Definitions
- the present invention relates to items of jewelry to wear on the finger.
- Patent 804 A.D. 1909 discloses an item of jewelry comprising a plurality of bands to be fitted on one and the same finger and connected together by two chains positioned on the sides. The bands are worn on the first and second phalanges.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,107,947 describes an item of jewelry comprising a band intended to be fitted on the first phalanx, connected by a chain to a mount arranged to be secured on the nail.
- a ring having an open band, the band carrying a decorative element at each of its extremities, is known from application EP 1 745 714 A1.
- the opening of this type of ring is obtained by torsion and offsetting of the two extremities.
- a disadvantage of this type of ring is the risk of loss when the opening of the band is large and when the ring turns relative to the finger, for example, because of the activity of the person wearing it.
- the invention proposes to respond to this need, and it achieves this thanks to an item of jewelry to wear on the finger, comprising:
- sliding link should be understood to denote a link permitting a degree of axial freedom along the latter.
- the sliding link may exhibit a sliding clearance allowing a certain angular movement between the elements which slide.
- the sliding link permits the two rings to be kept on the finger by preventing the rotation of one in relation to the other.
- the two rings thus possess little possibility for rotational movement in relation to one another, and the correct support of one ring on the finger brings about that of the other ring through the effect of the sliding link.
- the sliding link also makes it possible for the distance between the two rings to be capable of varying freely in such a way, on the one hand, as to adapt the item of jewelry to the size of the finger and, on the other hand, as to permit the finger to move freely.
- the sliding link connects the first ring and the second ring together via the underside of the finger.
- This sliding link is preferably single.
- the sliding link is preferably not flexible. This makes it possible to immobilize the rings in relation to each other outside the axial mobility provided by the sliding link. The rings are thus not able to turn or to become detached from the finger independently of one another.
- the bands of the rings and optionally the sliding link are made from the same material.
- the greatest length L max of the sliding link at its maximum extension may be between 20 mm and 50 mm, preferably between 25 mm and 35 mm, and its smallest length L min at its minimum extension may be between 10 mm and 40 mm, preferably between 20 mm and 30 mm.
- the sliding link comprising a slide and a slider, the slider sliding in the slide in the longitudinal axis of the slide, the latter being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the finger wearing the item of jewelry.
- the first ring may be secured on the slide, in particular at one extremity of the slide, and the second ring may be secured to the slider, in particular to the free extremity of the slider, that is to say the extremity of the slider remaining outside the slide.
- the sliding of the slider in the slide is free.
- the slide may comprise two parallel bars connected by a bridge defining an opening for guiding the slider.
- the sliding link is duplicated by an articulation allowing the wearer to bend his/her finger when the item of jewelry is being worn on the latter.
- the slider comprises a first part and a second part connected together by an articulation, the first part being inserted into the slide and the second part carrying the second ring.
- the articulation makes it possible to bend the second part in order to form an elbow between the first and the second part, such that the underside of the second ring folds towards the underside of the first ring.
- a suchlike articulation makes it possible, in particular when the articulation is below the junction between the phalanges, to follow the movement of the finger when it is bent.
- the item of jewelry may comprise a third ring connected to the two other rings by the sliding link.
- the third ring may be secured to the slide, in particular to the other extremity of the slide.
- the third ring is secured in relation to the first ring but remains mobile in relation to the second ring.
- the item of jewelry may comprise a fourth ring connected to the other rings by the sliding link.
- the fourth ring may be secured to the slider, in particular to the second part of the slider in proximity to the articulation.
- At least one of the rings, and preferably each of the rings, comprises an open band to wear on the finger and a decorative element secured on the corresponding band.
- At least one of the rings may benefit from the support offered by the finger adjacent to that finger on which it is fitted, when the decorative element is situated on the ring in such a way as to partially overlap both the finger which is wearing the ring and the adjacent finger.
- the width of opening of the bands is preferably sufficient to permit placing on the finger laterally. This avoids the need to slide the finger into the band, as is the case with a closed ring. The fitting of the item of jewelry on the finger may thus be performed easily.
