Definitions

  • This invention relates to the achievement of a device to be applied to a chain or other filiform structures for ornamental use.
  • the object of the present invention is to achieve a device which when applied to the string of a necklace, provides the possibility of varying the profile as desired, by approaching one to the other two portions of the chain or varying the length of the chain.
  • the button is composed of two semishells, placed one against the other and partially interpenetrating or telescoping. On the lateral wall of each semishell there is present at least one pair of openings which are coaxial and diametrically opposite.
  • FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show respectively three orthogonal views of the device of this invention
  • FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 show possible applications of the device of this invention.
  • the device of this invention is constituted by a body or button ( 1 ), composed of two semishells ( 2 ) and ( 3 ), which have on their lateral wall two pairs of openings ( 4 ) and ( 5 ).
  • the openings are disposed in such a manner that when the semishells are mounted reciprocally interpenetrating or telescoping, the openings fit together to allow the passage of the filiform element of the chain ( 6 ).
  • spring ( 7 ) which is mounted precompressed.
  • the spring has the tendency to push the two semishells outwardly towards the exterior so that they generate a cutting force in the area of contact of the chain and openings which is sufficient to maintain the body or button ( 1 ) anchored to the chain.
  • FIG. 4 shows the use of the button ( 1 ) to cause an approachment of the two portions ( 8 ) of the chain, these portions being comprised between the pendant ( 9 ) and the button ( 1 ).
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show the button ( 1 ) located on the pendant ( 10 ) or ( 11 ) so that it is possible to position the pendant at a different height.
  • the pendant ( 11 ) is hollow so that it is possible to receive the portion ( 12 ) of the chain which is located below the button.
  • buttons may be made in every shape, dimension and material, precious and non-precious, without exiting from the scope of the claims attached hereto.
