Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a finger ring size opening adjustment device for enhancing the retention of a finger ring upon the wearer's finger and, more particularly to an adjustment device adapted to the ring shank for permitting passage of the ring over an enlarged knuckle for fitting a digital portion of the finger.
  • a well known problem in the fitting of finger rings is a condition where a wearer will have relatively large knuckles compared to the digital portion of his finger. If a ring is sized large enough to fit over the knuckle, it is typically too loose when it is past the knuckle and as a result is not properly secured to the digital portion of the finger resulting in an objectionable loose fit.
  • a variety of devices have been developed that include adjustable shanks and devices for filling space between the inner surface of the shank and the digital portion of the finger.
  • U.S. Patent No. 1 ,075,673 to Segman discloses a finger ring adjustable to different size fingers after the ring has been placed on the finger.
  • a screw threaded shank is disclosed which is secured to and carried within a setting and adapted to be received in a tapped opening in the ring.
  • An adjustable plate is rotatably secured to an inner end of the screw threaded shank.
  • a thumb screw used for adjusting the screw threaded shank is dimensioned to fit outside the shank within the head of the ring or in an alternative for extending outside the shank at a lower portion of the ring shank.
  • U.S. Patent No. 3,150,505 to Olson discloses a finger ring having an adjustable ring guard wherein the ring setting at the upper end of the ring is provided with a centrally located recess beneath the setting. This recessed portion is dimensioned to accommodate an eccentric wheel.
  • the wheel is mounted on a journal which is rotatably received within a blind bore and which extends transversely from one outer side of the ring through the recess.
  • the journal at its outer portion is provided with a slotted end for rotation using a tool such as a screw driver and consequently the rotation of the eccentric wheel by means of a small screwdriver.
  • a plunger extending upwardly into the recess causes a downward movement of a thin resilient metallic strip.
  • the flexible strip is semicircular in configuration and is provided at each end with two outwardly extending tabs which engage shank sides of the ring.
  • U.S. Patent No. 3,483,718 to Lodrini discloses a device for narrowing the diameter of a finger ring which includes a short saddle-like insert fitted into the ring finger opening for constricting the opening size.
  • the saddle comprises a moveable arcuate sector that fits around the bottom portion of the ring over shank side walls with spring therebetween.
  • known adjustment devices include crescent shaped elements hinged to a bottom portion of the shank for pivoting from a first position outside of the ring opening to a second position within the ring opening thus providing the adjustment such as disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,465,544 to Tucker and 4,215,556 to Mroz.
  • U.S. Patent No. 3,590,598 to Leone discloses a finger ring with pivotally mounted size adjusting member actuated to reduce the internal ring size after the ring is on the finger so that a maximum ring opening can be provided for placing the ring on the finger.
  • the pivoted element is adapted to be swung to a position in the plane of the ring, thereby decreasing the ring size and to a position at right angles to the plane of the ring, thereby opening the ring to its full original inside diameter.
  • an object of the present invention to provide a device and associated method for a person wearing a ring to adjust the size of the ring without the need for tools. It is yet another object to provide an adjustable ring shank that can be worn with a companion ring. It is further an object of the invention to provide a simple and inexpensive adjustable ring shank for use with both costume and gold jewelry. It is yet another object to provide an adjustable ring shank which will accommodate a variety of heads.
  • a finger ring size adjustment device which comprises a shank, cradle and cradle biasing means carried by the shank for biasing the cradle against a finger received within an opening of the ring shank.
  • the shank includes an opening for receiving a finger therethrough, which shank is defined by a generally cylindrical shank periphery and side walls extending radially inward along the shank periphery.
  • the cradle includes an arcuate central portion for receiving a finger portion.
  • the cradle is operable within the shank periphery for movement between a retracted cradle position wherein the cradle is proximate the shank periphery for permitting the finger to freely pass through the opening of the shank to an adjusted cradle position wherein the cradle is displaced radially inward from the shank periphery for reducing the opening of the shank and receiving the finger within the opening having a reduced size fitting the finger.
  • the entire cradle remains within the opening of the shank and shank periphery between and at the cradle positions.
  • the cradle biasing means are carried by the shank for biasing the cradle against the finger when the finger is received within the shank opening.
  • the cradle biasing means are positioned entirely within the opening of the shank and shank periphery when the cradle is in the adjusted cradle position.
  • the cradle biasing means comprise a leaf spring having end portions and a central portion therebetween, the end portions slidably attached to the shank, the central portion engagable with the cradle, the leaf spring biasing the cradle inward of the shank periphery to the adjusted cradle position, the leaf spring responsive to an apposing biasing by the finger as the finger is received within the opening, the finger biasing the cradle toward the retracted cradle position as the finger passes into the opening of the shank.
  • the cradle biasing means comprise a lever arm having a central portion pivotally attached to the shank, the lever arm having an extensible arm portion extending from one side of the central portion, the extensible arm portion engagable with the cradle, the lever arm having a fulcrum arm portion extending from the central portion opposing the extensible arm portion, the fulcrum arm portion rotatable about the central portion of the lever arm for moving the extensible arm portion from a first lever arm position proximate the shank periphery wherein the cradle is in the retracted cradle position, to a second lever arm position extending the extensible arm portion inward of the shank periphery wherein the cradle is in the adjusted cradle position.
  • a method aspect of the invention includes the steps of biasing the cradle toward the shank periphery, passing the finger through the shank opening, positioning the shank at a preselected location along the finger, and then biasing the cradle against the finger for holding the finger at the preselected location along the finger.

Abstract

Cette invention se rapporte à un dispositif (10) de réglage de la grosseur d'une bague, qui comprend un corps de bague (12) et un berceau (22), lequel est sollicité radialement vers l'intérieur depuis le corps (12) de la bague. Le berceau (22) est mobile entre une position rétractée (26) et une position ajustée (28) réduisant la grosseur de la bague. L'utilisateur dispose ainsi d'un corps de bague ajustable (12) qui glisse facilement sur une articulation même proéminente (30) et s'adapte ensuite à la grosseur souhaitée sur la phalange (32) du doigt (16). Le berceau (22) est sollicité vers l'intérieur en direction de la position ajustée, par un ressort à lame (36) dans un mode de réalisation ajustable automatiquement et par un bras de levier (222) dans une variante (200). Le bras de levier à actionnement manuel (222) vient coopérer par glissement avec le berceau (22) et il est relié rotatif au corps de la bague pour permettre au berceau (22) de se déplacer entre la position rétractée (26) et la position ajustée (28). Le bras de levier (222) est caché dans le corps (212) de la bague, lorsqu'il maintient le berceau (22) en position ajustée (28). Le ressort à lame (36) est porté par le corps (12) de la bague et il est positionné de façon à solliciter le berceau (22) radialement vers l'intérieur depuis le corps (12) de la bague jusqu'à la position ajustée (28), laquelle est automatiquement déterminée par la grosseur du doigt (16) de l'utilisateur. Dans un aspect de cette invention, l'élément de sollicitation (34) et le berceau (22) sont disposés dans les limites du corps (12) de la bague pour permettre une utilisation de ce dispositif de bague réglable (10) à côté d'une seconde bague ou d'une contre-bague et pour éviter les accrocs aux vêtements par cette bague réglable.