- each of the bands of the first and second rings is situated on the upper side of said rings.
- the invention makes it possible to have very open bands, and therefore to make an item of jewelry particularly aesthetically appealing, for example by allowing essentially only the decorative elements that are carried by each of the bands to be perceived visually on the upper side of the hand.
- the angular width of each of the openings of the bands of the first and second rings is preferably between 25° and 130°, preferably between 30° and 120°, preferably being sufficient to permit the engagement of the item of jewelry on the finger from the side, as indicated above.
- the bands preferably each extend in a plane, preferably a median plane of symmetry for the band.
- the extremities of the band may not be offset in the axis of the band.
- the bands are preferably made of metal, in particular yellow, white, rose or black gold, platinum, steel, titanium or silver.
- the first ring and the second ring are preferably of different diameters in order to permit the correct placement of the rings on the first phalanx and the second phalanx of the finger.
- the first ring and the third ring, and respectively the second ring and the fourth ring, may be of the same diameter.
- Each ring preferably caries a decorative element set on a mount, the decorative element possibly being unique and being secured to the band, in particular at one extremity of the open band.
- This decorative element may be a semi-precious stone, a pearl and/or a precious stone, in particular a diamond, ruby, sapphire or emerald.

Abstract
The invention relates to an item of jewelery (10) to wear on the finger (D), comprising: a first ring (20; 30) to be placed over the finger (D); a second ring (40) to be placed over the same finger (D); and a sliding link (50) connecting the first ring (20; 30) and the second ring (40) together.
Description
- The present invention relates to items of jewelry to wear on the finger.
- Patent 804 A.D. 1909 discloses an item of jewelry comprising a plurality of bands to be fitted on one and the same finger and connected together by two chains positioned on the sides. The bands are worn on the first and second phalanges.
- Other known items of jewelry propose to embellish the nail and comprise two rings for this purpose, as illustrated in French patent 537 670, one of which rings is worn on the first phalanx and the other at the end of the finger, the two being connected by a chain.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,107,947 describes an item of jewelry comprising a band intended to be fitted on the first phalanx, connected by a chain to a mount arranged to be secured on the nail.
- A ring having an open band, the band carrying a decorative element at each of its extremities, is known from application EP 1 745 714 A1. The opening of this type of ring is obtained by torsion and offsetting of the two extremities. A disadvantage of this type of ring is the risk of loss when the opening of the band is large and when the ring turns relative to the finger, for example, because of the activity of the person wearing it.
- Also known from application WO 2014083537 is an item of jewelry exhibiting two rings having open bands, carrying a decorative element and connected together by a flexible link.
- A need exists to be able to benefit from an item of jewelry offering novel aesthetic possibilities making it possible to wear, on one finger, two rings that are connected together while continuing to ensure wearing comfort and while limiting the risk of the undesirable displacement of the rings on the finger.
- The invention proposes to respond to this need, and it achieves this thanks to an item of jewelry to wear on the finger, comprising:
-
- a first ring to wear on the finger,
- a second ring to wear on the same finger,
- a sliding link connecting the first ring and the second ring together.
- The expression “sliding link” should be understood to denote a link permitting a degree of axial freedom along the latter. The sliding link may exhibit a sliding clearance allowing a certain angular movement between the elements which slide.
- The sliding link permits the two rings to be kept on the finger by preventing the rotation of one in relation to the other. The two rings thus possess little possibility for rotational movement in relation to one another, and the correct support of one ring on the finger brings about that of the other ring through the effect of the sliding link.
- The sliding link also makes it possible for the distance between the two rings to be capable of varying freely in such a way, on the one hand, as to adapt the item of jewelry to the size of the finger and, on the other hand, as to permit the finger to move freely.
- Preferably, the sliding link connects the first ring and the second ring together via the underside of the finger. Thus, it is invisible when the hand is viewed from above, which does not have an adverse effect on the aesthetics of the item of jewelry. This sliding link is preferably single.
