Benefits of technology

"The invention is a new bracelet or necklace link and method that saves time and money by not requiring additional molding or material to produce the male and female portions. The links are threaded together on a wire that runs through openings in the links, and soldering is only required at the beginning and end of the assembling process. This new method allows for easier and faster assembly of bracelets and necklaces."

Problems solved by technology

In the prior art, the assembly of tennis bracelets is a long process.
This is a difficult and time consuming process because each soldered joint is very small and there are a large number of these joints in a typical bracelet or necklace, each of which must be soldered separately.
The resulting product does not always turn out straight or accurate due to the fact that the links are fitted one by one, and then each soldered separately at the joint.

Embodiment Construction

[0021] Referring first to FIG. 10, a single link according to the present invention contains a main body portion 110 and a setting 112 for a stone 114. Of course, it should be recognized that body portion 110 can be almost any shape, and neither the setting nor the stone form part of the invention, although such elements typically would be present in a tennis bracelet or other bracelet which includes diamonds or other stones. Typically, all of the links used in a particular bracelet will be identically shaped, but the invention also contemplates using links not all of which are identically shaped. Also shown in FIG. 10 is cable or wire 116a and 116b. FIGS. 11 and 12 show the same elements as FIG. 10 from different viewpoints. Also shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 are openings 118a and 118b, which are sized to receive cable or wire 116a and 116b. Although the figures illustrate a relatively snug fit between the cable or wire and the openings, the relative snugness or looseness of the fit may...

Abstract

A bracelet or necklace link and method for facilitating the assembling of tennis bracelets (gold links set with diamonds), other bracelets and necklaces. A wire or rail or cable is used to assemble the links to form a bracelet or necklace. In this manner, the links do not need to be connected one by one, and soldered one by one, but rather they are threaded together on a wire that runs through openings in the links. The soldering is performed only at the beginning and end of the assembling of the bracelet or necklace, at the first and last links, with no need to solder each and every link at the joint.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention is in the field of jewelry bracelets and necklaces and methods for making jewelry, specifically, methods for making bracelets and necklaces with a specific emphasis on tennis bracelets. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] In the prior art, the assembly of tennis bracelets is a long process. First links are fashioned so that each link has a male portion and a female portion to enable the connection to one another. After assembling the links to make a bracelet or necklace, they must be soldered one by one at a joint formed by the male and female portions. This is a difficult and time consuming process because each soldered joint is very small and there are a large number of these joints in a typical bracelet or necklace, each of which must be soldered separately. The resulting product does not always turn out straight or accurate due to the fact that the links are fitted one by one, and then each soldered separately at the joint. [0003] There...
