Definitions

  • This invention relates to a construction kit for making an ornamental object and, more specifically, to a constuction kit for making an ornamental object such as a key ring, an ornament, a promotional giveaway or a jewel, to which explicit reference is made herein without thereby limiting the scope of the invention.
  • This invention also relates to an ornamental object obtained using the kit and a method for making the ornamental object.
  • any handcrafted item is intrinsically unique, making it more precious for anyone showing it off.
  • French document FR2344245 relates to a jewel comprising a support in which a guide is made for a precious stone which can therefore move along the guide relative to the support.
  • the main technical purpose of this invention is to propose a construction kit for making an ornamental object which overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages.
  • One aim of this invention is to propose a construction kit which allows the production of highly customised ornamental objects.
  • Another aim of this invention is to propose a construction kit which allows the production of ornamental objects with relatively low costs.
  • the numeral 1 denotes an ornamental object made in accordance with this invention.
  • the object 1 is a jewel to which explicit reference is made herein without in any way limiting the scope of the invention, since the structure and the kit described below could be suitable for making ornaments, promotional giveaways, jewellery, key rings and other items.
  • the jewel 1 comprises a rod 2 and a plurality of blocks 3 fitted on the rod 2.
  • the rod 2 has a main axis A and is twisted about the axis A.
  • the rod 2 was subjected to a twisting moment applied at the two ends 2a, 2b to give them the preferred twisted shape.
  • a section of the rod 2 preferably at an upper end 2a of the rod 2 is therefore rotated relative to a cross-section of the rod 2 at its lower end 2b. As illustrated, the end sections are kept substantially parallel.
  • the relative rotation of the two end sections is an angle of between 20 and 360 sexagesimal degrees.
  • the blocks 3 are positioned according to the profile of the rod, that it so say, their orientation in space follows the curvature of the rod 2.
  • the hole 4 is preferably shaped to match the cross-section of the rod 2 in such a way that, once fitted from the end 2a and moved towards the end 2b, it can follow the profile of the rod.
  • the dimensions of the cross-section of the holes 4 are greater than the dimensions of the cross-section of the rod 2, allowing the blocks 3 to slide along the rod 2, following the profile of the rod.
  • a preferred tolerance value for the holes 4 relative to the rod 2 is ⁇ 0.3 mm, allowing said sliding.
  • Each block 3 preferably a parallelepiped, has a front face 5, divided into a first portion 5a and a second portion 5b, a first face 6 and a second face 7.
  • the first and second portions preferably have the same size and shape.
  • the jewel 1 comprises a first type of block 3a and a second type of block 3b.
  • Each block has its front face 5 divided into the first and second portions 5a, 5b.
  • the first and second portions 5a, 5b of the first type of blocks 3a are respectively decorated with a first pattern 8 and with a second pattern 9.
  • the first and second portions 5a, 5b of the second type of blocks 3b are respectively decorated with a third pattern 10 and with a fourth pattern 11.
  • the arrangement of the blocks 3 on the twisted rod 2 and the corresponding superposed patterns 8, 9, 10 and 11 resemble the double helix structure of DNA.
  • the preferred angular range gives the object 1 a precise resemblance to DNA helixes.
  • the parallelepiped shape of the blocks 3 allows them to be fitted on the rod 2 in two ways, that is to say, with the first face 6 facing the upper end 2a of the rod 2 or facing its lower end 2b, so that for each block 3, it is possible to invert the position of the two portions 5a and 5b and of the corresponding patterns 8, 9, 10 and 11.
  • the rod 2 has a plate 12 against which the blocks 3 fitted on the rod 2 stop.
  • the plate 12 is substituted by a deformation of the end 2b which prevents the blocks 3 from sliding beyond the end 2b.
  • the end 2b is threaded in such a way as to receive and engage with a nut which stops the blocks 3.
  • Said configuration also allows the fitting of another ornamental component from the end 2b.
