Benefits of technology

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a novel bead chain, wherein a spacer is inserted between two beads forming the bead chain so as to separate the beads and to facilitate a user's counting of beads with the fingers. Moreover, the number of beads used to form the same length of the bead chain decreases correspondingly, which reduces the cost of the bead chain to some extent.

Problems solved by technology

Because the beads forming the bead chain are processed to be very polished and smooth, it is difficult to distinguish the beads by fingers and inconvenient to count the beads one by one if the diameters of the beads are fairly short.
Furthermore, to form a long bead chain, large numbers of beads are needed to be threaded, which results in higher price and much more cost.

Abstract

A bead chain with modified structure, which is made by threading the beads of a specific shape to form a chain, and then joining the ends by means of buttons fixed at both ends, wherein some spacers are inserted between the beads to form an alternating pattern. The outer surfaces of the said spacers are engraved with lections, which are Sanskrit or Tibetan and the corresponding Chinese. The buttons at both ends of the bead chain are two separate half objects, which form a sphere or cylinder or the like after being joined. The outer surfaces of these half objects are engraved with lections. The bead chain according to the present invention reduces the cost.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to jewelry-making industry and, more particularly, to a bead chain used for counting prayers. BACKGROUND ART [0002] Conventional bead chains are made by processing the jade or other precious materials into specific shape, mainly spherical bead shape, punching a hole through the middle of each bead, threading the beads onto a string, cord or the like to form a chain, joining both ends of the chain by means of buttons to form a ring, which is called a bead chain. Bead chains with different size of rings, i.e. different length, can be made according to the number and size of beads. One function of the bead chain is for a religious person to twist the beads with fingers while reciting lections, e.g. twist a bead after completing every paragraph, in order to count the number of times of recitations of the lection. The buttons at either end of the string can be made into particular shape, for example, larger spherical or cylindrical ...
