Joints and their use, such as for the manufacture of jewelery or straps, belts or belts for use in clothing or accessories

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a joint for the manufacture of jewelery such as bracelets, watch straps or necklaces, or for the manufacture of straps, straps or the like, included in clothing, or included in clothing accessories such as belts or bags in which the joint is made of two link members, each link portion having a front face and a back side, the back side of the link members comprising at least two parallel rows of projections having a length 1, and each projection having a through bore, the projections of each row being spaced apart to the length 1 of the projections, and that the projections in a second row are axially offset with the distance 1 relative to the projections in a first row, and so that each projection in a second row is arranged next to a space in the first row.

The invention also relates to the use of the joint in jewelery or in the manufacture of straps, belts or the like, which are included in clothing, or which are included in clothing accessories, such as belts or bags.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Joints are known for various purposes, such as jewelry, for example bracelets and necklaces, watch chains and the like.

Joints of this type are usually formed with hinge elements along a side edge. On one side, for example, there are two female parts, for example, pipe pieces spaced apart by these female parts. On the opposite side edge, there is a corresponding female part of a length which allows this female part to be inserted between the two female parts on another joint and arranged so that the holes through the female parts are coaxial. This type of joint is typically assembled by mounting a pin through these coaxial female parts.

Examples of such links to watch chains and / or jewelry in the form of necklaces, bracelets and the like are shown, for example, in GB 1238083, CH 666994 A5, DE 8904193 U1 and US 2442546A.

These types of joints all have the disadvantage that the joint lies between the joints and therefore will appear as an actual chain or chain. Furthermore, this type of joint is not suitable for joining with cords or thread, for example, of nylon, linen, cotton or similar fiber-based cords or leather, or, for example, metal wire or metal wires. There are also chain links for jewelery and the like, where two halves of the joint are clamped around an intermediate joint, see for example KR 101466040 A. The two joint members comprise a bore and an opposite pin, respectively, and the joint is joined by a press fit where the pin (s) on one joint is inserted into a bore on the other joint.

Finally, there are jewelery in which joints, especially beads, are drawn on a thread of fibrous material, leather or metal or bonded together with thread of, for example, metal.

There are also jewelery in which joints or beads are integrated into a knot band made of a leather thread or fiber material for example cotton thread, nylon thread or the like, also called macramé, see for example USD 681498S.

The object of the invention

It is an object of the invention to provide a link for jewelry, such as bracelets or necklaces, for use in watch chains or to be included in clothing or in accessories, for example belts, handles and / or straps or decoration on, for example, bags or clothing.

It is also an object of the invention to provide links which are simple to manufacture and / or simple to assemble of two link parts.

It is also an object of the invention to provide link parts for joints which are very flexible in use, since it is possible to join the joints with other joints in several ways.

It is also an object of the invention to provide articulated articulated articulated joints, as it is possible to assemble articulated articulated articulated articulates from articulated articulates or articulated parts, for example, with different decorations and / or different designs. materials.

Description of the Invention

These objects are achieved by providing a joint of the type mentioned at the outset, which is characterized in that each projection has a through bore, that the through bore in the projections in each row is coaxial, and that the joints are formed by laying the backs of two link portions. so that the projections in the second row of the first joint member are inserted into the spaces between the projections of the first row of the second joint member to form a continuous coaxial bore.

This provides easy-to-assemble joints. In addition, joints that can be assembled are obtained so that the front and back of the joints are different or the same according to the expression desired on the finished product. The joints are also lightweight and inexpensive to manufacture and can be mass-produced for purposes where large volumes are needed.

In addition, it is possible to customize a piece of jewelry, for example a bracelet or necklace to the wishes of the buyer, so that the customer selects the desired joints which are then mounted in the piece, for example by pulling on a thread, ribbon or string or by tying the joints together with thread, cord or ribbon, for example by tying the joints into a bracelet or necklace. Alternatively, the joints may be included in a belt or a strap or a hank for a bag or strap which may be part of a piece of clothing.

