Preferably, in the personal ornament of the present invention, the joint unit of the plurality of the ornament units join the frame unit and the ornament unit at different positions in up and down direction.
Further, in the case that the plurality of ornament units are positioned at different positions in up and down direction or right and left direction, it is possible to constitute so that adjacent ornament units come in contact to have an influence on swing thereof mutually.
Below the embodiment of the personal ornament of this invention will be explained as follows.
As shown in
The flame unit 10 has a shape having slim opening 10a inside. One pair of reentrant unit 26a and 26b is formed at the positions of inside surfaces of right and left to which the opening 10a is formed to face each other.
Further, the reentrant unit 27a, 27b and the reentrant unit 28a and 28b are formed in equal distance of up and down direction at downward of the reentrant unit 26a and 26b of the inside surfaces.
In the present embodiment, the reentrant unit 26a, 26b, 27a, 27b, 28a and 28b are reentrants of the section circle.
The jewelry unit 5 has the supporting unit 14 supporting jewelry 12 such as diamonds. The supporting unit 14 holds the jewelry 12 by nail 20a, 20b, 20c and 20d. The jewelry 12 is an example of the main body of the ornament of the present invention, and the supporting unit 14 is the support member of the present invention.
The rotational stick 24a and 24b which stuck out in the right and left direction are fixed to the support member 14.
When the supporting unit 14 is supported away from the 10 by a predetermined distance in the opening 10a of the flame unit 10, the rotational stick 24a and 24b are inserted in the rotatable state into the reentrant unit 26a and 26b described above.
The cross section of the rotational stick 24a and 24b are circular.
The rotational stick 24a and 24b support the supporting unit 14 at an upward position for a center of gravity of the supporting unit 14.
For example, the rotational stick 24a and 24b support the supporting unit 14 in the vicinity of a center of a center of gravity of the supporting unit 14 and the upper part end in up and down direction.
When considering a swing property, in case it assumes “h” as a distance in up and down direction, the position of the rotational stick 24a and 24b is desirable to be a range of “¾ h” in up and down direction using a center position between a center of gravity of the supporting unit 14 and the upper part end as a center.
When the rotational stick 24a and 24b rotate in the reentrant unit 26a and 26b in the state that user wears the pendant 1, it is possible to avoid that the jewelry unit 5 holding the supporting unit 14 make half turn rotate, because the center of gravity of the supporting unit 14 is below from the position of the rotational stick 24a and 24b.
Thereby it is possible to keep the attitude in which the table surface of the jewelry unit 5 supported by the supporting unit 14 faces to the front (outside). Therefore it is possible to avoid that the table surface faces inside to improve design characteristics.
In addition, the rotational stick 24a and 24b may be molded integrally with the supporting unit 14.
Although the case in which the jewelry unit 5, 6 and 7 are set positioned at the different position of the up and down direction is explained in the embodiment described above, the jewelry unit 5, 6 and 7 may be set at the different position of the horizontal direction.
In the embodiment described above, as shown in
In the present embodiment, the case in which a under surface of the reentrant is declined to the side of the supporting unit 14 as the reentrant formed to the flame unit 10.
As shown in
Therefore the rotational stick 24a and the under surface 126a1 of the reentrant unit 126a of the flame unit 10 are jointed at a point.
Thereby the frictional force between the rotational stick 24a and the under surface 126a1 made lower, and it is easy to make the supporting unit 14 swing.
As shown in
That is, one pair of the reentrant unit 226a and 226b are formed at the position facing mutually of the internal perimeter surface of the flame unit 110.
And the rotational stick 124a and 124b of the supporting unit 114 of the jewelry unit 5 is inserted into the reentrant unit 226a and 226b in the state that it is possible to swing.
In the present embodiment, the same effect with the first embodiment is provided.
In addition, in the present embodiment, it is possible to form the under surface of the reentrant unit 226a and 226b declined as described in the second embodiment.
As shown in
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art which various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and replacements may be made in part or all of the components within the technical scope and its equivalents of the present invention.
For example, it is possible to set the position of the rotational stick 24a and 24b of the supporting unit 14 of the jewelry unit 5, 6 and 7 to pass the position which is more near to the center of gravity in the upper part of the center of gravity as the downward jewelry unit.
In addition, it is possible to support the jewelry unit not at the position of the upper part for the center of gravity as described above but at the positions different mutually of right and left position.
Thereby it is possible to make difference of the movement of the jewelry unit 5, 6 and 7 delicately and can hereby cause a new beautiful sight.
In addition, the case that supported jewelry units of three or one in a frame unit is explained in the embodiment, but it is possible to support jewelry unit of more than two or four.
In addition, the shape of the frame unit maybe other than the shape the closed opening. Furthermore, the diamond is used as for an example of the jewelry unit 5, 6 and 7 in the present embodiment described above, the ornament unit other than the diamond may be used.
Furthermore, the case the pendant is used for as an example of the personal ornament, a body decorations product other than the pendant may by used in the present invention.
In addition, it is possible to have the structure jointing to the frame unit using a circle perception in substitution for the axis as explained above.
For example, as shown in
Furthermore, it is possible to use the circular unit corresponding to the circle perception as for the reentrant of the frame unit described above.
In addition, it is possible to have the structure of fixing the round jumpring 414 on the back side of ring-shaped frame unit 410 to join the round jumpring 416 of the jewelry unit 5 to the [414].
For example, the round jumpring 414 is fixed to the back side standing straight by wax, etc. In this case, the round jumpring 416 is located in the upward position of the center of gravity of the jewelry unit 5.
In addition, as shown in
In addition, it is possible to set a weight unit to the frame unit 612 or the jewelry unit 5 so that the support axis (an axis) or circle perception (a support ring) supports the jewelry unit 5 at an upward position for a center of gravity of a frame unit 610 as shown in
In addition, it is possible to decide a shape and the weight balance of the support unit and ornament unit, not setting a weight, but decide it so that the jewelry unit is supported upper position with respect to the center of gravity by a support axis (an axis) or circle perception (a support hollow unit).
In addition, the support hollow unit and joint unit of the present invention may have the shape other than the circle perception.
In the present embodiment, the same effect with the first embodiment is provided.
In addition, in the present embodiment, it is possible to form the under surface of the reentrant unit 226a and 226b declined as described in the second embodiment.
Furthermore, the diamond is used as for an example of the ornament unit of the present invention in the present embodiment described above, the ornament unit other than the diamond may be used.
Further, in the case that the plurality of ornament units are positioned at different positions in up and down direction or right and left direction, it is possible to constitute so that adjacent ornament units come in contact to have an influence on swing thereof mutually.
The present invention may be applied to a personal ornament making a supporting unit supporting a jewelry swing.
