DESIGN FOR A FlNGER-RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 13,852, dated April 10, 1883.

Application filed February 13, 1888.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, BENJAMIN D. TRAITEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in the county and State of New York, have invented and produced a new and original Design for FingenRings, of which the following is a specification, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming part thereof.

My invention relates to a novel design for finger-rings; and itconsists in various features ot'configuration and ornamentation, which will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings which accompany this specification, Figure 1 is a front elevation, Fig. 2 a side elevation, and Fig. 3 a top view, of a ring embodying my invention.

Corresponding parts in all the views are indicated by like letters of reference.

A is the band, hoop, or ring proper; and B, the bearing setting or base for the ornamental stone or other device 0.

I have improved the appearance of the ring by extending the band on each side beyond the base or hearing B to or quite near to the top edges of both sides of the stone, and by forking or notching their extremities, as at e.

I do not confine myself to any particular number of furcations or notches, as in rings of various sizes and widths of band I shall use different numbers of forks, just as in my judgmentbeauty or symmetry may suggest.

In the drawings I have shown a ring with three forks, and necessarily with two notches or cut-outs. .As the band of the ringapproaches the stone its edges diverge, so that its broadest pa-rt occurs where the forks or serrations are made. I have further ornamented these extensions of thenband by graving, stamping, or otherwise forming thereon two oppositelydisposed and joined curved lines, forming an X -shaped figure, and I havealso placed two little dots or indentations in line with thejnnc: tion of the curves, forming the X-shaped figure, so as to give increased effect to the ornamentation. This embellishment willbe found where I have put the reference-letter c.

As shown in the several views, I have formed flanges b on each end of the setting, which flanges extend only for a. portion of the width Term of patent 3* years.

| of the stone, and about midway of its height,

leaving the corners and upper edges of the stone distinctly observable. 'lhese flanges are curved at their bases, to conform to the geu eral curvature of the hand and interior face of the setting, and to rest properly on the finger of the wearer of the ring, and are beveled or chamfered at their tops, to give a more finished appearance. I have ornamented said flanges and their beveled tops by cutting thereon a series ofstraight and equidistant lines, as plainly visible in the drawings.

Although I have shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3 the various features of my new design as embodied in a ring having a fiat-top stone rectan gular in form, I nevertheless do not wish my invention to be considered as limited to the employment of such a stone, as one with a curved top, as in Fig. 4, and of other shape than rectangular, may just as well be used.

Having now so fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Design Letters Patent, is-- 1. A finger-ring having substantially the shown and described configuration and ornamentatiou.

2. A finger-ring having forked band extensions projecting above the base or bearin g, substantially as shown and described.

3. A linger-ring having forked band extensions projecting above the bearing or setting, and widest where the forks occur, substantially as shown and described.

4. A finger-ring having band extensions projecting above thehearing or setting, provided with ornamentation c, substantially such as shown and described.

5. A finger-ring having forked band'extensions projecting above the bearing or setting, provided with ornamentation c, substantially such as shown and described.

6. A finger-ring having forked band extensions projecting above the hearing or setting, and end flanges, b, as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 12th day of February, 1883.

BEN. D. TRYAITEL.
