Description

Description: [0001] The invention relates to a piece of jewelry, in particular a finger ring, with a cavity for filling with DNA.

From KR20090054482A a ring with a cavity for filling with blood is known. The cavity shown in this document is difficult and cumbersome to fill.

The present invention has for its object to provide an improved piece of jewelry, which is easier to fill.

This object of the invention is solved by the features of claim 1.

According to the invention a piece of jewelry, in particular finger ring, comprising a cavity for filling with DNA, in particular blood is formed. The finger ring has an inner surface facing the center of the finger ring, on which a filling opening opening into the cavity is arranged. The filling opening can be closed with a locking screw. The finger ring furthermore has a cover surface lying opposite the inner surface, in which cover surface a receiving opening with a viewing window arranged therein is formed. Through the lens, the interior of the cavity is visible.

An advantage of the inventive design of the piece of jewelry is that the cavity through the filling easy to fill with DNA, especially blood. In this case, the degree of filling in the cavity can be observed during the filling process through the viewing window and thus the current filling state can be determined. Subsequently, the locking screw, which fulfills a sealing effect, used and thus the cavity from the environment to be completed.

Further, it can be provided that in a ring member of the finger ring, a recess is formed, through which the cavity is partially or completely bounded. The advantage here is that the cavity can be integrated into the ring element and therefore is easy to train.

In addition, it may be appropriate that the finger ring comprises an essay, by which the cavity is partially or completely bounded. The advantage here is that can be increased or arbitrarily designed by the essay of the cavity.

Furthermore, it may be appropriate that the viewing window is secured by a material connection, in particular by means of a polysiloxane in the receiving opening. The advantage here is that thereby the lens is recorded as media-tight as possible in the top surface of the cavity.

Further, it can be provided that the filling opening is arranged at an angle between 35 ° and 89 °, in particular between 50 ° and 85 °, preferably between 60 ° and 80 ° to the inner surface. The advantage here is that the filling can be made easily accessible.

In addition, it can be provided that the inner surface and the top surface are arranged parallel or concentric with each other. The advantage here is that the cavity thus has a simple and uniform shape. Thus, the filling volume can be well predetermined.

Also advantageous is an expression, according to which it can be provided that the viewing window is formed from a mineral glass. The advantage here is that the lens can thereby have a high stability and at the same time the highest possible resistance property, such as scratch resistance, may have.

According to a further development, it is possible that in the receiving opening of the top surface a neck is formed, which approach is used for positioning the lens. The advantage here is that the lens can be easily used by the approach and beyond can be accurately recorded in the cavity.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the ring member of the finger ring on the outside thereof has a flattening at which flattening of the attachment connects and the attachment is materially connected to the ring member, wherein a recess is arranged in the ring member, which recess as a passage or recording for the locking screw is used. The advantage here is that the article is thus arranged at a defined position of the ring element. The article can thus form a unit with the ring element and be designed according to the art of aesthetic design.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the ring element of the finger ring is designed as a ring segment, wherein the article is designed as a closed box and the cavity is formed in the essay, wherein a recess of the ring segment corresponds to the size of the article and wherein the ring segment a lateral surface of the attachment connects and is materially connected thereto. The advantage here is that thereby the piece of jewelry may have the lowest possible mass, since the finger ring does not have to be formed continuously.

For a better understanding of the invention, this will be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.

As can be seen from Fig. 13, it can be provided that the attachment 10 is formed as a cylinder with a rectangular base.

FIG. 14 shows a further embodiment of the finger ring 2, which may be independent of itself, wherein the same reference numerals or component designations are again used for the same parts as in the preceding FIGS. 2 to 8. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, reference is made to the detailed description in the preceding figures 2 to 8 or reference.

Fig. 14 shows a sectional view of another embodiment of a finger ring 2. In the embodiment of Fig. 5, the ring member 3 has a recess 23 through which the cavity 4 is partially formed. The attachment 10 is formed as a frame member and surrounds the recess 23. In particular, the cavity 4 is limited by the recess 23 in the ring member 3 through the attachment 10 and through the lens 8. The viewing window 8 is formed as a flat disc.

In the following, the filling process of the cavity 4 is briefly outlined. It can be provided that the locking screw 13 is removed from the filling opening 12 in order to release the filling opening 12 for the filling process and to make the cavity 3 accessible.

Subsequently, it can be provided that the DNA 5, in particular blood, is introduced through the filling opening 12 into the cavity 4 by means of a pipette or another metering instrument.

Subsequently, the cavity 4 can be closed by the locking screw 13 to seal the cavity 4. This filling process of the finger ring 2 can take place in a solemn ceremony, for example in the course of a wedding.

The exemplary embodiments show possible variants of the finger ring 2.

For the sake of order, it should finally be pointed out that, for a better understanding of the structure of the finger ring 2, this or its components have been shown partially unevenly and / or enlarged and / or reduced in size.
