Definitions
- the present invention relates to a jewel in particular provided with an ornamental insert, such as for example a gem, made of stone or other material of particular aesthetic value.
- the present invention relates in particular to a ring, equipped with an ornamental insert in the form of a gem set.
- Jewels are known having resolvable hooking systems, suitably housed in the setting and capable of making the respective ornamental insert replaceable.
- the jewels of this type are particularly appreciated given their versatility and ability to adapt to the various ornamental needs without necessarily having to provide for the entire replacement of the jewel itself.
- the known resolvable hooking systems generally consist of a pair of magnetic plates of opposite charge and respectively constrained to the base of the insert and inside the compartment defined by the setting.
- the magnetic hooking systems are subject to wear and, over time, the plate material gradually loses its magnetic capacity with the consequent risk of involuntary detachment of the insert from the seat of the setting.
- the attraction force may not be sufficient to anchor inserts of very high weight with respect to the dimensions of the magnetic plates.
- the object of the present invention is to propose a jewel provided with an insert which is easily replaceable from the body of the jewel and at the same time which can be permanently associated within the setting.
- an object of the present invention is to propose a jewel, such as in particular a ring, equipped with suitable systems for anchoring the insert which are structurally simple, easy to use and able to avoid the involuntary loss of the insert from the setting. Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of a jewel according to the present invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a jewel according to the present invention, in particular in the form of a ring;
- FIGS. 2 and 3 show elevation and cross-sectional views of the jewel of Figure 1 in a condition for hooking and unhooking, respectively, of an ornamental insert;
- FIG. 4 shows a perspective and exploded view of the jewel of Figure 1 according with the present invention.
- 1 generally indicated a jewel according to the present invention.
- the jewel 1 comprises a supporting portion 2 configured to be worn by a user and having a setting 3 defining a housing compartment 4 of a respective ornamental insert 5.
- the supporting portion 2 comprises a ring 6 configured to be fitted on the user's finger.
- the ring 6 has on its peripheral development an opening 7 for housing the setting 3 defined by a respective perimeter edge 8.
- an area of the ring 6 has an enlarged section in order to obtain the aforementioned opening 7.
- the perimeter edge 8 is defined by a tapered wall 9 away from the center of the ring 6.
- the opening 7 has a decreasing section from the center of the ring 6 towards a radially more external area.
- the decreasing section is determined precisely by the inclination of the wall 9, especially in the outermost area 8a (distal from the finger wearing the ring 6) in which the section of the opening 7 decreases significantly in order to retain the setting 3 and the respective insert 5 as will be better clarified below.
- the setting 3 comprises a body 10 having a side surface 1 1 counter shaped to the perimeter edge 8 and in particular to the wall 9.
- the body 10 has a substantially frustoconical conformation, wherein the side surface 1 1 is flared and tapered towards a respective top surface 12.
- the side surface 1 1 defines a variation in thickness in cross section of the body 10 decreasing as it approaches the top surface 12.
- the body 10 of the setting 3 and consequently also the opening 7, have a substantially elliptical development in plan view. Flowever, it should be considered that this plan development can be any according to the various construction needs.
- the side surface 1 1 of the body 10 and the wall 9 are able to be coupled by mechanical interlocking along a radial direction and away from the center of the ring 6.
- the setting 3 turns out to be embedded inside the opening 7 by inserting the body 10 of the setting 3 from the center of the ring 6 and away from it. Therefore, the body 10 of the setting 3 is uncoupled from the ring 6 by pushing the body 10 itself from the outside towards the inside of the ring 6 ( Figure 3). It should be noted in this situation that in a condition of use, it is impossible to remove the setting 3 from the opening 7. In this case, in fact, the user's finger that wears the ring 6 constitutes per se a constraint to the movement of the setting 3.
- the jewel 1 further comprises a first reversible engagement member 13 interposed between the insert 5 and the setting 3 to couple/uncouple the insert 5 in the compartment 4.
- the top surface 12 of the body 10 defines the compartment 4 on which the insert 5 is reversibly engaged.
- the insert 5 which can have any aesthetic effect, has a base surface 5a which can be abutted to the aforementioned top surface 12.
