Abstract
A necklace comprises an elongated strand consisting of a series of interconnected links of a polygonal cross section with the depending free ends of the strand spaced apart. A series of spaced housings are non-rotatably mounted upon the strand for selective longitudinal adjustment. Opposed walls of each housing having an aperture therethrough of a corresponding polygonal shape to cooperatively engage the strand. Each housing has an end wall and an open end including an ornament facing outwardly of the strand. A resilient spacer is interposed in compression between the end wall and strand for yieldably retaining the housing against longitudinal movement relative to the strand. A pair of housings on the strand are laterally spaced apart and interconnected.
Claims13
A necklace comprising an elongated flexible strand;
- the depending free ends of the strand being substantially parallel and spaced apart;
- a series of spaced slide housings mounted upon the strand for selective longitudinal adjustment thereon;
- opposed walls of each slide housing having an aperture therethrough of a size and shape to cooperatively engage and receive the strand, the slide housings being non-rotatably mounted on the strand, each slide housing having an end wall and an outwardly facing ornamental end;
- a resilient friction means within each said slide housing interposed in compression between the end wall and the strand for adjustably retaining said slide housing against longitudinal movement relative to the strand;
- stop means on the ends of said strand;
- a pair of housings, one of said pair on each of said strand ends, said pair being laterally spaced apart;
- and means fixedly interconnecting said pair of housings.
