Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/497,352 filed Aug. 22, 2003.
- The present invention relates to wearable jewelry and ornaments, and particularly to such made of precious or semi-precious metals and including magnetic material.
- Magnetics have long been known to have an effect upon the human body. Many people have found that magnetics have substantial health benefits. For example, people have found that exposure to magnetic results in various healing effects, including reduced pain and swelling. Other stated benefits have been reported, including increased stamina.
- One method of exposing the body to magnetics is to place magnetic material adjacent the body. For example, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,095,587, magnetic material may be located in capsules connected to a chain. When the chain is worn, the magnetic material is located proximate the body.
- There are numerous problems or issues to consider when attempting to address a configuration for locating magnetics close to the body. One issue is aesthetics. So that the wearer can frequently wear the magnetic material, it is desirable that the item be aesthetically pleasing. For example, a person could wear a block of magnetic material, such as hematite, connected to a string around their neck. However, this would be unappealing and unacceptable in most settings.
- In this regard, the magnetic material may be associated with jewelry, such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,095,587. However, there are additional considerations. As indicated above, it is desirable to wear the magnetic material most of the time, or for long periods of time. Contact with many materials results in discoloration of the skin or irritation of the skin. In addition, wearing of these materials generally subjects them to body acids, sweat, water and other materials which may result in corrosion of the material.
- Also, some have found it desirable to increase the amount of magnetic material to which they are exposed. However, it is desirable to do this without making configuration less aesthetically appealing.
- An article of jewelry or ornamentation includes a magnetic element.
- One embodiment of the invention is an article of jewelry constructed substantially or primarily from titanium. In one embodiment, the article of jewelry is a bracelet comprising a plurality of joined links. The links are constructed primarily from titanium. One or more magnetic elements are associated with the jewelry. In one embodiment, each link has a top or front face and a bottom or rear face. At least one magnetic element is located in or at the rear face of one or more of the links, so that when the article of jewelry is worn, the magnetic element is located adjacent the wearer's body.
- Another embodiment of the invention is an article of jewelry which is constructed of another precious or semi-precious metal such as gold, silver, platinum. A magnetic element is connected to a body comprising the article. In one embodiment, the magnetic element is mounted in an inset or recess formed in the body.
- In one embodiment, the magnetic element has a face or surface which comprises at least 50%, more preferably comprises about 75% or more, and most preferably comprises about 90% or more of the total area of the rear or bottom of the body.
- In one embodiment, the body comprises a link, and a plurality of the links are connected to form a bracelet. In this embodiment, the magnetic elements preferably also extend along approximately 75%-90% of the total distance traversed by the links.
- In one embodiment, the magnetic element is generally oval in shape and is inset into the body so that the face of the magnetic element is co-planar with the rear of the body.
- In accordance with the invention, an article of jewelry includes one or more magnetics. The body of the article is constructed of a material with is compatible with the human body, which does not corrode, and which will not result in discoloration. In one embodiment, the article is constructed to maximize the amount of magnetic material which is located proximate to or in contact with the body, when considering the size or area of the article.
- Further objects, features, and advantages of the present invention over the prior art will become apparent from the detailed description of the drawings which follows, when considered with the attached figures.

