Description
Oct. 10, 1961 A. s. SAMUELS 3,003,619
JEWELERS' RING CASE AND DISPLAY DEVICE Filed Sept. 14, 1959 INVENTOR. ALBERT S. SAMUELS BY W, 794% A TOR/V575 United States Patent 3,003,619 JEWELERS RING CASE AND DISPLAY DEVICE Albert S. Samuels, 856 Market St., San Francisco, Calif. Filed Sept. 14, 1959, Ser. No. 839,630 3 Claims. (Cl. 206-4513) This invention relates to ring cases of the kind in which rings and other articles of jewelry are often packaged for presentation to the ultimate consumer and particularly to such a case which is unusually ornamental and adapted to the support of the ring for display in a window or show case.
It is the object of the invention to provide a ring case which when closed presents the appearance of an attractive novelty and provides a dust-proof protective container capable of being easily opened to one position for inspection of its contents and to another position for display purposes.
Further and more specific objects of the invention reside in the construction and arrangement of its several components and will become apparent from an understanding of the invention as it is described in the following specification by reference to the accompanying drawmgs.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a ring case embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a central vertical sectional view of the case shown in FIG. 1 in an open position;
FIG. 3 is a section taken on the line III-III of FIG. 2 but with the case closed; and
FIG. 4 is a view in elevation illustrating the case inverted and opened to a different or display position.
The exterior of the case, as shown in the drawings, may be designed to represent a book having a front cover 10, a back cover 11 and a back panel 12 which joins the front and back covers. This portion of the device may be made of any suitable material such as leather or various plastic or paper imitations thereof. The functional part of the case is a rectangular box-like structure which is diagonally divided to provide a body 14 and a cover 15 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 hinged together at one corner as illustrated at 16. The container may be of any suitable rigid or semi-rigid material such as pasteboard, wood or the like, colored or covered to present a pleasing appearance and the hinge 16 may also be of flexible paper-like material adhesively secured to the parts which are hinged together or may, if desired, be of metal or other more durable material. The back portion of the container 14 is convex to simulate the shape of the back of a book while the front portion of the cover member 15 may be concave as illustrated at 17 to represent the edges of the pages as they often appear in an ordinary book.
The interior of the cover 15 is fitted with a more or less conventional ring holder formed of two padded elements 18 covered with a velvet-like fabric so that the annulus of a finger ring will slip easily between them with the setting of the ring exposed in the manner illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 4. When the cover is swung to its closed position illustrated in FIG. 1, the setting of the ring occupies the space within the body portion 14 of the container.
To open the case for ordinary inspection of its contents, the cover may be swung to the position shown in FIG. 2 where the ring is easily removed if desired. For display purposes the cover is swung to the fully opened posiice tion illustrated in FIG. 4 where the book-like outer. portion of the case serves as a pedestal for displaying the ring in a window or show case with the setting in a slightly elevated and prominent position.
Another of tthe advantages which result from the construction shown and particularly from the diagonal separation of the cover and body of the case is that the separation occurs between the front and back cover elements 10 and 11 and so remote from their edges that the infiltration of dust or foreign matter into the case is effectively prohibited. Furthermore the large area of contact between the front and back panel 10 and 11 and the side walls of the cover 15 present sufficient frictional surface to hold the cover securely in its closed position without the necessity of a latch or other mechanical securing means ordinarily provided on ring cases.
The construction described lends itself readily to the use of materials of many textures and qualities and the exterior surface of the box-like cover is adaptable to various kinds of advertising or ornamental design.
I claim:
1. A ring case of the kind described comprising a rectangular box-like structure separated on a plane which substantially intersects two diagonally opposed corners thereof, a hinged connection joining the separated parts adjacent one of said corners, a ring support in one of said parts adapted to hold a ring in a position with a setting thereon disposed in the other of said parts when the parts are hinged to a closed position, and rectangular panels overlying both sides of both parts and secured to one part only to overlie the diagonal lines of separation.
2. A ring case of the kind described comprising a rectangular box-like structure separated on a plane whichsubstantially intersects two diagonally opposed corners thereof, a hinged connection joining the separated parts adjacent one of said corners, a ring support in one of said parts adapted to hold a ring in a position with a setting thereon disposed in the other of said parts when the parts are hinged to a closed position, and rectangular panels overlying both sides of both parts and secured to one part only to overlie the diagonal lines of separation, said panels serving as a pedestal to sustain the part having the ring support therein when it is swung to a fully open position.
3. A ring case of the kind described comprising a rectangular box-like structure separated diagonally to provide two substantially triangular parts, a rectangular bookshaped cover, one of said parts being secured within said cover, the other of said parts having a ring support therein adapted to support a ring with a portion thereof exposed to view, and means connecting the said other part for pivotal movement relative to the cover and part secured therein to enable it to swing from a position within the cover with the exposed portion of the ring contained in the secured part to a position outside the cover and in a position to be supported by the cover as a pedestal.
