Claims.
This invention relates to a necklace of the type which will have a pendant extending from the portion which is to encircle the neck.
A necklace usually has a neck-encircling portion which carries some ornament by reason of the flexible chain or member passing through a loop or ring on the ornament. Such a necklace is not adjustable as to its neck encircling size.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide a necklace which will be adjustable as to the neck encircling size.
Another object of this invention is toprovide a necklace which will have a pendant portion extending therefrom which will support the ornament, rather than the ornament being supported by reason of the neck encircling portion passing through a part of the ornament.
Another object of this invention is to so arrange the variou portions of the flexible member of the necklace that they will be balanced so that the adjustable size member may be slid along the necklace to vary the encircling size of the neck portion.
Another object of this invention is to simulate a block and falls which are used for lifting some heavy object.
Another object of this invention is to provide a necklace chain which will remain in adjusted position as to size encircling portion of the chain.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is a view showing a necklace laid out in plan and showing in dotted lines a variant position of the chain;
Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 but illustrating the guides in section so as to show the manner of leading the flexible members therethrough;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the slidable member;
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the pendant guide;
Fig. 5 is a diagrammatic view illustrating the manner of leading the flexible member through it guides.
With reference to the drawing, I ll designates the back flexible member which is provided with link H and I 2 at the ends thereof. Intermediate these ends there is a spring ring I3 which may be detachably connected to the end links M and ii of the sections of the chain Ill so as to detachably connect these sections for placing the same about the neck. Guides l6 and l1 which simulate a block having a rotary pulley or fixed circular element l8 in them are attached by means of an eye Hi to the links I l.
A pendant guide designated 20 and also similarly constructed as the guides l6 and I! is also provided with a pulley e1- fixed circular portion l8 while its eye 2! has a ring 22 therein which suspends a hook 23.
A slidable member designated generally 25 also simulates a block which has two sheaves 26 and 21 mounted therein in side by side relation, showing the arrangement of a double block. An eye 28 extends upwardly from this block and also forms a guide for the passage of the flexible member or chain.
The flexible member or chain which is utilized for these various guides is designated generally 30 and consists of several difierent portions. One portion 3! extends from pulleys or sheaves I8 of the guides I 6 and I! through the eye 28 in passing from one guide Hi to the other guide IT. The portions 32 of this chain after passing over the sheaves or guides [8 then extend downwardly over the sheaves 26 and 21 in crossing relation, to form the portions 33 which extend down about the sheave I8 in the guide 20.
This flexible member designated generally 30 is endless and by reason of its balanced relation any pull on the guide 20 as at the hook 23 will pull equally on both sides of this flexible member and accordingly, greater friction will be applied upon the sheaves 26 and 21 but in opposite directions and because of the balance there is no tendency to move the member 25. However, if one grasps the member 25 it may be easily slid from the full line position of the member shown in Fig. 1 to the dotted line position thereof, thus decreasing the opening 35 which is the encircling size of the necklace.
I claim:
1. A necklace comprising a back flexible member, guides at the end portions of said memher and a pendant guide through each of which an endless flexible member is slidably passed to reverse its direction and a slidable member having three separate guides, one of said guides serving to receive and deliver at the same angle the flexible member as it passes from the guide at one end of the back flexible member to the guide at the other end thereof while the other two guides serve to direct other portions from said guides at the ends of the back flexible member in crossing relation as they extend to said pendant guide.
2. A necklace comprising a back flexible member, guides at the end portions of said member and a pendant guide through each of which an endless flexible member is slidably passed to reverse its direction and a slidable member having three separate guides, one of said guides serving to receive and deliver at the same angle the flexible member as it passes from the guide at one end of the back flexible member to the guide at the other end thereof while the other two guides serve to direct other portions from said guides at the ends of the back flexible member in crossing relation as they extend to said pendant guide, said slidable member being movable along said flexible member to vary the perimeter of the back and endless flexible members.
3. A necklace as set forth in claim 1 wherein the guides are provided with rotatable sheaves.
4. A necklace as set forth in claim 1 wherein the pendant guide supports a member therefrom.
5. Aneeklace as set forth in claim 1 wherein the slide member is provided' with apair of rotatable sheaves.