FIG. 1 illustrates one preferred embodiment of the invention. This figure illustrates twobracelets 20 a,b. Thebracelets 20 a,b comprises a plurality oflinks 22 which are interconnected. As illustrated, the twobracelets 20 a,b are similar, differing primarily only in the size/shape of thelinks 22 used to form thebracelet 20 a,b. - The
links 22 may have variety of shapes and sizes.FIG. 2 illustrates oneembodiment link 22 in greater detail. In general, eachlink 22 has a front ortop surface 24 and a rear orbottom surface 26. When the bracelet 20 is worn, the front ortop surface 24 of eachlink 22 generally faces away from the wearer, while the rear orbottom surface 26 is located adjacent to and generally faces the wearer. For example, when worn on the wrist, therear surface 26 of each link is located adjacent the skin of the wrist of the wearer and is thus not readily visible, while thefront surface 24 faces outwardly and is generally visible. - In one embodiment, the
links 22 have afirst end 28 and asecond end 30. In one embodiment, one or more of thelinks 22 are connected at the first and second ends 28,30 to other of the links. Eachlink 22 has a length which comprises the distance from itsfirst end 28 to itssecond end 30. - The
links 22 illustrated generally have afirst edge 32 and asecond edge 34. The distance between theseedges link 22, and thus the width of the bracelet 20. - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , thelink 22 has a generally rectangular shape, with the first andsecond edges link 22 is slightly greater than its width. As indicated above, the particular shape of thelink 22 may vary. For example, as illustrated inFIG. 1 , thelinks 22 of thebracelet 20 b are much greater in length than they are in width. - In one or more embodiments, the
links 22 may have a shape other than rectangular, such as oval, circular or square. As described below, the generally rectangular shape is preferred because it maximizes the magnetic material surface area. - The
links 22 may be constructed from a variety of materials. Preferably, however, thelinks 22 are constructed from a precious or semi-precious metal. Preferably, the metal is one which is corrosion resistant and will not discolor the skin. Such metals may include gold (Au), silver (Ag), platinum (Pt.) and combinations thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the links are constructed from titanium (Ti). Use of titanium has these features, and the added benefit of substantial strength and durability, as well as a low mass/weight. As described below, a particular advantage of the use of titanium is in the strength of thelink 22. - The particular thickness of the
link 22 from its front to itsrear surface link 22 is about 2-5, and most preferably 3.5 mm in thickness. Preferably, the links are generally thin to minimize the weight of the bracelet 20. - As indicated above, a plurality of
links 22 are preferably connected to one another. Preferably a number of thelinks 22 are generally permanently connected. As illustrated inFIG. 2 , thelinks 22 may include an inwardly extendingnotch 36 at thefirst end 28 thereof. Apin 38 may extend across thenotch 26. Thelink 22 may also include an extension ortongue 40 at thesecond end 30. Theextension 40 may include apassage 42 for accepting thepin 38. Theextension 40 of onelink 22 is preferably engaged with thenotch 36 andpin 38 of thenext link 22, thereby joining the links. In this embodiment, thelinks 22 may move relative to one another. - In general, a variety of means may be used to connected the
links 22. Preferably, at least two of thelinks 22 may be readily disconnected from one another, such as with a clasp. This allows the user to open the bracelet 20 to place it on their wrist, and then re-secure it. Such methods and configurations are well known to those of skill in the art. - Most importantly, a
magnetic element 50 is preferably associated with one ormore links 22 of the bracelet 20. Themagnetic element 50 may comprise a wide variety of material, such as those identified in U.S. Pat. No. 4,095,587, which is incorporated herein by reference. - Preferably, a
magnetic element 50 is associated with eachlink 22. As illustrated inFIG. 2 , themagnetic element 50 is mounted to thelink 22. Preferably, themagnetic element 50 is mounted so that aface 52 thereof faces in generally the same direction as therear surface 26 of thelink 22. - In the preferred embodiment, as illustrated, the
magnetic element 50 is mounted within thelink 22, and theface 52 of themagnetic element 50 is generally co-planar with therear surface 26 of thelink 22. Themagnetic element 50 may be mounted to or associated with thelink 22 in a variety of manners. In one embodiment, therear surface 26 of thelink 22 is formed with a depression, inset or recess for accepting themagnetic element 50. In one embodiment, thelink 22 is formed (such as in a molding process) or machined to include the inset or recess. Themagnetic element 50 is then affixed, connected or mounted to thelink 22. Themagnetic element 50 may be affixed in a variety of manners. It is also possible for themagnetic element 50 to comprise a portion or area of thelink 22, such as in a molding process. - As will now be appreciated, the
face 52 of themagnetic element 50 preferably comprises a portion or part of the surface area of the bracelet 20 which is in contact with or in close proximity to the wearer when the bracelet 20 is worn. In accordance with the present invention, thelink 22, including themagnetic element 50, is configured to maximize the exposed surface area ofmagnetic element 50 relative to the total (rear) surface area of thelink 22, and thus to maximize the amount of area of contact of the magnetic material with the user. - As illustrated, in a preferred embodiment, the magnetic element 50 (or at least the face thereof) is generally oval in shape. The element or area may have other shapes, such as circular or square. The