- The sliding link is preferably not flexible. This makes it possible to immobilize the rings in relation to each other outside the axial mobility provided by the sliding link. The rings are thus not able to turn or to become detached from the finger independently of one another.
- Preferably, the bands of the rings and optionally the sliding link are made from the same material.
- The greatest length Lmax of the sliding link at its maximum extension may be between 20 mm and 50 mm, preferably between 25 mm and 35 mm, and its smallest length Lmin at its minimum extension may be between 10 mm and 40 mm, preferably between 20 mm and 30 mm.
- Preferably, the sliding link comprising a slide and a slider, the slider sliding in the slide in the longitudinal axis of the slide, the latter being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the finger wearing the item of jewelry. The first ring may be secured on the slide, in particular at one extremity of the slide, and the second ring may be secured to the slider, in particular to the free extremity of the slider, that is to say the extremity of the slider remaining outside the slide.
- Preferably, the sliding of the slider in the slide is free.
- The slide may comprise two parallel bars connected by a bridge defining an opening for guiding the slider.
- Preferably, the sliding link is duplicated by an articulation allowing the wearer to bend his/her finger when the item of jewelry is being worn on the latter. Preferably, the slider comprises a first part and a second part connected together by an articulation, the first part being inserted into the slide and the second part carrying the second ring. The articulation makes it possible to bend the second part in order to form an elbow between the first and the second part, such that the underside of the second ring folds towards the underside of the first ring. A suchlike articulation makes it possible, in particular when the articulation is below the junction between the phalanges, to follow the movement of the finger when it is bent. Thus, when the wearer bends his/her finger wearing the item of jewelry, the latter bends at its articulation and the slider slides in the slide at the same time as the finger bends. The combination of these two movements permits the wearer to bend his/her finger easily without obstruction.
- The item of jewelry may comprise a third ring connected to the two other rings by the sliding link. The third ring may be secured to the slide, in particular to the other extremity of the slide. Thus, the third ring is secured in relation to the first ring but remains mobile in relation to the second ring.
- The item of jewelry may comprise a fourth ring connected to the other rings by the sliding link. The fourth ring may be secured to the slider, in particular to the second part of the slider in proximity to the articulation.
- Preferably, at least one of the rings, and preferably each of the rings, comprises an open band to wear on the finger and a decorative element secured on the corresponding band.
- At least one of the rings, in particular the first or the third ring, may benefit from the support offered by the finger adjacent to that finger on which it is fitted, when the decorative element is situated on the ring in such a way as to partially overlap both the finger which is wearing the ring and the adjacent finger.
- The width of opening of the bands is preferably sufficient to permit placing on the finger laterally. This avoids the need to slide the finger into the band, as is the case with a closed ring. The fitting of the item of jewelry on the finger may thus be performed easily.
- Preferably, the opening of each of the bands of the first and second rings is situated on the upper side of said rings.
- The invention makes it possible to have very open bands, and therefore to make an item of jewelry particularly aesthetically appealing, for example by allowing essentially only the decorative elements that are carried by each of the bands to be perceived visually on the upper side of the hand.
- The angular width of each of the openings of the bands of the first and second rings is preferably between 25° and 130°, preferably between 30° and 120°, preferably being sufficient to permit the engagement of the item of jewelry on the finger from the side, as indicated above.
- The bands preferably each extend in a plane, preferably a median plane of symmetry for the band. Thus, the extremities of the band may not be offset in the axis of the band.
- The bands are preferably made of metal, in particular yellow, white, rose or black gold, platinum, steel, titanium or silver.
- The first ring and the second ring are preferably of different diameters in order to permit the correct placement of the rings on the first phalanx and the second phalanx of the finger.
- The first ring and the third ring, and respectively the second ring and the fourth ring, may be of the same diameter.
