Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une pièce de bijouterie, notamment bague ou bracelet, formée d'éléments annulaires normalement juxtaposés.The present invention relates to a piece of jewelry, in particular a ring or bracelet, formed of annular elements normally juxtaposed.
Les bagues habituellement disponibles sur le marché sont généralement d'une seule pièce et elles ne peuvent être personnalisées que par une inscription à leur surface intérieure ou extérieure, ce genre de personnalisation étant plus ou moins standard. Il existe aujourd'hui un besoin pour la création d'une pièce de bijouterie de conception originale, susceptible d'une personnalisation plus individuelle que celle des objets existants. Le but de la présente invention est donc de réaliser une pièce de bijouterie telle que bague, bracelet ou similaire de conception originale et facile à personnaliser. Pour atteindre ce but, la pièce de bijouterie selon l'invention est réalisée comme décrit dans la revendication 1.The rings usually available on the market are generally in one piece and they can only be personalized by an inscription on their interior or exterior surface, this kind of customization being more or less standard. Today there is a need for the creation of a piece of jewelry of original design, capable of more individual personalization than that of existing objects. The object of the present invention is therefore to produce a piece of jewelry such as a ring, bracelet or the like with an original design and easy to personalize. To achieve this object, the piece of jewelry according to the invention is produced as described in
La pièce de bijouterie selon l'invention est originale en ce qu'elle comprend des éléments de forme annulaire qui sont juxtaposés en condition portée ou assemblée de la pièce de bijouterie et qui sont connectés entre eux par des moyens permettant un déplacement relatif de ces éléments dans leur plan. Dans la condition déployée, c'est-à-dire lorsque les éléments sont déplacés l'un par rapport à l'autre dans leur plan, des inscriptions apportées sur leurs faces latérales planes deviennent visibles, ce qui contribue à une personnalisation individuelle de la pièce de bijouterie. Ces inscriptions peuvent bien entendu être choisies à volonté par le propriétaire de la pièce de bijouterie et elles peuvent être apportées sur les éléments par toute méthode adéquate, par exemple par gravure.The piece of jewelry according to the invention is original in that it comprises elements of annular shape which are juxtaposed in the worn or assembled condition of the piece of jewelry and which are connected together by means allowing relative movement of these elements. in their plan. In the deployed condition, that is to say when the elements are moved relative to each other in their plane, inscriptions made on their flat lateral faces become visible, which contributes to individual personalization of the piece of jewelry. These inscriptions can of course be chosen at will by the owner of the piece of jewelry and they can be added to the elements by any suitable method, for example by engraving.
L'invention va être décrite plus en détail ci-après à l'aide de la description de deux bagues prises comme exemples d'exécution de l'invention.
- La figure 1 montre une bague en condition assemblée selon une première forme d'exécution de l'invention,
- La figure 2 montre la bague de la figure 1 en condition déployée,
- La figure 3 est une coupe à travers une articulation des anneaux,
- La figure 4 montre une bague en condition assemblée selon une deuxième forme d'exécution de l'invention,
- La figure 5 montre la bague de la figure 4 en condition déployée, et
- La figure 6 est une coupe à travers une articulation des anneaux.
- FIG. 1 shows a ring in assembled condition according to a first embodiment of the invention,
- FIG. 2 shows the ring of FIG. 1 in the deployed condition,
- FIG. 3 is a section through an articulation of the rings,
- FIG. 4 shows a ring in assembled condition according to a second embodiment of the invention,
- FIG. 5 shows the ring of FIG. 4 in the deployed condition, and
- Figure 6 is a section through an articulation of the rings.
