Description

S. HOFFMAN RING `SIZF INDICATOR Filed May 14, 1962 July 13, 1965 United tates 3,193,94I RING SIZE INDICATR Samuel Hof-Iman, 524 Hinsdale St., Brooklyn, Nfl?. Enea Mey t4, i952, ser. No. rs1/4,3m 2 Claims. (Cl. E53-HQ) My invention is directed toward a ring size indicator for indicating the jewelry ring size of a finger inserted therein.
It is an object of my invention to provide a ring size indicator of the type indicated wherein any finger size within specified limits will be indicated automatically without need for dummy rings.
Another object is to provide a ring size indicator of the type indicated which will provide a true fitting each time.
Still another object is to provide a ring size indicator which can be manufactured simply and inexpensively.
All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages will become apparent when this specification is studied together with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective View of my invention shown in operative use;
FIGURE 2 is a front elevation view thereof;
FIGURE 2a is an enlarged fragmentary end elevation view thereof; and
FIGURE 3 is a fragmentary view of a modification thereof.
In the drawings there is shown a bar 1G carrying ring size indicia. To one end 1l of the bar 10 is attached one end 13 of a flexible hollow tube shaped loop 12 formed for example of a flexible metal such as brass, copper, aluminum or the like. The other end l of loop IZ is in contact with but not secured to a point 14 on bar 1li. A fiexible spring 16 positioned within the hollow portion of loop 12 holds the loop in position. The end of spring 16 adjacent end 11 of bar 10 is connected thereto. The other end of the spring is attached to the end 1S of the loop. When a finger 18 is inserted in the loop, the pressure upon loop 12 and spring 16 causes the end 15 to move to a new position along bar 10, the indicia corresponding to this new position indicating the ring size lgil Patented July i3, i965 ice (usually 51/2 to 11 for men, 41/2 to S for women and 2 to 41/2 for children).
The indicia measures approximately 11/2 times 1/z magnified glass View. When a finger is not inserted, the loop will contract to a size one or more sizes smaller than the first size or indicator.
The modification of FIGURE 3 shows two loops, one loop 12 carrying a second loop 2i) slidable therein. The free ends of the composite loop are fixed to a bar. In this case the indicia is carried on loop 2f). Inserting a finger in this structure causes loop 12 to move relatively away from loop 20, the ring size being indicated by the smallest indicia exposed on tube 2t). The spring 16 is secured at each end to the corresponding end of the bar.
While I have described my invention with reference to the drawings, my protection is to be limited only by the terms of the claims which follow.
I claim as follows:
I. A ring size indicator comprising a bar, a hollow loop secured at a front end of said bar, the second end of said loop adapted to move along the other end of said bar, a spring in said loop, one end of said spring secured to said first end of said loop, and the other end secured to said other end of said loop, and indicia means along said bar adapted to indicate a ring size when a finger is engaged in said loop.
2. A ring size indicator comprising a bar, a first section of a hollow loop secured at one end of said bar, said hollow loop section including a spring secured at said same end of said bar, a second section of a hollov loop secured at the other end of said bar, said second section of said hollow loop adapted to slide inside said first section, a spring secured at said other end of said bar in said second section of said loop, and indicia on said second section adapted to indicate a ring size when a finger is engaged in said loop sections.