The projections with the through bores on the back of the joints are, as mentioned above, arranged in at least two parallel rows of projections. Since the projections in each row are arranged offset relative to the projections in the second row, the number of projections in the rows will preferably be different so that the number of spaces between the projections in the first row corresponds to the number of projections in the second row. For example, if there are two projections in the first row, there will be a projection in the second row. If there are three projections in the first row, there will be two projections in the second row, etc. It is thus possible to make the joints with two rows with 2-1, 3-2, 4-3, 5-4 projections in the first and second respectively. series.

The linkage members are preferably locked to each other by inserting a pin, wire or cord through the through bore in the projections which, after assembly of the linkage members, are arranged in extension of each other for at least two rows. The pin may be solid or hollow to form a tube. This technique can be used with string / wire material that does not have a consistent material thickness. The two pipes can be inserted as a kind of lock and then the selected string / wire type is passed through the pipes.

By locking the hinge members together by inserting the pin into the through bore in the projections with press fit, it is achieved that the hinge members are fixed in relation to each other and are not immediately separable again.

It is possible to arrange more than two rows of projections. In this case, it is important that the rows of projections are also positioned so that the rows engage with each other when a second articulation is turned 180 ° when two articulated parts with the same back sides are directed towards each other so that the projections fit in a number of spaces in the spaces between the projections in a corresponding row on the second joint.

It is preferred that the rear of the link members comprise one or more grooves which are preferably parallel to the rows of the projections. When the joint members join together, these grooves will form a continuous bore through the joint. The bore (s) can be used to pull the joint on a wire, string or ribbon by passing it through the bore. Thereby the joints can be joined to a longer chain or they can be tied together with thread. It is also possible to include the joints in a knotted band where the joint is pulled on the middle or middle cord around which the knotted band is formed.

For example, wires or wires made of metal can be used, see material selection for the joints below, to tie the joints together. Alternatively, tapes of textile or leather may be used or fibers of fibers, for example nylon, polyester, cotton, flax, silk or mixtures thereof. Silicone and rubber cords can also be used.

It is preferred that the hinge members comprise a groove along the edge of the back, such as side edges and preferably also the end edges, of the hinge members to form a longitudinal groove in the sides or side surfaces of the joint and preferably also in the end surfaces of the joint when the two hinge members are joined to a joint.

This track is thus in the same plane as the back side plane in the overall joint. The groove on the outside of the joints is used to receive a ribbon or thread or string when the joints are joined to a chain by tying ribbon around and / or through the joints, or for example being inserted into a knotted ribbon. For example, both the chain and the knotted belt can be used for use in a belt, a bracelet, a necklace, a handle or strap on a bag or similar uses.

The shape of the joints can be varied and a wide variety of shapes are possible, since it is only necessary that two joint parts can be joined to one joint when one joint part is rotated 180 ° relative to the other joint part. Thus, the cross-section of the joints may also be, for example, rectangular, oval or circular cross-section or may be, for example, polygonal, for example 6, 8, 10 edges or more. It is the shape of the back of the joint that is important in order to assemble the joints into aesthetically acceptable joints. Thus, the circumference of the back of the articulated joints must be equal when rotated 180 ° about the center of the back. The spatial shape of the joints can be varied by changing the shape of the front and is thus not limiting the joints. For example, it is possible to make a spherical joint by having the face of a circular joint part hemispherical.

The size of the joints and thus the joints can also be adapted to the purpose. Thus, it may be possible to make larger joints for use in belts or straps for, for example, bags, while joints to be included in a piece of jewelry will typically be smaller.

The hinge members are preferably formed in one piece. Joint parts made in one piece, such as by casting, make production simple and inexpensive. Furthermore, it is quick and inexpensive to mass-produce a large amount of similar joint parts.

The link members may be made of a wide variety of possible materials, for example metals or metal alloys such as steel, silver, gold, copper, titanium, bronze, white metal, platinum (platinum metal) and / or alloys thereof. Alternatively, the hinge members may be made of synthetic materials such as plastics and / or combinations thereof. The joints may also be made of ceramic, stone, gemstone, semi-precious stone, crystal or glass. Wood or 3D print materials can also be used to make the joints.

