Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a piece of chain for necklaces or bracelets, in particular for necklaces or bracelets that can be customized for their user.
  • Types of necklaces and bracelets are known, which comprise a plurality of cage-shaped elements arranged one after the other, provided with tabs suitable for clipping.
  • these are positioned crosswise to each other, so that the tabs of one element to be attached to the successive one fit in the spaces present between the two tabs of said successive element.
  • the cage-shaped elements of known type are often decorated with ornamental items like pendants, rings, pearls and the like, which can be attached thereto in order to allow the user to wear a customized bracelet or necklace.
  • a first drawback lies in that according to the known art the ornamental items need to be attached to the necklace or bracelet by welding.
  • a further drawback is due to the fact that, once welded to the cage-shaped elements, pearls, charms and similar items cannot be replaced.
  • FIG. 1 shows a detail of a cage-shaped element carried out according to the known art
  • FIG. 2 shows a detail of a connection element carried out according to the invention
  • Figure 5 shows a piece of chain assembled with the elements of Figures 1 and 2;
  • Figure 6 shows a construction variant of Figure 5.
  • Figure 1 shows the cage-shaped element 1 carried out according to the known art, obtained by cutting a sheet of precious metal.
  • each tab 4 has at its end an enlarged section 5 such that its cross section is larger than that of the corresponding tab 4.
  • Each end 5 is then bent, preferably 90°, with respect to the base 2, in order to allow clipping of a successive cage-shaped element, while each tab is bent, preferably 45° or 60° always with respect to the base 2.
  • connection element 10 shown in Figure 2 is interposed between two successive cage-shaped elements.
  • the connection element 10 comprises a base 11 provided with a substantially central hole 12.
  • Figure 2 also shows that a plurality of hooks 13 radially project from the base 11 , said hooks having all the same dimensions and being equally spaced from each other.
  • the connection element 10 differs from the cage-shaped elements 11 above all due to the size of the hooks 13 that are shorter than the tabs 4 of the cage-shaped element 1.
  • the ends of the hooks 13 do not have an enlarged section because they are not required to close like a cage, but only to close like a ring in order to hold a charm or a pendant.
  • the base 11 has an element whose diameter is slightly shorter than the corresponding diameter of the base 2 of the cage-shaped element 1 , while the hole 12 and the hole 2 are substantially the same.
  • each one of the hooks 13 is then interposed between two tabs 4 of a cage-shaped element 1 , in such a way as to be interposed in the space delimited by the tabs 4 and by the base 2 of the cage-shaped element 1.
  • connection element 10 between two successive cage-shaped element 1 takes place so that the connection elements and the cage-shaped elements are coaxial and therefore with the holes 3 and 12 respectively aligned. In this way a piece of chain 100, substantially tubular in shape and visible in Figure 5 is obtained.
  • Each one of the hooks 13 has one end 14 that is closed like a ring to attach one or more ornamental items 15.
  • the hook 13 engages with the ring of the ornamental item 15 and this remains firmly attached to the piece of chain 100 with no need for any welding.
  • the ornamental items 15 can be released from the hooks 13 using special pliers of known type and replaced with other ornamental items.
  • a ring can be replaced by a pearl and so on.
  • This spring 111 serves as an elastic element for the piece of chain, so that the bracelet or necklace is elastic, too.
  • Customizing the piece of chain according to the invention means avoiding further costly welding operations that extend processing times.
