The present invention also relates more specifically to a jewelry box for holding gems such as diamonds or jewelry items such as rings or earrings. t lltr ^ It is known to have a jewellery box formed of an integral part and a cover, of which 10 bodies provide means for supporting gems or objects and the cover is connected to the body so that the gems are made when the cover is closed Or the object is located in a generally opaque protective box to protect the gemstone or object from damage and to a certain degree protects the object or gemstone from dust. A larger unit is also provided so that the item is not lost, especially for the gemstone. Special diamond manufacturers have in recent years adopted a vigilance of placing a mark on the side of a gemstone and more recently placed it on a gem cut plane (cut plane facet). The mark may be any information mark or mark, such as an alphanumeric mark indicating the source of the gemstone or its serial number; and / or it may be an identification system or trademark and / or- a mark indicating quality and authenticity. Marks are formed in the tangent plane by removing trace material from the gem material according to today's technology, and it can be referred to as milling. Polishing techniques are shown, for example, in GB 2 325 392 A and WO 97/03846. The advantage of placing the marker on the tangent plane is that the tangent plane is not obstructed by the bayonet mount. The mark can be small enough to avoid reducing the value of the gemstone, which is invisible to the naked eye. However, the presence of marks on the tangent plane or any 5 200400015 facet of the gemstone will be an important indicator, for example, indicating that the gemstone is not synthetic and has not been treated to enhance color. There are several ways to check the markings on the gem facet, but in addition to using a simple eye socket magnifier (loupe), engraving eye socket magnifier 5 (inscription loupe) or magnifying tweezer, it requires more trouble Equipment and, for example, the gem needs to be removed from the box. I want to provide a simple and convenient way to check the mark. It is preferred to provide a way that does not require removing the gemstone from the box, but still allows the gemstone to be easily removed from the box as needed. In general, an object of the present invention is to overcome or improve at least one of the disadvantages of the prior art 10 or to provide an effective alternative. Any discussion of the prior art in the specification does not mean that the prior art is already well known or forms common general knowledge in the field. C ^^ 明 15] Summary of the Invention The present invention provides an inspection device according to item 1 of the scope of patent application and a method according to item 26 of the scope of patent application. The remaining patent applications are for preferred or selective features of the invention. … Using this & a month 'can provide __ a variety of use_ low cost devices such as normal room light or overhead 20 light or external light department light source (but can also incorporate light sources such as light emitting diode Device) to allow, for example, jewellers or the public to view and look at, identify, or read—markers on the facets of gemstones. In use, the user holds the lens close to the eye, adjusts the angle of the extension member to focus the gem facet, and then tilts the viewing device to obtain the specular reflection of the external 200400015 light source (not the reflection of diffused light). The boundary, which is the part of the shield farthest from the pivoting connection, can be held or pressed and moved, and the lens is moved through a small distance by lever. The magnifying lens will provide a magnified, virtual, and upright image of one of the marks, subject to the condition that the mark is in the correct position relative to the lens axis. The pivot connection enables the lens to be adjusted relative to the gem facet so that the facet is in the correct position and approximately at a predetermined angle relative to the lens axis, and this device will keep the lens and gem facet in relative alignment. This device controls the positional relationship between the gem and the lens so that the mark can be easily seen. The pivoting of the extension member also provides axial focus adjustment. Compared with the method of setting a loose gemstone or jewelry piece and an eye socket magnifying lens, the user can easily perform fine focusing. Therefore, this device provides a simple way to view the marks and, in a better configuration, uses room or external light without any additional light source. Light strikes the facet at an angle, that is, at an angle to the normal. The oblique illumination of 15 lines can enhance the contrast of the ground mark, and the ground mark can be used to see the ground mark in any case without difficulty. The lens may have any suitable magnification, such as greater than about χ2 or about x6, and for example less than about \ 20 or 乂 16, but it has been found that most of the marks applied for commercial use can be read with a χ10 lens. The lens axis is preferably at a small angle with respect to the normal direction used to join the boundary to the axis of the pivot joint, and it is inclined to this normal direction in the direction of rotation when the extension member is raised. This angle is preferably not less than about 2. And preferably not more than about 8. Or 10. . The boundary of the extension member and the pivotal connection portion may each be separated from the lens axis by a distance that is at least two, three, four, or five times the effective radius of the lens. 200400015 The half-prism system of the lens is the part through which light can be transmitted. The extension member preferably extends a significant distance from the lens in all radial directions. If this is the case, the extension member may be substantially opaque or at least substantially transparent for at least one wavelength ㈣, and serve as a shield that increases image resolution by reducing 5 diffused light that will affect image quality. If the shielding member is opaque only to a wavelength band, if the light source is configured to be illuminated only in the frequency band or a filter such as a lens is provided in the light, only the wavelength f is viewed. , You will see the marker better. Extending the mask to significantly reduce stray light that will