Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an articulated bracelet, and particularly relates to an articulated bracelet having a plurality of acupoints in which a plurality of links are laterally articulated to each other by means. The articulation axis of the hinge formed by the acupuncture points of the chains, one overlapping the other, is generally secured to said acupuncture points and often complicates the manufacture of the bracelet elements or their attachment. It consists of a shaft which is maintained in position by means for retaining the shaft. Such a shaft can thus be forced into one part of the acupuncture acupuncture and free into the other which can be maintained in position without interfering with the free-moving articulation.

Additionally, the hinges of the linkages are often visible, making the structure less aesthetically pleasing.

The purpose of the present invention is to alleviate these inconveniences.

This purpose, according to the invention, is such that the acupuncture acupoint is traversed by a spring bar forming an articulating shaft which is maintained in position by a U-shaped hook-shaped piece that covers the acupuncture acupoint, and This is achieved by engaging the protrusion of the spring bar in the leg.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below as an example based on the accompanying drawings.

The bracelet shown consists of a chain formed by hexahedral pieces 1 of decreasing width, implemented in a durable material.

Each hexahedral piece 1 has a hinge 2 along one of its lateral sides and a hinge 3 along the opposite lateral side, and the hinges are on both sides of the piece 1. soldered to n
Each acupuncture point 2 formed by a hollow tube is designed to be engaged between the acupoints 3 of adjacent chains.

The connection between the chains is ensured by a spring bar 4), which
The outer diameter corresponds to the pore diameter of the acupuncture points 2 and 3 and freely traverses the acupoints 2 and 3.

These spring bars 4 are kept in place by U-shaped hook-shaped pieces 5, and legs 5a, designated by the reference numeral 5a, are engaged with one and the other of the hinges 3 of each chain.
A is penetrated by a hole B in which a projection 7 of the spring bar 4 is engaged.

Thus, the U-shaped hook-shaped piece 5 plays two roles at the same time: functionally as a means of keeping the spring bar 4 in position in the hinges 2 and 3 and decoratively as a hinge ensuring the articulation of the chains with each other. It serves as a means of making it invisible.

In this respect, it should be noted that the U-shaped hook-shaped piece 5 can have a different appearance than the chain, depending on the condition of its surface or the color of the metal achieved. This appearance, contrasted with the U-shaped hook-shaped pieces 5, has an aesthetic effect, highlighting the chains and characterizing the boundaries between each of them.

The material used for the implementation of the hexahedral piece 1 constituting the bracelet chain, which in the illustrated embodiment is shown to be a durable material, is not critical and may be made of, for example, titanium or gold. It should be noted that other materials can be taken into consideration as well.
