Claims.
This invention relates to an improvement in the construction of certain types of jewelry employing pearls or other precious stones mounted upon a metallic foundation, and has for its principal object the improvement of the appearance ci such an article by the concealment of said foundation.
An important object of my invention, is to provide means for making an attractive, inexpensive and durable cross of beads such as pearls and the like, in which the mounting thereof is contaken on line 3-3 of Figure 2 looking in the direction of the arrows.
Figures 4 and 5 show different means of securing terminal pearls onthe mounting therefor.
Figure 6 illustrates the appearance of a bar pin constructed according to my invention.
Figure '7 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the pin shown in Figure 6.
Figure 8 is a view of the pin shown in Figure 7 as seen from the right-hand end thereof.
Referring now to Figures 2 and 3, it will be understood that a cross structure employing a preferred embodiment of my invention comprises a tube l@ forming a part of the upright portion of the cross. 'Ihe tube Ii) is provided with clearance holes drilled transversely therethrough at a point between the ends thereof, to receive a screw threaded rod I I. The cross-bar of the structure is formed by a plurality of tube sections I2, having cemented or otherwise suitably secured to one end thereof a terminal pearl or bead I3, which bead is iirst partially drilled through, on an axis thereof to receive said tubes. Screw threads I4, adapted to coeperate with the threaded rod Il vare formed in the tubes l2 proximate the ends thereof remote from the Vbead I3. Figure 4 is a View of what may be described as one form of terminal jewel or bead means comprising the tube and terminal bead assembly as abovedescribed.
A terminal bead I5, similar to beads I3, may be mounted on a tube IG, similar in all respects (Cl. Gli- 20) to the tube I3. A threaded rod Il similar to the rod I I is screwed into threads tapped into the lower end of a tube IIl, as shown, and serves, as does the rod II, for securing the tube I6 and terminal bead I5 to the lower end of the upright portion of the cross to make a mounting structure of a proportion which will give to the same the appearance of a conventional ecclesiastical cross.
A center bead 20, having holes of a size suitable and adapted to slide freely on either the tube IS or I2, are drilled on axes disposed in a common plane and intersecting each other at right angles. What might be described as spacer or intermediate beads 2l, and an upper terminal bead 22, are provided with holes passing through the center thereof of such diameter that the beads are adapted to slide freely on any of the tubes IG, I2 or I6.
A mounting 23 of any suitable form having a i threaded shank 24 screwed into the upper end of the tube Ill is adapted to secure the terminal bead 22 to the structure and for convenience the bead 22 and mounting 23 may be described as terminal jewel or bead means similar to the terminal i" members which include the beads I3 and I5.
'I'he device above described may be assembled by first positioning the center bead on the tube Ii) after which the rod II is passed through both the bead and the clearance holes in the tube IEl provided, as above described, to receive the rod EI. Thereafter, a spacer bead 2| is disposed cn a tube I2 adjacent the terminal bead I3 thereof and the tube then screwed on the end of the rod Ii until the same projects, as shown in Figure il, into the center bead to a point in contact with or at least proximate the tube IQ. The other side arm of the cross will of course be assembled in the same way. Similarly, the three spacer beads shown in Figure 2 below the center beadY 2S may be held in position on either the tubes I s'l or I5 as the case may be by the terminal head means I5 and tube IB to which the same is secured. The spacer bead 22 on the upper end ci the tube It is held in position by the mounting l 23 which passes through the terminal bead 22 as shown.
it will be understood that the length of the tubes I2 is preferably such that when they are secured tightly against the tube IIi the intermediate bead 2i will be held between the beads I3 and 25 against lateral movement and yet not bel subjected to pressure sufficient to crack or injure any of said beads. Correspondingly, the length of the tubes IIJ and I6 are such that the beads forming the upright portion cannot be subjected to an injurious pressure.
Figure 5 illustrates a modified form of device shown in Figure 4 in that the inner end of the hole 25 formed in the bead I3 is enlarged at 26 to receive the head of an angular screw 21 having a threaded shank 28. The screw 21 is of such size that it may be inserted into the bead with the head thereof in the position shown. When the tube i2 is screwed onto the shank 28 of the screw 21 the shank is positioned centrally of the hole 25 with the result that the bead I3 is held firmly on the end of the tube l2.
Figures 7 and 8 show a bar pin structure in which terminal beads 3i] are mounted like those above described on tubes 3l and intermediate beads 32 and 33 are mounted on a tube 34 similar to the manner in which the beads 2| and 22 are mounted on the tube iii above described. In the case of the bar pin, however, while the beads 32 are drilled in two directions similar to that described in the case of the center bead 2d, above, the hole drilled at right angles to that through which the tube 34 extends, does not extend entirely through the head. A pin structure 35 having a threaded end 3l adapted to screw into suitabiy tapped holes in the tube 34 is mounted through the hole 35 in the left-hand bead "i2 and similarly, a suitable clasp structure 38, having a threaded end 39 is mounted on the tube 3i! through the hole 35 in the right-hand bead 32.
It will be understood that the holes 35 in the beads 32 serve, in addition to making it possible to mount the pin and clasp structure 36-33 on the tube di, as suicient clearance to enable the terminal beads 3Q to be tightened sufficiently to hold all the intermediate beads against longitudinal movement and at the same time not subject them to a destructive pressure.
This invention is made to ill a need for improvements in jewelry. It is understood that various modifications in structure, as well as changes in mode of assembly and manner of use, may occur to those skilled in the art, especially after beneiitting from the teachings of my invention. Hence, it will be understood that this disclosure is merely illustrative of preferred means oi embodying the invention in useful form and to explain the construction, operation and advantages thereof.
