RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 424,211, datedMarch 25, 1890.

Application filed November 14, 1889. Serial No. 330,800. (No model.)

To alt whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, WILLIAM M. KAAS, of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, and PAUL JEANNE, of Jersey City, in the countyof Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Ring, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to jewelry; and its object is to provide a new and improved ring made in sections, which may be worn independently of each other.

The invention consists of a ring made in two sections, of which one is adapted to receive in its crown the crown of the other.

The invention also consists of certain parts and details and combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter, and then pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a persective view of the improvement. Fig. 2 is an inverted sectional plan view of the same on the line or x of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is anelevation of the improvement, showing the two sections disconnected; and Fig. 4: is an elevation, partly in section, of the same in a different position.

The improved ring A is made of the two ringsections B and 0, each of which formsa complete ring in itself. The ring-section B is provided with the shank I) and a crown E, having an opening F, adapted to receive the crown G, held on the shank II of the ringsection 0.

In the under side of the crown E of the ring-section B are formed recesses I, adapted to receive part of the shank II of the ringsection 0, so as to hold the latter in place on the ring-section B when the two ring-sections are connected with each other, as is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The recesses I in the crown E are arranged next to the shank D, so that when the ring-section C is put in position on the ring-section B and its shank H fits into the said recesses I then the two shanks D and H rest one upon the other and form the shank for the ring A. The opening F in the crown E must be sufficiently large to permitthe entrance of the crown G from underneath, as the ring-section C is placed in position on the ring-section B from underneath, so that the crown G passes through the opening F in the crown Euntil the shank H engages the recesses I in the crown E. It is understood that the diameters of the shanks D and H are alike, so as to form the shank for the ring A. The shape of the crown E may be varied to make a complete circle or formed like a heart or a crescent, as shown in the drawings, and studded with precious stones. The crown G may also be studded with precious stones; but it must be somewhat less in diameter than the opening F, so as to pass into the same. WVhen the two ring-sections are connected with each other and worn, they form a single ring and have the appearance of such a one.

It is understood that bracelets and other jewelry may be made in a similar manner.

Having thus fully described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A ring comprising two ring-sections of which one is adapted to receive in its crown the crown of the other, substantially as shown and described. V

2. A ring comprising two ring sections, each having a shank and a crown, an d of which one crown is adapted to receive the other, substantially as shown and described.

3. A ring provided with a crown having a vertical opening and notches which are formed on the under side of the crown and arranged alongside and parallel with the shank, substantially as shown and described.

4. In a ring, the combination, with a ringsection provided with a shank and a crown having a central opening and notches, of a second ringsection provided with a shank adapted to lie on the other shank and fitting into said notches, and a crown held on the said shank of the second section and adapted to pass into the opening of the crown of the first section, substantially as shown and de scribed.
