ROBERT J. LA GRANGE, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
FINGER, SCARF, AND OTHER JEWELRY RINGS.
EPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 257,023, dated April 25, 1882.
Application filed February 13, 1882.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT J. LA GRANGE, a subject of Great Britain, residing in the city and countyofPhiladelphia,StateofPennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Finger, Scarf, and other Jewelry Rings, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a section of the ring embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a top view thereof, the head being removed. Figs. 3, 4, and 5 are views of different heads. Fig. 6 is a vertical section of the head of thering. Fig. 7 is a section of a modification. Fig.8 is a section of a portion in line as m, Fig. 7.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
My invention consists of a ring which is adapted to have different heads applied to it.
It also consists of a ring which is adjustable in sizc,the adjustable portion being secured by fastenings concealed by the head of the ring.
Referring to the drawings, Arepresents the head of a ring, and B the bow thereof. The bow is formed of sections or segments a a and a section or segment, I), the latter forming the expansible and contractile part of the ring. The sections a c are hinged to the socket G, to which the head A is attached. The section b is secured at one end to the section a, and its upper or other end is passed freely through the other section, a, and the base of the socket O, and enters the section a, if desired. The upper end of the section b is pierced with arow of openings, 0, and has nearits end a shoulder, d, which is adapted to abut against a pin, e, secured to the bottom plate of the socket G,
. said shoulder and pin forming a stop for preventing the entire withdrawal of the section I) from the section a.
The head A is removably connected to the socket O, and its lower end has a downwardprojecting pin, D, which is adapted to enter one of the openings 0 in the section b of the bow. The center of the bottom plate of the socket O has an opening, 0, whereby when the pin D is inserted in. one of the openings cit will pass into the-openin g o, and thereby be enabled to endure to a greater extent the lateral strain transmitted by the movable section b2 It will be seen that when the head of the ring (No model.)
is removed the pin D leaves the openingso o.
The section I) may be moved in or out, as desired, thus decreasing or increasing the diameter of the bow and adapting the ring to fit smaller or larger fingers, scart's, &c. As soon as the adjustment is complete the head of the ring is restored to its normal position in the socket 0', whereby the pin D enters the proper opening, 0, of the section b and locks said section, so that the bow is prevented from shifting or changing its adjustment. When further adjustment is required the headAis removed, and as the pin D leaves the openings 0 e the section b may be forced in or drawn out the required extent, after which the head is restored, and its pin D again locks the bow. In these motions of the section b the sectionsa a turn on their hinges, so that the proper curvature of the bow is preserved. As the pin D is attached to the head and the openings 0 are within the socket below the head, it is evident that the fastenings for the how are concealed and inaccessible to those who are uninformed of the nature of the ring.
In Figs. 7 and 8 the pin D is provided with a T-head or button, and the openings 0 are continuous, so as to form necks, through which the narrow part of the button may pass, but with which the wide part thereof may engage, whereby provision is made for adjusting the sizeof the ring and holding the parts in their adjusted positions.
The socket G is screw-threaded to engage with threads on the side of the shank or setting of the head A. Consequently the head may be easily removed and reapplied. This provision also admits of employing heads of different kinds for the same ring. When a desired head is applied to the socket it is tightly screwed in position, whichit retains until forcibly removed, its appearance being similar to a fixed head.
The sections a a are hinged to the top part or socket O, as has been stated; but this feature forms no part of the present invention, as the sections may be rigidly connected in position and still permit the expansion and contraction of the how by means of the section 1).
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The ringhaving a socket and a head removably fitted to said socket, whereby the head may be removed and different heads substituted therefor, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. A ring having an adjustable bow and a fastening therefor concealed by the head of the ring, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
3. A ring formed of a head and an adjustable bow, the movable section or portion whereof is formed with openings, and a fasteningpin on the head of the ring engaging with either of said openings, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. I
4. The. ring formed with a removable head, 15 with aseetional bow, and a fastening-pin, the parts being combined and operating substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
5. In an adjustable ring, the movable section, in combination with a fastening-pin at- 2) taehed to and concealed by the head of the ring, substantially as and for the purpose set forth? ROB'I. J. LA GRANGE.
