Definitions

  • Known hinged rings have closures which are not simple to use for persons having swollen knuckles or arthritic fingers.
  • Known magnetic closures include that shown in Mizuno, U.S. Patent No. 3,129,477. Such a magnetic closure, without a safety feature may have a perceived lack of strength due to the absence of a conventional closure.
  • U.S. Patent No. 3,263,444, to Di Croce describes a hinged ring without safety features.
  • U.S. Patent NOS. 3,566,616; 4,763,490; 4,790,148; 4,991,409; and 5,136,858 each show hinged rings having mechanical closures only which are relatively complex and/or expensive to make as a dual closure is not provided for added safety. Summary of the Invention
  • the invention provides a jewelry closure having a mechanical closure and optionally having a magnetic closure in addition to the mechanical closure.
  • These jewelry closures are suitable for use for closing necklaces, bracelets or other articles of jewelry and are also suitable for using in combination with a hinged portion to make a hinged ring, hinged charms or a hinged jewelry closure.
  • the mechanical closure prevents the magnetic closure from being opened inadvertently.
  • a plate-like mechanical closure member attached to one of the magnetic closure members engages a complementarily shaped portion of the other magnetic closure member when the magnetic closure is secured to provide a mechanical second closure for the jewelry.
  • the plate-like member may have a depression shaped as a socket or groove or a raised bead or ridge and is attached to one hinged member of the ring for engaging a complementarily shaped portion on the other hinged member.
  • the magnets may be omitted and the jewelry closed using the mechanical closure alone.
  • the jewelry closures may be used to close chains or a closure may be disposed on a hinged ring.
  • the ring may be for a finger or may, for example, be a ring used for passing through ends of a decorative chain as a closure for the chain.
  • the closure is particularly useful for a hinged ring for wearing on a finger, especially if the finger joints are swollen.
  • Other uses include adaptation for a hinged charm for closing a chain or for adding to a chain.

Abstract

Un fermoir de joaillerie (2, 102) comporte un élément en forme de plaque (8, 112) fixé à sa première partie (4, 104). L'élément en forme de plaque (8, 112) entre en prise avec un segment à forme complémentaire (12, 116) d'une deuxième partie (6, 106) du fermoir (2, 102) lorsque celui-ci est fermé. Le fermoir (2, 102) peut comporter un système mécanique (8, 112) seul ou à la fois un système magnétique (104, 106) et un système mécanique (8, 112) qui empêche le système magnétique de s'ouvrir intempestivement. Ce fermoir de joaillerie (2, 102) peut être disposé sur une bague articulée (60, 160) portée au doigt et convient particulièrement pour un utilisateur dont les articulations sont enflées ou souffrent d'arthrite. On peut aussi utiliser un tel fermoir pour un bracelet, un bijou (52, 156) ou sur un fermoir en anneau (40, 140) destiné à raccorder les extrémités d'une chaîne (56, 158).
