Definitions

• the present finding refers to a jewellery structure with high flexibility of use.
• the possible function as a paper knife, clip, key ring, etc. remains totally distinct since, in this case, it has just one use and it is the tool which is made to look nicer, but it is impossible, for example, to use a paperweight for its main function and to wear it .
• the task proposed of the present finding is that of eliminating the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art .
• an important purpose of the finding is to realise a jewellery structure with high flexibility of use which can be used just as effectively as an element for example for locking cases or to be worn or even as an element for supporting other precious items such as stones, coins, precious metals and the like.
• Yet another purpose of the finding is to realise a jewellery structure with high flexibility of use which can easily replace any holding element such as a key ring as well as carrying out the functions described above.
• the last but not least purpose of the finding is to realise a jewellery structure with high flexibility of use which can be used in its primary function and appearance progressively enriched and made to look more beautiful with further precious or aesthetically pleasing elements according to the requirements and possibilities of the user.
• a jewellery structure with high flexibility of use, characterised in that it comprises a member slidably associated with two cords having, at one end, stop elements for said member and, at the opposite end, connection elements for the removable joining together of said cords to form a closed ring the size of which can be changed through the translation of said member along said cords .
• figure 1 is a plan view of the jewellery structure according to the finding the slidable member of which is arranged at an end of the cords ;
• figure 2 shows the jewellery structure in which the slidable member, as an example, is arranged at 2/3 the length of the cords according to the finding;
• figure 3 is a schematic view which shows the jewellery structure in which the slidable member acts as a support, for example, for a precious item;
• figures 4 and 5 show the jewellery structure in which the slidable member supports, for example, one or more decorative precious stones;
• figures 6 and 7 show the slidable member enlarged and sectioned;
• figure 8 shows the finding used, for example, for closing a box.
• the jewellery structure with high flexibility of use comprises a member, wholly indicated with 2, which is slidably associated with two cords, each indicated with 3, which have, at a first end thereof, stop elements which, for example, may be two small balls 4 of the member 2.
• connection elements can be any clip, and in particular in this case defined by two small cylinders 18 with a male and female threading so as to be able to be screwed together.
• connection elements 18 allow the removable joining of the cords 3 so that they can form a ring 6 which is closed and the size of which can be varied through translation of the member 2 along the cords, as can be seen, for example, in figures 1 and 2.
• the member 2 is formed from three discs 7, 8 and 9 having a decreasing diameter from disc 7 to disc 9 and which are arranged coaxially to each other and forming a single body.
• the three discs 7, 8 and 9 have two holes 10 which cross them.
• the convergence of the holes has the dual advantage of determining, at the exit from the upper disc 7, an inclination of the cords such as to decrease the possibility of accidental sliding of the member 2 along them.
• the cords have, along their extension, at least one zone 11 suitable for generating friction inside the holes 10 so as to allow the member 2 to be held in the predetermined position.
• the cords can have many zones 11, or even be along their entire extension, realised so as to create substantial friction inside the holes 10 and thus to allow the positioning of the member 2 in whatever part of their length.
• the diameter of these is equal to or slightly greater than that of the holes so as to generate the friction required for holding the member 2 in the desired position.
• the cords can have stops 16 suitable for holding other precious elements in the desired position.
• the portions of the cords coming out from the member 2 can have different lengths so as to change the aesthetic configuration of the jewellery as desired.
• the member 2 can act as a support for other precious and/or ornamental elements, such as stones 15 or many stones associated with each other or spaced apart .
• the jewellery as represented in figures 1 and 2
• the member defined by the three discs 7, 8 and 9, if seen from a top side view, represents a stylised eagle.
• the slidable member 2 can be positioned in any position along the length of the cords 3 so as to make the jewellery take up different configurations for different uses.
• the member 2 will act as a support and positioning element for them according to the requirements in any part along the cords 3.
• the jewellery structure according to the finding is particularly advantageous for being able to be worn as an element to make a person look more beautiful, it's configuration and use can be varied by varying its appearance, it can be used as a hairclip, as a bracelet, as a key ring, as an element for closing boxes, packages and cases and last but not least also as a support element for skirts and trousers or as an element to make a person look more appealing to be worn on ankles, swimsuits and the like.
