Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ornaments, and specifically relates to an ornament element that can be worn on articles such as clothes, shoes, bags, backpacks and the like, which can be used as a hanging piece through a rope, a chain or other similar elongated carriers, and can also be used as a chain link of a combined bracelet or necklace, and a composite ornament is formed by connecting the same type of elements to each other. BACKGROUND

[0002] According to the prior art, a wristband device composed of rigid chain links is known, which comprises a profiled section of an irregular cross-section made of metal or plastic. The hinge head of the chain link is connected to the adjacent chain link by a shell structure defined by a cylindrical arc-shaped connecting protrusion, and the connecting area connecting the hinge head and the chain link body is defined by the surface of the top of the chain link. The S-shaped feature of the chain link enables the external chain links to be connected to each other in a tangential manner, thereby imparting the hinge structure with a mobility of more than 35° of rotation angle (cf. Swiss patent CH623215A5, published on May 29, 1981, classification A44C5 / 10). The defect of this technical solution is that the reliability of the chain link connecting structure is insufficient, which can cause the wristband to spontaneously disintegrate unexpectedly when the wearer is performing vigorous activities.

[0003] There is also a chain bracelet in the prior art, which comprises a cylindrical shell and an extension, wherein the shell is made as a movable connecting element forming the side surface of a hollow cylinder, the movable connection of the element has the possibility of opening the shell, one of the elements of the shell has at least one pair of openings along its longitudinal axis, at least one pair of grooves is made at the end of the element opposite the openings, and a movable locking plate is provided in the central part, along its opposite movable connection, the inner side of which has a protrusion that can be engaged with the recess made along the outer side of the second element and fix the elements together, the extension is installed in the shell through the opening with a gap for connection through the groove of a similar chain shell in the vicinity, wherein the extension is made in the form of a rod with thickening at its ends, which can hold the rod in the opening and groove of the shell (RU197936U1, A44C5 / 02, June 8, 2020).

[0004] The chain link design of such a bracelet allows the length of the product to be adjusted without the use of special tools, but it is difficult to manufacture and use.

[0005] There is also a bracelet known in the art, which comprises chain links connected to each other, at least one of which is composed of a base and a replaceable decorative element, the base is in the form of a frame with a central hole, magnets are located on opposite sides of the frame, and the replaceable decorative element comprises a base plate in the form of a metal plate for magnetizing the magnets of the frame (RU160544U1, A44C5 / 00, March 20, 2016).

[0006] In this case, although the bracelet can be modified by removable decorative elements while preserving the base of the bracelet, the disadvantage is that it is not easy to change the length of the product itself.

[0007] In addition, according to the prior art, it is also known that a jewelry product with flexible properties when in motion, comprising a plurality of interconnected link units. Each link is provided with a terminal section and a central section, wherein the terminal section is interconnected by a loop structure (see US patent US2023059188A1, published on February 23, 2023, classification A44C5 / 02).

[0008] The link structure with curved connecting elements described above can achieve the assembly of links and maintain the overall flexibility, but the structure design cannot be used as an independent functional element.

[0009] In addition, according to the prior art, it is also known that a jewelry element comprises a base and a front part, which are connected to each other along one side and form a cavity structure therebetween. Among them, at least one protruding structure is arranged on the inner surface of the base; the inner surface of the front part is correspondingly provided with a recess structure matching in shape and position; the extension direction of the at least one protruding structure can be arranged perpendicular to the connecting side of the base and the front part (see Russian patent RU189943U1, granted on June 11, 2019, classification A44C15 / 00).

[0010] In terms of technical use and combination of essential features, the first technical solution is the closest prior art reference to the utility model applied for.

[0011] The structure of the jewelry element selected as the prototype design is convenient for its installation and fixation on the target surface, but it cannot be avoided that it will spontaneously detach due to slight stress during use, which is its inherent defect. In addition, this structure also has the disadvantage that it cannot realize the mutual connection between the links to form a complete chain system.

[0012] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new jewelry element and decorative chain, which can be adjusted without using additional tools to adapt to the specific situation of the user. The technical effect achieved by the utility model claimed for implementation is to simplify the design of the bracelet while maintaining the reliability of the connection between the structural elements of the bracelet Content of the utility model

[0037] The utility model will be described in further detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0038] The ornament element is composed of a decoration body 1 (see Figure 1 ), which has a front face and an inner concave face. The decoration body 1 is provided with a pair of radially symmetrically distributed outwardly curved first locking element 2 and second locking element 3, the position of which with large curvature is near the horizontal middle line of the decoration body 1. The first locking element 2 is composed of a first locking end 4 and a second locking end 5, and a gap 9 is provided near the approach of the first locking end 4 and the second locking end 5. Similarly, the second locking element 3 is composed of a third locking end 6 and a fourth locking end 7, and a gap 9 is also provided near the approach of the third locking end 6 and the fourth locking end 7. At the gap 9, the edges of each locking end are aligned with each other and shaped as a triangular prism 9 structure; (see Figure 8The first locking element 2 and the second locking element 3 are integrally arranged in the plane of the decorative body 1 and are oppositely curved. The advantage of this design is that when multiple accessory elements are combined, the oppositely curved structure allows the multiple accessory elements to be in the same plane, making wearing more comfortable. When multiple accessory elements are connected in series, the first locking element 2 of one accessory element should be connected to the second locking element 3 of another accessory element. Due to the curved structure, if the user connects the first locking elements 2 of two accessory elements, the result will be uneven, prompting the user to use the correct connection method.

