Description
Oct. 19, 1948. M. ANDREOLI v 2,451,649
ORNAMENTAL FLO WER CONSTRUCTION 7 Filed Nov. 5, 1945 Z INVENTOR ATTORNEY Patented Get. 19, 1948 UNETED STATES 2,.thtta FATENT QFFICE 1 Claim.
My present invention relates to the jewelry manufacturing art, and more particularly to a novel construction of a flower for a brooch, earring, or similar article.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide an ornamental jewelry flower construction which will simulate a real flower and will require a minimum of soldering and other assembly operations. 4
Another object of the present invention is to provide an ornamental flower construction which can be colored and polished prior to assembly, and in which the assembly operation will not destroy the finish.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an ornamental flower construction which is simple in construction and easy and economical to manufacture and assemble.
With the above and other objects and advant-ageous features in View my invention consists of a novel arrangement of parts and a novel method of assembly, more fully described in the detailed description following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and more particularly claimed in the appended claim.
In the drawings,
Fig. l is a plan view of a brooch embodying my invention;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the brooch frame;
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the petal blank;
Fig. 4 is a similar view of the completed petal;
Fig. 5 is a plan view of the stamen blank;
Fig. 6 is a similar view of the completed stamen assembly;
Fig. '7 is a section taken on line 'l'l on Fig. 1;
Fig. 8 is a perspectve view of the ear wire assembly; and
Fig. 9 is a section similar to Fig. 7 showing the invention applied to an earring.
Brooches and earrings in a flow-er design are popular in the jewelry art. Their construction requires a good deal of skillful manual manipulation and the parts are usually soldered together by hand. Since soldering destroys the high polish or finish, polishing and coloring are usually done after the brooch or earring is completed.
' Readily accessible places are thus highly polished in a flower design, suitable for brooch or earring,
which presents a dainty and intricate effect, and.
which is beautifully colored and polished even in seemingly unaccessible places.
of brooches or earrings and to other articles of jewelry.
Referring more in detail to the drawings, the brooch l5), Fig. 1, comprises a frame H having a leaf (2 and two flowers l3 mounted thereon. Each flower [3 comprises a lower petal portion it, an upper cupped petal portion l5, and a plurality of stamens is extending upwardly from a central ornamental portion ll. The end of each stamen it may be provided with an ornamental colored stone Id.
In manufacturing and assembling the above construction, the frame H, Fig. 2, is first assembled in the conventional manner by soldering with the leaf 52. An eyelet H3 is also soldered to the end of each wire of the frame. The frame is then provided on the rear thereof with a conventional joint and catch (not shown) and is colored and polished to its final surface finish.
The petal i4 is stamped from sheet stock to form a blank 26, Fig. 3, which is then cut to shape, Fig. 4, clapped to give the petals a lifelike curvature, and pierced in the center to form the opening 2!. The petal is then colored and polished to its final finish.
A petal I4 is now slipped over each eyelet 19, the eyelet passing through the central opening 21, Fig. 7. To form the cupped petals 15, the petal it is manually bent into a cup shape, the operator wearing gloves to preserve the finish. The cupped petal I5 is slipped over the eyelet ill in a manner similar to the petal M, Fig. 7, and the assembly is now ready for the stamens It.
The stamens iii are formed by stamping a blank 22, Fig. 5, in a star shape with a plurality of arms 23 and an annular tab 24. The blank 22 is then pierced to form a central opening 25 and the tab is clapped and provided with an outer ornamental surface, Fig. 6. Stone settings 26, containing the stones l8, are soldered to the end of each. arm 23 and the arms are bent upwardly, Fig. 6. The stamen portion is then colored and polished to its final finish.
The stamens it are now slipped over the eyelet Ill, the opening 25 passing over the eyelet. The free end of the eyelet i9 is now swedged to hold the parts together, Fig. 7, and the tab 24 is bent over to cover the eyelet 19 with a finished ornamental surface.
The resultant flower is lifelike in appearance because of the stamen inserts and presents a finished, polished appearance on all surfaces. Furthermore, as can be seen from the foregoing, it is simple in construction and easy and economical to manufacture and assemble.
If desired, the flowers may be formed with only one layer of petals and assembled in the same manner. When forming an earring, Figs. 8 and 9, the bottom petal is preferably omitted to save weight. The ear Wire El is formed with an opening 28 at its free end. An eyelet 29 is passed through the opening and a petal and stamen is assembled with the eyelet as hereinabove described, Fig. 9. It is not necessary to solder any parts of the earring.
While I have described certain specific embodiments of my invention and a particular method of assembly, it is obvious that changes may readily be made in the size, shape, and relative arrangement of parts and method of assembly, without departing from the spirit and scope of I claim:
A brooch comprising a base, an eyelet mounted on said base, a metal tamping simulating a flower petal and having a central opening, said eyelet passin through said opening, a second stamping simulating a flower petal having upturned petals and a central opening, said eyelet passing through said opening, an integral onepiece stamping simulating a plurality of flower stamens and having a central opening, said eyelet passing through said opening and said eyelet being swedged to lock said petals and stamen to said base, and an ornamental flower portion integral with said stamen stamping for concealing the swedged end of said eyelet.
