Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a ring.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, rings have been widely used as ornaments. There are many types of rings, such as those with jewels attached via a pedestal, so-called eternity rings in which a large number of jewels are embedded all around the ring, or those without decoration such as jewels. A ring is provided.

Generally, the size of the ring is determined by the diameter of the inner hole into which the finger is inserted. Then, the user purchases a ring having a size substantially matching the diameter of his / her finger, that is, a ring having an inner hole having a diameter substantially matching the diameter of the finger. If the size of the ring does not match the diameter of the finger, the size will be too large and the ring will rotate, or will easily come off the finger. Conversely, the size will be too small to be attached to the finger. Problems such as occur. Therefore, at the time of purchase, it is difficult to select a ring that accurately matches the finger.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, the conventional ring can be adapted only to a user who has a finger having the same size, and thus has a problem that the applicable range is narrow. And since the size of the finger is wide ranging from No. 1 to No. 27, the seller of the ring has all of the above-mentioned items for one kind of ring so that it can be adapted to various users. It is necessary to prepare the size of. Therefore, when preparing all of the above sizes with respect to many types of rings, the number thereof is enormous. As a result, the seller is forced to spend a large amount of money and always has a large inventory amount. The same problem as described above occurs not only for the seller but also for the manufacturer of the ring.

On the other hand, the diameter of the finger changes according to age and the like, and in particular, it increases as the age increases. Therefore, even a ring that was suitable for a finger at the time of purchase becomes smaller in size as the age increases, and there is a problem that the ring cannot be removed from the finger or cannot be attached to the finger. When the size of the ring becomes smaller in this way, it is usually necessary to cut a part of the ring once, refill the cut part with metal, and then join the cut part again to enlarge the size of the ring. I have to. The above work requires skill and is very time-consuming and costly. Also, in the case of the eternity ring, since the jewels are attached to the entire circumference of the ring, there is a possibility that the jewels may be damaged or the design may become unbalanced by performing the work for expanding the size as described above. Is high,
Repair becomes difficult.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a ring that can be adapted to fingers of a plurality of sizes and whose size can be easily corrected.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, according to the ring of the present invention, a ring main body having an inner hole into which a finger can be inserted and an inner surface of the ring main body defining the inner hole are formed. And a plurality of protrusions protruding into the hole. The space between the adjacent protrusions forms an accommodating portion that can partially receive the outer skin of the finger inserted into the inner hole.

These protrusions are formed on a portion of the inner surface of the ring body that faces the belly portion of the finger inserted into the inner hole. Also,
The size and number of these protrusions are the virtual minimum size defined by the diameter of the circle that contacts the protrusion end of the protrusion and the inner surface of the ring body, and the area of the circle having the diameter of the minimum size and the area of the accommodating portion. Is set to have an imaginary maximum size defined by the diameter of a circle having the same area as the total area of, and the difference between the minimum size and the maximum size is set to about 1 or more. .

Further, according to another ring of the present invention, at least one recess is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the ring body defining the inner hole into which the finger can be inserted. Then, the recess forms an accommodating portion that can partially receive the outer skin portion of the finger inserted into the inner hole.

(Operation) According to the ring configured as described above, the diameter of the circle in contact with the protruding end of the protruding portion is the minimum diameter of the ring, that is, the minimum size of the ring. Since the ring is provided with the accommodating portions and the outer skin portions of the fingers can be partially received in these accommodating portions, the ring can be attached to a finger having a size larger than the minimum size. That is, when the ring is attached to a finger thicker than the minimum size, the outer skin portion of the finger is deformed and partially escapes into the accommodating portion, and as a result, the ring can be attached. As described above, the ring of the present application has a virtual maximum size larger than the minimum size due to the presence of the accommodation portion. Therefore, it is possible to attach one ring to a finger having a size included between the minimum size and the maximum size, and the applicable range of the ring is greatly expanded. Then, by adjusting the size of the accommodating portion, that is, by adjusting the number of the protruding portions, the protruding height, the shape, etc., the applicable range of the ring, that is, the width between the minimum size and the maximum size. Can be set freely.

Further, even if the size of the user's finger increases after purchasing the ring, the size of the ring can be easily corrected by changing the volume of the accommodation portion.

Embodiments Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a ring according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an annular ring main body 10 and an inner hole 12 into which a finger can be inserted is formed by an inner peripheral surface of the ring main body. There is. In addition, the ring includes a plurality of, for example, eight projecting portions 14 that project from the inner peripheral surface 15 of the ring body 10 into the inner hole 12.

