Magnetic jewelry attachment assembly
A magnetic jewelry attachment assembly for selectively coupling mechanical clasps at opposite free ends of an article of jewelry, including a pair of clasp-retaining cases magnetically-couplable to each other. Each clasp-retaining case incorporates an elongated clasp-retaining body having a clasp-receiving channel extending into a proximal end of the elongated clasp-retaining body, the clasp-receiving channel extending from a proximal channel end to a distal channel end, the distal channel end terminating within the elongated clasp-retaining body. A clasp securement device is provided mounted within the distal channel end of the elongated clasp body-retaining and configured for releasably-engaging a first mechanical clasp at a first one of the opposite free ends of the article of jewelry. An elongated clasp-retaining body magnetic portion enable the pair of clasp-retaining cases to be selectively magnetically coupled to one another to form a composite clasp-retaining case that securely retains the opposite free ends of the article of jewelry while obscuring the respective mechanical clasps of the article of jewelry from view.
Bracelet clasp
A bracelet clasp including first and second blades, the first blade being articulated to the second blade by a first end, between a closed position, in which the second blade is folded over the first blade, and an open position in which the second blade is free from the first blade, the second blade bearing, at a second end, a member for fastening a first bracelet strand, a second bracelet strand being connected at least indirectly to the first blade. A locking device holds the first blade in its closed position. A device for adjusting the wear length of the bracelet includes a cover mounted on a base plate secured to the second end of the second blade, and the member for fastening the first bracelet strand sliding between the cover and the base plate in a longitudinal direction of the clasp between a first position in which the fastening member is at least partially engaged in the cover of the clasp towards at least a second position in which the fastening member is free from the cover of the clasp by pressure on the cover in a direction perpendicular to the clasp to cause same to slide.
Flexible coupler system and methods of operation
One embodiment of the present invention relates to a releasable flexible coupling system comprising a base, a coupling member, and a sewn member. The coupling member is fixably coupled to the base across the widthwise dimension on opposite sides of the lengthwise dimension forming a recess between the base and the coupling member. The sewn member comprises a strap, a folded region, and a primary stitch. The strap includes a body and a lengthwise end. The folded region is disposed on the lengthwise end of the strap and includes a portion that overlaps the body. The primary stitch extends through both the folded region and the body of the strap. An optional stiffener may be disposed between the lengthwise end of the strap and the folded region. The primary stitch will also extend through the stiffener if present.
Jewelry piece with a magnetic closure for an in interchangeable ornament
A jewelry piece having a body or housing that defines a cavity sized and shaped to removably receive an interchangeable ornament and a cover or back connected to the body, such that the jewelry piece may be opened or closed. The body and cover magnetically and mechanically engage when the jewelry piece is closed to secure the ornament without the need for excessive force or an additional tool. The magnetic engagement is accomplished by magnets that are located opposite each other when the jewelry piece is closed. The mechanical engagement is accomplished by interlocking mating elements that combine to define a bail when the jewelry piece is closed.
Dual slider mechanism for independent adjustment of jewelry lengths to maintain fit and style
A dual slider mechanism to independently adjust jewelry lengths to maintain the fit and style of a necklace. This is an article of jewelry comprised of two flexible members and two sliding members with sliding ends and fixed ends such that the sliders attach to the flexible members to permit movement along the flexible members therefore providing a functionally independent interplay between fit and style.
Snap and lock
A button system containing two pieces that snap and lock together to fasten multiple articles of clothing. The top piece is made of three distinct parts: a detachable ridged color-coded cover, a fastener that attaches said cover to a rotatable hinged plate, and a fastener that secures all three pieces of the top piece. The bottom piece is also made up of three distinct parts: a plate to receive the hinges from the top piece, a curved structure that connects the hinge/cavity plates to the article of clothing, and a rivet that attaches to the article of clothing and the snap and lock invention.
TOOL ORGANIZER FOR RETAINING A TOOL HAVING A THROUGH-HOLE AND A TOOL ASSEMBLY THEREOF
A tool organizer is configured to hold one or more tool having a through-hole. The tool organizer includes at least two braces and a resilient band. Each brace includes a neck and defines at least two slots provided on either side of the neck. The resilient band is configured to attachably couple to and detachably couple from the braces. Each of the at least two slots defines a retainment portion and a channel portion extending from the retainment portion to define an opening along an outer perimeter of the brace. A dimension of the channel portion is less than that of the retainment portion, and a section of the retainment portion is defined by the neck. The resilient band is attachable to wrap around the necks of the at least two braces and extend through the retainment portions of the slots and between the at least two braces.
JEWELRY PIECE WITH A MAGNETIC CLOSURE FOR AN INTERCHANGEABLE ORNAMENT
A jewelry piece having a body or housing that defines a cavity sized and shaped to removably receive an interchangeable ornament and a cover or back connected to the body, such that the jewelry piece may be opened or closed. The body and cover magnetically and mechanically engage when the jewelry piece is closed to secure the ornament without the need for excessive force or an additional tool. The magnetic engagement is accomplished by magnets that are located opposite each other when the jewelry piece is closed. The mechanical engagement is accomplished by interlocking mating elements that combine to define a bail when the jewelry piece is closed.
Charm keeper assembly
A charm keeper assembly that includes a first and a second clasp member disposed at respective free ends of a strand member and a charm keeper body having a keeper body thickness and independently disposed adjacent to a clasp member and having a spring-loaded charm retention member at least partially housed within the keeper body. The charm retention member includes a retention surface spanning upwardly in a transverse direction away from an outer surface of the charm keeper body to a terminal end defining a keeper offset length when the spring-loaded charm retention member is in a fully extended position along a retention member translation path. The assembly also includes at least one charm member defining a lumen with a lumen diameter having a maximum length less than the offset length and the keeper body thickness, combined, when the charm retention member is in the fully extended position.
CONNECTING APPARATUS FOR WATCH STRAP AND WATCH STRAP WITH THE SAME
Disclosed are a connecting apparatus for a watch strap that enables a user to simply replace a watch strap without a separation tool, and a watch strap with the connecting apparatus. The connecting apparatus connects a body of a watch and a watch strap, and includes at least: a tube having a first hole; a first pin inserted in and being able to protrude from a first end of the tube; a second pin inserted in and being able to protrude from a second end of the tube; a spring disposed between the first and second pins, providing elasticity to the first and second pins, in first and second directions, respectively; a protrusive member connected to the first pin and protruding through the first hole; and a slider connected to the protrusive member, moving the first pin in the second direction, and having a portion overlapping the first hole.