- the first reversible engagement member 13 comprises a pair of magnetic plates 13a, 13b each of which is respectively located on the base surface 5a of the insert 5 and on the top surface 12.
- the plate 13b is housed in a blind hole 12a made on the top surface 12, while the plate 13a is housed in a blind hole 5c made on the base surface 5a.
- the two plates 13a, 13b are flush with the respective base surface 5a and top surface 12 to be mutually coupled and define the mutual coupling of these surfaces.
- the plates 13a, 13b have opposite charges to define a force of magnetic attraction of engagement of the insert 5 to the top surface 12 of the setting 3.
- top surface 12 has two recessed portions 12b arranged in correspondence the side surface 1 1 of the body 10 of the setting 3 ( Figure 4).
- the recessed surfaces 12b in collaboration with the base surface 5a of the insert 5, define two intervention areas for manually detaching the insert 5 from the setting 3.
- the intervention areas define gripping areas of the insert 5 in which it is possible to detach the insert 5 itself by overcoming the force of magnetic attraction generated by the plates 13a, 13b.
- the insert 5 also comprises at its base a substantially frustoconical conformation defining an inclined lateral surface 5b.
- the ornamental insert 5 remains attached to the setting 3 both thanks to the magnetic attraction force generated by the plates 13a, 13b, and thanks to the mechanical interlocking of the defined inclined planes of the wall 9, in particular the outermost area 8a, and of the lateral surface 5b.
- the jewel 1 further comprises a second reversible engagement member 14 interposed between the supporting portion 2 and the setting 3 to couple/uncouple the setting 3 itself to the supporting portion 2.
- the second engagement member 14 is configured to be switchable between a hooking condition wherein the side surface 11 of the body 10 is engaged to the wall 9 ( Figure 2) and a release condition wherein the side surface 1 1 can be released from the wall 9 ( Figure 3).
- the second reversible engagement member 14 comprises at least one thrust element 15 arranged inside a respective cavity 16 formed in the side wall 1 1 of the body 10.
- the thrust element 15 is movable between a retracted condition and an extracted condition from the side wall 1 1 of the body 10.
- a pair of thrust elements 15 is provided arranged on the opposite side on the side surface 1 1 of the body 10 of the setting 3.
- Each thrust element 15 comprises a helical spring (not visible in the accompanying figures) which is in turn housed in a cylinder 17 arranged inside said cavity 16.
- the spring is active on a spherical body 18 which in the extracted condition is at least partially protruding outside the cavity 16, while in the retracted position it is housed inside the cavity 16.
- the second reversible engagement member 14 further comprises an interlocking seat 19 for each spherical body 18 formed in the wall 9 of the edge 8.
- each spherical body 18 in the hooking condition protrudes inside the interlocking seat 19 as shown in the sectional view of Figure 2.
- a pilot hole 20 is provided in the form of a groove which guides the body 18 towards the seat 19 ( Figure 4).
- the body 10 of the setting 3 is manually pressed towards the inside of the ring 6 to slide the spherical body 18 out of the seat 19.
- the spherical body 18 is held down by the spring on the wall 9 and slides on the wall 9 itself until the body 10 is completely removed from the opening 7.
- a new insert 5 can then be coupled to the top wall 12 by magnetic attraction of the plates 13a, 13b. Subsequently, the setting 3 and insert 5 assembly is again housed in the opening 7 by inserting the setting 3 from the center of the ring 6 towards the more peripheral area.
- the setting 3 is then forced against the end portion 8a of the edge 8 to reposition each spherical body 18 in the respective seat 19.
- the present invention therefore solves the drawbacks described in the prior art and brings important advantages.
- a further advantage of the present invention is derived from the particularly simple structure of the reversible engagement members 13, 14. This structure also makes manual replacement of the insert 5 easily practicable. Moreover, it should be noted that the combined mechanical/magnetic coupling system can be used for any other type of jewel, thus making the use of this reversible hooking system particularly versatile. Finally, the presence of a mechanical system that guarantees the coupling of the insert 5 to the ring 6 allows the use of magnetic plates 13a, 13b of low magnetic capacity and therefore capable of generating a field that does not interfere with other electronic devices of the user.
