Definitions
- the present invention relates to a circular jewel with indexed rotating rings such as a ring, an alliance, a bracelet, a pendant, a fashion accessory or the like, comprising at least one inner ring and at least one outer ring, freely mounted coaxial to rotate relative to each other about their common axis, said jewel comprising indexing means for indexing the relative position of the rings relative to each other, in particular for the purpose of modifying the design formed by decorative elements carried by said rings, such as stones, engravings, etc., these indexing means comprising, in a contact zone between said rings, at least one indexing notch in one of said rings and at least one movable indexing finger between a projecting position in said contact zone, in which it is housed in said indexing notch and locks the relative position of said rings, and a retracted position e of said contact zone, in which it allows a relative rotation of these rings.
- the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing this type of jewel.
- the present invention aims to solve this problem by proposing a jewel and its manufacturing process based on a simple, competitive, reproducible technology, without adding a part, offering a quick and simple assembly, without special tools, to create one or more positions indexed between the rings, the number of assembled rings being not limited, offering great freedom of alternative embodiments, the invention having the advantage of not penalizing the volume or the aesthetics of the jewel, this jewel can be entirely made of precious metals.
- the invention relates to a circular jewel of the kind indicated in the preamble, characterized in that the indexing finger is formed on a flexible tongue integral with said corresponding ring and arranged to retract under the action of a force rotation applied to at least one of said rings greater than the resilient strength of said flexible tongue, said flexible tongue being formed integrally with said ring.
- the indexing means may comprise several indexing notches arranged to define several indexed positions. Similarly, they may comprise at least two indexing fingers arranged at a distance and each carried by a flexible tongue. Depending on the shape of the jewel, these indexing means may be formed in the corresponding diameters of said rings or in the corresponding flanks of these rings. If the jewel has an inner ring and several outer rings juxtaposed, these indexing means may be formed in the corresponding flanks of at least two of said outer rings. If the jewel has an inner ring on which are mounted several superimposed rings, these indexing means may be formed in the corresponding flanks of at least two of said superposed rings.
- the flexible tongue is cut into a contact zone of at least one of said rings so as to be movable between its projecting and retracted positions towards the adjacent ring, and comprises an outer protuberance forming said indexing finger, and the indexing notch is cut in the other contact zone of said adjacent ring oriented towards said first ring, the index finger and the indexing notch having a complementary curved profile.
- the object is also achieved by a method of manufacturing the circular jewel as described above, wherein said rings are made separately with their indexing means integrated, they are freely assembled coaxially one into the other and we lock the assembly of these rings to make it indémontable.
- said rings are manufactured by removal of material by machining in the mass said indexing means, which avoids the use of additional parts and greatly simplifies the assembly of the jewel.
- FIG. 1 is a top view of a jewel according to the invention in the form of a ring comprising three rotating rings
- FIGS. 2A and 2B are views in partial and total section of the jewel along lines AA and BB of FIG. FIG. 1
- FIGS. 2C and 2D are partial and total sectional views of the jewel along lines CC and DD of FIG. 2B
- FIGS. 3A and 3B are perspective and partially sectional views of a first ring; outside the jewel of Figure 1, and Figures 3C and
- FIG. 3D are views in total and partial section of this ring according to the lines CC and OD 5 3B and Figures 4A and 4B are a perspective view and partial section of a second outer ring of the jewel of Figure 1 and FIG. 4C is a partial sectional view of this ring along the line CC of FIG.
- the jewel 1 circular indexed rotating rings is illustrated by a ring having an inner ring 2 carrying three outer rings 3, 4, 5 juxtaposed, these rings being mounted freely coaxially to turn the one relative to the other around their common axis.
- Each outer ring 3-5 carries a crimped stone 6 and, depending on the relative position of the outer rings 3-5 between them, these stones 6 may be aligned parallel to the axis of the ring, offset and aligned diagonally (see FIG. 1) or staggered forming a V, in order to create different patterns with the same jewel 1.
- the object of the invention is to integrate indexing means 7 between these three outer rings 3-5 to position them together in a chosen pattern, the assembly formed by these three rings 3-5 remaining mobile in rotation around the inner ring 2 so as to retain the pattern.
- the jewel 1 circular according to the invention can be a bracelet, a pendant, a fashion accessory or the like, made of precious metals or fantasy.
- the number of outer rings can be one, two or more than three. These rings can be juxtaposed as in the example of the ring or superimposed for example for a pendant.
- the jewel 1 comprises an inner ring 2, an outer ring 3 and one or more intermediate rings, these different rings being rotatable relative to each other, the inner ring 2 can be fixed or also free to rotate.
- the inner ring 2 is designed to carry and guide in rotation the outer rings 3-5 by a play of operation and to ensure their axial retention. It comprises for this purpose cylindrical bearing surfaces 20 and two end stops 21, 22, at least one being formed of a foldable lip 22 deformable between an initial state in which it is open and allows the mounting of the outer rings 3 5 on the inner ring 2 and a final final state in which it is folded and makes this assembly inchtmontable.
- This inner ring 2 can be made differently in respect of its functions.
