Description

Jewelery or jewelry piece.

Object of the invention

The main object of the present invention is a piece of jewelry or jewelry that supports configurations versatile

Background of the invention

Nowadays jewelry pieces are known or costume jewelry based on successive elements or accounts linked together, usually forming closed ties such as bracelets, necklaces, chokers, etc.

The union between the elements is constituted by cords, chains or mechanical hooks.

Although in some cases they have implements, mechanics also, to regulate its length, normally its length is fixed, as well as its configuration (arrangement of the elements, their typology, etc). These two circumstances represent an obvious limitation of the versatility of  use and practicality of these pieces of jewelry or imitation jewelry.

Description of the invention

The piece of jewelry or jewelry of the invention It has a simple constitution that provides, among others, the following advantages:

Increase your versatility as it is capable of adopt different configurations: necklace, bracelet, with the same elements. In addition it also adopts different configurations, within of the same type of piece (necklace or bracelet) to be able to arrange your elements in different positions.

Allows the insertion of various utensils, of customizable mode

According to the invention, the piece of jewelry or jewelry comprises an adjacent arrangement of elements, which comprise magnetic sectors and / or magnetizable from opposite polarities, meeting the elements arranged such that some of the positive sectors belonging to each element they are close to some of the sectors negatives belonging to contiguous elements, to establish magnetic forces of attraction capable of maintaining the union between the elements with their contiguous during the use of the piece. At the same time, the intensity of the magnetic attraction will allow the manual separation of the elements to put on or take off the piece, or to mount different configurations.

When talking about magnetic sectors or magnetizable in this text, reference is made to sectors consisting of permanent magnets or property materials magnetic that are capable of being attracted by permanent magnets; so that two adjacent sectors can be constituted by two properly arranged permanent magnets (with polarities opposite), or one of them may be constituted by a permanent magnet and the other by a material capable of being attracted by the permanent magnet.

Therefore the elements can be placed in multiple configurations and positions, configuring necklaces, bracelets, and other pieces, of greater or lesser length, with one or several branches, and with different locations of the motifs Ornamental, inserts or colors that each element has.

In addition the elements can implement designs complete or fragmented. In the case of fragmented designs, it provides an alternative playful utility such as head breakers or puzzle, where it comes to recompose the complete design.

Similarly, some of the elements may incorporate various utensils (watches, mobile phones or parts of them) increasing not only the versatility of the piece of jewelry and jewelry, but giving additional features.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

The piece (1) of jewelry or jewelry invention comprises an adjacent arrangement of elements (2) that they include magnetic and / or magnetizable sectors (4, 4a) for the union of the elements (2) with each other by forces magnetic attraction between sectors (4, 4a).

The sectors (4, 4a) comprise sectors positive (4) and negative sectors (4a), according to their polarity magnetic The elements (2) are arranged such that some of the positive sectors (4) belonging to each element (2) are close to some of the negative sectors (4a) adjacent elements (2) belonging, generating forces magnetic attraction between them.

The expected magnetic power for the sectors (4, 4a) is enough to maintain the union between the elements (2) while using the piece (1) of jewelry or jewelry, and allow a manual separation of them, at the time of put on or take off the piece (1).

The elements (2) have surfaces of mutual contact (5, 50), in the vicinity of which sectors are willing (4, 4a).

Some of the contact surfaces may be convex contact surfaces (5) as shown in the Figures 2 to 4, allowing articulation (relative turns) between elements (2) by rolling. Similarly, some of the contact surfaces can be flat contact surfaces (50) (only shown in Figure 11), which increases the area of contact between the elements (2).

In figures 1, 6 and 8, zones can be seen of contact by means of convex contact surfaces (5) provided in adjacent elements (2): in figure 1 the ends of All elements (2) are rounded. In figure 6 all Elements (2) are cylindrical. In figure 8 the elements (2) are spheres and cylinders. In all cases they are in contact by curved-convex areas.

Figures 5 and 7 show areas of contact by convex contact surfaces (5) against flat contact surfaces (50). The elements (2) comprise cylinders and prisms, such that the flat faces of the prisms they contact the convex side face of the prisms.

Figure 11 shows areas of contact via flat contact surfaces (50), between elements (2) that make up the cross (20). The edges are appreciated (14) delimiting said flat contact surfaces (50).

Some of the elements (2) can form linear arrangements (11), as seen in figures 1, 5 to 7, 8, 9 and 11. Also some of the elements (2) can form matrix arrangements (12), that is, by rows and columns. In the  Figure 11 shows a combination of both provisions, where the linear arrangement (11) configures a bracelet or pendant, and the Matrix arrangement (12) configures the cross (20). In figures 9 and 10 shows a piece (1) of the invention that can be adopted alternatively both arrangements or configurations. In the Figure 9 adopts a linear arrangement (11), forming a bracelet, and in figure 10 it adopts a matrix configuration (12).

The elements (2) can incorporate designs surface, for example engraved or screen printed, which can be complete designs (6), that is, an independent design in each element (2) as seen in figure 8, or they may be portions (6a) of complete designs (6). In addition, portions (6a) of the designs complete (6) can be found distributed in one direction, such as  it is seen in figure 1, or in two directions as seen in figure 10. Therefore, the recomposition of the complete design (6) implies correct placement of the elements (2) in positions determined. The elements (2) that make up the piece (1), in the bracelet configuration of figure 9 are messy, but once correctly placed in matrix arrangement they recompose the complete design, forming a puzzle.

The elements (2) can implement a coating (8), as seen in Figure 12, which in this case It comprises at least one layer of protective lacquer.

Finally, the elements (2) can incorporate decorative inserts, not represented (for example stones precious or similar), and / or utensils (9) that give functionalities additional to the piece (1) of jewelry. These utensils (9) can understand clocks, compasses, calendars, cell phones, and in  general any utensil capable of adopting an appropriate size. In Figure 11 shows a tool (9) consisting of a clock incorporated in the central element (2) of the matrix arrangement (12) that configures the cross (20).
