  • Ball chain and connector for tessellated patterns
    Patent number: 7124477
    Abstract: A ball chain assembly may be used to form tessellated patterns of ball chains. The ball chains include a series of balls and intermediate links of a breadth less than the breadth of said balls. A chain connector of one-piece construction defines a circular array of ball-receiving sockets. Each of the sockets are sized to receive a ball of one of said chains. A ball of the chain can be inserted into one of the sockets of the chain connector where a link of the inserted ball passes through the slot extending from the socket, such that a chain can be connected to each of the sockets.
