Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the openable/closeable connector whose closure safety is secured and whose stock is not damaged by constituting the hook part so that its base part protrudes from a bifurcate part of one contact of a long annular part, and at the time of closing, the tip part of the hook part sinks in between bifurcate parts of the other contact of the long annular part. CONSTITUTION:A ring passes through its first gap A and is fitted into a long annular part 1, and on the other hand, a hang decoration part allows its annular part 10a to pass through a tip part 2b of a hook part 2, passes through a second gap B, and is hung in its middle part. Thereafter, when a middle part 12 and 13 of the long annular part 1 are oppressed in the direction for approaching each other with hand fingers, the inside of each tip part 7a, 8a of contacts 7, 8 is guided to the outside of each tip part 5a, 6a of other contacts 5, 6, and by its guidance, both the tip parts are engaged in a state energized to each other, and the closure is completed. As soon as both the contacts 5, 6 and 7, 8 complete the closure, the tip part 2b of the hook part 2 sinks into a bifurcate part 9 of the other contacts 7, 8, therefore, it is prevented entirely that the hang decoration part 10 is detached from the hook part 2.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a coordinate ring, that is, a ring that allows the motif to be rearranged, and a method for connecting the ring and the motif, or between the necklace and the hanging ornament. This invention relates to a recombinable connecting tool for connecting.

[Prior art] Conventional rings include, for example, simple rings commonly known as round rings, handmade rings, eternity rings, fashion rings with precious stones or designs, and set rings made of multiple rings stacked on top of each other. Most of them are inseparable, some of them can be disassembled, and as a variation, there is a coin ring that is swingably connected to the ring with a coin-like ring.

On the other hand, a conventional pendant consists of a necklace, a charm, a choker, a chain, etc., a hanging accessory called a motif, a head, or a top, and a connecting device between the two. As shown below, many types are well known.

First of all, one of the simplest types of connectors is a shaft-type link called a round ring.A round ring with an opening/closing mechanism is called a tow ring or a bolt ring, and an attached round ring that protrudes from a pendant head is also well known. can be.

Also, a complex of two round rings is called a Dharma ring.

In particular, a connecting tool that connects a necklace accessory such as a chain and a hanging accessory such as a pendant top is called a drumstick-shaped ring, or a drumstick ring for short, whereas a ring that is shaped like an eggplant is called an eggplant ring. An eggplant ring with an opening/closing mechanism is sometimes called a hook. Note that a connecting body of a hook and a round ring, in which the connecting part is rotatably attached, is particularly called a swivel.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, a coin ring in which a ring and a coin are connected by two attached circular rings attached to each ring is well known.

However, this coin ring requires special processing in which a round ring is attached to the ring side as a connector, which not only makes it impossible to use a normal ring, but also allows the motif, in this case the coin, to be replaced with another motif. There is no freedom.

However, the basics of fashion for one's body include not only wearing standard expensive items, but also choosing the many materials one owns in accordance with the sensibilities of the moment, and combining and coordinating them. There is a place,
For example, if you use a simple ring called a komaru or a handmade ring as a basic material, use a material that can be used to freely rearrange many pendant heads, and connect the two with an openable connector, you can create a large number of Combinations are possible, and a variety of outfits can be expected to suit the time, place, and purpose.

In order to achieve the above, the connector must be configured so that it can be opened and closed, but it must also ensure the safety of the closure so that it does not open loosely when it is closed, and the connector must have no outward protrusions. , be in a form that will not cause damage due to getting caught on clothing, etc., and be in a form where there is no risk of scratches or other damage to both materials due to mixing of freely recombinable materials and basic materials at the joints. etc. will be required.

An object of the present invention is to develop and provide a coordinate ring and its connector that can achieve the above-mentioned needs.

[Means for Solving the Invention 1] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a connector having the following configuration, that is, it consists of an oval ring part and a hook part, and the oval ring part is A hinge part is disposed on one side and an opening/closing part is arranged on the other side, and the opening/closing part is composed of bifurcated contacts on one side and the other, and the corresponding tips of the contacts are relative to each other so that they can engage with each other. The hook portions are arranged opposite to each other in a positional relationship, and further, the base portion of the hook portion protrudes from the bifurcated portion of the one contact, and when the hook portion is closed, the tip portion of the hook portion extends from the bifurcated portion of the other contact. A connector is provided that is shaped to fit between the parts.

When the corresponding tips of each of the contacts are closed, the inside of one tip is guided along the outside of the other tip, and the guidance biases both tips toward each other. They are placed opposite each other in a relative position that allows them to interlock with each other.

The coordination ring using the above-mentioned connecting tool consists of a hanging decoration to which a round ring is attached, a ring, and the above-mentioned connecting tool connecting both of them, and each middle between one side and the other side of the long round ring part. The length of the ring is at least equal to or longer than the width of the ring.

[Function] The coordinating ring according to the present invention selects a ring as the basic material, selects a number of pendant tops, etc. as materials that can be freely rearranged, and uses the above-mentioned special structure as the connector that connects both materials. Therefore, the following effect occurs.

The connector according to the invention is opened by the following operation. In other words, if both sides of each intermediate part between the hinge part on one side and the opening/closing part on the other side that constitute the oval ring part are supported with both hands and fingers, and are moved apart from each other in the direction, the force causes , at the same time that the corresponding tips of the one and the other two-pronged contacts forming the opening/closing part are released from the occlusion, the tip of the hook part that had been recessed between the two-pronged parts of the contact,
Released from the immersion, the tip of the hook part and i\ij
A first gap is formed between the tip of the other contact, and a second gap is formed between the tip of the hook part and the tip of the negative contact. .

