Patent Application
20170245603
This invention is in relation with a bracelet, comprising of decorative components which might be assembled as well as disassembled with ease particularly by the user that could be reshaped in varying patterns.
Various ornaments are used by people in daily life. One of the most commonly used of such ornaments are bracelets. Under state of the art, there are numerous bracelets which could possibly be built up and constituted in varying forms by the user upon fitting on as well as removing different decorative parts. By means of these types of bracelets, the user buys only a single bracelet and could form bracelets of diverse patterns by replacing solely such decorative items. However, in case of these types of bracelets, the user is required to consume a rather intensive effort or carry out the aforesaid operation by using a tool.
The object of this invention is generating bracelets of varying forms by the user upon including or removing decorative parts with ease of installing and removing the same on a common platform.
A bracelet devised for attaining the objective of this invention is illustrated on the figures attached drawings in which;
Parts shown in the drawings are individually numbered, and corresponding descriptions thereof are listed here below.

The bracelet (1) constituting subject matter of the invention comprises of more than one main platform (2) fixed on one another so as to form a ring, more than one main assembly item (5) enabling affixation of each main platform (2) onto one another, and a decorative part (4) installed on each main platform (2) in a removable manner without disturbing the ring-shaped form of the bracelet (1) (
The main platform (2) is preferably a rectangular plate.
The decorative part (4) is a hollow rectangular prism which might possibly include thereon decorative items, valuable gems and such similar items.
The bracelet (1) incorporates a main assembly item (5) on preferably the two opposite edges of the main platform (2), enabling separation or connection of the main platforms (2) constituting the bracelet (1). The main assembly item (5) is on the edges where main platforms are not attached onto one another. The main assembly item (5) is positioned on two opposite edges of the main platform (2) so as to move towards each other as a result of applying external force. Motion of the main assembly item (5) is provided by at least one spring (13) extending in-between the two edges of the main platform (2). In the preferred embodiment of the invention, two springs (13), preferably spring (1) in the form a foil which are parallel to both the edges where the main assembly items (5) and to one another are being used. Spring foils (13) are attached onto the spring holders (3) contained on the main platform (2).
The bracelet (1) further incorporates a main connection item (8) that the main assembly item (5) is affixed to. The main connection item (8) is positioned on the edges adjacent to the edges of the main platform (2) where main assembly items are located. Main platforms (2) constituting the bracelet (1) are connected onto one another with the assistance of these main connection items (8). The main connection item (8) incorporates two pins on each of the edges of both main assembly items (5), including preferably a helical shaped spring (12) that these pins are inserted into. By means of the aforesaid spring (12), as a result of the force applied on the main assembly items (5), it is enabled that the two main items (5) approach each other and gets in contact with the foil springs (13) and are detached from the adjacent main platform (2).
Whenever the main platforms (2) are desired to be separated from one another, it is provided that the main connection items (8) are released and thus the bracelet (1) is properly disassembled. Thus, it is possible to decrease or increase the number of main platforms (2), in other words modify the length of the bracelet (1).
The bracelet (1) comprises of a plate (7) covering the top of the main platform (2) and thereby protecting the foil spring (13) and spring holders (3) positioned on the main platform (2), fixed onto main platform (2), constituting the ceiling of the main platform, whereas floor of the decorative part (2). Such plate (7) is of the same form with the main platform (2). The bracelet (1) includes an interconnection item (9) at each corner of the plate (7). These interconnection items (9) enable the connection of the decorative part (4) and the main platform (2). While in the preferred version of the invention the connection of the decorative part (4) and the main platform (2) are provided by pins used as interconnection item (9), under another embodiment said connection is possibly provided by using a method incorporating welding.
The bracelet (1) possesses an auxiliary assembly item (6) positioned in-between the decorative part (4) and the plate (7), and allowing for ease of detachment of the decorative part (4) from the main platform (2). Such auxiliary assembly item (6) is located on two opposite edges of the decorative part (4) and these two edges are the edges perpendicular to the edges where main assembly items (5) are located. As a consequence of the foregoing, the direction of movement of the main assembly items (5) and movement directions of the auxiliary assembly items (6) are perpendicular to one another (
In the preferred version of the invention, the auxiliary assembly item (6) incorporates two pressure surfaces (10) on the opposite edges, a spring with an end of each affixed on these pressure surfaces (10), as well as a spring each (14, 15) in the same direction and an interface (11) where other ends of the springs (14, 15) are affixed onto. Both on the said interface (11) as well as such parts of the pressure surfaces (10) where the springs (14, 15) affixed onto. The decorative part (4) is at the same time assuming a protective function for the auxiliary assembly item (6) as well.
Whenever the decorative part (4) is desired to be removed from the main platform (2), force is applied on the pressure surfaces (10). As a result of such force, springs (14, 15) approach towards one another and it is enabled that the decorative part (4) is released. Thus, the user is assembling with ease the decorative part (4) with a decorative item of different form on the same platform (2) and upon using different decorative parts (4) onto the main platforms (2) on the same bracelet (1), they are possibly used in more than a single pattern.
Present invention is not limited to the embodiments described hereinbefore and any person specialized in respect of the technique could possibly set forth different embodiments of the invention. And such different embodiments are likewise to be assessed under scope of the claims pertaining to this invention.