The protrusions 14 have the same shape, and are the same as the height T from the inner peripheral surface 15 of the ring body 10 to the inner hole 12.
Protruding towards the center of. In the embodiment, each protrusion 14 has a conical shape and is integrally formed with the ring body by using the same material as the ring body. The protrusions 14 are provided substantially at the center of the inner peripheral surface 15 of the ring body 10 in the width direction, and are also provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction.

As shown by hatching in FIG. 1, the accommodation portion 16 is formed by the space between two adjacent protruding portions 14.
As will be described later, these accommodating portions 16 can partially receive the outer skin portion of the finger inserted into the inner hole 12.

The ring configured as described above has a minimum size determined by the radius A of the circle that contacts the protruding end of the protruding portion 14. When a finger having a size corresponding to the minimum size is inserted into the inner hole 12, the ring is attached to the finger with the tips of the protrusions 14 in contact with the outer surface of the finger. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, when a finger thicker than the minimum size is inserted into the inner hole 12, the outer skin portion of the finger is deformed along the protruding portion 14 and partially inside the plurality of accommodating portions 16. Enter. Therefore, it is possible to wear a ring on a finger thicker than the minimum size. And the maximum size of the finger that can be worn, that is,
The maximum size of the ring is determined by the radius B of the circle having the area of the circle having the radius A and the area of all the accommodating portions 16. Further, the ring has a reference size determined by a radius C that is between the radii A and B.

According to the ring configured as described above, the plurality of protrusions 14 that protrude from the inner peripheral surface 15 of the ring body 10 are provided, and the accommodating portion that can partially receive the outer skin portion of the finger between these protrusions. 16 is provided. Therefore, this ring has a virtual minimum size and a maximum size, and can be attached to all fingers having sizes included between these sizes. For example, if the reference size of the ring is No. 12,
The minimum size is No. 12-2 to No. 4, and the maximum size is 1.
It becomes No. 2 + No. 2 to 4. Therefore, the adaptation range of the ring,
In other words, the difference between the minimum size and the maximum size is about 4 to 8
No. 8 and can be worn on fingers of sizes No. 8 to 16. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the applicable range of the ring can be significantly increased as compared with the related art. Then, the applicable range of the ring can be freely adjusted by changing the area of the housing portion 16, that is, by changing the protrusion height T of the protrusion 14 or the number of protrusions.

Since the applicable range of the conventional ring is narrow, even if the size of the ring is slightly deviated from the size of the user's finger, there is a problem that it cannot be attached to the finger or is too loose and comes off. . Therefore, when purchasing a ring, the user has been forced to strictly select a ring that matches the size of his finger. However, according to the ring of the present embodiment, since the adaptation range is wide, even if the size of the finger is slightly deviated from the size of the ring, if it is included between the minimum size and the maximum size, Can be installed well. Therefore, the user does not need to strictly select the size of the ring when purchasing the ring, which facilitates the purchase.

Further, even if the size of the finger increases to some extent after purchasing the ring, if the size is within the maximum size, it is possible to guarantee good wearing of the ring as in the case of purchase.

Further, after the ring is purchased, if the size of the finger is significantly increased and exceeds the maximum size of the ring, one or a plurality of protruding portions 14 are deleted to increase the area of the housing portion 16 to increase the size of the ring. The maximum size can be easily expanded.
Therefore, it is not necessary to cut and rejoin the ring body 10 as in the conventional case, and the ring can be easily and inexpensively repaired. In addition, repairing does not impair the decorative effect of the ring. The size of the ring can be reduced by adding a new protrusion.

When the ring of the present embodiment is attached to a finger having a size larger than the minimum size, as described above, the ring is attached with the outer skin portion of the finger being partially pushed into the accommodating portion 16. That is, when viewed from the ring side, the protrusion 14 is attached to the finger while being pushed into the outer skin portion. Therefore, these protrusions 14 act to prevent the ring body 10 from rotating with respect to the finger. When a decorative portion such as jewelry or engraving is provided on the outer surface of the ring body 10, the above-mentioned protrusion 1
By the anti-rotation effect of 4, the decorative part is always on the back of the finger,
It is particularly effective because it can be positioned on the back side of the hand.

Usually, the joint part of the finger is thickest and it is difficult to pass the ring. However, according to the ring of the present embodiment, the outer skin portion can partially escape into the accommodating portion 16 when passing through the joint portion. Therefore, the ring can be easily attached to and removed from the finger without being caught by the joint.