Therefore, the ring, which is the basic material, passes through the first gap and is fitted into the oblong ring part, while the hanging ornament, which is a material that can be rearranged, connects the round ring part attached to it to the tip of the hook. and is suspended from the middle part of the hook part through the second gap.

After placing the ring and the hanging ornament in the above-mentioned positions, press the middle part between the hinge part on one side and the opening/closing part on the other side of the oblong ring part in the direction toward each other with your fingers. The inner side of one of the corresponding tip portions of the contactor is guided along the outer side of the other side, and the two tip portions are biased toward each other and engage and close due to the guidance.

Both of the closed end portions function as dividing members, whereby the oval ring portion in which the ring is housed and the hook portion in which the hanging ornament is housed are clearly separated and are not allowed to mix with each other.

When used closed, the hanging decoration can swing freely.

However, even if the swinging is violent or strong, the force is applied only to the hook part and does not reach the opening/closing part, so the opening/closing part does not open due to the force.

In addition, when the ring is closed, one side of the middle part between the hinge part on one side and the opening/closing part on the other side, which constitutes the oval ring part, is fixed between the inner peripheral surface of the ring and the surface of the finger. Ru.

However, this additional fixation does not cause the closure to open.

[Example] Specific embodiments of the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

The connector according to the present invention consists of an oblong ring part l and a hook part 2, and the oblong ring part l has a hinge part 3 on one side. An opening/closing part 4 (see FIG. 1) is disposed on the other side, and the opening/closing part 4 is a bifurcated contact on one side and the other side.

5.6, 7, 8, and the corresponding tip portions 5a, 7a and 6a, 8a of these contacts are opposed to each other in a relative positional relationship that allows them to interlock with each other.

Therefore, when the corresponding tip portions 5a, 7a and 6a, 8a are closed (see Fig. 1), one tip portion 7a,
The inside of the tip 8a is guided along the outside of the other tip 5a, 6a, and by the guidance, the tip 8a is guided along the outside of the other tip 5a, 6a.
and 6a, 8a are urged toward each other and interlock. Furthermore, the hook portion 2 has its base portion 2a protruding from the bifurcated portion of the one contactor 5.6, and when closed (see FIG. 1), the tip portion 2b of the hook portion 2 protrudes from the bifurcated portion of the one contactor 5.6. It is created in a shape that fits between the crotch parts 9 of 8.

As shown in FIG. 1, a coordination ring using a connecting tool having such a configuration is composed of a hanging decoration lO to which a round ring lOa is attached, a ring 11, and a connecting tool connecting them, and, The length of each intermediate portion 12 and 13 between one side and the other side of the oblong side 1 is made to be at least equal to or longer than the width of the ring 11.

The opening/closing operation of the connector according to the present invention is as follows. When both side surfaces of the intermediate portions 12 and 13 are supported with both fingers and displaced in directions away from each other, the force causes the corresponding tip portions 5a, 7a, and 6a of the respective contacts to
, 8a are released from the occlusion, the tip portion 2b of the hook portion 2, which had been recessed between the bifurcated portions 9 of the contacts 7 and 8, is released from its retraction and comes into contact with the tip portion 2b of the hook portion 2. Child 7
A first gap A is formed between the tip portions 7a and 8a of the hook portion 2, and the tip portion 2b of the hook portion 2 and the contactor 5,
A second gap B is formed between each tip portion 5a, 6a of 6.

Therefore, the ring 11 passes through the first gap A and is fitted into the oblong ring part l, while the hanging decoration part 10 passes its round ring part 10a through the tip part 2b of the hook part 2, and the second It passes through gap B and is suspended in the middle.

Thereafter, when the middle parts 12 and 13 of the oblong ring part l are pressed in the direction toward each other with fingers, the inside of each tip 7a, 8a of the contact 7.8 is pressed against the tip of the other contact 5.6. Part 5a
, 6a, and as a result of the guidance, both tips are biased toward each other and engage, completing closure.

At the same time when both contacts 5, 6 and 7, 8 complete closing, the tip 2b of the hook part 2 is inserted into the bifurcated part 9 of the other contact 7, 8, so that the hanging decoration 10 is closed. Hook part 2
It is completely prevented from coming off.

The technical scope of the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments, but extends to all modifications within the scope of the claims.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, the coordination ring according to the present invention uses the ring as a basic material, the hanging decoration such as the pendant top as a material that can be freely rearranged, and connects both using a special connector. Therefore, the ring can be adorned with a wide variety of decorations by replacing them as appropriate.

Note that the basic material of the connector according to the present invention is not limited to the ring, but can also be used as a neck ornament or an ear ornament, and can be used by coordinating these with a hanging ornament such as a pendant top.

In addition, the connecting device according to the present invention allows the hanging decoration to swing freely when it is used for closing, but the force generated by the swinging is applied only to the hook portion, and the closing portion of the oblong ring portion During use, there is no risk of losing valuable hanging decorations, and the safety of the closure is guaranteed.

Furthermore, since the connector according to the present invention has a structure that does not have any outwardly directed protrusions, there is no risk of it getting caught on clothes etc. and causing damage, and there is also no risk of it getting caught and being released. , Also from this point of view, the safety of closure is guaranteed.

Furthermore, in the connector according to the present invention, since the contact piece forming the opening/closing part functions as a dividing member, the attachment position of the hanging decoration is limited to the inside of the hook part, and it never enters the ring attachment position in the oval ring part. Since mixing is not allowed, there is no risk of scratches or other damage to both materials.
Furthermore, the possibility that the opening/closing part will open due to the mixture of both is eliminated, and the safety of closing is guaranteed from this point as well.
