FINGER-RING ATTAGHIMENT.
Application filed May 21,
1 0 all whom it may concern:
Be" it known that 1, Emma F. YOUNG, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Bay City, in the county of Bay and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Finger- Bing Attachments, of which the following is a specification. v
This invention relates to finger ring attachments and the like, and is especially adapted for use with rings which are provided with settings or embellishments of different natures.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a novel attachment which can be inserted in the interior of the ring after it is in place on the finger, to insure the setting revmaining in the proper upright position on the finger, and prevent the turning thereof.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, the present invention will be more particularly described in connection with the accompanying drawing, wherein like parts are referred to by like symbols of reference throughout the several views of the drawing, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the attachment shown in position in a ring.
Fig. 2 is a section thereof taken; on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged side elevation of the attachment.
Fig. 4 is an edge view thereof.
As illustrated inthe accompanying drawing, the attachment is designed to fit the interior surface of the ring, and is adapted to be inserted after the ring is in position on the finger. This is necessary owing to the fact that the knuckles of the finger (in many instances) determine the size of the ring which can be worn, that is, the size of the knuckle is ofttimes considerably larger than the finger above the knuckle where the ring is worn. Therefore, a ring that will slip over the knuckles will be loose and will slip and turn on the finger, and a filler or attachment of some nature must be inserted to make the ring snugly fit the finger. I am aware that there are a number of so called guards which are designed to prevent the ring turning or slipping off the finger, but these irritate the flesh and are otherwise unsatisfactory. My attachment can be cast as shown in the present instance, and can be formed of the rare metals of which the ring is made or it may Specification of Letters Patent. Pagbgntgfl J ne 21, 192
1920. Serial No. 383,645.
be formed of the baser metals and then plated as desired.
The attachment is designed to fit the interior surface of the ring and is adapted to ertcnd over approximately one half of the circumference.
Rings are of course made in a n'iimber of different shapes some being perfectly round, while the bottom of others are slightly V or heart shaped, also the width and thickness of the metal in the lower portion of the ring may vary considerably, some being flat and wide and others tapering to the bottom and still others being of a round design.
In the present instance I have shown the ringwith the lower portion fiat and wide, and which I have designated by the numeral 10, the attachment 11 being formed to fit the inner surface thereof. As illustrated in the drawing the attachment is formed relatively thick at the center thereof, tapering to a very thin point at the free ends 12, so that they will not irritate the fiesh of the finger, and also to prevent changing the shape of the upper part of the ring, or decreasing the horizontal diameter to any great extent. Formed integral with the attachment 10 are the downwardly projecting lips 13 which are adapted to straddle and fit over the edges of the ring 10 as clearly shown in 2. These rigidly secure the attachment in place, being of a depth equal to the thickness of the ring at the lower portion thereof tapering and vanishing at the free ends of the attachment.
es before stated, the attachment is adapted to be placed in position after the ring is in position on the finger, and as the attachment fits the lower interior surface of the ringwhich rests against the inner side or fleshy part of the finger, and it will be obvious that the flesh can be squeezed sufiiciently to allow the attachment to be inserted, and I wish to call attention to the fact that only the fleshy part of the finger will come in con tact with the attachment, and having no inwardly projecting portions will not irritate th finger in any manner whatsoever.
In practice these attachments will be made up in various sizes and shapes, and should one be found to be a trifle thick it is merely necessary to grind it down between the lips 13 until the ring fits properly.
From the foregoing description it will be obvious that I have perfected a simple and nun economical attachment for reducing the size of the opening in finger rings.
What I claim is 1. A finger ring attachment comprising an arcuate member having a thick center, the free ends tapering to a vanishing point at v substantially the horizontal axis of the ring, downwardly projecting lips integral thereclosely fit and straddle the interior surface of the ring, the center thereof being relatively thick, tapering and vanishing at the free ends, downwardly projecting lips integral therewith and of a depth equalto the thickness of the ring at the central portion thereef, the said lips tapering and vanishing at the free ends of the attachment.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature. 20

with adapted to straddle the ring and vanish 10 at the free ends of the attachment.