[0039] In this embodiment, the decorative body 1 is a horizontally extended concave structure, which can also be other shapes in actual application, such as a cylindrical body, a disc body, etc.

[0040] In this embodiment, the locking ends of the locking elements are designed to be of different lengths. Specifically, the first locking end 4 and the fourth locking end 7 are of the same length, which is smaller than the length of the second locking end 5 and the third locking end 6. The second locking end 5 and the third locking end 6 are of the same length, i.e., they are designed to be equal in length. Preferably, the edges of the first locking end 4 and the second locking end 5 of the first locking element 2 are diagonally arranged relative to the edges of the third locking end 6 and the fourth locking end 7 of the second locking element 3.

[0041] The difference in length between the first locking end 4 and the second locking end 5 allows the gap 9 to be close to the accessory element 1, thereby avoiding uncontrolled disconnection between two accessory elements or between an accessory element and a rope-like connection under stress.

[0042] The ends of the two locking elements are designed to be of the same length.

[0043] Each connection structure is composed of two ends, the edges of which are shaped based on a triangular prism, and the first locking end 4 and the second locking end 5 and the third locking end 6 and the fourth locking end 7 form a gap 9 with a small distance between them. This avoids the locking ends from disengaging from the gap 9

[0044] The structure of the locking end has the advantages of simple structure, high integrity, and strong anti-deformation ability.

[0045] The accessory element is preferably made of a variety of plastic materials, such as ABS plastic or metal materials (such as steel, copper, aluminum), and zinc-containing alloys, etc., and can achieve a variety of color matching schemes.

[0046] In addition, the accessory element can be modeled according to a unique design concept to form a collection system with a series of characteristics.

[0047] The accessory element described in the present application is designed to be conveniently attached and firmly fixed to the surface of a carrier such as clothing, footwear (see Figure 7 ), accessories, etc., while (see Figure 8 ) supporting the mutual connection between accessory elements, thereby forming a multifunctional accessory with flexible and variable styling and wearing methods, which is also a unique attribute of the product.

[0048] The locking element can be applied to a rigid device. Here "rigid" means that the device cannot be bent or stretched because it is mainly made of hard plastic or metal materials.

[0049] If the accessory element is cast from a zinc alloy, a plating layer that simulates the texture of copper, gold, or silver can be applied to its surface.

[0050] The first locking element 2 or the second locking element 3 of the accessory element is in the form of a hook structure, which can be connected by sliding at a 45° angle with the locking element of an adjacent accessory element of the same type (see Figure 4 ). When the connection between the components is complete, a complete chain system is formed, and only after a rotating and sliding operation along a 45° angle is applied to the components can they be separated.

[0051] In addition, the unique structural features of the accessory element of the present application give the product an elegant and beautiful design, while highlighting the convenience of its manufacturing process and end-user experience.

[0052] As mentioned earlier, the accessory element is mainly used to be attached to a carrier such as clothing, footwear, accessories, etc. To achieve the fixing function of the components, the above-mentioned carrier needs to be equipped with an elongated part, such as a shoelace, a rope, a chain, or a strap, etc.

[0053] During the fixing operation, the elongated part used to carry the accessory element is sequentially inserted into the gap 9 between the first locking end 4 and the second locking end 5 of the first locking element 2, and between the third locking end 6 and the fourth locking end 7 of the second locking element 3.

[0054] When the accessory element needs to be detached from the elongated part, an external force needs to be applied to push it in the opposite direction along the trajectory of the gap 9.

[0055] When using the accessory element of the present application to make chain products such as wristbands, necklaces, or chains, the same type of accessory needs to be assembled in combination.

[0056] The connection operation of two or more accessory elements is performed in the following steps: first, select any one of the required number of components to remain in a static position (see Figure 4), the other identical component is rotated to an angle of 45°; then, the gap 9 between the first locking element 3 of the first accessory element and the locking end of the first locking element 2 of the second accessory element is matched, and the locking elements 3 and 2 are engaged without obstruction by relative sliding; finally, the accessory elements are adjusted to be in the same plane by rotation.

[0057] Then, the required number of accessory elements are connected in a similar manner.

[0058] When disassembling, the accessory elements are rotated in opposite directions at an angle of 45° with slippage.

[0059] If the connecting or disassembling operation of the locking elements is not performed at an angle of 45° with slippage, the accessory elements will remain interlocked, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection and reducing the possibility of spontaneous disconnection.

[0060] In the description of the embodiment, the design of two locking elements on one accessory element is used, and the design of four locking elements on one accessory element can also be used, so that multiple accessory elements can be connected in four directions, more combination schemes can be realized, and a larger use scenario can be realized.

[0061] Therefore, based on the above, the technical scheme solves the technical problems proposed, and the core is to create an accessory element structure that not only has an extremely simple feature in production and manufacturing (including but not limited to industrial-scale mass production), but also can realize reliable connection with various carriers in use, avoid spontaneous disconnection, and ensure that the connection part does not deform.

[0062] The above is a further detailed description of the present application in combination with specific preferred embodiments, and cannot be considered as limiting the specific implementation of the present application to these descriptions. For ordinary skilled persons in the technical field to which the present application belongs, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of simple deductions or substitutions can be made, which should be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
