Definitions

the invention relates to an ornament, with a support body and an at least two-piece ornamental body, which is connected to the support body, wherein the ornamental body has a base member and a cover member detachably coupled to the base member.
the prior art provides for the replacement of the flower and proposes for this purpose, inter alia, a bayonet closure, by means of which the pin is attached to the bead or the gemstone in the support body. That is relatively expensive.
the design options are limited because the flower must be equipped because of the described attachment with a mostly centrally mounted hole. As a result, only special flowers are used or they must be prepared accordingly prior to their use. This is where the invention starts.
the invention is based on the technical problem of further developing such an article of jewelery so that the ornamental body permits different designs in a simple and functionally reliable manner.
a generic jewelry item in the invention is characterized in that the base member and the cover member are magnetically releasably connected together.
the base member and the cover member may abut each other directly or at a predetermined distance from each other, wherein in the base member and / or the cover element at least one magnet is embedded and the respective counter-element is at least magnetizable in the region of this magnet or the magnet opposite.
the base member and the cover element may abut each other directly or at a predetermined distance from each other, wherein in the base member and / or the cover element at least one magnet is embedded and the respective counter-element is at least magnetizable in the region of this magnet or the magnet opposite.
a magnetic connector between the base element and cover element is realized. This not only ensures the desired magnetically detachable connection between the cover element and the base element, but at the same time ensures their mutual alignment by the realized plug connection. That is, the magnetic connector provides for the releasable connection and at the same time the centering of the base element and cover element against each other.
the magnetic connector may have at least one engaging in an associated recess pin.
the pin and the recess are usually found on different elements, for example, the pin is arranged on the cover element, while the base element has the associated recess, or vice versa.
the pin and / or the recess are equipped with at least one permanent magnet.
This can be such that the said permanent magnet is embedded in the pin, for example, on the head side or attached to it at the head end.
the permanent magnet can also be placed in the recess, for example at its base. If only one permanent magnet in the pin and / or in the recess is realized, it must be ensured that the respective counterpart is designed to be magnetizable. Because the ornamental body is often completely or partially made of a non-magnetisable precious metal.
the pin will usually be embodied, for example, as a magnetizable steel pin or the like. If, on the other hand, the pin is equipped with the said permanent magnet in its interior or on the head side, it must be ensured that the recess can be magnetized at its bottom and / or in the region of its wall, for example as a steel sleeve or the like.
a substantially flat decorative object can be arranged between the base element and the cover element. This must be contrary to State of the art ultimately can not be reworked. Rather, it is sufficient that he finds space between the two opposite connectors. If such magnetic connectors are not realized, the aforementioned flat ornamental subject is even practically no restrictions on its exterior design. As a result, special - and especially easy to change - fashionable accents are set, which has not allowed the prior art so far.
the decorative item may be, for example, a colored plastic film that may be laminated.
a colored plastic film that may be laminated.
(colored) plastic discs are conceivable as decorative objects at this point, as well as non-transparent metal discs, wood discs, etc. It is only important that the decorative item is possibly adapted to the one or the two magnetic connectors, that has corresponding recesses ,
the base element provides a support surface for the decorative item, which is bordered by the two magnetic connectors. If the decorative item adheres to this limitation by the two magnetic connectors, can be selectively and as it were modular place the previously described different decorative items between base element and cover element.
the exchange is easy and easy, because the magnetic connector can be solved directly - even by untrained persons.
the respective magnetic connector can be beautifully designed. Nevertheless, sufficient holding forces of up to 10 N or even up to 20 N are built, which ensure the necessary hold between the base element and cover element.
the support body can have virtually any configuration. This may be a brooch, a pendant, an ear clip, a belt buckle, a ring, earring, cufflink, etc. It is also within the scope of the invention, if the base element of the ornamental body and the support body are integrally formed. As a result, the jewelry objects enumerated above by way of example can be individualized according to the invention in a simple and modular manner with regard to the desired appearance, which the prior art has hitherto considered impossible. Of course, it is also conceivable and is within the scope of the invention, when the base member and the support body are not made in one piece and enter, for example, a detachable connection. This detachable connection can be designed as a screw connection, bayonet connection or else as a magnetic connection. Here are the main benefits.
a jewelry item which has a support body 1 in its basic structure.
the support body 1 is not limited to a ring which may be formed as a finger ring or as an earring.
the support body 1 can also be a brooch, a cuff link or a belt buckle. This does not change the following description of the principle of the invention.
