Abstract
A device for allowing jewelry strands to be added or replaced comprising two interlocking arms, two rotating members, two knobs, and a shaft. The closed end of each interlocking arm is attached to a rotating member, the shaft extends through an aperture in each rotating member, and a knob is situated on each end of the shaft. The two interlocking arms are roughly the same size. The interlocking arms are positioned one on top of the other such that they form a closed shape when the interlocking arms are in a closed position. The rotating members rotate about the shaft, thereby causing the interlocking arms to rotate relative to one another.
Claims11
A device for allowing jewelry strands to be added or replaced comprising:
- (a) two interlocking arms;
- (b) two rotating members;
- (c) two knobs;
- and
- (d) a shaft;
- wherein each interlocking arm comprises a closed end and an open end;
- wherein the closed end of each interlocking arm is attached to one of the rotating members;
- wherein the shaft extends through an aperture in each of the rotating members;
- wherein the shaft comprises two ends, and a knob is situated on each end of the shaft, with the rotating members in between the knobs, to prevent the rotating members from falling off the shaft;
- wherein each interlocking arm is of a certain size, and the two interlocking arms are roughly the same size;
- wherein each interlocking arm extends downward and outward from the rotating member to which it is attached, curves inward for a certain distance, extends upward and inward toward the rotating member to which it is not attached, and terminates short of the rotating member to which it is not attached;
- wherein the interlocking arms are positioned one on top of the other such that they form a closed shape when the interlocking arms are in a closed position;
- and
- wherein the rotating members rotate about the shaft, thereby causing the interlocking arms to rotate relative to one another.