As described above, when the applicable range of the ring is wide, one ring can be applied to a wide range of fingers, so that the seller of the ring does not need to prepare rings of all sizes as in the conventional case. . As a result, it is possible to reduce the number of stocks and the purchase cost. The manufacturer of the ring can also obtain the same advantages as above.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but can be variously modified within the scope of the present invention.

For example, in the above embodiment, the protrusion 14 is the ring body 1
Although it is made of the same material as that of No. 0, it may be made of a material different from that of the ring body and fixed to the ring body. For example, the protrusion made of gold may be fixed to the ring body made of platinum. In this case, the decorative effect of the ring can be improved.

As shown in FIG. 4, the plurality of protrusions 14 are provided in the ring main body 1
They may be arranged at different intervals along the circumferential direction of 0.

Moreover, as shown in FIG.
It may be concentrated on a part of the inner peripheral surface 15 of 0. In this case, the ring is preferably attached to the finger so that the protrusion 14 is located on the ventral side of the finger. The ventral part of the finger has the largest amount of subcutaneous fat and is easily deformed along the protrusion 14. Therefore, even if the protrusion height of the protrusion 14 is increased, the protrusion 14 can be favorably mounted without feeling uncomfortable.

The protrusions 14 do not have to have the same protrusion height, and may have different protrusion heights, as shown in FIG.

The shape of the projecting portion 14 is not limited to a conical shape, but can be variously modified, and each projecting portion may have a different shape. According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, each protrusion 14 has a substantially trapezoidal cross section and extends along the width direction of the ring body 10. Further, the protruding end surface of each protruding portion 14 is formed in an arc shape so as to fit the inner peripheral surface of the ring body 10 so that a good wearing feeling can be obtained. Further, a large number of grooves 18 are formed on the protruding end surface. These grooves 18 act as a non-slip, and the ring body 10 for the finger.
Can be prevented more reliably. Further, these grooves 18 also act as guide grooves for guiding the sweat secreted from the finger to the outside of the ring.

According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, each protrusion 14 has a semicircular cross section and extends in the width direction of the ring body 10.

The shape of the protruding portion 14 is not limited to the above-described geometrical shape, and may be a flower pattern, a coat of arms, or the like having a high decorative effect.

As shown in FIG. 9, the plurality of protrusions 14 may be formed continuously with each other. According to this embodiment, the protrusion 14 extends in a wave shape along the inner peripheral surface of the ring body 10. Even when such a protrusion 14 is used,
The same advantages as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

10 and 11 show a ring according to another embodiment of the present invention. According to this embodiment, the ring body 1
A plurality of recesses 18 spaced from each other along the circumferential direction are formed on the inner peripheral surface 15 defining the 0 inner hole 12.
The recesses 18 form the accommodating portion 16 that can partially receive the outer skin of the finger. These recesses 1
The reference numeral 8 extends along the axial direction of the ring body 10 and has a substantially trapezoidal cross section.

Then, this ring has a minimum size determined by the radius A of the inner hole 12, the area of the inner hole 12, and all the housing portions 16
Has a maximum size determined by the radius B of a circle having an area that is the sum of the areas and the reference size determined by a radius C intermediate between the radii A and B.

Also in the ring having the above structure, it is possible to obtain the same effect as that of the first embodiment described above. That is, since the ring includes the plurality of storage portions 16 formed by the recesses 18, it can be applied to all fingers included between the maximum size and the minimum size. . Then, the adaptive range of the ring can be easily adjusted by changing the volume of the housing portion, that is, by changing the number, depth, size, etc. of the recesses 18.

In addition, in this embodiment, the number, depth, and formation position of the recesses can be variously modified as necessary. Similarly, the recess 18
Any shape may be used as the shape as long as it can partially accept the outer skin portion of the finger.

In the various embodiments described above, the outer shape of the ring main body 10 is circular, but it is not limited to this, and various shapes such as a pentagon and an ellipse can be used.

(Effects of the Invention) As described in detail above, according to the ring of the present invention, a ring body having an inner hole into which a finger can be inserted, and an inner surface of the ring body defining the inner hole from the inner surface to the inner hole. And a plurality of protruding portions. The space between the adjacent protrusions forms a housing that can partially receive the outer skin of the finger inserted into the inner hole. Therefore, it is possible to provide a ring which can be adapted to fingers of a plurality of sizes and whose size can be easily corrected.
