AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a new type of silicone ring that solves issues with current rings in the market. These rings have rounded edges and are between 1.25 mm and 2 mm thick, making them more comfortable, ergonomic, and wearable for longer periods of time. The new silicone ring has curved edges and a band that is between 1.25 mm and 2 mm thick at its widest point.

Problems solved by technology

In general, the process utilized to make these rings leaves the ring with flat edges and an uncomfortable thickness.
While the rings are not as expensive as metal rings, one doesn't want their rings to be replaced when they have sentimental value of any kind because of comfort issues.
The flat edges are uncomfortable and not very ergonomic.
In addition, existing silicone ring bands have been observed with thicknesses of up to approximately 2.5 mm, which can be uncomfortable, less ergonomic and in some cases, rendering it nonfunctional to the wearer.
