Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/453,403 filed on Mar. 16, 2011 and U.S. application Ser. No. 13/422,879 filed on Mar. 16, 2012. The applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- The present invention relates to the field of jewelry and more particularly to a specific modular system used exclusively for creating a specific modular ring apparatus disclosed herein.
- Personalized military rings are known in the art and typically have one or more customizable aspects with the level of customization varying for different manufacturers and for varying styles of rings. For example, some jewelers offer school-style U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marines, and U.S. Coast Guard rings. After the individual selects the military branch, he or she then selects a ring style (e.g., rectangle or oval). The individual then selects a side panel for each side of the ring. For example, if the individual selects the U.S. Army, side panel options include 1st Infantry, 82nd Airborne, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 18th MP Brigade. Other customizable aspects include stone color (e.g., birthstone), metal quality, wording around the stone, and inside engraving (e.g., name or initials). The school-style type military rings offered by these jewelers and many other manufactures are not desirable because they generally look gaudy and cheap.
- Further, other ring designers offer U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, and U.S. Merchant Marine Classic Military Rings. The Classic Military Rings are solid metal and are designed to look cleaner and higher-end than the school-style military ring. The customization of these rings, however, is limited and the individual can select only a single insignia to be displayed. For example, for U.S. Army, the individual may select an insignia from the following types: traditional insignia (e.g., Army, Army National Guard, Army Vietnam, Army Reserve), historic insignia (e.g., Army Air Force, Women's Army Corps, Army Security Agency), special forces insignia (e.g., Army Ranger, Special Forces), badges/medals insignia (e.g., Drill Sergeant, Combat Medic, Parachutist), branch and command insignia (e.g., Cavalry, Army JAG Corps, Army Engineer, Military Police Corps), rank insignia (e.g., Army Staff Sergeant, Army Colonel), division/brigade/regiment combat team insignia (e.g., 1st Cavalry Division, 25th Infantry Division), or POW/MIA insignia. The only other customizable aspects of the ring are the metal choice and a diamond option. These rings are not desirable because they are capable of displaying only a single insignia.
- Therefore, it is desirable to have military service ring having a plurality of customizable aspects and interchangeable insignia.
- Further, it is desirable to have a military service ring that is commemorative.
- Moreover, it is desirable to have a high-end customizable military service ring capable of displaying more than one insignia and/or pieces of information.
- As used herein, the term “interchangeable” means any removable component which structurally conformed or subject to specifications to enable it to be replaced.
- As used herein, the term “modular” means comprised of removable and attachable parts which may be substituted during manufacturing or by an end user.
- As used herein, the term “plate” means any structure capable of displaying any ornamentation or indicia.
- As used herein, the term “recess” means any identifiable geometric surface variation.
- As used herein, the terms “securing” or “securely” mean any geometric or physical characteristic which facilitates coupling, mounting, affixation, selective attachment or permanent attachment.
- The present invention is a modular ring apparatus and system solely for creating a specifically identified custom military service ring. The modular ring apparatus includes a circular ring body, an upper indicia display plate, and at least one side indicia display plate. The circular ring body includes a flat upper surface to which a corresponding upper indicia display plate is attached by means of an interconnecting post-and-aperture assembly. The upper indicia display plate is smaller than the flat upper surface. The circular ring body also includes at least one side recess to which at least one corresponding side indicia display plate is attached by means of another interconnecting post-and-aperture assembly. The system may include additional upper indicia display plates and additional side indicia display plates.
