Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A cup-shaped holder for a ring or like trinket with inner surfaces which engage with and hold the annular part of the ring while the ring mount serves to close the mouth of the holder.
  • the inner surfaces of the holder co-operate with the annular part of the ring to exert a compressive force on the ring which is removed after the major portion of the ring passes into an expanded portion of the holder.
  • a capshaped enclosure in which the ring mount is seated in the mouth and the annular ring is resiliently engaged with and secured in the capsule by engagement with the capsule wall.
  • a holder for a trinket having an annular part and a wider ring mount comprising: a wall providing a cup-shaped ring enclosure with a mount dimensioned to seat a ring mount, said enclosure wall having a pair of opposed inner surfaces defining a first outer narrowed portion for resiliently engaging said annular part and a second expanded portion for receiving a major portion of said annular part to restrain movement of said annular part out of said capsule.
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a ring or trinket holder in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a section through an assembled ring and holder in accordance with the present invention.
  • a ring or like trinket is indicated at 12 and comprises an annular member 13 with an enlarged mount or back 14.
  • the mount 14 may be provided with a design or decorated in any suitable fashion. Over the design a convex clear cover which may function as a lens is mounted.
  • the mounting securement may be made by any suitable adhesive or by pressurable engagement with an upstanding rim 15.
  • a trinket holder is generally indicated at 16 and comprises a substantially cup-shaped shell or wall 17 with a mouth 22.
  • radial ribs 26 and 27 extend outwardly. These ribs are not entirely necessary but in this embodiment they provide reinforcement. And on either side of channels 18 and 19 a pair of inwardly extending walls 30 and 31 project. These walls serve to limit rotation of the annular part 13.
  • a pair of slots 32 and 33 are provided in the capsule wall 17. These slots with channels 18 and 19 define edges 34 and 35 at the junction of these channels with their respective slots.
  • the annular part of the ring 13 is inserted in holder 16 so that the annular part is aligned with the channels 18 and 19 and in engagement with the inner surfaces thereof.
  • the ring is then pushed in and with the compressive fit the ring will tend to be slightly compressed.
  • the major part of the ring has passed edges 34 and 35 the compressive force will be removed and the ring will expand and be locked securely in position by engagement with slots 32 and 33 and edges 34 and 35 bearing upon the annular part of the ring.
  • the materials employed for the shell 16 are a clear plastic although any other suitable material may be employed.
  • a holder in accordance with the invention provides a holder of reduced cost in that only one component is necessary and a reduced amount of material is required.
  • a ring and holder therefor said ring comprising a substantially circular ring mount having a lower surface and a resilient ring part extending from said lower surface of said ring mount; said holder comprising a wall defining a generally cupshaped capsule having an open end dimensioned to seat said ring mount, a pair of diametrically opposed inwardly extending channels having opposed inner surfaces spaced apart a predetermined distance less than the diameter of said ring mount, adjacent said open end, a pair of slots each aligned with and spaced inwardly from a respective one of said channels and extending through said wall adjacent to said channels, and a pair of inwardly extending flanges extending along each of said channels and slots, said ring mount being seated at said open end with said ring part being removably received in said slots in a snap-fitting relationship therewith.
