A necklace comprising links which are capable of allowing additional links to be added to thereby create a customizable necklace, with each of said links comprising an undulating silhouette and structural means to allow adjoining links to be connected together yet preventing adjoining links from rotating with respect to each other to prevent flipping of adjoining links.

A JEWELRY MODULE
20250031812 · 2025-01-30 ·

Disclosed is a jewelry module in which each core module is formed by connecting each other in jewelry produced by processing precious metals. The jewelry module has a rotation bed having an axis of rotation formed so as to be centered on the joining axis of each core module. Additionally, an angle of rotation with a reduced distance away from the rotational movement of each core module by the presence of said axis of rotation is provided, and a connection bracket is centered on the axis of rotation, which grasps the rotation bed and enables one core module to be connected with the other core module.

METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTABLE TRANSFORMATION OF CHAINS
20170208908 · 2017-07-27 ·

The present invention(s) seeks to protect Applicant's link, link chain and methods of making, transforming and using such. The link, for use in series to form a multi-positionable link chain includes a through hole and a first and a second diagonal channel on a top and a bottom side running in opposite directions. Generally, the geometry of the links, and specifically, material removed from and/or sharpened edges of the through hole, the diagonal channels and/or corner portions of the modified rectangular solid links, is such to allow for relative rotation and/or multiple points of connection of adjacent links. The link chains of the present invention(s) are flexible in the length, width and height dimensions to allow adaptable transformation in a plurality of stable configurations. And they can include a clasp for ornamental and/or decorative use.

INTERCHANGEABLE JEWELRY BEAD SYSTEM
20250040668 · 2025-02-06 ·

An interlocking bead-plug system in which the beads are rubber or silicone and can be plugged together to create a chain. Each bead may have a female end with a hole and a male end with a protruding plug on opposing ends. The plug may be circular, elevated, and rubber. The hole can be stretched so that a second interlocking bead can fit through. The plug of the interlocking bead fits securely into the hole of the originating bead, creating the chain of beads.

System and methods for assembling chain elements using a coupling mechanism
09622553 · 2017-04-18 ·

The disclosure herein relates to methods used to facilitate the assembly of chain-links. In particular, the disclosure relates to using a coupling mechanism comprising at least one coupling pin and at least one coupling socket to form a chain element in various ornamental and decorative forms. Accordingly, the coupling socket of a chain-link element is configured to accommodate a pin-head associated with the coupling pin in a pin-bed associated with the coupling socket. Furthermore, the coupling mechanism comprising a locking mechanism configured to fasten the pin-head into its associated pin-bed. Thus, the disclosed coupling mechanism provides an alternative to using soldering technique in the chain making field, enabling to assemble chain-link elements, especially of jewelry chains, which are typically made of precious metals, mainly gold and silver.

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURED MOVEABLE PARTS

A part having at least two portions thereof secured to one another, yet moveable with respect to one another, includes a homogeneous first portion and a homogeneous second portion, wherein a portion of the first portion extends through the second portion, and is secured therein. The part can be configured as a hinge, a chain, etc., wherein the first part includes a pin extending therefrom including a second portion having an enlarged width with respect to the smallest width of a first portion thereof, which is received within a bore in the second portion, wherein the bore includes a second portion having a width greater than the smallest width of a first portion thereof, and the second portion of the pin is received within the second portion of the bore to secure the first part to the second part, but allow movement therebetween. Using additive manufacturing techniques, the first part and second part are formed simultaneously.

WATCH STRAP AND WATCH
20250185763 · 2025-06-12 ·

A watch strap and a watch are disclosed. The watch strap includes a first strap body and a second strap body each having two ends. One end of the first strap body and/or the second strap body is detachably connected to a strap connector. The other end of the first strap body is detachably connected to the other end of the second strap body through cooperation of a coupling mechanism and a button mechanism, so that the first strap body and the second strap body are selectively moved closer to each other to be locked or moved away from each other to be unlocked. In this way, the user can complete the disassembly and assembly of the watch in just one operation.

BAND EMPLOYING BISTABLE MAGNETIC ACTUATOR WITH HANDS FREE ACTUATION

A band configured to wrap around and be secured to an object includes at least three members pivotably connected to one another so as to be pivotable between an open position and a closed position, the first member including an outwardly disposed face defining an imaginary plane and each of the second and third members including an actuator prong that extends outwardly beyond the imaginary plane when in the open position and that is retracted to no longer extend outwardly beyond the imaginary plane when in the closed position. Movement of the object into contact with the first member so as to exert actuation forces toward the outwardly disposed face when the actuator prongs are in contact with a surface causes the second and third members to move from the open position to the closed position due to forces created between the actuator prongs and the surface.

Band employing bistable magnetic actuator with hands free actuation

A band configured to wrap around and be secured to an object includes at least three members pivotably connected to one another so as to be pivotable between an open position and a closed position, the first member including an outwardly disposed face defining an imaginary plane and each of the second and third members including an actuator prong that extends outwardly beyond the imaginary plane when in the open position and that is retracted to no longer extend outwardly beyond the imaginary plane when in the closed position. Movement of the object into contact with the first member so as to exert actuation forces toward the outwardly disposed face when the actuator prongs are in contact with a surface causes the second and third members to move from the open position to the closed position due to forces created between the actuator prongs and the surface.
