Abstract

A rotatable mechanism for jewelry and decorative pieces where the a plurality of ball-bearings are used to connect decorative pieces together with a main fixed piece, allowing the easy rotation and spinning of said decorative pieces, as compared to prior art construction for moveable decorative pieces that are directly linked to the main fixed piece, resulting in more friction being present when the spinning/rotation is to happen. Present invention helps to increase the aesthetic value of jewelry or decorative piece when the freedom of rotation/spinning is greatly enhanced.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A rotatable mechanism for jewelry and decorative accessories, comprising: 
 a. A main fixed piece having at least one hole; and,    b. A ball-bearing attached to the inside of each of said hole, said ball-bearing further having a moveable decorative piece attached to a inner pivoting portion of said ball-bearing, so that the decorative piece can turn or spin freely relative to said main fixed piece, due to the use of said ball-bearing.    
   
   
       2 . The mechanism of  claim 1 , wherein said ball-bearing further having an inner ring, an outer ring, and a plurality of roller balls in between said inner ring and outer ring, so that the outer ring is attached to said hole on main fixed piece and the inner ring is attached to the decorative piece.  
   
   
       3 . The mechanism of  claim 2 , wherein the decorative piece, the main fixed piece and the ball-bearing are made from the same material.  
   
   
       4 . The mechanism of  claim 3 , further comprising a center ball-bearing separating said main fixed piece into two segments, said center ball-bearing having a decorative piece attached to its inner ring, resulting in the free rotation/spinning of said decorative piece relative to the outer ring of said center ball-bearing.  
   
   
       5 . A rotatble mechanism for jewelry and decorative accessories, comprising: 
 a. A main fixed piece having a straight portion containing at least one ball-bearing; and,    b. At least one decorative piece attached to said ball-bearing.    
   
   
       6 . The mechanism of  claim 5 , wherein said ball-bearing further having an inner ring, an outer ring, and a plurality of roller balls in between said inner ring and outer ring, so that the outer ring is attached to said decorative piece and the inner ring is attached to the straight portion of said main fixed piece.  
   
   
       7 . The mechanism of  claim 6 , wherein the decorative piece and main fixed piece and the ball-bearing are made from the same material.  
   
   
       8 . A rotatable mechanism for jewelry and decorative accessories, comprising: 
 a. main fixed piece having at least one hole; and,    b. A combination ball-bearing attached to the inside of said hole, said ball-bearing further having a moveable decorative piece attached to a inner pivoting portion of said ball-bearing, so that the decorative piece can turn or spin freely relative to said main fixed piece, due to the use of said combination ball-bearing.    
   
   
       9 . The mechanism of  claim 8 , wherein said combination ball-bearing has an inner concentric ball-bearing and an outer concentric ball-bearing, so that the each of the two ball-bearings can have its inner ring freely rotate/spin around relative to the outer ring, and the outer ring of inner concentric ball-bearing and the inner ring of outer concentric ball-bearing are connected together by filler material.
