Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to jewelry items which include sliding collets.
  • Jewelry Hems may include one or more collets having extensions that allow them to slide in channel slots provided in the jewelry items.
  • the existing technique for providing sliding collets is not very durable or effective. For example, it may sometime permit "play" between the collet and the channel slots which may result in the collet pivoting within the channel slots and becoming stuck or even jammed.
  • the channel slots may inhibit sliding movement if any material accumulates in the channel slots. Accordingly, the channel slots may need to be regularly cleaned and polished in order to permit the collet extensions to move freely within them.
  • a jewelry item comprising: first and second elongated collet mounting structures; and a collet having one or more wings or one or more bosses or one or more cutouts which are received by the first and second elongated collet mounting structures.

  • a jewelry item 100 may include an elongated opening 120 defined from above by sides 110. While the illustrated jewelry item 100 is a ring, it is appreciated that the jewelry item may be any jewelry item, including without limitation, a bracelet, anklet, necklace, pendent, charm, earring, nose ring, piercing, wristwatch, etc.

  • the elongated wires 130 may be coextensive and substantially parallel.
  • the elongated wires 130 may be shielded from above by the sides 110.
  • the elongated wires 130 may extend along the full length of the elongated opening 120, and preferably slightly beyond the ends of the elongated opening.
  • One or more collets 200 may be disposed in the elongated opening 120 and mounted on the one or more wires 130.
  • the collets 200 may each include a central recess for receiving decorative material, such as gem stones (not shown).
  • tiie collets may be formed of material which is inherently decorative, such as gold, silver or platinum, without a central recess.
  • Each of the collets 200 may include one or more bosses 210 which each include a central opening 212 adapted to receive an elongated wire 130. With reference to Fig.8, there may be sufficient clearance between the wires 130 and the central openings 212 of the collets 200 to permit the collets to slide freely along the length of the wires. With reference to Figs.
  • the bosses 210 may have an outer width 214 which is greater than the width of the bosses at the junction with the collet 200 body.
  • the increased outer width 214 of the bosses 210 may provide a more robust and damage-proof mounting structure for the collets 200.
  • the wires 130 may be secured, for example by soldering, to the ends 142 of a mount 140.
  • the mount 140 may include one or more extensions 144 provided adjacent to the wires 130, which rigidly connect the ends 142 of the mount.
  • the extensions 144 may be sufficiently rigid to maintain the shape of the mount 140 during use in the jewelry item 100.
  • the extensions 144 may also serve to shield the wires 130 from contact with the wearer of the jewelry item 100. Such contact could otherwise result in damage to, or breaking of, the wires 130, and result in loss of the collets 200.
  • the mount 140 may be snapped into a receiving track in the jewelry item 100, or secured therein by another means, such as soldering, screws, adhesive, pressure mounting, press fitting, or the like.
  • the wires 130 may extend through one of the ends 142 of the mount 140, as shown in Fig.4.
  • the wire 130 ends that extend through the ends 142 of the mount 140 may be press fit into mating recesses provided in the jewelry item 100, thereby permitting the mount 140 to be removed and disassembled to receive additional collets 200, or to remove collets.
  • the collets 200 may slide either freely or with manual assistance along the elongated wires 130.
  • the term "elongated” in the present application indicates a length which permits one or more of the collets 200 to move noticeably.
  • a jewelry item 100 may include an elongated opening 120 defined from above by a first portion 110 of the jewelry item and a second portion 115 of the jewelry item.
  • An elongated wire 130 i.e., collet mounting structure
  • An elongated recess 150 i.e., collet mounting structure
  • the wire 130 may be shielded from above by the portion 110 of the jewelry item 100.
  • the elongated wire 130 and elongated recess 150 may extend along the full length of the elongated opening 120, and preferably slightly beyond the ends of the elongated opening.
  • One or more collets 200 may be disposed in the elongated opening 120, mounted on the elongated wire 130, and secured in the elongated recess 150.
  • the collets 200 may include a boss 210 which includes a central opening 212 adapted to receive the elongated wire 130. There may be sufficient clearance between the elongated wire 130 and the central opening 212 of the collets 200 to permit the collets to slide freely or with manual assistance along the length of the wire.
  • Each boss 210 may have an outer width 214 that is greater than the width of the boss at the junction with the collet 200 body. The increased outer width 214 of the boss 210 may provide a more robust and damage-proof structure for securing the collets 200 to the wire 130.
  • Each of the collets 200 may also include a wing 220.
  • Each of the wings 220 may have an outer width 222 which is greater than the width of the wing at the junction of the wing with the collet 200. This increased outer width 222 of the wing 220 may provide a more robust and damage-proof structure for securing the collets 200 within the elongated recess 150.
