Definitions

  • the current invention relates to personal adornments such as luxury watches, pendants, ear rings, or other jewelry in which at least one freestanding film is used as decorative part.
  • Freestanding films provide a luxurious metallic feel in hues that are difficult to otherwise achieve. Further, it is luxurious to wear a watch or other jewelry having metals that are fabricated so precisely that NASA uses them in satellites.
  • Freestanding films were first developed in the 1970's to act as band pass filters for extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray wavelengths. Their function was to filter out some wavelengths of light while allowing others to pass.
  • One of the first applications of freestanding films was for space-based astronomy; more specifically for, telescopes stationed above the Earth's atmosphere. Since that time, freestanding films have been routinely used on space missions.
  • a freestanding film is a metal that is fabricated so thin that it is measured in nanometers and, not supported by a continuous substrate.
  • a typical freestanding film is about 200 times thinner than common kitchen foil.
  • Some freestanding films are 3,000 times thinner than a piece of office paper.
  • Known freestanding films can be made from over 70 materials, including zirconium, titanium, gold, silver, palladium, for example. However, it is conceivable that freestanding films can be made from any known material.
  • freestanding films may be supported by mesh or may be self-supported (without mesh).
  • the type of mesh most commonly used is orthogonal or hexagonal in shape. A person having ordinary skill in the art will know that the mesh can be of any shape or design.
  • Fig. lb shows an unsupported, freestanding film.
  • the freestanding films shown in Figs, l - lb are shown in a circular frame for exemplary purposes only. As a practical matter, these frames are used to handle the free standing films. However, it should be noted that freestanding films may be produced with a frame having any conceivable shape or without a frame.
  • Fig. 1 a is a top view of an exemplary freestanding film supported by a hexagonal mesh
  • Fig. lb is a top view of an exemplary unsupported, freestanding film
  • Fig. 2a is a top, perspective view of a watch having freestanding film disposed on or near the face;
  • Fig. 2b is a side, cutaway view of section A-A where A-A is shown in Fig. 2a;
  • Fig. 3 a is a top view of an exemplary frame having a self-supported, freestanding film
  • Fig. 3b is a top view of an exemplary frame having a freestanding film supported by a rectangular mesh;
  • Fig. 4a is a top view of a digital watch where freestanding film is disposed on or near the face
  • Fig. 4b is a side, perspective view of a digital watch where freestanding film is disposed on the case;
  • Fig. 4c is a side, perspective view of a digital watch where freestanding film is disposed on both the watch face and case;
  • Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a cuff-link comprising freestanding film
  • Fig. 6 is a perspective view of an earring comprising freestanding film
  • Fig. 7 is a perspective view of a ring comprising freestanding film
  • Fig. 8 is a perspective view of a pendent comprising freestanding film.
  • the present invention is related to personal adornment where freestanding film is disposed on the adornment, or freestanding film is used to, at least partially, form the adornment.
  • one type of personal adornment is a luxury watch (10).
  • the watch (10) is shown as an analog watch having a round face.
  • the watch can be of any shape and may have any kind of conventional movement.
  • the watch (10) comprises a watch movement (14) where a vertical projection (26) connects the watch movement (14) to minute and second hands (12).
  • the watch movement (14) is mounted in a watch case (16).
  • the watch movement (14), for exemplary purposes, is shown in a circular configuration, and is of standard design available from a wide variety of watch manufacturers.
  • the portion of the watch case (16) located above the surface of the watch movement (14) defines a shoulder (18).
  • Freestanding film (20) may be disposed between the watch movement (14) and the watch hands (12), and secured onto the shoulder (18) of the watch case. It should be noted here that other methods of disposing freestanding film (20) into the watch (10) may be used.
  • a frame (22) may surround the freestanding film (20).
  • freestanding film can be supported by mesh, where the mesh can take any shape or size, or can be self-supporting.
  • the vertical projection (26) extends from the watch movement (14) through the frame (22) of the freestanding film (20).
  • at least a portion of the watch (10) is formed using a freestanding film (20).
  • a person having ordinary skill in the art will understand that the location of the freestanding film (20) can be placed in any number of locations on the watch (10), and in a plurality of configurations.
  • the watch (10) is a digital watch, and freestanding film (20) is disposed onto the face of the watch.
  • the watch (10) is a digital watch, and freestanding film (20) is disposed on the watch case (16).
  • the watch (10) is a digital watch, and freestanding film (20) is disposed on the watch face and case (16).
  • at least some portion of the watch (10) is formed using a freestanding film.
  • freestanding film (20) is disposed on, at least a portion, of a cuff-link (30).
  • at least some portion of a cufflink (30) is formed using freestanding film (20).
  • freestanding film (20) is disposed on, at least a portion, at least one earring (40). In another embodiment, at least some portion of an earring (40) is formed using freestanding film (20).
  • freestanding film (20) is disposed on, at least a portion, of a ring (50) sized to fit a human finger.
  • at least a portion of a ring (50) is formed using freestanding film (20).
  • freestanding film (20) is disposed on, at least a portion of a pendant (60).
  • at least a portion of the pendant (60) is formed using freestanding film.
  • the freestanding film (20) disposed on the above listed luxury items may be attached by any known means used to work freestanding films.
  • freestanding films listed above may form, at least a portion, of any of the luxury items described, using any known metal forming means used to work freestanding films.
