Definitions

the invention relates to a variable-length chain element, in particular for jewelry chains.
Length-variable chain elements for jewelry chains have been known for a long time. They are used to extend the jewelry chains for stripping over the hand for chain bracelets, or over the head for necklaces. This is usually done by using longitudinally elastic chain elements, which extend under the action of a force acting in the longitudinal direction of the chain and return to their original length as soon as the force effect ceases.
Such an embodiment is e.g. B. from DE-PS 262 710 known.
this design has disadvantages. For example, stripping, especially with necklaces, is tedious, since the chain must be stretched with both hands, losing its round shape, which makes stripping easier, and must also be moved over the head.
such chains always have only a certain chain length that is predetermined during production and can generally only be changed by a person skilled in the art.
the object of the invention is to provide a variable-length chain element which enables the length of the jewelry chain to be changed, so that the chain can be conveniently stripped off and can also be worn with different lengths.
variable-length chain element with two chain links extending in the longitudinal direction of the chain, the first chain link having a longitudinally extending depression on both sides, in which the second chain link is guided in a longitudinally movable manner and in that both chain links are in at least one position are held relative to each other.
the solution according to the invention offers a number of advantages.
the length of the chain can be changed continuously or discontinuously without elastic restoring forces occurring. This makes stripping the chain easier, on the other hand, it is possible to change the chain length to make it z. Anzupassen.Des example of the respective clothing or fashion certain requirements
FIG. 1 A first embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 1.
the lateral depressions 3 of the first chain link 1 are designed as a slot, as can be seen in FIG. 2.
the second chain link 2 which is bent in a U-shape in this case, is guided in these lateral depressions.
the holes 4 and 5 serve to connect the chains g with the rest of the chain.
the elements are held by the web 6 arranged transversely to the chain element.
This web has a circular cross section and is firmly enclosed on one side 6 ', on the other side 6 "it is guided into a sliding fit so that the elastic spreading of the second chain element is facilitated.
a projection 7 is arranged on one side of the chain element (see FIG. 3), over which the chain link 2 is pushed with elastic spreading until the chain link 2 engages with the recess 8 on the projection 7 and is thereby held in place
the first chain link 10 is designed with a closed cross-section, as shown in Fig. 5.
the second chain link 11 is, as In the previous embodiment, U-shaped, the opening in the direction of the first chain link indicates. This makes it possible to split the chain element to open the chain.
one or more projections are provided on one of the chain links, which cooperate with corresponding depressions on the other chain link.
both chain links 20, 21, which form the variable-length chain element are U-shaped and each have a web 23, 24 arranged in the transverse direction, which extends the chain element with the greatest possible extension to back up.
a recess 22 can be provided in the two chain links 20, 21 in order to connect the chain link to further chain links, the material cross section of which is greater than the distance between the legs of the chain link 20, 21.
the length-adjustable chain element can, if used within a jewelry chain, be made from all materials common in the jewelry field. These include e.g. stainless steel and materials containing silver, gold, platinum and titanium. Furthermore, it is also possible to manufacture the variable-length chain element from two different materials.
variable-length chain element allows the element to be advantageously adapted to the aesthetic requirements of jewelry production. It is therefore possible to make a jewelry chain from several of these variable-length chain elements. Different ones of the above-mentioned embodiments can also be interconnected within a chain be combined.