an at least two-part ornamental body 2 is provided which is composed of a base element 2a and a cover element 2b detachably coupled to the base element 2a.
the support body 1 and the base member 2a are made in one piece.
the invention also includes variants in such a way that the base element 2a is designed separately from the support body 1 and can be detachably connected thereto. This is not shown.
the invention provides for the detachable connection between the base member 2a and the cover member 2b, a magnetic connection. That is, the two aforementioned elements 2a, 2b are magnetically releasably connected to each other.
two magnetic plug connections 3a, 3b are used between the base element 2a and the cover element 2b.
the cover element 2b and the base element 2a but also without additional connector are magnetically releasably coupled together. Then, either in the base element 2a or the cover element 2b or in both elements 2a, 2b, a permanent magnet 6 is inserted and both elements 2a, 2b are flush with each other. This variant is not shown.
the respective magnetic connector 3a, 3b is in the context of the embodiment and not restrictive from at least one pin 3a and a recess 3b together, in which the pin 3a (preferably form-fitting) engages.
the pin 3a is connected to the cover element 2b, embedded in the context of the embodiment in an associated recess 4.
the pin 3a can be anchored in any conceivable manner in the recess 4, for example, be adhesively connected by a solder with the cover element 2b.
an adhesive connection, screw, bayonet connection, etc. is conceivable at this point. Since both the cover element 2b and the support body 1 are made of metal, preferably of a noble metal such as gold and / or silver, the connection methods described above, such as the solder joint, a welded joint or a screw or plug connection are recommended.
the pin 3a dips into the recess 3b adapted to the pin 3a.
the pin 3a and the recess 3b enter into a substantially positive connection.
the recess 3b is provided in the base element 2a, although of course the cover element 2b can be equipped with the recess 3b, in which case the base element 2a has the pin 3a.
both the base element 2a and the cover element 2b with pin 3a and recess 3b can be equipped.
the pin 3a and / or the recess 3b have at least one permanent magnet 6.
This permanent magnet 6 may be designed platelet or disc-shaped and usually has a diameter of a few millimeters, for example, less than 5 mm, preferably less than 3 mm. Its strength is in the millimeter range, usually below 2 mm, preferably less than 1 mm. Nevertheless, such a permanent magnet is able to build up holding forces up to 10 N or even more, which is completely sufficient for the application described here.
the recess 3b is equipped with the said permanent magnet 6.
this permanent magnet 6 is located at the bottom of said recess 3b, that is, it is embedded in this recess 3b.
the associated counter-element that is, the 3b engaging in the recess 3b, magnetizable designed, the cover element 2b is properly held on the base member 2a, as soon as the two pins 3a are immersed in the associated recesses 3b.
the pin 3a is made magnetizable, in the present case as a steel pin.
another magnet 6 could be additionally or alternatively inserted into the pin 3a.
the recess 3b would then have to be made magnetizable. This is indicated by FIG. 1.
a steel sleeve 5 is pressed into the recess 3b, which is magnetized by the embedded in the pin 3a permanent magnet 6 and the desired attraction between the steel sleeve 5 and the pin 3a respectively between the recess 3b and the pin 3a causes.
both the base element 2a and the cover element 2b are each designed like a disk and formed from their outer dimensions substantially equal in size or adapted to each other. That is, both elements 2a, 2b have the common axis of rotational symmetry M, opposite which the magnetic connectors 3a, 3b are arranged diametrically opposite one another.
the cover element 2b undergoes a detachable and unambiguous fixing in comparison to the base element 2a.
a substantially flat decorative object 7 can be received between the base element 2a and the cover element 2b. It only needs to be taken care that this decorative item 7 has a matched to a distance A of the two magnetic connectors 3a, 3b outer circumference. Just as well succeeds the inclusion of the decorative item 7, if in the region of the magnetic connectors 3a, 3b corresponding recesses and / or recesses are provided herein.
the decorative item 7 is at least partially transparent (with respect to visible light) executed. Due to the fact that in addition both the cover element 2a and the base element 2b are each equipped with concentric recesses 8, 9, the transparent ornament 7 opens up a view of the support body 1 below. This can be attached to the thus accessible surface 10 with special optical elements Accents be provided, for example, have a brushed surface. In addition, it is conceivable to use the respective magnetic connector 3a, 3b respectively the pins 3a respectively as lateral edge stops for the decorative item 7, which is thereby automatically positioned between the cover element 2b and the base member 2a.
