Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2389826A1] The bracelet, necklace or ring link (1, 2) comprises a hollow shell formed by electroforming a precious metal or its alloy, and set stones. The shell comprises a bearing (3, 4, 7), at its interior, in the form of cylindrical tubes, where the bearing supports, surrounds and guides a hinge pin (5, 8) fixedly and connects the shell of the link to the pin at a variable length. Each bearing is linked to one of the side walls (6) of the shell. The attachment of the hinge pin and connection is achieved through a bearing bore using an adjustment unit or by gluing, welding, riveting or screwing. The bracelet, necklace or ring link (1, 2) comprises a hollow shell formed by electroforming a precious metal or its alloy, and set stones. The shell comprises a bearing (3, 4, 7), at its interior, in the form of cylindrical tubes, where the bearing supports, surrounds and guides a hinge pin (5, 8) fixedly and connects the shell of the link to the pin at a variable length. Each bearing is linked to one of the side walls (6) of the shell. The attachment of the hinge pin and connection is achieved through a bearing bore using an adjustment unit or by gluing, welding, riveting or screwing through a tapped hole of the bearing. The bearing acts as an element for hinge rotation of the shell by freely enclosing the hinge pin, and is guided longitudinally around the body of the pin with a clearance between the bearing bore and the body of the hinge pin. An end of the bearing is drawn perpendicular to its axis by a recess, which pierces the wall of the shell opposite to the wall that supports the bearing. The bearing further comprises a passage hole having specified dimensions.
