

According to the present invention thus formed, a plurality of metal plates, one of which is gold 2 and the other of which is platinum 3, constitute the surface of the plate 1 in which gold and platinum are stacked. Since each of the ball-like objects 4 is formed so as to include a part thereof in a bendable manner to form a ball chain N, machine manufacturing can be performed in a series of steps, and through holes are opened one by one as in the conventional case. It can be manufactured at low cost without the labor of inserting the core material, and it is difficult to cut because no thin core material is used.

Then, the metal constituting the surface of one of these substantially ball-shaped objects 4 at any selected position is
Since a combination of gold 2 and platinum 3 is combined to produce a ball-chain-shaped ornamental product that is deleted by appropriately cutting the face, a worker can replace the conventional combination of gold and platinum with the core material each time. There is no need to select and combine properly when inserting,
This can be done by an automatic process without trouble because it can be done simply by giving an instruction for the surface cutting to a machine that appropriately performs the surface cutting.

Therefore, according to the present invention, in a ball-chain-like ornament which is hard to cut and can be bent, an arbitrary combination of gold and platinum is appropriately selected and continuously manufactured, and the overall cost is low. It has various excellent effects such as provision.
