DESCRIPTION

FASTENING FOR JEWELERY AND JEWELERY STONES IN JEWELRY OBJECTS AND

IMITATION JEWELRY

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a method for fastening jewelery stones in jewelery and costume jewelery objects and to the fastening, as a physical element, obtained by said method.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

At present, the fixing of jewelery and costume stones in jewelery and costume jewelery objects such as earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces and the like, is carried out by crimping, one by one, so as not to damage them, with a significant cost of labor. due to the multiplicity, small size and delicacy with which this operation must be carried out.

This involves a drawback that is solved by the method of the invention, by which the subject of the invention is obtained.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The procedure for fastening jewelery stones in jewelery and costume jewelery of the invention comprises the following stages:

-configure a substantially laminar anterior ornamental base, provided with at least one window that is formally suitable for receiving a jewelery stone from its rear, and whose window is provided with stops for anterior holding of the stone, so that introducing or facing the stone through the window from the back of the base, the stone is visible from the front of the base through the window, - place each stone in the corresponding window, being previously held by the stops,

-seal the back of the base with a cover so that the stones are subsequently held by said cover and previously by the stops, forming a set subsequently held by said cover and previously by the stops forming a monobloc assembly, and

-generate means to fasten the monobloc assembly to the jewelery and costume jewelery object.

In this way, the base can be generated, for example by punching a suitable metal plate or metal alloy (precious or semi-precious) in a single operation, adding - in case they are not configured by the punching itself - the stops using machinery with numerical control for example, without affecting the most fragile part of the assembly, which are the stones, and then placing said stones one by one on the windows, which would be the only operation to be carried out one by one or individually.

Then you just have to fasten them all in a single operation when placing the rear cover, thereby minimizing the number of operations to be carried out and therefore the cost, with the additional or unexpected advantage that later the manipulation of the assembly to fix it in the jewelery object (earring, bracelet, ring, etc.) it is much less complex, as it is a larger set, avoiding even the need to work with jeweler's loupes in many cases, and minimizing the possibility of deteriorating the stones .

Regarding the restraint obtained by means of the described procedure, it includes:

-a slightly laminar anterior ornamental base provided with at least one window formally suitable for receiving a jewelery stone from its rear,

-stops provided in said window or windows, and arranged in areas of anterior contact against said stone or stones to previously retain them,

-a cover arranged at the back of the base, in contact with the back part of the stone or stones, which are therefore held between the stops and the cover, and sticking out through the windows, and

-Means of attachment to the jewelery and costume jewelery object of the monobloc set formed by the base, the lid and the stones arranged between them.

In this document, as an ornamental base it is intended to indicate that it can adopt different shapes with ornamental claims: oval, polygonal, round, artistic (for example in the shape of a butterfly), etc., the stones can also adopt any type of size or shape and size; the windows and the stops being adequate to receive and frontally immobilize the stones in the windows. Likewise, the windows where the stones go can take any shape, depending on the shapes of the stones to be set (for example round, square, oval, triangular, heart-shaped ...).

In short, with the invention it is achieved that, at the time of assembly, the base is built first, on which all the diamonds or stones are placed, and this base is then sealed with the cover, for example by fire or laser welding. , or gold or silver welding, the lid being the one that holds the pieces, leaving the appearance like that of a traditional crimped piece and allowing all the diamonds or stones to be mounted at the same time without the risk of damaging any of them.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The procedure for fastening stones (1) of jewelery and costume jewelery to objects (2) of jewelery and costume jewelery of the invention comprises the following stages (see figs 1 to 4):

-configure a substantially laminar anterior ornamental base (3), provided with at least one window (30) formally suitable to receive from its rear a jewelery or costume stone (1), and whose window (30) is provided with some anterior stops (31) for anterior fastening of the stone (1),

-place each stone (1) in the corresponding window (30),

-seal the rear part of the base (3) by means of a cover (4) so that the stones (1) are subsequently held by said cover (4) and previously by the stops (31) forming a monobloc assembly (5) ( see figs 4 and 7), and

-generating means to hold the monobloc assembly (5) to the jewelery and costume jewelery object (2).

Preferably the base (3) is made of metal or metal alloys, usually precious or semi-precious, since it is about implanting it in an object (2) of jewelery or costume jewelery that is usually made of these materials, with the advantage that it does not contrast if it is made of the same material as the jewelery or costume jewelery object (2). This allows the windows (30) to be made by punching the base (3), although they can also be punched if the base (3) is made of other materials.

For their part, the stops (31) are preferably made by seating (that is, direct support) on the windows (30) as seen in Figures 2 to 4, or by adding (welding for example) portions of metal or metal alloys by the front part of the base (3) as seen in figures 5 to 8.

Regarding the stage of sealing the back of the base (3) by means of the cover (4), it comprises joining the cover (4) to the base (3) by means of welding (40) by fire or laser or gold or silver welding. if they are made of metals or alloys compatible with welding (see detail in fig 4).

Meanwhile, the step of generating means to fasten the monobloc assembly (5) to the jewelery and costume jewelery object (2) may comprise performing a direct connection by welding or setting (51) of said assembly (5) to said object (2 ) of jewelery and costume jewelery (see fig 4), or the realization of a union of said monobloc assembly (5) to a decorative plinth (8) (that is, preferably also with ornamental shapes) joined in turn to said object ( 2) of jewelery and costume jewelery, also for example by welding or setting (51), as seen in fig 7.

Regarding the fastening (100) obtained by the method of the invention, it comprises (see figs 4 and 7):

-a substantially laminar anterior ornamental base (3) provided with at least one window (30) formally suitable for receiving a jewelery or costume stone (1) from its back,

- some anterior stops (31) provided in said window (30) and arranged in areas of anterior contact against said stone (1) to previously retain it,

-a cover (4) arranged at the back of the base (3), in contact with the back of the stone (1) to subsequently hold it, and

- means of fixing the monobloc assembly (5) formed by the base (3), the cover (4) and the stones (1) arranged between them, to the jewelery and costume jewelery object (2).

The stops (31) can comprise seats made in the windows (30) as seen in figs 3 and 4, or portions of metal or metallic alloys added by the front part of the base (3) as seen in figs 5 to 8. Furthermore, as seen in fig 8, some stops (31) in this second case can be shared by several windows (30).

The cover (4) and the base (3) are preferably made of metal or metal alloys and the cover (4) is attached to the base (3) by means of fire or laser welding (40), or gold welding. or silver (see detail of fig 4).

In addition, the base (3) can comprise a flange (33) projected posteriorly (see figs 1 to 4) in a measure similar to the thickness of the stones (1) to be able to house them, while the rear cover (4) would be in this case is noticeably flat to avoid aggressive edges for the skin that may come into contact with it.

As for the means of fixing the monobloc assembly (5) to the jewelery and costume jewelery object (2), they comprise, for example, direct welds or settings (51) to said jewelery or costume jewelery object (2), or said welds or settings (51) can be made directly to a decorative plinth (8), in turn attached to said jewelery or costume jewelery object (2).

Finally, indicate that the base (3) has a preferred thickness between 0.01 and 0.4 millimeters, while the stones (1) have a minimum width or diameter of 0.5 tenths onwards, being able to reach maximum (direct , or the envelope of the largest section of the size) between 0.8 and 12 millimeters.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the way it is carried out in practice, it should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to modifications in detail as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
