It should be understood that the detailed embodiments of the invention described here are used to explain the present invention only, instead of limiting the present invention.
In order to solve a problem of wear between a connection shaft and a connection slot in a self-swaying ornament in prior art, the present invention provides an automatic swaying ornament, as shown in
The present invention arranges a cover plate 300 on the base 100, to cover the connection slots 120, making the connection shafts 210 be enclosed in the connection slots 120, that makes the connection shafts 210 move within a certain range of the connection slots 120 only, thus avoids the connection shafts 210 coming off from the connection slots 120. In addition, due to the cover plate 300 hiding the connection slots 120, and making the sub portion 200 expose only, it ensures an overall aesthetic appearance of the automatic swaying ornament, and it is able to avoid any debris including dusts outside from entering the connection slots 120, which may affect a swaying performance of the sub-portion 200. Such a hidden arrangement has facilitated an application of the self-swaying ornament in the present invention as a component to a surface of a pretty expensive item, such as a watch dial.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the cover plate 300 has a shape of a round ring, a position of a middle through hole is a position for the sub-portion to expose, the cover plate 300 may be connected to the base 100 by a welding technology. The cover plate 300 may has a plurality of facets arranged, and each facet may be either a single cut facet or a multi-cut facet. By arranging the facets in the cover plate 300, the facets may reflect glares, and since the sub-portion 200 in the present embodiment is adopting a diamond, which itself has an effect of glaring, thus such a setting makes the cover plate 300 and the sub-portion 200 be visually integrated, making the sub-portion 200 look larger and glarer.
Further, each of the connection shafts 210 comprises a blade 211, the blade 211 is applied to adapting the connection slots 120 and making the sub-portion 200 sway. Each of the connection shafts 210 is configured to have a cross-section in a fan-like shape consisting of two diameters and an arc, and each of the connection slots is configured in a U-shape, the connection shaft 210 of the sub-portion 200 is placed in an dent of U-shaped in each of the connection slots 120. Since the blade 211 has a contact in line with an inner side of the connection slot 120, and the sub-portion 200 itself has a certain weight, thus the sub-portion 200 will be able to sway automatically.
Additionally, the present invention arranges a slightly wider hollow structure 130 on one side of each of the connection slots 120, and the hollow structure 130 is a through hole in one side of the connection slot 120, which makes a user be able to move and adjust each of the connection shafts 210, to ensure that each of the connection shafts 210 is able to keep a continuous sway. For example, when an external foreign matter enters the connection slot 120, and causes the connection shaft 210 unable to sway, now the sub-portion 200 is fixed at a certain position, unable to sway, that affects a lightening effect. The user (normally a professional service provider) may deal with the foreign matter through the hollow structure 130 from the back of the base 100, or move the connection shaft 210, and make the connection shaft 210 return to swaying, that ensures the connection shaft 210 keeps an sway continuously, thus provides a convenience for the user.
Preferably, the connection slots 120 in the present invention are configured in a U shape to facilitate assembling the connection slots 120 and the connection shafts 210. And on an opening of each of the connection slots 120 in the U shape, there is a blocking portion 121 arranged, applied to preventing the connection shafts 210 from coming off. Since the automatic swaying ornament may be set in a plurality of valuables, including a dial device or a ring, which may inevitably move frequently, resulting the connection shafts 210 in a larger movement range, and the present invention arranges the blocking portions 121 in the connection slots 120, ensuring effectively the connection shafts 210 not easy to come off the connection slots 120 when swaying. In order to further reduce a wear between the connection shafts 210 and the connection slots 120, the base 100 has a plurality of blocking side walls 140 arranged, applied to limiting a range of the sub-portion swaying left and right. A distance between two blocking side walls equals to exactly a distance between two tips of the connection shafts 210, or slightly larger than, in order to make sure that a gap between the connection shaft 210 and the blocking side wall 140 on a same side has a smaller gap, as long as not affecting a swaying of the connection shaft 210. In such a way, a reduction of a left and right sway between the connection shafts 210 and the connection slots 120 will reduce a wear between each other, and keep the sub-portion 200 and the connection shaft 210 thereof from moving left and right too much, and causing a stuck before losing a function of the sway, thus it is able to extend a service life of the automatic swaying ornament, as well as ensuring an effect of swaying during working. Preferably, a tip of the connection shaft 210 is set as a sharp tip, with a pretty small gap from a wall of the blocking side walls 140, which not only reduces a contacting area with the wall of the blocking side walls 140, but avoids the connection shafts 210 from moving left and right too much, thus it reduces the wear and increases the sway of the sub-portion 200.
The automatic swaying ornament provided in the present invention is manufactured by a CNC precision machining, having a more exact size of each part, that makes an overall structure of the automatic swaying ornament more stable, while the exact size may effectively avoid the wear caused by the connection shaft 210 swaying left and right.
Preferably, the automatic swaying ornament provided in the present invention has a wide application, which may not only be used as a necklace, a pendant, an earring, but also as an ornament on a surface of a watch. That is, the automatic swaying ornament provided in the present invention may achieve an automatic swaying not only in a vertical direction, but also in a horizontal direction. Of course, there is a difference to achieve the swaying between two states.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, from