Les figures 1 à 3 montrent que la bague selon la première forme d'exécution de l'invention est formée de trois anneaux A, B et C, ce nombre n'étant pas limitatif. En effet, pour respecter le concept inventif, la bague doit être formée d'au moins deux anneaux, mais elle peut en comporter plus que trois. Il est visible que les anneaux sont articulés l'un à l'autre par paires. Ainsi, les anneaux A et B sont articulés en 1 et les anneaux B et C sont articulés en 2. Pour maintenir les anneaux juxtaposés dans la condition assemblée de la bague, des moyens de verrouillage sont prévus. Ces moyens sont une creusure 3 à la surface latérale intérieure de l'anneau A dans laquelle s'engage à cran l'extrémité dépassante de l'axe 4 de l'articulation 2. La figure 2 montre l'extrémité dépassante de l'axe 4 de l'articulation 1 qui s'engage à cran dans une creusure située à la surface latérale intérieure de l'anneau C, à l'opposé de la goutte 5. L'axe des articulations est parallèle à celui des anneaux. Ce qui précède montre que les anneaux sont articulés et verrouillés relativement l'un à l'autre par paires. Chaque articulation permet un déplacement relatif par rotation des anneaux d'une paire. Les anneaux extérieurs A et C comportent des faces latérales intérieures planes avec une creusure de verrouillage 3. Ces faces intérieures peuvent être utilisées, si désiré, pour porter des inscriptions de caractère personnel, ces inscriptions n'étant visibles que dans la condition déployée de la bague. Les faces latérales extérieures des anneaux extérieurs A et C peuvent comporter des motifs ou éléments décoratifs tels que des gouttes 6. L'anneau intérieur B comporte deux faces latérales planes desquelles dépassent les extrémités des axes 4 des articulations 1 et 2, extrémités qui s'engagent à cran dans les creusures 3. Les faces latérales de l'anneau B peuvent aussi comporter des inscriptions de caractère personnel. De manière générale, la bague peut comporter plus de trois anneaux, tous les anneaux intérieurs (tels que B en fig.2) ayant deux faces planes susceptibles de porter des inscriptions et les anneaux extérieurs (tels que A et C en fig.2) ayant une face intérieure plane susceptible de porter des inscriptions et une face externe susceptible de recevoir des éléments ou motifs décoratifs.Figures 1 to 3 show that the ring according to the first embodiment of the invention is formed of three rings A, B and C, this number is not limiting. Indeed, to respect the inventive concept, the ring must be formed of at least two rings, but it can comprise more than three. It is visible that the rings are articulated to each other in pairs. Thus, the rings A and B are articulated in 1 and the rings B and C are articulated in 2. To keep the rings juxtaposed in the assembled condition of the ring, locking means are provided. These means are a
On remarque en fig.2 que les articulations 1 et 2 se trouvent aux extrémités d'un diamètre de l'anneau central B. Cette disposition n'est toutefois pas obligatoire, une distance angulaire différente de 180° entre les articulations 1 et 2 étant aussi possible. Enfin, les figures 1 et 2 montrent que les épaisseurs des anneaux peuvent être différentes. Dans l'exemple illustré, l'anneau central B est plus épais que les anneaux extérieurs A et C.Note in fig.2 that the
Les figures 4 à 6 montrent une bague selon une deuxième forme d'exécution de l'invention, cette bague étant relativement similaire à celle de la première forme d'exécution. Comme dans l'exemple précédent, la bague comprend trois anneaux D, E et F, ces anneaux étant articulés l'un à l'autre par paires. Ainsi, l'anneau D est articulé en 7 à l'anneau E et l'anneau F est articulé en 8 à l'anneau E. Les figures 4 et 5 montrent que les articulations 7 et 8 des paires d'anneaux respectives D-E et E-F ne sont pas disposées selon un diamètre de l'anneau E comme dans l'exemple précédent. Dans la deuxième forme d'exécution, les anneaux ne sont pas fermés et ils sont articulés entre eux à une de leurs extrémités. Pour maintenir assemblés les anneaux juxtaposés selon fig.4, des moyens de verrouillage sont prévus. Ces moyens sont une creusure 9 prévue à l'extrémité libre des anneaux D et F, sur les faces latérales intérieures planes de ces derniers, la creusure s'engageant à cran avec l'extrémité de l'axe 4 de chaque articulation 7 ou 8 dépassante de la face latérale correspondante de l'anneau E. Comme dans l'exemple précédent, les faces latérales intérieures planes des anneaux extérieurs D et F ainsi que les deux faces latérales planes de l'anneau intérieur E peuvent comporter des inscriptions personnelles choisies par le propriétaire de la pièce de bijouterie. En outre, et comme précédemment, les anneaux peuvent être de différentes épaisseurs. Dans l'exemple illustré, l'anneau intérieur E est plus épais que les anneaux extérieurs D et F. Le nombre d'anneaux est au minimum de deux mais il peut être plus grand que trois.Figures 4 to 6 show a ring according to a second embodiment of the invention, this ring being relatively similar to that of the first embodiment. As in the previous example, the ring comprises three rings D, E and F, these rings being articulated to one another in pairs. Thus, the ring D is articulated at 7 to the ring E and the ring F is articulated at 8 to the ring E. Figures 4 and 5 show that the
L'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples décrits. En particulier, des bagues ou bracelets comportant deux anneaux ou plus que trois sont possibles. Dans la première forme d'exécution, la distance angulaire entre les articulations 1 et 2 sur l'anneau B peut être différente de 180°. Les anneaux peuvent être en matériaux différents, de différentes couleurs et comporter des éléments ou motifs décoratifs à leur périphérie ou à leur face latérale extérieure dans le cas des anneaux extérieurs.The invention is not limited to the examples described. In In particular, rings or bracelets with two rings or more than three are possible. In the first embodiment, the angular distance between the
