  • FIG. 3C is an enlarged sectional view of a single framed compartment with the photograph shown removed according to the present invention.[0024]
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • Referring more particularly to the drawings, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention depicting an article of [0025] jewelry 10. Article of jewelry 10 consists of bracelet 12, which is comprised of a plurality of framed compartments 14 for releasably receiving a photograph 16 or some similar medium with indicia 18 thereon. Compartment 14 includes a rear plate 20 with an opening 22 therein and upwardly extending sidewalls 24, 25, 27 and 29 along each side 26 of framed compartment 14 integrally formed therewith. Rear plate 20 may also include assorted other openings (not shown) of various shapes and sizes to reduce costs of materials and contribute to the article's aesthetic appeal.
  • [0026] Openings 28 and 30 are formed within opposing sidewalls 24 and 25 for receiving a cord or wire 32 for connecting multiple compartments 14 in a series. Spacer elements 34, which are secured as a component of bracelet 12 by threading wire 32 through individual openings 36, are provided to separate each of the compartments 14 from the next and enhance the overall flexibility of bracelet 12. Brackets 38 are provided to retain the corners 40 of photograph 16 securely within each compartment 14. Also used to retain photograph 16 within each compartment 14 are pieces of transparent film (not shown) of the same shape and size as photograph 16.
  • In a typical application of the present invention, [0027] photograph 16 is placed inside compartment 14 as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3A in cross section. To remove the photograph, a narrow implement 42 is employed to pierce opening 22 and engage photograph 16 pushing it sufficiently forward to separate it from compartment 14, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3B and 3C.
  • [0028] Compartment 14 may be fabricated of any suitable material such as a metal alloy or a resilient synthetic composition. Embellishments, such as a sculpted, embossed or engraved treatments, may be applied to any desired surface of the framed compartment to enhance its aesthetic appeal.
  • [0029] Spacer elements 34 are comprised of any suitably attractive object, though preferably beads of various sizes, shapes and colors.
  • [0030] Wire 32, which is preferably elastic or stretchable, can be comprised of either a natural or synthetic fiber sufficiently thin and resilient enough to easily thread the openings 28 and 30 in the sidewalls 24 and 25 and openings 36 in spacer elements 34 and secure all the bracelet 12 components.
  • [0031] Photograph 16 or any other item with indicia thereon is typically comprised of a paper material, though any size appropriate plastic, metal or natural element would also be suitable.
  • [0032] Implement 42 may be a small, slender metal or resilient synthetic poker or pin or even the point of a pencil or pen appropriately sized to fit through opening 22, engage photograph 16 and push it forward deforming it to enable the photograph 16 (and the thin transparent film, if used) to slip from compartment 14 and separate from it.
  • Alternate embodiments (not shown) of the present invention include a [0033] single compartment 14 fashioned into a ring to be worn on a finger or in combination with a chain, and a single compartment 14 in combination with one or more fanciful or ornamental objects of various sizes, shapes, colors and material compositions.
  • While the invention will be described in connection with a certain preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that it is not intended to limit the invention to that particular embodiment. Rather, it is intended to cover all alternatives, modifications and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. [0034]
