Abstract: The invention relates to a chain link for gems comprising a mounting portion, a linking element disposed on the mounting portion and a receiving element provided on the mounting portion for taking up and connecting a linking element of a further chain link, the gem being simultaneously held captively by the fastening element in the mounting portion of this link member by engagement of the linking element of a first chain link with the receiving element of a further chain link. The invention also relates to a method for producing ornamental chains using the inventive chain links and to the ornamental chains themselves.

Abstract: The invention relates to a decorative element having a plurality of gems which are held in a carrier. The carrier comprises:a) an upper impressible layer;b) a lower impressible layer; and,c) an irreversibly deformable layer disposed between the layers. The layers are stuck together and the gems are pressed into the carrier from above in an ornamental arrangement. Optionally, the side of the carrier bearing the gems additionally bears an effect layer.

Abstract: A decorative glass body for viewing objects that are disposed on the base surface of the decorative glass body but seem to be floating inside the glass.

Abstract: The invention relates to an abrasive body having a concave abrasive surface, whereby the abrasive body has a plurality of wings bent with the wing tip pointing in the moving direction. Each wing has a coolant duct in communication with a central opening in the abrasive body.

Abstract: Binoculars having a central device for focusing and diopter adjustment wherein the diopter adjusting wheel is integrated into the face of the focusing drive wheel, whereby the focusing and the diopter adjustment can be performed independently of each other.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fastening device for a transparent body, in particular a glass body for lighting purposes. This fastening device comprises an outer sleeve and a displaceable inner sleeve fitting therein. The outer sleeve contains circumferentially movable tongues with snap-in projections which can snap into depressions provided in a recess in the transparent body.
