A kit for making a bijou using a mold and water-sensitive mixture
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11684866B2) describes a kit for making bijou using a mold and a powder water-sensitive mixture. The mold consists of a flexible and/or deformable material and includes at least one body with a lower face, an upper face, and a side wall. The body has one or more cavities on the upper face, each equipped with a bottom. The water-sensitive mixture in the kit contains polyvinyl alcohol, guar gum, and ethylene vinyl acetate. The polyvinyl alcohol constitutes 80-90% of the mixture's weight, while guar gum and ethylene vinyl acetate make up 0.5-10% and 4-15% respectively.
The kit offers various features to enhance the bijou-making process. The body of the mold may have first passages, such as through-holes, grooves, or notches, extending from the cavities to the side wall. Additionally, the body can be equipped with opposing passages, which are also through-holes, grooves, or notches, extending from the cavities to the side wall. The mold may also have multiple openings extending from the bottom of the cavities to the lower face of the body. Furthermore, the kit may include a second body that can be attached to the first body, serving as a lid for opening and closing the cavities. This second body may have through openings. The flexible and/or deformable material of the mold can be silicone, a silicone-based material, or rubber.
The water-sensitive mixture in the kit may also contain food dyes and/or sodium tetraborate. Additionally, the kit may include closing and/or hooking means, such as yarns, closed-ring-like lines, clips, rings, open rings, tweezers, or hooks.
Overall, this patented kit provides a convenient and versatile solution for making bijou. The flexible and deformable mold, along with the water-sensitive mixture, allows for easy shaping and customization of the bijou. The various features of the mold and the inclusion of closing and hooking means offer flexibility and creative possibilities for users. With the addition of food dyes and sodium tetraborate, the bijou can be made in a range of vibrant colors. This kit is suitable for individuals interested in creating unique and personalized bijou pieces.