magnetic element 50 is generally centered in therear face 26 of thelink 22. In a preferred embodiment, theface 52 of themagnetic element 50 comprises more than 50%, more preferably about 75% or more, and most preferably about 90% or more of the total area of therear surface 26 of the link (including the magnetic element 50). In this manner, the amount of magnetic material which is located in close proximity to or in contact with the user is maximized relative to the size of the bracelet 20. - In the preferred embodiment as illustrated, a first end of the
magnetic element 50 is located adjacent to, but inset slightly from, thenotch 36 in thefirst end 28 of thelink 22. Themagnetic element 50 extends to a second end thereof which is preferably aligned with the portion of thesecond end 30 of thelink 22, excluding theextension 40. This configuration has the advantage of maximizing the length of themagnetic element 50 associated with thelink 22 without compromising the strength and durability of thelink 22. - The oval shape of the
magnetic element 50 has a number of advantages. First, this shape allows for maximum magnetic element surface area relative to the total area of thelink 22. In addition, the curved edges of themagnetic element 50 and of the associated inset or depression in thelink 22 reduce the probability of failure of theelement 50 orlink 22, including as a result of cracking or the like. - When the
links 22 are connected they form a generally closed loop or ring. In a preferred embodiment, themagnetic elements 50 extend approximately 75% to 90%, and more preferably about 90% or more, of the total length or distance around the interior of the loop or ring formed by thelinks 22. - In one embodiment, the
link 22 is about 11.5 mm in length and themagnetic element 50 is about 7.5 mm in length. The distance from the end of themagnetic element 50 to thenotch 36 is about 1 mm. The distance from the opposing end of themagnetic element 50 to thefirst end 30 of thelink 22, not including the extension ortongue 40, is about 1 mm. The distance from the end of themagnetic element 50 to the end of the extension ortongue 40 is about 3-3.5 mm. In general, it is desirable for the “wall” thickness of the body (such as link) surrounding the magnetic element be no less than about 1 mm in order to ensure structural integrity. - In one embodiment, the
magnetic element 50 which is associated with thelink 22 comprises a single body or member. In other embodiments, a plurality of individualmagnetic elements 50 may be associated with thelink 22. Thus, as used herein, the term “magnetic element” is intended to be construed to include one or more elements. - In other embodiments, the magnetic elements may be located in some, but not all, of the links.
- It will be appreciated that the principles of the invention may be applied to other jewelry or ornamentation. For example, links having associated magnetic elements may be connected to form a necklace. The links may also form a watch band.
- In other configurations, the principles may be applied to individual elements or other elements. For example, the article of the invention may comprise a pendant. In these other configurations, the invention may have a form other than a link, and simply comprise a body containing or having an associated magnetic element. For example, the bracelet may be a generally “C”-shaped element (i.e., one-piece instead of a plurality of links) and the magnetic element(s) may be associated therewith.
- It will be appreciated that the shape and size of such elements may vary. Preferably, however, the element or article comprises a body which is constructed in whole or in part of the material described above, and includes magnetic element.
- The invention has a number of advantages. First, the body of the jewelry, such as the link(s), is constructed from a material which will not corrode, cause skin discoloration or the like. At the same time, the material is aesthetically pleasing. In the preferred embodiment, use of titanium has the significant advantage that while having these characteristics, it is also much lighter in mass for the same size body. In fact, the same body constructed of titanium versus other gold and similar materials may be 40% to 60% lighter.
- Most importantly as well, the amount of magnetic material which is located in close proximity to or in contact with the body is maximized. In particular, when considering the total adjacent surface area of the article (such as the total area of the inside surface of the bracelet), the magnetic material comprises more than 50%, preferably more than 75%, and most preferably 90% or more of the total area. In this manner, for a given size article, the magnetic material exposure is maximized.
- Another advantage is that, while the magnetic material area is maximized, the strength and durability of the article is not compromised. In a preferred embodiment, the magnetic material is in the shape of an oval and located in a similarly shaped inset or recess in the body. This configuration minimizes stresses and the probability of cracks and other breakage. In addition, the oval or other elongate shape allows the magnetic material to form a near continuous or contiguous length of magnetic material. In the case of a bracelet, for example, this means the magnetic material nearly encircles the interior of the bracelet.
- It will be understood that the above described arrangements of apparatus and the method therefrom are merely illustrative of applications of the principles of this invention and many other embodiments and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
