PATENT OFFICE CHARLES BIRNBAUM, OF N EW' YORK, N. Y.

RING SETTING Application filed June 9, 1928. Serial No. 284,146.

This invention relates to ring settings and more particularly to that type of ring setting which is pivotally connected to the mount so that it may be hinged to expose a picture 5 frame or other enclosure.

Heretofore in the manufacture of rings of this character it has been customary to assemble the setting and then solder a leaf of the hinge to the mount. This requires a high degree of skill in order that the setting may properly fit within the mount and be free to swing on its hinge. With my improved construction the setting or frame carrying the setting is hinged to a plate which fits within 5 the mount, the plate and the setting frame having aligned sleeves for the reception of a pintle so that the parts are insured an acurate assemblage by the mere insertion of the pintle after the parts are constructed and assembled so that there is no necessity for soldering the hinge and consequently there is no possibility of imperfect results.

lVit-h these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features 25 of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts which will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a view in section through a ring embodying my invention;

Figure 2 is a plan view of the ring with the setting swung outward;

Figure 3 is a plan view showing the three members of my improved setting which together form a complete series of sleeves to re ceive the pintle and hingedly connect them.

All of the views of the drawings are greatly exaggerated for purposes of illustration as it is of course to be understood that in the manufacture of the ring the parts illustrated will be very small.

1 represents the ring proper having an ob- Y long-shaped open mount 2 or which may be represents a plate which fits within the mount .Zand is secured therein in any approved manner, as, for example, by solder. 4 represents a picture frame and 5 a. settlng frame,.and this setting frame 5 may support a cameo, stone or other ornament 6.

The setting plate'3 at one edge is provided with a series of spaced sleeves 7 and the setting plate 5 is also provided with a series of sleeves 8 spaced apart. The picture frame 4 is provided at one edge with sleeves 9 spaced apart, and all of these

sleeves

7, 8 and 9 are disposed in alinement, as illustrated in F igure 2, with a pintle or pin 10 positioned in the sleeves so as to hingedly connect the several parts of the ring.

It is to be observed of course that the plate 3 is sufiiciently depressed to accommodate the picture frame 4 between the same and the setting plate 5, and the free edge of said setting plate is snapped into closed position by its engagement with the edge of mount 2, as clearly illustrated at 11.

My invention is directed particularly to the manner of hinging the setting to the ring mount, and by reason of this construction an absolute alinement and registration of the several parts is insured so that a perfect setting is had and the extremely difficult hinge soldering is entirely dispensed with.

Various changes and alterations might be made in the general form of the parts described without departing from my invention and hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set forth but consider myself at liberty to make suchchanges and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of, the appended claims.

I claim 1. In combination with a ring having a hollow mount, a plate secured in the mount, a setting, said plate and setting having alined sleeves at one edge, a pintle in said sleeves, and a picture frame located between the setting and the plate and having sleeves alining with the first mentioned sleeves and also receiving the pintle.

2. In combination with a ring having a hollow mount, a setting assemblage including a plate and a setting, the said setting and plate hingedly connected, said plate snugly fitting within the hollow mount and fixedly secured therein.

Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 25th day of May A. D. 1928.

CHARLES BIRNBAUM.