- Each ring preferably caries a decorative element set on a mount, the decorative element possibly being unique and being secured to the band, in particular at one extremity of the open band. This decorative element may be a semi-precious stone, a pearl and/or a precious stone, in particular a diamond, ruby, sapphire or emerald. The rings may carry decorative elements of similar kinds, for example diamonds or pearls of equal or different sizes.
- The rings may carry decorative elements of different kinds, for example stones and pearls, of equal or different sizes.
- In an example of the implementation of the invention, the mount, and preferably the mounts, are each cantilevered on the external side of the one or more bands of each ring. This cantilever mounting makes it possible, with regard to the first ring and the third ring intended to be fitted on the first phalanx, to benefit from the support offered by the finger adjacent to that finger wearing the item of jewelry. The cantilever mounting of the decorative elements may also contribute to the aesthetically appealing aspect, by permitting the decorative elements to be moved apart from one another, if this is desired, and to the practical aspect by leaving the opening of the bands sufficiently free to permit the fitting of the item of jewelry on the finger from the side.
- When the rings each carry a decorative element, these decorative elements may or may not be disposed in opposition to one another.
- The bands of the rings and/or the sliding link may comprise additional decorative elements distributed on at least one part of their surface, in particular their visible surface, when the item of jewelry is being worn on the finger, in particular small semi-precious stones, pearls and/or precious stones, in particular diamonds, rubies, sapphires or emeralds.
- Each ring may comprise a simple band or, as a variant, multiple bands, in particular two bands. In this case, the bands of one and the same ring are preferably identical and may be linked by a bar positioned on the underside, the sliding link preferably being in continuation of said bar. The bar may be a portion of the slide or of the slider. The bars are preferably made from the same material as the bands.

slider 54 sliding freely on an axis X in aslide 55. Theslide 55 comprises twoparallel bars slider 54. - A bridge 55 b connects the
bars 55 a directly below thering 30 in order to define anopening 55 c for guiding theslider 54. The latter is prevented from becoming disengaged from the opening by anabutment 59 formed at its extremity. - The
slider 54 is of non-circular section, as is theopening 55 c, as can be seen inFIG. 2 , which prevents rotation of theslider 54 about its axis. - The
slide 55 connects therings bands slide 55. The distance between therings ring 40 is secured to thefree extremity 57 of theslider 54. Thus, the distance between therings ring 40 may vary. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 4 and 5 , theslider 54 may slide in theslide 55 from a position of maximum extension Lmax to a position of minimum extension Lmin, the length of the sliding link being measured between thefree extremity 56 of theslide 55 and thefree extremity 57 of theslider 54. Preferably, the minimum length Lmin is between 10 mm and 40 mm, preferably between 20 mm and 30 mm, and the maximum length Lmax is between 10 mm and 40 mm, preferably between 20 mm and 30 mm. In the example illustrated here, the minimum length Lmin is substantially equal to 23 mm, and the maximum length Lmax is substantially equal to 32 mm. - The
slide 55 may comprise anabutment 58, against which theslider 54 comes into contact when the length of the slidinglink 50 is at its minimum. - As illustrated in

Thepart 54 a is inserted into theslide 55 and is displaced in the latter, and thepart 54 b is connected to thering 40. Thearticulation 59 makes it possible to fold the underside of thering 40 towards the underside of therings - The
abutment 58 is positioned in such a way that, when the extension of the sliding link is minimal, that is to say when thepart 54 a comes into contact with theabutment 58, thearticulation 59 remains outside theslide 55, as can be seen inFIG. 5 . - When the item of
jewelry 10 is being worn on the finger D, as illustrated inFIGS. 7 and 8 , therings ring 40 is positioned on a second phalanx P2. Thearticulation 59 moves into position beneath the junction J between the two phalanges P1 and P2 wearing the item ofjewelry 10, in such a way that the item ofjewelry 10 is able to bend with the finger D that is wearing it. - In the example illustrated here, the
mounts mount 24 carried by thering 20 is situated on the left side, for example, whereas themount 34 carried by thering 30 is situated on the right side, and themounts bands - The
