ATTORNEY.
Patented Feb. 17, 1942 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE BOX STRUCTURE GEM MOUNTING Joseph Simmons, Cincinnati, Ohio Application July 23, 1941, Serial No. 403,651
3 Claims.
This invention relates to a means for mounting a gem in an article of personal adornment to enhance the appearance of the size of the gem.
I have so constructed my box structure that the reflected light rays are deflected, whereby the light deflecting insert from casual observation appears to be part of the gem through the deflection of the light rays striking the serrated faces of the insert.
The object of my invention is to provide a box structure gem mounting with a member having radiating serrated faces sloping downwardly from the gem.
A further object is to provide the member with a gem aperture utilizing the points of the serrated face adjacent to the aperture to hold the gem in place.
A further object is to mount the member in a bezel, whereby the combined unit forms a box structure which may be attached to a finger ring or other article of jewelry.
Further objects will be apparent as the description progresses, and my invention will be further readily understood from the following description and claims and from the drawings, in which latter:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a finger ring with my improved box structure thereon.
Fig. 2 is a detail section of the same, taken in the plane of the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the bezel.
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the insert, without the gem.
Fig. 5 is a detail section, similar to Fig. 2, showing a modified construction.
Fig. 6 is a similar detail section, showing a further modification.
Fig. 7 is a similar detail section, showing a still further modification.
Fig. 8 is a plan view of the improvement mounted on a ladys ring.
Fig. 9 is a side view of the same, partly broken away.
Fig. 10 is a perspective view of a joined bezels, and;
Fig. 11 is a side view of plurality of attached inserts.
My improved mounting for a finger ring ll plurality of or other article of personal adornment is primarily based on the construction of the insert l2, which may be suitably attached to the bezel l3 or be a part thereof, forming a box structure which can be suitably secured to a finger ring or other article in the usual manner.
The insert I2 is provided with a central opening M to receive the gem IS. The upper face [6 of the insert tapers away from the opening. This upper face is provided with a plurality of serrations l1 radiating from the center of the insert.
I prefer to make the insert of a metal that will take a high polish and of a color to substantially match the color of the gem.
The opening I4 is tapered to support the gem and the inner points l8 of the serrations I! are pinched over the gem to hold the gem in place. Due to the plurality of minute points so pinched, the maximum portion of the gem is exposed.
In Figs. 1 to 4 I have shown the insert I2 provided with a rabbet 20 and downwardly extending flanges 2| which are suitably secured to the lower matching face 22 of the bezel l3.
In Fig. 5 the insert I I2 is mounted in the bezel by the flange 23 engaging the lower face 24 of the bezel H3.
In Fig. 6 the insert 2|2 is shown as part of the bezel 2l3 being integral therewith.
If desired the insert 3l2 may rest on a flange 25 of the bezel 3I3, as shown in Fig. '7, being inserted from the top and suitably secured therein.
Figs. 8 and 9 show a modified form, wherein the insert 4| 2 is circular and supported in the bezel 3, which has ornamental prongs 26 thereon. Such a construction may be used for ladies rings or other articles of adornment.
In Figs. 10 and 11, I have shown a series of attached inserts M2 and a bezel 5|3 for the same, in which case the inserts are part of a plate 21 and the bezel 5|3 is provided with openings 28 to be received over the inserts.
In the various modifications similar parts are indicated by similar reference numerals raised to the series I00 in each instance.
With my improved box structure, the rays of light striking the downwardly sloping serrated faces of the insert are deflected away from the gem creating a diffusion of the reflected light rays that greatly enhances the gem size and due to the minute fastening means the insert appears to be a part of the gem.
I prefer to construct the box structure in two parts to facilitate polishing the entire surfaces of the serrations and then securing the insert in the bezel to form an integral unit which can be attached by solder or other means to the article.
While I have shown the box structure as a square or circular design, it will be apparent that the box structure may be made in various other shapes without departing from the scope of my invention.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A box structure gem mounting comprising a bezel provided with an inwardly extending flange, a member provided with a central opening, the upper face of said member sloping downwardly from said opening, said face provided with serrations radiating from the center of said opening to provide light deflecting surfaces and said member secured to said flange.
2. A box structure gem mounting comprising a bezel, an insert provided with a marginal flange and an opening, a gem received in said opening, the face of said insert tapering downwardly from said opening, said face provided with light defleeting surfaces, and said bezel extending over said marginal flange of said insert.
3. A box structure gem mounting comprising a bezel provided with an inwardly extending flange, an insert secured in said bezel against said flange and provided with a central opening, the upper face of said insert sloping downwardly from said opening, said face provided with serrations radiating from the center of said opening to provide light deflecting surfaces, and a gem in said opening secured by the points of the serrations adjacent to said opening.
