Abstract: The present invention overcomes the problem of necklace back chain (02) chain flipping by introducing a specialized mechanism, such as a rivet joint (05), that allows the chain to rotate and twist freely. This mechanism prevents flipping of the chain caused by movement, ensuring that the necklace remains in the desired orientation aligned with the wearer's neck movements. By incorporating this feature, the invention provides a solution that enhances the functionality of the necklace, offering less flipping of the necklace chain.

DESCRIPTION
For promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiment illustrated in the figures and specific language will be used to describe them. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended. Such alterations and further modifications in the illustrated system, and such further applications of the principles of the invention as would normally occur to those skilled in the art are to be construed as being within the scope of the present invention.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory of the invention and are not intended to be restrictive thereof.
The terms "comprises", "comprising", or any other variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process or method that comprises a list of steps does not include only those steps but may include other steps not expressly listed or inherent to such a process or method. Similarly, one or more sub-systems or elements or structures or components preceded by "comprises... a" does not, without more constraints, preclude the existence of other, sub-systems, elements, structures, components, additional sub-systems, additional elements, additional structures, or additional components. Appearances of the phrase "in an embodiment", "in another embodiment" and similar language throughout this specification may, but not necessarily do, all refer to the same embodiment.
Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention belongs. The system, methods, and examples provided herein are only illustrative and not intended to be limiting.
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying figures.
The present invention finds direct application in the fashion industry, catering to individuals who wear necklaces as a form of personal adornment. It offers a solution for those who desire orientation of the necklace chain aligned with the wearer's neck movement wherein the aesthetic elements are always facing front & doesn’t flip on wearing.
The 360 degree chain box in necklaces is suitable for a wide range of necklace styles including a one or more aesthetic element (03). It can be utilized in various materials, such as gold, silver, platinum, or other metals, as well as in aesthetic elements featuring gemstones like diamonds rubies, pearls, or intricate designs.
The present invention discloses a necklace comprising of one or more necklace aesthetic element (03), One or more back chain (02) and one or more relative movement units (15) coupling the necklace aesthetic elements (03) with the back chains (02) of the necklace wherein the two parts can rotate 360 degrees axially with respect to each other. The relative movement unit (15 ) has following required parts assembled in this device:
a) Chain box (01, 18, 19, 20)
b) Rivet joints (05)
The present invention discloses a chain flipper box (01) which consists of a slot (07) to accommodate the rivet joint (05). In one embodiment, the present invention consists of 4 chain boxes (01, 18, 19, 20) each with a specific purpose as depicted in Figure 1. The present invention discloses the chain boxes (01, 20) soldered or securely attached to both sides of the necklace back chain (02). Thus, ensuring that the back chain (02) is firmly connected to the chain box (01, 20). The present invention discloses one chain box (01) which contains the rivet joint (05) connected to a lobster lock (06). This chain box serves as the closure for the necklace, allowing for easy locking and unlocking.
The present invention further discloses two other chain boxes (01). These boxes are positioned at the end parts of the aesthetic element (03) and serve as connection points for the back chain (02) with the necklace. The present invention further discloses the last chain box (20) contains a rivet joint (05) connected to 12 jump rings (07). These jump rings (07) allow for the necklace to be resized to accommodate different neck sized, providing flexibility and adjustability. In one embodiment of the invention the rivet joint (05) allows controlled 360-degree rotational movement of the necklace back chain (02) and twist freely and prevent the flipping of the necklace aesthetic element (03) attached to the back chain (02) caused by the neck movement.
In one embodiment, the present invention consists of 8 chain flipper boxes ( 01, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 , 24) each with a specific purpose as depicted in Figure 2. The present invention discloses one chain flipper box (01) which contains the rivet joint (05) connected to a lobster lock (06). These boxes are positioned at the end parts of the aesthetic element (03) and serve as connection points for the back chain (02) with the necklace. The present invention further discloses the last chain box (20) contains a rivet joint (05) connected to 12 jump rings (07). Additionally, there are multiple aesthetic elements and chain boxes (21,22,23,24) flanking both sides of the additional aesthetic elements (25,26). The present invention further discloses the last chain box (20) contains a rivet joint connected to 12 jump rings(07).
In one example, the present invention further discloses chain box is having a circular shape (12), Oval shape (11), rectangular shape (13) or square shape(14) as depicted in Figure 3. The range for the length of the chain box (01) is 2 mm to 4mm. The diameter for the hole in the chain box (09) is 0.60mm to 1.50 mm. The dimensions for [09] and (05) are based on the width of the back chain and thickness accordingly.
The present invention is tested by making different prototypes. The primary business application is in the field of jewellery making.
,CLAIMS:1. A necklace comprising :-
One or more necklace aesthetic element (03,25,26)
