  • Adjustable length necklace and bracelet
    Patent number: 6564582
    Abstract: An adjustable length bracelet or necklace in which a chain link is formed in a continuous loop and passes through a pair of oval-shaped barrels. The chain loops around and is attached to each oval-shaped barrel by an aperture in the side of the barrel forming an elegantly simple construction. A super slick deformable resistant resilient material inside the oval-shaped barrels resiliently holds the barrels in an adjusted position. Sliding the oval-shaped barrels on the links of the chain adjusts the diameter of the necklace from a maximum to a minimum or anywhere in between. Preferably the oval-shaped barrels are constructed of a memory metal that is super elastic and is highly resistant to distortion. A nickel-titanium shaped memory alloy would be suitable. Also disclosed is an ankle or wrist bracelet linked to a ring to be worn on a finger or a toe.
