  • Patent number: 7316129
    Abstract: A pendant comprises a pedestal, an ornamental-piece hanging portion from which an ornamental piece is hung, and a chain-threading hole through which a chain is threaded. The pedestal includes a rolling member which rolls in a vertical direction smoothly. The wheel can be positioned within the pedestal, or adjacent an outer surface of the pedestal. The wheel rotates vertically (i.e., about an axis which is generally perpendicular to a plane of the pendant, and which is generally horizontal when the pendant is worn), thereby decreasing coefficient of friction between the connecting surface and the skin or the closing of the wearer. That is, when the pendant is worn, the wheel touches the skin and rotates in order to prevent the ornamental piece from turning up or down.
