3 Claims.
This invention relates to a locket-ring, particularly of the signet type and the like.
The salient feature of this invention, includes an upper ring member having an arcuated or semi-circular bottom ring portion adaptable to be inserted into the upper perforated portion of the lower ring member, whereat a plate or keeper member is inserted and secured into a press fit in the bifurcated tapered opening at the top thereof, thereby interlinking both ring members together, after which the upper ring is further inserted into the bifurcated opening of the lower ring, until the arcuated ring portion thereof becomes secured in a press fit into a similar arcuated grooved or recessed portion of the imperforated bottom portion of the lower ring member, whereof shoulder portions therewith provide a flush-like appearance of a onepiece ring.
Another salient feature of this invention, is the adaptation of a locket feature in the head portions of each ring where they are joined together, wherein a miniature picture, memoirs, engraving, or memos may be kept in a sealed manner.
A further salient feature of this invention, is the adaptability of mounting any desired insignia, emblem, coat-of-arms and mark, to be used as a seal or as otherwise desired, either, in an ornamental design, or in a structural form.
Other features of this invention, will appear as the description proceeds in the following specification, accompanied by the annexed drawing, in which Figure 1 shows on a double size scale, the front elevation of the locket-ring of this invention;
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same locketring;
Figure 3 is a plan view of the same ring as shown in Figure 1;
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Figure 2, showing the two individual rings interlocked in their sealed position;
Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view taken on line 5-5 of Figure 1;
Figure 6 shows extended positions of the upper and lower ring members, whereat the locket portion becomes visible, or accessible thereto;
Figure 7 shows exploded views of the upper and lower ring members and their locking member;
Figure 8 shows cross-sectional views of the same exploded views shown in Figure 7;
Figure 9 is a transverse sectional view on line 99 of Figure 6.
Figure 10 shows an alternative form of the upper ring member.
Referring to the drawing, the numeral Ill designates the upper ring member, and l I the lower ring member, both of which are firmly interlocked or interlinked by the member I2, the member I2 and the mount portion M of the upper ring member to, forming an inner chamber or locket portion l5, when both rings are in their interlocked and closed positions, as shown in Figures 4 and 5. When the upper ring I0 is telescoped from or lifted up as shown in Figure 6, the inner chamber or locket portion l5 be comes accessible thereto, in which a picture, or any other object |5a placed therewith, becomes visible.
In Figures 7 and 8, the exploded views show separately the upper and lower ring members I0 and II, respectively, whereof the upper ring I0 is telescoped or lowered sufficiently into the lower ring II, after which the member I2 is pressed and secured into the slightly tapered opening or notches N3 of the table mount IQ of the lower ring ll, thereby interlocking both of ring members l0 and II, shown clearly in Figure 6. The upper ring is then lowered further until the arcuated ring portion l6 engages a similar arcuated and imperforated bottom portion 20 of the lower ring ll having a corresponding groove or recessed portion 2| that cooperates with the ring portion iii in a flush-like manner onto the seat portions 22 by the shoulder portions 22, as shown in Figure 4.
It is to be seen that when the upper ring'lll is telescoped in its closed or seated position, the exterior ornamental and structural formations of the table mount IQ of the lower ring II and the head mount 14 of the upper ring H], are joined together in a flush-like manner, thereby becoming apparently invisible, therefore, a single form of a signet ring is obvious or effected.
The table mount IQ of the lower ring I l is finished in any suitable manner to provide a sealed joint with the corresponding rim portions 24, 24' of the head mounts l4 and M, respectively, of the upper ring l0, when superimposed onto the table mount l9 and the locking member or keeper I2.
The head mount l4 may be provided with any suitable object, engraving or mark, or with a seal or insignia, for example, the coast artillery insignia is shown as noted in Figure 3. However, any suitable head mount may be used for any desired type of rings or bracelets, and the like, such and slide in alignment and parallel relation, the, shank portions 3| and the arcuated ring portion E6 of the upper ring member 10 into cooperation with the corresponding arcuated grooved portion 2| of the lower ring member II which, together with table head I9, member I2, and mount heads 11 l4 and 14, provides a firm, rigid and durable assembly.
It is to be understood that means, otherthan shown in the drawing and hereinbefore described in the specification, may be adopted, providing they come within the spirit of this invention and the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, of the United States, is as follows: I i
i. In a signet-locket ring of the character described, including upper and lower ring members interlocked with each other in a flush-like and firm manner, said upper ring member having a bottom arcuated ring portion precisely and firmly secured into a grooved or recessed portion of an imperforated bottom half portion of said lower ring member, said ring members interlocked and interlinked with each other by means of a locking plate or keeper secured into notch portions of a bifurcated top table head portion of said outer member, said locking plate or keeper being interposed, between the bottom ring portion of said upper ring member and the head mount portion arranged onto shank portions of said lower ring member, whereat a sealed locket chamber is provided therewith.
2. In a signet-locket ring of the character de scribed, including a pair of ring members adapted to be slidable into each other in a flush-like manher, one of said ring members having an imperforated grooved bottom half portion terminating into bifurcated upper half ring portions having tapered notch portions providing a table head mount, the other ring member having a bottom half ring portion terminating into upper half ring shank portions having a head mount thereon, said ring member having the bottom half ring portion adapted to be inserted into said bifurcated upper half portions, whereat a locking plate or keeper is secured into said tapered notch portions and table head mount, thereby interlocking and interlinking said ring members together, said bottom half ring portion adapted to be further inserted into said imperforated grooved bottom half portion, in which a shoulder joint is formed between said upper and bottom half portions of said ring members when the head mount is superimposed onto said table mount and locking plate or keeper, whereby between a sealed chamber is provided therewith.
' 3. In a Signet-locket ring of the character describedincluding an upper and lower ring members, said lower ring member having an imperforated arcuate grooved bottom portion and shoulder joining portions extendinginto bifurcated upper half portions provided with tapered notch portions at the top table mount portion thereof, said upper ring member having an arouated bottom ring portion connecting to upper shank portions, said arcuated bottom ring portion adapted to be partiallyinserted downwardly into said bifurcated upper portions, a locking plate or keeper pressed and firmly secured into said tapered notch portions, thereby interlinking said ring members together, said arcuated bottom ring portion adapted to be further inserted downwardly through saidbifurcatedupper half portions, whereby said arcuated ring portion is pressed firmly into said arcuated. grooved bottom portion of said lower ring in a flush-like manner, the upper end portions of said shank portions interposing in between said bifurcated upper half portions also in a flush-like manner, said upper end portions of said shank portions adapted to have a head mount, whereby, an inner sealed chamber is provided above said locking plate or keeper secured into said bifurcated notch portions of said top table mount, whereon any suitable feature or object, such as a seal, or insignia, and the like, may be suitable mounted thereon, said inner chamber under said head mount adaptable to be used as a locket for concealing a miniature picture, memoirs, engraving, memos, and the like.
