Health Jewelry Utilizing Silicone Elastomer and Process for Producing the Same

Abstract

The present invention provides a body accessory which can formed into a ring shape, comprising a silicone elastomer body having a silicone elastomer layer mixed with fine titanium powder, which contains titanium powder obtained by burning a gaseous oxygen-hydrogen mixture in high-pressure water, fusing metallic titanium using the resultant burning gas and precipitating the product in water at least as a major component, on the skin contacting side and the silicone elastomer decorative continuous protrusion on the exterior side. The present invention also provides a process for manufacturing the body accessory, which comprises a silicone elastomer accessory body having a silicone elastomer layer mixed with fine titanium powder on the skin contacting side and a silicone elastomer decorative continuous protrusion on the exterior side and can be made into a ring, said process comprising the first step of forming a continuous concavity on a silicone elastomer accessory body; the next step of embedding a silicone elastomer layer containing fine titanium powder; the further step of separately forming a silicone elastomer decorative continuous protrusion; and the final step of placing the accessory body thus obtained on said decorative continuous protrusion and curing with heat for integration.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a body accessory containing fine titanium powder which is worn on various parts of the body to promote health and to a process for manufacturing the same.[0002]The body accessory of the present invention can be formed into a ring shape and used as it is, or alternatively, a multiple number of the body accessories are connected to form a ring shape when a certain length is required.BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY[0003]Conventionally, in manufacturing accessories, metal materials have been used and formed into projected shapes by means of pressing process, scraping process, grinding process, and the like.
