Abstract
An extensible ornamental item comprising an annular element formed by a plurality of meshes and an elastic ring mounted passing through each mesh, each mesh having a female element and a male element constrained in a mutually movable manner to the male element and to the female element, respectively, of the two adjacent meshes, each male element comprising a tubular body provided with flaps comprising a slot, each female element comprising a central body, a circular hole, two circular openings and two pairs of pins. Each pin is adapted to engage in the respective slot of the male element.

Extensible ornamental item comprising:
- an annular element formed by a plurality of meshes arranged adjacent to each other along a circumferential direction,
- an elastic ring mounted passing through each mesh along said circumferential direction, wherein:
- each mesh is coupled to an adjacent mesh in a mutually movable manner along a circumferential direction,
- each mesh comprises a female element at a first end portion and a male element at a second end portion opposite the first end portion,
- the female element and the male element are constrained in a mutually movable manner with respect to the male element of the mesh and to the female element of the adjacent mesh,
- characterised in that:
- each male element comprises a tubular body extending along a longitudinal direction between a first opening provided with a first pair of opposing flaps and a second opening, opposite the first opening, provided with a second pair of opposing flaps,
- each flap comprises a respective slot extending along the longitudinal direction,
- each female element comprises a central body and a circular hole passing through said central body between a first circular opening provided with a first pair of opposing pins and a second circular opening, opposite the first circular opening along the longitudinal direction, provided with a second pair of opposing pins,
- each pin of the first pair of opposing pins of the female element of a first mesh is adapted to engage in the respective slot of each flap of the first pair of opposing flaps of the male element of the first mesh,
- each pin of the second pair of opposing pins of the female element of the first mesh is adapted to engage in the respective slot of each flap of the second pair of opposing flaps of the male element of a second mesh, adjacent to the first mesh,
- each respective slot of each flap of the second pair of opposing flaps of the male element of the first mesh is further adapted to engage each pin of a second pair of opposing pins of the female element of a third mesh, adjacent to the first mesh and opposite to the second mesh with respect to the first mesh,
- whereby upon coupling a first mesh to an adjacent second mesh, a male-female coupling and a female-male coupling are obtained which thereby enable movement and distancing between the first and second meshes.
