Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a piece of jewelry for clothing ornamentation adaptable to a button passed through its buttonhole.
  • the present invention proposes to give the mounting means of such jewelry elements a greater guarantee against the risk of loss in the sense that these mounting means cooperate not only with the button itself but with the portion of the garment in which the buttonhole is made, so that once the item of jewelry is in place, it is secured to both the button and its buttonhole in which it is engaged or passed. It follows that even if, for whatever reason, the button were to be separated from the garment that wears it, the item of jewelry and the button that it covers would still have at least one point of attachment or fixing with said garment.
  • the present invention covers a jewelry item, simple, robust, massive and not having the aforementioned drawbacks, easily adaptable to the garment by a rotation of a button on a button passed through its buttonhole, characterized in that it comprises a cylindrical body internally hollowed out, totally or partially for housing and holding a button in position so that the periphery of the latter can serve as a guide and its axis of axis of rotation to said cylindrical body, the first of the bases of the latter being or constituting itself the jewel or the motif of jewelry or else serving as a support or fixing the decorative object, ornamentation, of jewelry proper or possibly of various objects, the second base being provided with a band forming a tab produced substantially in the direction of the generatrices of said cylindrical body, perpendicular to the latter, passing through the buttonhole, this tab intended to immobilize the piece rotating in both directions when the jewelry element is in place and constituting, the initiation of an open ring, in a plane parallel to said second base and ending in a short helical ramp going away from said second
  • the element according to the invention comprises a cylindrical body 1 which can be entirely hollowed out internally as illustrated in particular in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4 or partially hollowed out internally as illustrated for example in FIG. 5.
  • the role and the function of this cylindrical body is to constitute a housing for the introduction and the maintenance in position of a button B, so that the periphery of the latter bears on the internal wall of said housing and that the latter can be animated a rotational movement whose axis would be the axis of said button, as will be explained later.
  • This cylindrical body can be made in such a way, that is to say in a material and in an external shape such that it can itself serve as a piece of jewelry intended to fit directly on a button. Otherwise, this same cylindrical body can serve as a support, for example by its base 2, for a decorative or jewelry item, as for example in FIGS. 10 and 11.
  • FIG. 10 an example of use of the cylindrical body 1 as a support for an ornamental or decorative element D covering said cylindrical body 1
  • FIG. 11 illustrates the use of this same cylindrical body 1 for fixing a chain C which can serve, for example, as a chain for tie or chain for pocket watch, etc.
  • the opposite base 2a to the base 2 is connected by its periphery to a tab or tongue 3 extending in the direction of one of the generatrices of said cylindrical body or lying in a plane containing such a generatrix, this tongue or tab perpendicular to the base 2a constituting the initiation and departure of an open ring centered on the cylindrical body 1 and in a plane parallel to said base 2a at a sufficient distance to allow the free passage of the material V, ending by a short helical ramp having its end 5 in the form of a blunt point and moving away from said second base 2a.
  • this internal volume when this internal volume is partially hollow, it is possible to produce simple contact and stop zones cooperating with three sectors of the periphery of the button B, as illustrated for example in the figures 5 and 6.
  • the solid parts 6, 7 and 8 thus form said stops in the remaining housing created by the vacuum E between these three stops.
  • the element according to the invention is used in the following way: when the button B has already passed through its buttonhole b , the element according to the invention is presented so as to introduce its blunt tip 5 between the lips of said buttonhole, as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 7. Once this introduction has been carried out, the button B is found to be supported over its entire periphery on the internal wall P (FIGS. 7, 8 and 9) of the cylindrical body 1.
  • the pointed ramp (5) followed by the open ring (4) gradually penetrate between the lips of the buttonhole b until the end of travel is determined by the stop of the tab 3 against said lips which go up on each side of the tab 3 thanks to the natural elasticity of the material forming the buttonhole, thus immobilizing the item of jewelry suitably oriented on the garment V.
  • the element thus mounted on the button B covers the latter or constitutes for it an ornamentation. It can only be extracted by bringing the lip of the buttonhole located on the side of the opening of the ring below it so as to escape the stop (tab 3) and thus allow operations and movements inverse of those which have just been described. Even if this button B were to be detached from the garment V on which the element according to the invention is fixed, the latter could not be driven with this button, since it is engaged with the reverse of the buttonhole b and that wanting to dissociate it would imply the tearing of this buttonhole.
  • the embodiment of the element according to the invention contributes not only to the ornamentation of a button but also to assure the user a guarantee against the possible loss of this element, the latter having a point of attachment additional with the buttonhole through which said button, itself engaged with said element.
