Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to precious metals and valuable ornaments or precious jewelry in which these precious metals are processed and turned into jewelry.

The said invention relates to a jewelry module with increased mobility, used to join the jewelry parts together in jewelry having more than one piece combined by methods known as chain or soutache, which allows the jewelry parts to become a closed circle without deformation

PRIOR ART

Today, jewelry produced from precious metals has an important place for men and women. In the said jewelry industry, necklaces, pendants and bracelets are of high importance for their visual appeal and design, as well as robustness, ease of use and lightness

Especially jewelry such as necklaces, pendants and bracelets, which consist of more than one piece, are used very often today. For this reason, stable and good circular mobility between the parts (within acceptable conditions) as well as the strength lightness and therefore low cost are preferred in these jewelry. Many traditional techniques are currently applied to produce these jewelry.

In the present traditional technique today, the joining of the two parts is made by engaging a monolithic pin in the first part and a bracket formed in the second part so as to grasp this pin. Here, since the pin is not in the common center of balance of the two parts, a gap is formed between the two parts in the jewelry, which causes an unpleasant appearance. In addition to this, the jewelry begins to loosen over time due to its mobility and begins to disintegrate due to this loosening.

Another traditional technique used today is the hinge technique on the doors. In this technique, the cylinder on the second part is placed in the space disposed in the first part and a pin is passed through the gap in this combination and this pin is welded from the two outer surfaces of the jewelry. This technique is suitable for mobility and robustness, but due to the excess of workload and materials used, the jewelry has a high weight and high cost. The multi-piece jewelry produced in existing traditional techniques have production costs and have less durability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

FIG. 1 illustrates a jewelry module (10) in which each core module (20) is connected to each other in jewelry produced by processing precious metals.

FIGS. 4, 4.1 and 4.2 shows the rotation bearing (21) with a rotation axis (B) formed to be centered at the junction axis (C) of each core module (20) and with the presence of the said rotation axis (B), the rotation angle (D) of each core module (20) is obtained with a reduced distance of departure is obtained by the rotational movement. Thus, the rotation angle (D) between both core modules (20) is reduced. Due to the fact that this rotation angle (D) is much higher than the acceptable dimensions in the present technique, an appearance is formed in the axial rotation of the core modules (20) that disturbs the aesthetic appearance.

The semicircular pin space (23) in which the semi-circular part of the said rotation bearing (21) will be positioned, and the rotation bearing (21) centered on the rotation axis (B) that enables a core module (20) to be connected with the other core module (20) by grasping the said rotation bearing (21) includes the connecting bracket (22). Likewise, it comprises a rotation axis (B) with half length (t1) and other half length (t2) equal to each other, configured to be exactly in the middle of each core module (20) by placing two core modules (20) side by side. (see FIG. 4.1).

In case an external force is applied, jewelry wobble (off-axis movements) is prevented by means of the rotation bed (21) by ensuring the balanced movement of the jewelry module (10) in the x-x1 direction of rotation in a monolithic structure with the said core module (20). However, the said core module (20) contains a pin space (23), which is formed in the inner part of the core module (20) in such a way that the adjacent jewelry modules (10), which are formed in such dimensions that the rotation bed (21) can be placed, are rigidly joined in such a way as to ensure their movement in the x-x1 direction of rotation. In addition, the jewelry module (10) includes a connection bracket (22), which grasps the said rotation bed (21) and enables one jewelry module (10) to be joined with another jewelry module (10) in such a way that they cannot be separated from each other, and a joining space (24), which enables the connection bracket (22) to be placed and welded into it by bending during the joining of the jewelry modules (10). In addition, it has a center of rotation (B), which is positioned as a common balance point of adjacent jewelry modules (10) side by side in the combination of jewelry modules (10) and enables the movement of jewelry modules (10) in x-x1 directions without damaging each other.

On the other hand, the jewelry module (10) is formed in a monolithic structure with the core module (20) in such a way that the aforementioned connection bracket (22) can pass through it and the mounting gap (26) is formed to allow the jewelry module (10) to move in the x-x1 directions. This core module (20) is formed in a monolithic structure with the module (10), and includes a fixer (25) for fixing the precious stones (30) mounted on the jewelry module (10).

The inventive jewelry module (10) includes a core module (20), and comprises a rotation bed (21), a connection bracket (22), a pin space (23). The connection bracket (22) of one said jewelry module (10) is passed through the mounting gap (26) so as to engage the rotation bed (21) of another jewelry module (10). The connection bracket (22) is bent by means of a force, inserted into the joining space (24) of its own jewelry module (10) and welded. Simultaneously with this process, the rotation bed (21) of the first jewelry module (10) is inserted into the pin space (23) of the other jewelry module (10). Moreover, this connection is made especially thanks to the center of rotation (B) so that both jewelry modules (10) are balanced and can rotate freely in the x-x1 directions of rotation. After the bending end (22.1) is inserted into the rotation bed (21), it is bent into a rotational movement.

Thus, when a force is applied to a piece of jewelry made of the aforementioned jewelry modules (10) to twist the jewelry, there is no twisting or wobbling of the jewelry due to the combination of the rotation bed (21) and the pin space (23) at the center of rotation (B).