The front of the joints may be without decoration or the front may be decorated. The decoration may include, for example, coatings with metals, stones, for example, semi-precious and semi-precious stones, beads, embossed or painted patterns, coloring, for example, with enamel, paint, colored lacquer, or foils adhered to the front of the joint. Of course, it is also possible that any decoration on the front of the joint includes combinations of these options.

Finally, the invention relates to the use of joints as described above for the manufacture of jewelry, such as bracelets, watch straps or necklaces, for example by joining the joints with thread or cord as described above, for example by joining the joints in a knotted band, also called macramé ribbons. The joints can also be used to make belts or straps, belts or the like, which are included in clothing, or which are included in clothing accessories such as belts or bags. On bags, the joints can be used to make straps, for example, shoulder straps or handles / handles on bags, for example by tying the joints together with thread or string as described above.

Character description

The invention will be described in the following with reference to the drawing, in which: FIG. 1 shows a link according to the invention, which is assembled by two link parts, shown in perspective FIG. 2 shows the two joint parts before assembly, seen in perspective,

FIG. 3 is a side view of the two joints before assembly,

FIG. 4 shows the back of a linkage according to the invention,

FIG. 5 is a side view of the joint, and

FIG. 6 shows a linked bracelet comprising several links according to the invention.

Detailed description of the invention

FIG. 1 shows a link 1 according to the invention. In the figures shown, the joint is shown in a square variant, but as already mentioned above, the joints 1 may take other forms.

A link 1 consists of two link portions 2a, 2b having a front face 3 and a back face 4, see for example fig. 2nd

The backside 4 is similar on the link members 2a, 2b and is best seen in FIG. 4. On the reverse side, in the shown variant of the link members 2a, 2b, two rows 7a, 7b of projection 5 are arranged. In the first row 7b there are two projections 5, and in the second row 7a there is a projection 5 which is placed outside the space between the projections 5 in the first row 7a.

The projections 5 in the two rows 7a, 7b have the same length seen in the longitudinal axis of the row. The spaces 5 'between the projections 5 are substantially the same length as the projections 5, since it must be possible to insert projections 5 on the first link part 2a into spaces 5' on the second link part 2b and vice versa.

The projections 5 all have a through bore 6 extending through the projection in the longitudinal direction of the row 7. Thus, when the two hinge members 2a, 2b are joined to a hinge 1, all the bores 6 of the projections 5 in a row 7 will be coaxial and extend in succession.

This results in a through bore 6 in which fasteners can be mounted

8. In FIG. 2, two pins 8 are shown which can be inserted through the bores 6, for example by press fit, so that the two link parts 2a, 2b are held relative to each other. Alternatively to the pins 8 shown, hollow pins or tubes can be used. The two pipes can be inserted as a kind of lock and then the selected string / wire type is passed through the pipes.

Alternatively, thread, cord or the like may be passed through the bores 6 as described above to hold the link members 2a, 2b relative to each other and / optionally tie several links 1 together to a chain.

The back side 4 of the hinge member preferably also includes one or more through-going grooves 9, which are preferably parallel to the rows 7a, 7b of projections 5. In the shown variant, this groove 9 is located along the center line of the rear side of the hinge members 4 when the hinge members 2a, 2b the two grooves on each link portion 2a, 2b together define a through bore 9 through link 1.

A joint 1 is joined in that the back side 4 of two link parts 2a, 2b is directed against each other as shown in FIG. 2, after which the fastening means, in the example shown the pins 8, are mounted in the bores 6.

After that, the joints can be joined to a chain or the like. FIG. 6 shows an example of a product where the joints can be included. Here, the joints are used as decoration in an attached bracelet 11. The bracelet is attached by cords 12, for example of nylon or as described above, and the joints are drawn on the middle cord (not shown) by the middle bore 9. Along the edges of the joints, the cords 12 lie in the edge groove 10 on the joints. This ensures that the joints 1 remain mounted correctly in the bracelet 11 and cannot rotate around the middle cord (not shown). Thereby, the bracelet retains its appearance even after prolonged use.