affect the quality of the faceted light. For example, the “shield” can extend from the lens axis in all radial directions to a distance of about five times or ten times the effective half-light of the lens (that is, the lens portion for light transmission). In a preferred configuration, the inspection device of the present invention can be used as a normal jewelry box and the 15 marks on the gem facet can be discerned with the eye without any additional equipment. Therefore, the device of the present invention may be in the form of a jewelry box, which includes a body having the positioning device for holding a gemstone or an object, and the extension member is a cover and is pivotally connected to the body to serve as When the cover is closed, the pebbles or objects are located in the protective box. This jewellery box may be as described in item 11 of the scope of patent application. However, in an alternative approach, the viewing 20 set need not be closable to form a closure for f stone or jewelry items, and it can be used only for viewing the mark. For example, it may have open ends and be configurable to allow a chain or chest chain to move so that each gemstone can be inspected sequentially under the lens. In this example, the positioning device does not only need to locate the gemstone or object in a steady state manner. 200400015 The pivot connection may be in the form of a hinge with a hinge pin. However, this is not important and in other configurations, the pivot connection can be provided in any suitable manner, such as using a single piece elastically deformable plastic hinge that can be molded with a mask and a device for positioning the gemstone. 5 The scope of the attached patent application refers to the selective, preferred, or alternative characteristics of the invention. The preferred embodiment describes an embodiment of the present invention by way of example with reference to the drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a jewelry box; 10 FIG. 2 is a side view of the jewelry box, a part of which is shown in dotted lines; Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view along the hwh plane of Figure i; and Figure 4 is a top view of the jewelry box with the cover removed. Embodiment C; j A jewellery box 1 has an integral part 2 and an extension member or shield in the form of a cover or cover 3 pivotally connected to the body 2 through a simple 15 hinge pin 4. The body 2 has a device for positioning and particularly for holding or supporting a ring 5 equipped with a gemstone 6, wherein the gemstone 6 is shown as a brilliant-cut diamond and is usually cut The plane is at the top. The cover 3 can be opened through a little more than 90. Angle to easily manipulate or remove 20 ring 5. When the cover 3 is closed, a protective box is provided. The positioning device is formed as a rotating holding member 8 having a circular cylindrical cylindrical portion 9 which is received in a cylindrical concave portion of the body portion 2 and is defined by an inverted U-shaped groove. The rivets with opposite directions are held in position 10. The inverted U-shaped groove extends above the top of each finger 10 and goes down to 200400015 on either side to the lower part of the barrel 9 (see Figure 2). (Dashed outline); the recess 10 is engaged in an annular groove around the cylindrical recess of the body 2. The tube 9 has a foam filling 11 and a base 13 on which the box 1 can stand, wherein the foam filling 11 has a face 12 which is approximately horizontal above and the surface P is opened / formed as a decoration for the ring 5 Sexual background (face 12 has a slit that can be inserted). Stuffing! i has a well-known groove for receiving the ring ring 5, so that the ring ring 5 can be simply placed in position and held by friction, and the ring ring 5 can be raised and lowered by hand without difficulty. The rotating holder 8 may be alternatively configured to hold a single gemstone or other jewelry items such as earrings 10, while keeping the gem facet on the uppermost axis of the box. One of several different holders 8 can be inserted during manufacturing. Moreover, by using the rivet fingers 10, the holder 10 can be easily removed, and a different holder 8 can be used instead of the already-attached holder 8. The holder 8 has a tongue 14 protruding upwards. This tongue 14 has the same thickness as the wall of the barrel 9 and its top is used as a south guide for the correct south of the gem cutting plane 7; use this Way, attach the height guide to the body 2. The height of the gemstone 6 can be adjusted to roughly place the cutting plane 7 as a flat tongue for easy inspection, as described below. By holding the base 13, the holder 8 can be rotated about the vertical axis of the body 2 to tie the window stone 6 with an opening or opening 15 and includes on its top a large lens 16. The cover 3 is significantly larger than the opening radius (that is, the effective distance of the lens 16) from the lens axis 16 in all ^ segments. As shown in FIG. 3, the left part of the cover 3 " (which is away from the pivot 200400015 The distance between the boundary of the cover 3) and the pivot (4) to the axis of the lens 16 are 6.6 and 6 times the effective radius of the lens 16. When the cover 3 is closed, the cover 3 extends below the gem 6 level and is at The side opposite to the pivot hinge has all openings 17, and when the cover 3 is raised, light can reach the precious stone cutting plane 7 through this cut 17. The top of the cut 17 is substantially linear, and the center of the lens 16 and The top of the cutout 17 is located in a plane normal to the axis of the pivot (4) of the cover 3. The body 2 has an upward projection 18 which is connected to the upward projection 18 when the cover 3 is closed. The cutout Π is docked. This configuration can be formed when the cover 3 is opened approximately 30 degrees (as shown in FIG. 3) by passing under the edge 10 of the cover 3 away from the pivot (4) and by opening the cover 3. The gap is the light that enters the box through the cutout 17 (as shown by the left arrow in Figure 3) to illuminate the gem 6 and the light strikes the gem cutting plane 7 obliquely, and the eye passes through the lens 16 to view the gem cutting plane 7. As shown by the right arrow in Figure 3, the axis of the lens 16 coincides with the viewing axis, but for the box i axis At 15. Angle (when cover 3 is closed) 15 and 4. At line 4.
