Customizable bracelet

Abstract

A bracelet is made from a clasp and multiple linking pieces (that may be a charm, link or watch) and each of the linking pieces has a male end with a lip and a notch on its bottom side and a bar held in a female end to create a defined opening. Two linking pieces of the bracelet are interlinked to one another by inserting the notch of a first piece in the defined opening of a second piece when an insertion angle formed between the bottom sides of the two pieces is less than ninety degrees and then increasing the insertion angle to greater than ninety degrees so that the bar of the second piece is retained within the notch of the first piece and cannot be removed unless the insertion angle is decreased to less than ninety degrees. The clasp can be a one-piece clasp or a two-piece clasp, both of which will link to a female link end of a first link and a male end of a second link.

1 . A bracelet, comprising:
 a plurality of linking pieces, each of which has a male end with a lip and a notch on a bottom side and a bar held in a female end to create a defined opening; and   a clasp for opening and closing the bracelet;   wherein two linking pieces are interlinked to one another by inserting the notch of a first linking piece into the defined opening of a second linking piece when an insertion angle formed between the bottom sides of the first and second linking pieces is less than ninety degrees and then increasing the insertion angle to greater than ninety degrees so that the bar of the second linking piece is retained within the notch of the first linking piece and cannot be removed from said notch unless the insertion angle is decreased to less than ninety degrees; and   wherein the bracelet is formed by interconnecting the plurality of linking pieces together with the clasp.   
   
   
       2 . The bracelet of  claim 1 , wherein the clasp has a clasp bottom side, a clasp male end with a latching mechanism for latching and retaining the bar of one of the plurality of linking pieces and a clasp bar held in a female clasp end to create a defined clasp opening for being retained within the notch of one of the plurality of linking pieces when an angle formed between the clasp bottom side and the bottom side of said one of the plurality of linking pieces is greater than ninety degrees. 
   
   
       3 . The bracelet of  claim 1 , wherein the clasp is a two piece clasp that is opened by an unclasp actuator and closed by a clasp locking mechanism and a first clasp piece has a clasp male end with a clasp lip and a clasp notch on a clasp bottom side and a clasp bar is held in a female clasp end to create a defined clasp opening in a second clasp piece. 
   
   
       4 . The bracelet of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of links includes a plurality of charms. 
   
   
       5 . The bracelet of  claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of links is a watch. 
   
   
       6 . The bracelet of  claim 1 , wherein the lip and the notch of the plurality of linking pieces is not visible when the bracelet is worn about a wrist. 
   
   
       7 . The bracelet of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of linking pieces cannot be separated one from another when the bracelet is worn about a wrist when the clasp is in a closed state. 
   
   
       8 . The bracelet of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a second plurality of linking pieces for intermixing with the first plurality of linking pieces to form a modified bracelet.   
   
   
       9 . The bracelet of  claim 1 , wherein the bracelet is sized and designed for wearing on a ring of a user. 
   
   
       10 . The bracelet of  claim 1 , wherein the bracelet is sized and designed for wearing as a choker necklace on a user. 
   
   
       11 . A bracelet linking piece, comprising:
 a male end with a lip and a notch on a bottom side; and   a female end that holds a bar to define a defined opening;   wherein two bracelet linking pieces are interlinked to one another by inserting the notch of a first linking piece in the defined opening of a second linking piece when an insertion angle formed between the bottom sides of the first and second linking pieces is less than ninety degrees and then increasing the insertion angle to greater than ninety degrees so that the bar of the second linking piece is retained within the notch of the first linking piece and cannot be removed from said notch unless the insertion angle is decreased to less than ninety degrees.   
   
   
       12 . The bracelet link of  claim 11 , wherein the bracelet linking piece is comprised of a charm. 
   
   
       13 . The bracelet link of  claim 11 , wherein the bracelet linking piece is comprised of a linkage piece. 
   
   
       14 . The bracelet link of  claim 11 , wherein the bracelet linking piece is comprised of a watch. 
   
   
       15 . A method for creating a bracelet, comprising:
 selecting a plurality of linking pieces, each of which has a male end with a lip and a notch on a bottom side and a bar held in a female end to create a defined opening; and   forming the bracelet by interlinking the plurality of linking pieces together with a clasp;   wherein two linking pieces are interlinked to one another by inserting the notch of a first linking piece in the defined opening of a second linking piece when an insertion angle formed between the bottom sides of the first and second linking pieces is less than ninety degrees and then increasing the insertion angle to greater than ninety degrees so that the bar of the second linking piece is retained within the notch of the first linking piece and cannot be removed from said notch unless the insertion angle is decreased to less than ninety degrees.   
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the clasp has a clasp bottom side, a clasp male end with a latching mechanism for latching and retaining the bar of one of the plurality of linking pieces and a clasp bar held in a female clasp end to create a defined clasp opening for being retained within the notch of one of the plurality of linking pieces when an angle formed between the clasp bottom side and the bottom side of said one of the plurality of linking pieces is greater than ninety degrees. 
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the clasp is a two piece clasp that is opened by an unclasp actuator and closed by a clasp locking mechanism and a first clasp piece has a clasp male end with a clasp lip and a clasp notch on a clasp bottom side and a clasp bar is held in a female clasp end to create a defined clasp opening in a second clasp piece.
