A guide tube and indexed tube-nut cut hinge wear and torsional stress while allowing axial play adjustment in watch and jewelry joints.
Elastic bistable scissor linkages let the band self-close when an article enters the channel, simplifying one-handed wearable attachment.
Low-friction guide tube and tube-nut inserts let sub-2 mm jewellery hinges resist bending, torsion, and wear while keeping adjustable tightness.
Exposed end faces and rotated link portions create a multidimensional jewelry focal point while preserving the link connection.
A segmented one-piece watch bar uses recessed elastic sections to retract pivots without tools while reducing parts, cost, and breakage.
A gold-silver-copper-zinc alloy balances ductility with elastic recovery, enabling jewelry semi-finished products with higher spring constants.