- the indexing means 7 are provided in the contact areas between the outer rings 3-5 and more particularly in their sides or lateral sides as in the illustrated example. If the jewel 1 has only one outer ring 3, the indexing means 7 are provided between the outer ring 3 and the inner ring 2, in particular in the contact zone between at least one of its flanks and one of the end stops 21, 22. These indexing means 7 can also be provided on the inner and outer diameters of the rings 2, 3, especially if the jewel 1 has overlapping rings.
- indexing means 7 comprise, in the contact zone between the rings 3-5, at least one indexing notch 70 integral with one of the rings and at least one indexing finger 71 integral with the other ring, this indexing finger 71 being movable between a projecting position in the contact zone, in which it is housed in the indexing notch 70 and locks the relative position of the rings, and a retracted position of the contact zone, in which it allows a relative rotation of these rings 3-5.
- the central outer ring 4 has on its flanks indexing notches 70 and the outer rings 3, 5 disposed on either side of the central outer ring 4 comprise indexing fingers 71
- the reverse configuration can also be considered.
- the indexing means 7 may also be limited to two outer rings 3 and 4 or 4 and 5, depending on the desired result.
- the central outer ring 4 has in each of its flanks, several indexing notches 70 regularly distributed on its circumference. It has ten on each flank, arranged symmetrically with respect to the median plane of this ring.
- Each indexing notch 70 is formed of a notch of curved shape, for example circular, open axially in the direction of the adjacent ring 3, 5. This number of indexing notches 70 is not limiting and allows to define several indexed positions.
- This central outer ring 4 has cylindrical bearing surfaces 40 on either side of relief recesses 41.
- FIGS. 3A-D illustrate an outer ring 3 adjacent to the central outer ring 4, identical and symmetrical to the outer ring 5.
- This outer ring 3 comprises at least one indexing finger 71 and, in this example, two indexing fingers 71 diametrically opposed.
- Each indexing finger 71 is formed of a protuberance of curved shape, for example circular, oriented axially in the direction of the adjacent ring 4 and complementary to that of the indexing notches 70.
- Each indexing finger 71 is formed on a flexible tongue 72 secured to the outer ring 3 and cut into the mass to form a single piece with said ring 3.
- This flexible tongue 72 is separated from the rest of the ring 3 by a slot 73 and makes it possible to return the indexing finger 71 movable between its protruding and retracted positions, the projecting position corresponding to the rest position of the flexible tongue 72 and the retracted position corresponding to its compressed position.
- This compressed position is obtained under the action of a relative rotational force applied to the adjacent rings 3 and 4 greater than the elastic resistance of the flexible tongue 72, the indexing finger 71 moving relative to the indexing notch 70 by depressing the flexible tongue 72.
- the resilient strength of the flexible tongue 72 is determined by its length. By playing on this length, we can modify the indexing force between the rings 3-5.
- the two flexible tongues 72 are arranged symmetrically and oriented in opposite directions so as to allow rotation of the rings 3-5 in both directions of rotation.
- the number of flexible tongues 72 is not limiting and may be greater than two depending on the size of the jewel 1, for example in the case of a bracelet.
- This outer ring 3 like the outer ring 5 comprises cylindrical bearing surfaces 30, 50 provided on either side of lightening recesses 31, 51.
- the number of indexing fingers 71 is not limited to two, and may be one or greater than two depending on the desired result and the diameter of the rings.
- indexing means 7 are completely invisible in the jewel 1 and allow to change as desired the pattern created by the decorations provided on the outer rings 3-5 rotating, these decorations may be drawings but also inscriptions. It is enough for this purpose to turn a ring 3-5 relative to the other by forcing slightly to overcome the indexing force and retract the indexing fingers 71 so as to change indexing notch 70 and thus change the position of indexing between the rings 3-5.
- the method of manufacturing the circular jewel ring 1 with rotating rings comprises at least the following steps: a) the inner rings 2 and outer 3-5 are made separately with their indexing means integrated, by removal of material by machining in the mass the indexing notches 70 and the flexible tongues 72 with their indexing finger 71, the cylindrical bearing surfaces 20-50 and the relief recesses 21-51, as well as the housing for the stones 6, b) assembling the outer rings 3-5 on the inner ring 2 by axial interlocking, positioning the outer rings 3-5 relative to each other so that the indexing fingers 71 are housed in indexing notches 70, c) and then locking the assembly of these rings 2-5 to make it indémontable.
- This embodiment of the indexing means 7 considerably simplifies their implementation and extends their application to a wide range of jewelry at competitive costs. It allows multiple combinations ranging from an indexed outer ring on an inner ring to a plurality of outer rings indexed to each other on an inner ring, which rings may be adjacent and / or superimposed.
- the indexing means 7 being directly machined in the rings, they do not require any additional part, no specific assembly and can be made of precious metals.
- the assembly is greatly simplified and requires no special tools for holding the spring elements.
- the indexing force is adjustable according to the length of the flexible tabs 72. Even, the number of indexed positions is adjustable according to the number of indexing notches 70. These indexing means 7 are locked in the rest position of the flexible tongues 72, so there is no risk of fatigue.
- indexing notches 70 are feasible in a single operation on numerically controlled machines and does not require recovery. Putting several indexed rings side by side enables complex patterns to be created. These indexing means 7 being applicable to the rotating rings retain the pattern while allowing rotation of all the rings.
