Benefits of technology

"This patent is about a ring ensemble that has a special mechanism that connects two rings together. This mechanism prevents the rings from spinning or twisting while they are being worn or displayed. The mechanism is easy to separate and can be used to create a unique look when the rings are worn separately."

Problems solved by technology

The remedies have proven disadvantageous in that they detract from the intended look of the set, are difficult to remove, are uncomfortable to wear or may add cost to repairs since both rings must be serviced simultaneously.

Embodiment Construction

[0006] The invention relates to a mechanism for engaging a ring ensemble in which a first ring has a protruding shaped element that inserts into a matching aperture of a second ring. The engagement of the shaped element into the matching aperture prevents the rings from spinning radially and twisting axially. The mechanism allows easy insertion and separation while the ensemble is being worn on the finger or displayed, and is visually appealing when the rings are viewed in combination or alone.

[0007] A ring ensemble is any two rings which are meant to be worn together and have been designed to be presented in a fixed orientation. An example of such an ensemble would be an engagement ring / wedding band set. One skilled in the art would recognize that other similar sets could also take advantage of this invention.

[0008] For the purposes of this application, axial twisting is defined as rotation of the rings around the axis of the engaging mechanism. Stated alternatively, axial rotati...

Abstract

This invention relates to a mechanism for engaging two rings such as to prevent rotation and pivoting while being worn on a finger. The mechanism of this invention also allows the rings to be displayed on a pedestal, such as found in jewelry stores, without the rings losing alignment. The engaging mechanism is presented in the shape of a romantic symbol appropriate to the ring set and also provides a visually appealing effect when one ring is worn alone.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] Many women have adopted the custom of wearing engagement and wedding rings as a set. The individual rings are generally matching in design and produce an appealing effect when worn together on the finger. Jewelers often display and sell such sets in a wide variety of styles and gemstone settings. [0002] A number of practices and devices have commonly been used to keep the rings in contact and the settings in alignment when worn or displayed. [0003] The remedies have proven disadvantageous in that they detract from the intended look of the set, are difficult to remove, are uncomfortable to wear or may add cost to repairs since both rings must be serviced simultaneously. [0004] There is still a long felt need for a mechanism that will provide the wearer ease of use, simplicity of design and utility in maintaining the rings in proper orientation during store display and normal wear. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] This invention relates to a ring ense...
