Abstract

PURPOSE:To exchangingly fit multiple coins with different outer diameters by locating a coin with a relatively small diameter at the center section of a fitting frame with a diameter larger than the outer diameter of this coin and fixing the coin with elastic bodies provided with release preventing sections on their tips. CONSTITUTION:A fitting frame 1 is constituted of a thin doughnut-shaped fitting frame main body 2 and three springs 5 having inward release preventing sections 4 on both the front and rear sides to press and fix the outer periphery of a coin 3 to be fitted and fitted on the inner edge side of the fitting frame main body 2 at an angle of 120 deg. respectively. The release preventing sections 4 of the springs 5 are moved toward the fitting frame main body 2 against the elasticity of the springs 5 so that the diameter formed by three release preventing sections is made larger than the outer diameter of the coin 3. Even when the outer diameter of the coin to be fitted is changed, positions of the release preventing sections 4 can be optionally set by the elasticity of the springs 5, thereby only one fitting frame can be used to fit multiple coins.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a frame for mounting circular decorative coins such as gold coins and silver coins.

(Prior art and its problems) Coins such as gold coins and silver coins have not only been collected because of their monetary value, but their use as accessories is also expanding, especially among women. For example, an X ounce gold coin is attached inside a circular frame with the same diameter as the gold coin, and a chain is attached to the frame to be used as a necklace.

Even if each coin has the same weight, its outer diameter differs depending on the type, and it is not possible to mount multiple types of coins in the same frame. Therefore, if you want to mount multiple coins with different diameters, prepare a frame. The drawback is that you have to do it.

Furthermore, in the conventional coin mounting method, the frame has a shape that closely fits the circular coin, which has design limitations and has the disadvantage that it is not possible to create an innovative design.

(Objective of the Invention) The present invention has been made to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art described above, and it is possible to replace and attach a plurality of coins with different outer diameters, and it also has a large degree of freedom in its design. The purpose of the coin mounting is to provide a frame.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a means for attaching relatively small-diameter coins with a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the coin to the center of the frame, and an elastic body provided with a deviation prevention part at the tip. The coin mounting feature is a frame that urges the coin toward the center and fixes the coin.

The present invention will be explained in detail below.

The basic idea of the present invention is that when a coin such as a gold coin is fixed and used as a decorative item together with the coin, the inner diameter of the frame is larger than the outer diameter of the coin, and the inner diameter of the frame is larger than the outer diameter of the coin. By fixing the coin with an elastic body, it is possible to attach the same coin to the frame regardless of the outer diameter of the coin, provided that the outer diameter of the coin is smaller than the inner diameter of the frame. That's what I did.

In other words, the difference in the outer diameter of the coin can be absorbed by the radial expansion and contraction of the elastic body, and the coin can be firmly fixed to the frame. In conventional mounting, the frame has inward bent parts on both circumferential edges to prevent the coin from coming off, but in the mounting of the present invention, the frame itself does not have the role of directly fixing the coin. Since there is no detachment prevention part, the detachment prevention part may be omitted. In the present invention, since the attachment has the role of fixing the coin to the elastic body instead of the frame, an appropriate detachment prevention part, such as the above-mentioned inward bending part, is formed on the part of the elastic body that comes into contact with the coin. There is a need.

In addition, in conventional coin mounting frames, the outer diameter of the coin is smaller than the inner diameter of the frame by the portion of the inward bend, so the mounting is done by attaching a clip or the like to a part of the circumferential direction of the frame. For installation, it was necessary to cut the frame in the circumferential direction and then fix the coin in a predetermined position.However, in the installation of the present invention, the outer diameter of the coin is smaller than the inner diameter of the frame, so it is difficult to install the coin in the frame as described above. It is not necessarily necessary to attach a clip or the like.

Furthermore, in conventional coin mounting, the frame had the role of fixing the coin to the inner edge of the frame, so at least for mounting, the shape of the inner edge of the frame had to be circular to match the coin, and therefore, the frame itself had to be mounted a lot. In this case, the shape of the frame is circular, but in the present invention, as long as the elastic body can be attached, the shape of the frame is not limited to the same, and can be any shape such as a triangle, square, oval, or star shape. , together with the types of coins to be attached, the variety of designs increases dramatically.

In addition, the coin attachment according to the present invention is applicable to various decorative items such as attaching a necklace chain to one end of the frame and using it as a necklace, or attaching a bottle to the back of the necklace and using it as a brooch. It is possible to do so.

(Examples) The present invention will be described in more detail below based on examples shown in the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing a first embodiment of a coin mounting frame according to the present invention.

For installation, the frame L has a thin donut shape and is attached to the frame body 2, and the outer edge of the coin 3 to be attached is pressed to the tips attached to the inner edge of the frame body 2 facing inward at an angle of 120'. It consists of three springs 5 provided with inwardly facing detachment prevention parts 4 on both the front and rear sides for fixation. Reference numeral 6 denotes a through hole that passes through the bulge 7 at the upper end of the frame body 2 for attachment.

In this embodiment, when a coin is attached to or removed from the frame, the detachment prevention part 4 of the spring 5 is moved in the direction of the frame body 2 against the elasticity of the spring 5, and the three detachment prevention parts 4 are moved in the direction of the frame body 2.
The diameter formed by the coin 3 may be larger than the outer diameter of the coin 3, and one end of the chain can be passed through the through hole 6 to be used as a necklace.

Even if the outer diameter of the attached coin changes, the elasticity of the spring 5 allows the position of the detachment prevention part 4 to be set arbitrarily.
Individual mountings differ only in the frame and can be used for multiple coin mountings.

FIG. 2 is a front view showing a second embodiment of the coin mounting frame according to the present invention.

The frame 11 is attached to the frame 11, the thin donut-shaped attachment is attached to the frame body 12, and the coin 13 is attached to the tip of the frame body 12, which is attached to the inner edge side of the frame body 12 at an angle of 90 degrees inward.
It consists of four leaf springs 15 provided with inwardly directed separation prevention parts 14 on both the front and rear sides for pressing and fixing the outer edges of the.

In this embodiment, when a coin is attached to or detached from the frame, the detachment prevention part 14 of the plate spring 15 is pressed against the elasticity of the plate spring 15, and the above-mentioned attachment is carried out on the frame body 12, as in the case of the first embodiment. The outer diameter of the coin 13 may be larger than the outer diameter of the coin 13 by moving the coin 13 in this direction. The mounting of this embodiment has only one frame, and can be used for mounting a plurality of different coins.

(Effects of the Invention) In the coin mounting according to the present invention, when the frame has a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the coin, an elastic body provided on the frame urges the coin toward the center and fixes the coin.

Therefore, in the coin mounting frame of the present invention, differences in the outer diameter of the coins can be absorbed by the radial expansion and contraction of the elastic body, and multiple coins with different outer diameters can be mounted on the frame at the same time. Multiple installations to match coins eliminates the need to purchase frames.

Furthermore, unlike conventional coin mounting frames, there is no need for the mounting structure to be detachable at one point in the circumferential direction of the frame itself, making it less expensive and easier to add additional decorations.

Furthermore, unlike conventional coin mounting frames, the shape of the frame itself is not limited to a donut shape, but the frame can be of any shape such as a triangle, square, oval, star shape, etc. Together, the diversity of designs increases dramatically.
