FINGER-RING 1TH INTERCHANGEABLE SIGNET-TOP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 29, 191W.
Application filed May 4, 1916. Serial No. 95,393.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, Louis Lnrm, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at 33 West Fifty-first street, Bayonne, county of Hudson, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in linger-Rings with Interchangeable Signet- Tops, fully described and representd in the following specification and the accompanying drawings, forminga part of the same.
This invention relates to a ring having an initial Signet-top upon the head; and the object of the invention is to furnish a means of providing such a ring with a signet-top bearing any initial desired. 1
This I effect by forming the head of the ring with a seat adapted to receive and support a Signet-top, and providing aseries of interchangeable signet-tops bearing the various initial letters, so that the dealer in such rings may fit to the ring any of the signettops which bearythe right initial for a given purchaser.
The invention consists in forming the head of the ring with a seat to receive a sig net-top and with a bridge below such seat,
and providing the signet-top with a shank having an end fitted to secure in the bridge.
In the annexed drawing is illustrated a ring having an aperture extended through its head, and a dished bridge secured in the aperture with its edge below the margin of the head; whereby the margin forms a recess for a signet-top, and the edge of the bridge forms a seat for the same.
The bridge 'is perforated in the center, and the signet-tops are provided with a shank adapted to extend through the bridge, and having upon its inner end a bore or tongues to be expanded over the under side of the bridge to lock the Signet-top in place.
In the drawing, Figure 1. shows the head of the ring in readiness to receive the signettop; Fig. 2 shows the side of the ring with the signet-top inserted; Fig. 3 shows a signet-top bearing the letter D; Fig. 4 a signettop bearing the letter S; Fig. 5 is a longn tudinal section through the signet-top and the ring to which it is applied, with the shank of the signet-top extended through the bridge and its end made tubular to be easily expanded; Fig. (l'is a cross section of the ring showing the seat formed by the edge of the bridge and the end of the tubular shank expanded upon the inner side of the 7 bridge; Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the under side of the Signet-top, showing amodification with the shank split to form prongs for bending over the under side of the bridge; and Fig. 8 shows the under side of the signet-top with such a split shank.
Figs. 5 to 8 are enlarged greatly beyond the natural size.
a designates the body of the ring, and a the head having an aperture 0 extended through the same.
(Z is a bridge secured in -the aperture by solder or other means and having its edge fitted a little below the margin at the top: of the head as shown in Fig. 6, such edge forming a seat 0' to support the Signet top f.
The center of the bride is formed with a perforation g, and the Signet-top is formed with a shank h adapted to extend through the perforation in the bridge, and the end of the shank is formed, as shown in Fig. 5, with a bore 2', so as to be readily expanded or clenched upon the inner side of the bridge to lock the Signet-top permanently thereon, as shown in Fig. 6.
Such expansion or clenching can be done with any conical tool by manual pressure, thus enabling a dealer in such rings to secure any signet-top in the head of the ring without any material labor.
In Figs. 3 and a, two Signet-tops of an alpha )etical series are shown, the one in Fig. 3 bearing the initial D and that in Fig. 4t the initial S; and it obvious that a dealer could select any one of a series of such sig net-tops adapted to fit the seat e, and sccure the same in the ring without any ma terial labor or delay. A purchaser could thus be furnished with a ring bearing any desired initial, and without compelling the dealer to carry a large assortment of rings each having a diiferent initial signet-top permanently secured therein.
By this invention the dealer may supply any purchaser with an initial ring by carrying in stock only a. few of the rings and a suitable assortment of the desired initials.
The bridge (Z is shown dished in the drawing to siz'i'iulate upon. its under side the cutting of a seal gem, the under side of the bridge being brightly polished to present such an appearance.
Figs. '7 and 8 show the tubular end of the shank h split, so as to form tongues which may be readily bent over upon the inner side of the bridge instead of expanding the-bore of the shank.
It is apparent that all the signet-tops in the series must be provided with the shank h for securing any selected top on theseat of the ring.
Having thus set forth the nature of the invention What is claimed herein is:
1. A finger ring for receiving any one of a series of similar signet tops, the ring having an aperture extended through the same and a seat Within the aperture, a signet top fitted to the said seat and provided with a shank, a perforated bridge secured in the aperture to receive the said shank, said signet top being permanently secured upon the seat by the said shank and bridge.
2, A finger ring for receiving interchangeable signet tops, the ring having a head with an aperture through the same, and a dished bridge secured in the aperture forming a seat, a Signet-top fitted to the said seat and provided with an expansible shank, the bridge being provided with a perforation to receive the expansible shank and retain the signet-top permanently upon the seat when the end of the shank is expanded below the bridge.
3. A finger ring for receiving any one of a series of similar signet-tops, and having a head with an aperture through the same, a dished bridge secured in the aperture with its edge below the upper margin of the head to form a seat, said bridge having a perforation to receive a shank, and a signcttop fitted to the seat and having a shank with an expansible end extended \through the said perforation and expanded below the bridge to retain the Signet-top permanently on the seat.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
LOUIS LEI-IR.
