Abstract

A pearl necklace with deformable intermediate (2) pieces between two adjacent pearls and consisting of plastics thread or bendable elastic wire adhesive bonded to the pearls.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Perlenkette mit sich zwischen je zwei benachbarten Perlen erstreckenden, an den Perlen befestigten, verformbaren Zwischenstücken.The present invention relates to a string of pearls between each two adjacent Beads extending, attached to the beads, deformable spacers.

Derartige Ketten setzen sich aus einer Vielzahl von Perle-Zwischenstück-Einheiten zusammen und können in beliebigen Längen produziert werden. Die Länge ist jeweils ein Vielfaches der Perle-Zwischenstück-Einheit. Ein weiterer Vorteil derartiger Perlenketten besteht darin, dass sie nicht geknüpft werden müssen.Such chains consist of a plurality of bead-spacer units together and can be produced in any length. The length is one each Multiple of the Pearl Liner Unit. Another advantage of such pearl necklaces is that they do not have to be knotted.

Problematisch ist beim Stand der Technik allerdings die Verbindung zwischen Perle und Zwischenstücken. Aus der GB 750 737 ist eine Lösung bekannt geworden, bei der kurze, steife Zwischenstücke mit kugelförmigen Enden in Ausnehmungen der benachbarten Perlen formschlüssig einrasten. Diese Art der Verbindung löst sich allerdings bei stärkerer Zugbelastung, wodurch die Perlenkette verloren gehen kann. Auch ist die Länge der steifen Zwischenstücke beschränkt, da die Perlenkette sonst eine vieleckige Form annimmt und sich an die Halspartie der Trägerin nicht mehr formschön anpasst.The problem with the prior art, however, the connection between pearl and Between pieces. From GB 750 737 a solution has become known in which short, rigid spacers with spherical ends in recesses of the adjacent beads engage positively. However, this type of connection dissolves in stronger Tensile load, which can cause the pearl necklace to be lost. Also, the length is stiff Restricted intermediate pieces, since the pearl necklace otherwise assumes a polygonal shape and itself no longer nicely adapts to the wearer's neck.

Bei der US 6,053,009 bestehen die Zwischenstücke jeweils aus einer mehrgliedrigen Kette, die mittels Zwischenstiften an zwei nebeneinander liegenden Stellen der Perlen verankert wird. Die als Kette ausgebildeten Zwischenstücke können auf diese Weise in beliebiger Länge ausgebildet werden, die Anbindung an die Perlen über Zwischenstifte ist allerdings mit hohem Produktionsaufwand verbunden.In US 6,053,009, the intermediate pieces each consist of a multi-link chain, anchored by means of intermediate pins at two adjacent points of the beads becomes. Trained as a chain spacers can in this way in any Length are formed, the connection to the beads over intermediate pins is, however, with high production costs associated.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine herstellungstechnisch einfache Variante für Zwischenstücke anzubieten, wobei die Zwischenstücke gleichzeitig einen formschönen, runden Verlauf der Kette gewährleisten.Object of the present invention is therefore a manufacturing technology simple Offer variant for intermediate pieces, wherein the intermediate pieces simultaneously a shapely, ensure round course of the chain.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, dass die Zwischenstücke Kunststofffäden oder biegeelastische Drähte sind.This is inventively achieved in that the intermediate pieces of plastic threads or bending elastic wires are.

Die Kunststofffäden oder biegeelastischen Drähte sind einerseits steif genug, um direkt in Öffnungen in den Perlen eingeführt, um dort verankert werden zu können. Gleichzeitig weisen Kunststofffäden wie biegeelastische Drähte eine ausreichende Flexibilität auf, sodass sich die Zwischenstücke und damit die Perlenkette insgesamt optimal an den Körper der Trägerin anlegen. The plastic threads or bending elastic wires are on the one hand stiff enough to be directly in Openings inserted in the beads to be anchored there. simultaneously Plastic threads such as flexible elastic wires have sufficient flexibility so that the spacers and thus the pearl necklace altogether optimally to the body of the Wear the wearer.

Ausreichende Steifigkeit zum Einführen in die Perlen sowie hohe Flexibilität werden in besonderem Maße durch Nylonfäden als Zwischenstücke erreicht.Sufficient stiffness for insertion into the beads as well as high flexibility are in particular extent achieved by nylon threads as spacers.

