INITIAL AND BOX STRUCTURE FOR JEWELRY 7 Filed April 4, 1939 INVENTOR Jbgeph 817117710215 ATTORNEYS Patented Oct. 17, 1939 imrrsn srArss PATENT INITIAL AND BOX STRUCTURE FOR JEWELRY Joseph Simmons, Ozone Park, N. Y.
Application April 4, 1939, Serial No. 266,017
3 Claims.
-35 be readily applied and removed without the use of solder and which when applied will appear as a permanent part of the article of jewelry.
Another object of the invention is to provide a box for a removable letter or other configuration, the box being adapted to be used in connection with a ring, bracelet, or other article of jewelry.
A further object, more specifically, is to provide a box which may be rectangular, oval, or other shape and a letter having the outside part of the same shape as the box, the box and letter having interlocking means for removably securing the letter in the box.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a perspective View of a ring provided 20 with a box structure disclosing certain features of the invention;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a letter adapted to be placed in the box structure of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a sectional view through Fig. 1 ap- 25 proximately on the line 33, the letter being shown mounted in place;
Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3 but showing the box structure made separate from the ring body;
Fig. 5 is a top plan view of the box shown in Fig. 4;
Fig. 6 is a View similar to Fig. 5 but showing a slightly modified construction;
Fig. 7 is a plan view of part of a bracelet formed of improved boxes similar to that shown in Fig. 5 and letters similar to that shown in Fig. 2 together with standard connecting links.
Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, l indicates an article of jewelry which is shown as a ring, but it will be evident that the invention may be applied to other articles of jewelry without departing from the spirit of the invention. In this form of the invention, the box 2 is integral with the ring and is provided with an inwardly extending flange 3 provided with enlargements 4 and 5 having apertures 6 and l.
The flange 3 defines an opening 8 to allow light to strike the bottom of the letter 9 and anything protruding through the letter. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the letter 9 is provided with a number of diamonds I 0 which extend entirely through the body ll of the letter. A pair of threaded members or screws I2 and G3 are integral with or rigidly secured to the body I I and are positioned to extend through the respective apertures 6 and l. Suitable nuts M are adapted to be screwed on to the screw members l2 and l3 so as to clamp the body II in functioning position, as shown in Fig. 3. These nuts may be round or other shape so as to receive a wrench or other tool. In addition,
the respective nuts I4 are provided with grooves l5 to receive a screw driver whereby they may be quickly screwed into position or unscrewed as desired.
If someone should desire to purchase the ring shown in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, but wished a different letter, the salesman could quickly and easily remove the letter B, as shown in Fig. 2, and substitute the desired letter. It would not require a jeweler to accomplish this result as an ordinary salesman could readily take care of this service and the purchaser would have the ring and letter which he desired.
In Fig. 4 the ring I is provided with the usual opening 5 and also with a shoulder l1 against which the box I8 rests. This box may be held in place by friction or, if desired, a drop of solder could be provided to prevent any accidental removal thereof. Aside from the box l8 being removable, it presents the same structure as shown in Figs. 1 and 3.
The box IE is illustrated in top plan in Fig. 5. In this figure it is shown as rectangular with the opening Ssufficiently large to readily expose to view the various diamonds or other precious stones In. It is necessary to allow a certain amount of light to strike the under surface of the diamonds as Well as the upper surface in order to secure the best results. By forming a box as described ample light is provided for the inner surface of the diamonds as well as the upper surface.
In Fig. 6 the same physical structure as far as the invention is concerned is presented except that the box 16 in this figure is oval. In Fig. 5 the wall I9 is rectangular while in Fig. 6 the wall 20 is oval. The perimeter of the letter 9, as shown in Fig. 2, must be rectangular and of the proper size to fit within the wall ill of Fig. 5 so that the letter will rest on the inwardly extending flange 3. In the form shown in Fig. 6 the letter would naturally be oval but would be provided with screw members 12 and I3 in the same relative position so that they may pass through the respective apertures 6 and 1 in this form of the box.
It will be evident that other forms of box may be provided without departing from the spirit of the invention provided they all present a large open space 8, inwardly extending flange 3 and apertured enlargements 4 and 5.
In Fig. 7 a plan view of part of a bracelet is shown wherein square boxes 16" are used. Each of these boxes is provided with a pair of loops 2| on each of two edges and these loops are adapted to be connected by suitable links 22.
In the various views of the drawing, the letters have been shown as being provided with precious stones but it will be evident that stones may be used or eliminated as desired. By reason of the open space 8 the box is particularly adapted to display to advantage letters, numbers, or other configurations having diamonds mounted therein.
While the box has been shown in connection with a ring and a bracelet only, it will be understood that it could be used in connection with a brooch or other article of jewelry without departing from the spirit of the invention. Also in forming the letters the outer edge or perimeter is adapted to engage either wall l9 or 20, as the case may be, for most of its surface Whereby a pleasing appearance is produced and one wherein the letter remains firmly in place even though it is only held in place by the respective nuts 14.
I claim:
1. An initial and box structure for jewelry comprising a box structure having an opening therein and an inwardly extending flange projecting into said opening, said flange having at f diametrically opposite points apertured enlargements, and an initial member formed to fit into said opening and rest on said flange, said initial member having retaining members extending from diametrically opposite points positioned to extend through the apertures in said apertured enlargements for removably securing the initial to the box.
2. An initial and box structure for jewelry comprising a box structure having an opening therein and an inwardly extending flange projecting into said opening, said flange having a plurality of apertured enlargements, and an initial member formed to fit snugly into said opening and rest on said flange, said initial member having threaded retaining members extending through said apertured enlargements and nuts removably positioned on said threaded members for removably locking said initial in functioning position.
3. An article of jewelry having a body With an aperture extending therethrough and formed with a shoulder surrounding said aperture, a box resting on said shoulder, said box having an inturned flange provided with a plurality of apertures, and an initial member resting on said flange, said initial being provided with retaining means extending through the apertures in said flange for securing the initial member to the box.