  • the plate 12 or the deformation or the nut therefore forms stop means for the blocks at the lower end 2b of the rod 2.
  • the rod 2 has a through hole 13 made in the upper end 2a.
  • a locking or fastening element 14 engages in the hole 13 and prevents the blocks 3 from coming off the rod 2, therefore forming stop means for the blocks 3 at the end 2a of the rod 2.
  • the construction kit for making an ornamental object 1 such as that described above therefore comprises the rod 2, a plurality of blocks 3, preferably both of the first type and of the second type, and a locking element 14, both the hole 13 and the first stop means 12 already being made in the rod 2.
  • the kit comprises a number of blocks 3 of the first type equal to the maximum number of blocks 3 which can be fitted on the rod 2 and a number of blocks 3 of the second type which is also equal to the maximum number of blocks 3 which can be fitted on the rod 2.
  • the kit comprises all of the blocks 3 necessary for recreating any DNA. It should be noticed that in DNA the combinations of elements in the two helixes are unique and therefore two types of blocks with a total of four patterns arranged in pairs are sufficient.
  • Figure 7 shows a second embodiment of the ornamental object 1 in which the blocks 3 substantially have the shape of a disk.
  • the blocks 3 are preferably substantially cylindrical.
  • the blocks 3 are substantially spherical in shape.
  • the blocks 3 have a substantially curvilinear outer profile.
  • the case where the ornamental object 1 is a bracelet worn on a person's wrist is imaginable.
  • the blocks 3 each have the hole 4 made in them and the patterns 8, 9, 10, 11 are made on the outer surface of the block 3.
  • the patterns 8, 9, 10 and 11 are preferably made as described above with reference to the accompanying drawings in which the blocks are illustrated, for example, as parallelepipeds.
  • the blocks 3 are substantially in the shape of a disk and comprise a bevel 15.
  • the patterns 8, 9, 19 and 11 are preferably made on the bevel 15 in such a way as to obtain substantially the same aesthetic and customised effect as described above.
  • bevelled blocks 3 have the hole 4 made in them which allows them to be fitted on the twisted rod 2.
  • the blocks 3 are fitted along the rod 2 and follow its profile.
  • a method for making a substantially unique ornamental object 1 using the kit described above comprises the steps of defining a unique sequence of blocks 3 and fitting the blocks 3 on the rod 2.
  • the sequence proposed by the superposed patterns 8, 9, 10 and 11 is the same as the typical representation of double helix DNA, the patterns 8, 9, 10 and 11 preferably each comprising their own colour, a preferred sequence of superposed blocks is inspired by the DNA sequence of the generic user.
  • the patterns 8, 9, 10, 11 in alternative embodiments not illustrated are formed by materials which are set on the corresponding block 3, in particular in the portions 5a and 5b.
  • the patterns 8, 9, 10, 11 comprise surface processing such as polishing, satin finishing and the like.
  • the step of defining a unique sequence for superposing the blocks 3 comprises the step of defining a DNA sequence to be recreated using the patterns 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the blocks.
  • the patterns 8, 9, 10 and 11 can each be linked to a corresponding nitrogenous base present in the formation of nucleotides to be incorporated in the DNA molecule.
  • the first pattern 8 is linked to adenine
  • the second pattern 9 is linked to thymine
  • the third pattern 10 is linked to cytosine
  • the pattern 11 is linked to guanine, since it is known that in DNA the links between the nitrogenous bases are always and only of the adenine - thymine and cytosine - guanine type.
  • the step of defining a unique sequence is performed starting with a set of personal information relating to the generic user which, when suitably processed in a way not described here because it is not part of this invention, provides the DNA sequence for the user, which is then recreated by superposing the blocks 3.
  • the personal information that contributes to the formation of the sequence comprises eye colour, nose shape, hair colour, skin colour and other information.
  • the construction kit described allows the production of highly customised ornamental objects such as the jewel 1.
  • a kit seller can be asked to make the object, or it can be made by the end user.
