Abstract
The second ring 31 and the fourth ring 33 are fixed to the ouch 5 so that the table surface 7a (front, of the ornament unit) has a position that is directed upward by an angle alpha of about 5° to 45° with respect to the gravity direction. When it is in use condition. For example, it is achieved by twisting the first joint 61 and the second joint 63 by an angle corresponding to the angle alpha.
Claims11
A personal ornament which is configured to be worn about a neck of a user, the personal ornament comprising:
- a holder configured to hold an ornament unit, the holder having first and second sides, the ornament unit being disposed between the first and second sides of the holder;
- a frame attached to the holder, the ornament unit of the holder being disposed between two end portions of the frame having a predetermined distance therebetween;
- a first member having a circle or arc-shaped first bending unit which is fixed to the frame at a first end portion of the frame;
- a second member having a circle or arc-shaped second bending unit, which is fixed on the holder at the first side of the holder, and engages with the first member in a state that the second member is configured to swing by contacting inner circumferences of the first bending unit and the second bending unit at a first contact point;
- a third member having a circle or arc-shaped third bending unit which is fixed to the frame at a second end portion of the frame at a same position at the second end portion of the frame as the position of the first member at the first end portion of the frame;
- and
- a fourth member having a circle or arc-shaped fourth bending unit which is fixed to the holder at the second side of the holder, and which engages with the third member in a state that the fourth member is configured to swing by contacting inner circumferences of the third bending unit and the fourth bending unit at a second contact point,
- wherein the first contact point and the second contact point are positioned in a distance range X of the holder, where the distance range X is defined by 0<X<h/2, where h is the distance between the center of the holder and the end of the holder, and
- the position of the first contact point and the second contact point in relation to the end of the holder results in an inclination angle of an entire table surface of the ornament unit by approximately 5 to 45 degrees with respect to a first plane defined along the perimeter of the second member and a second plane defined along the perimeter of the fourth member.

- a first member having a circle or arc-shaped first bending unit which is fixed to the frame at a first end portion of the frame;
- a second member having a circle or arc-shaped second bending unit, which is fixed on the holder at the first side of the holder, and engages with the first member in a state that the second member is configured to swing by contacting inner circumferences of the first bending unit and the second bending unit at a first contact point;
- a third member having a circle or arc-shaped third bending unit which is fixed to the frame at a second end portion of the frame at a same position at the second end portion of the frame as the position of the first member at the first end portion of the frame;
- and
- a fourth member having a circle or arc-shaped fourth bending unit which is fixed to the holder at the second side of the holder, and which engages with the third member in a state that the fourth member is configured to swing by contacting inner circumferences of the third bending unit and the fourth bending unit at a second contact point,
- wherein the first contact point and the second contact point are positioned in a distance range X of the holder, where the distance range X is defined by 0<X<h/2, where h is the distance between the center of the holder and the end of the holder, and
- the position of the first contact point and the second contact point in relation to the end of the holder results in an inclination angle of approximately 5 to 45 degrees of a holder plane passing through the perimeter of the holder, with respect to a first plane defined along the perimeter of the second member and a second plane defined along the perimeter of the fourth member.