Produktionstechnisch besonders einfach ist es, wenn die Zwischenstücke in die Perlen ausschließlich eingeklebt sind, wobei sich als Kleber UV-Kleber besonders bewährt haben.Production technology is particularly easy when the spacers in the beads are glued exclusively, which have proven particularly useful as adhesive UV adhesive.

Günstig ist es, wenn die Zwischenstücke in den Perlen miteinander verklebt sind. Selbst wenn sich die Klebeverbindung zwischen den Zwischenstücken und der jeweiligen Perle löst, so ist doch die direkte Verbindung der Zwischenstücke nach wie vor eine geschlossene Kette gegeben, die nicht verloren geht. Die einzig negative Folge besteht in einem Verrutschen der Perle bezüglich der Zwischenstücke.It is advantageous if the spacers are glued together in the beads. Even when the adhesive bond between the spacers and the respective bead dissolves, so the direct connection of the intermediate pieces is still a closed one Given chain that is not lost. The only negative consequence is one Slipping of the bead with respect to the intermediate pieces.

Die erfindungsgemäße Perlenkette besteht gemäß Fig. 1 aus einer Vielzahl von Perlen 1, wobei der Begriff "Perle" breit zu sehen ist. Es kann sich sowohl um echte Perlen, wie auch Glas- oder Kunststoffperlen handeln, deren Oberfläche bearbeitet, beispielsweise geschliffen, sein kann oder nicht. Auch die Farb- und Formgestaltung der Perlen 1 ist unabhängig vom Erfindungsgedanken. Zwischen den Perlen 1 sind jeweils Zwischenstücke 2 angeordnet, die in den angrenzenden Perlen 1 verankert sind. Die Perlenkette setzt sich somit insgesamt aus einer Vielzahl von Perle-Zwischenstück-Einheiten zusammen.The pearl necklace according to the invention consists of FIG. 1 of a plurality of beads 1, where the term "pearl" is to be seen broadly. It can be both real pearls, as well Glass or plastic beads act whose surface processed, for example honed, may or not. The color and shape of the beads 1 is independent of the idea of the invention. Between the beads 1 are each intermediate pieces. 2 arranged anchored in the adjacent beads 1. The pearl necklace sits down thus altogether composed of a plurality of bead-spacer units.

In Fig. 2 ist im Detail die Verankerung der Zwischenstücke 2 gezeigt.In Fig. 2, the anchoring of the spacers 2 is shown in detail.

Bei den Zwischenstücken handelt es sich entweder um Kunststofffäden oder biegeelastische Drähte. Bevorzugt werden Nylonfäden als Zwischenstücke 2 verwendet. Die Biegeelastizität der Drähte kann auch durch eine Federwicklung der Drähte erreicht werden.The spacers are either plastic filaments or flexurally elastic Wires. Preferably, nylon threads are used as intermediate pieces 2. The bending elasticity The wires can also be achieved by a spring winding of the wires.

Die Perlen 1 weisen eine Durchgangsöffnung 3 auf, deren Durchmesser etwas größer ist als der Durchmesser der aus Nylonfäden gebildeten Zwischenstücke 2. Vor dem Einführen der Zwischenstücke 2 wird in die Durchgangsöffnung 3 der Perle 1 ein Kleber 4 angebracht. Bewährt haben sich Einkomponentenkleber, die unter UV-Licht oder Wärme aushärten, wobei auch andere Kleber geeignet sind.The beads 1 have a passage opening 3 whose diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the intermediate pieces formed of nylon threads 2. Before inserting the Intermediate pieces 2 is in the through hole 3 of the bead 1, an adhesive 4 attached. One-component adhesives that have been proven under UV light or heat have proved their worth cure, with other adhesives are suitable.

Anschließend wird von beiden Seiten ein Zwischenstück 2 in die Durchgangsöffnung 3 eingeschoben, wobei die Zwischenstücke 2 auf Stoß miteinander und mit der Perle 1 verklebt werden.Subsequently, an intermediate piece 2 in the through hole 3 from both sides inserted, wherein the intermediate pieces 2 in abutment with each other and with the pearl. 1 be glued.

Eine alternative Ausführungsform ist in Fig. 3 gezeigt, in der die Perle 1 statt der Durchgangsöffnung 3 zwei Sacklöcher 5 aufweist. In diese Sacklöcher 5 ist jeweils ein Zwischenstück 2 mittels des Klebers 4 eingeklebt.An alternative embodiment is shown in Fig. 3, in which the bead 1 instead of the Through opening 3 has two blind holes 5. In these blind holes 5 is one Intermediate piece 2 glued by means of the adhesive 4.
