SUPPORT FOR ORNAMENTAL CRYSTALS, PARTICULARLY FOR FRAMES

Abstract: Support for ornamental crystals (5), particularly for frames, consisting essentially in an overturned cone with prismatic configuration (4) and internally hollow obtaining a receiving seat for said crystals, being insertable to the internal of the preventively holed structure to be adorned.

Description: Support for ornamental crystals, particularly for frames The present invention has for object a support for ornamental crystals, particularly for frames. The innovation finds particular even if not exclusive application as a support means for supporting he crystals E.g. "swaroski" particularly to embellish the spectacle fittings. In prior art crystals that, depending of the specific cutting can be more or less conic with different bevelings on the surface. Said crystals of strongly reduced sizes find even large use in the sector of the spectacles, being particularly suitable in the frames as ornamental elements. Traditionally such operation was made by means of the preventive holing of the fitting in the desired points and successively proceeding to the bezel. A second method traditionally used provides the utilization of a support on which the crystal which basis is realized by penetration staples is preventively secured so consenting the fixation to the frame. In the above disclosed solutions there are different noticeable drawbacks, between these is firstly citeable the fact that for their sizes they are of difficult manipulation, and of not easy placement to the internal of the holes realizing a poor held. Furthermore it appear somewhat limited in the respective applications not having the possibility to utilize alternative solutions, while the working cannot avail of the standard configuration. Finally in the second proposed solution the fixation of the crystal support to the structure is somewhat precarious with the main drawback of, easy detaching from the surface, decreasing the ornamental structure. Purpose of the present invention is to obviate to the mentioned drawbacks. This and other purposes are reached with the present innovation according to the characteristics of the appended claims solving the exposed problems by means of a support means for ornamental crystals particularly for frames, being realized by a conic means overturned with a prismatic configuration, internally empty realizing a receiving seat particularly for said crystals. In such a way a more easy manipulation is made possible, and the utilization of standard supports or adaptable to a large range of different crystals, fasten bezel operations, remaining substantially unchanged the previous working phases. A further advantage is given by the possibility to obtain peripherically to the container a frame in which is possible to insert other stones and bodies of varies conformation and color to realize a specific working, as shapings and so on, incrementing the possibility to vary the aesthetical aspect. Finally respect to the second known method, such support consents a optimum anchorage, avoiding that the same structures jut from the fitting. These and other advantages will appear from the successive specified solutions in a preferential description of realization with the help of the accompanying drawings which particulars of execution are not to be considered limitative but exemplificative solely. Figure 1 represents a schematic lateral view of a support means; Figure 2 represents a plant view of the support means of Figure 1 ; Figure 3 represents a schematic lateral view in section of the support plugged means in a structure to adorn; Figure 4 represents a prospect of a crystal to insert in said support; Figure 5 represents a schematic view of the ensemble, respectively of the plugged /pluggeable crystal into the crystal support in Figure 1. The figures disclose a supporting structure (5) in which at least one hole is preventively obtained, being in this hole plugged/pluggeable a crystal support (A) having a prismatic conical shape (4) with internal conical cavity (3) starting from a flat basis (1) a opening so consenting the internally insertion (C fig.5), of a crystal (B). The support crystal means (A) is preferably realized in metal having in its peripherical frame a basis in which it s possible to make successive workings and/or to set other crystals or other ornamental bodies (2).

Claims: CLAIMS 1 . A support structure for ornamental pieces (5), particularly to realize frames, having ornamental piece receiving hole/s, characterized by the fact that into each hole is pledged/pluggeable an ornamental piece support (A), said ornamental pieces support (A) being of conical shape, internally empty (3) realizing a conical cavity as an ornamental piece receiving seat (B). 2. A support structure as claimed in claim 1., characterized in that said conical ornamental piece support (A) has a prismatic shape (4) said ornamental piece seat receiving hollow (3) realizing a basis frame (1 ) to frame (C) the received ornamental piece (B). 3. A support structure s claimed in previous claims, characterized in that the ornamental piece (B) is a crystal and in which said ornamental piece support means (A) is made of metal, realizing peripherically a frame basis (2) on which further ornamental smaller pieces are inserted. 4. A support structure as claimed in previous claims, characterized in that said support means (A) is drowned in the respective support structure (5).
