Jewel provided with one or more accessory elements reversibly couplable thereto

Abstract

A jewel includes a bracelet and a pendant reversibly attachable to the bracelet at an end. The pendant includes an ornamental element connected to a pin at a first end, and an elongated coupling transversally connected to the pin at a second end. An O-ring is on the pin between the coupling and the ornamental element. The bracelet is integrally connected to a block, including a cavity accommodating the coupling, and an opening crossable by the coupling by inserting it into the cavity. The O-ring is compressed between the block and the ornamental element when the coupling is inserted into the cavity. One inserts the coupling into the cavity and rotates the pendant so the coupling is arranged transversally to the opening of the block. The O-ring keeps the coupling against the portion of block delimiting the opening, preventing relative rotation between the pendant and the block.

Description

APPLICATION FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention is applied in the jewels field, that is, of ornaments which can be worn by a person at one or more parts of his / her body. Among the most widely used jewels are, by way of example, ornamental bracelets, necklaces, earrings and ankle bracelets.[0002]In general, the jewels can be divided in two categories: jewels qualified as “minimalist” and jewels qualified as “accessorized”. The minimalist jewels exclusively comprise elements which are directly attachable to a part of a person's body.[0003]The accessorized jewels, instead, in addition to the above-mentioned connection elements, comprise accessory elements usually of aesthetic nature. An example of a minimalist jewel is represented by a bracelet exclusively consisting of a cylindrical body which is sufficiently large to be wearable at a wrist by inserting a hand therein. An example of an accessorized jewel is represented instead by a bracelet comprising, in addition to the...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a customizable accessorized jewel that overcomes the drawbacks of current jewels. The accessory elements of the jewel are easier to attach and unattach from the jewel compared to jewels that have a first connection mode. The jewel also combines the advantages of a threaded coupling and a hook-and-ring connection system to provide the same ease of attaching an accessory element to the main element with the same safety. The presence of stopping means ensures that the coupling stays in place, preventing unintentional uncoupling of the accessory element.

Problems solved by technology

As regards the first mode, the very small size of the hooks of the pendants and of the rings of the bracelet makes the operation of inserting a hook into a ring highly difficult.

In addition, although the closing teeth of the hooks prevent an undesired removal of the latter from the rings of the bracelet, the closing teeth cannot be easily gripped or moved from the second position to the first position.

The presence of closing teeth thus complicates the operations of coupling and uncoupling a pendant from the bracelet.

Therefore, the risk of losing a pendant while the bracelet is worn is high.

Therefore, the drawbacks highlighted above generally occur in all the customizable accessorized jewels.
