Description

[0001] The invention relates to a multi-part finger ring consisting of a support ring and an interchangeable connecting element with a rotating and tilting element according to the main claim 1 and the dependent claims 2 to 9. State of the art

[0002] Finger rings with interchangeable decorative elements or interchangeable systems are generally known from the state of the art.

[0003] From DE 199 08 523.4 A1 a piece of jewellery that can be worn on the body is known, comprising a main body, at least one holding body that is detachably connected to the main body and at least one decorative element that is held interchangeably on the piece of jewellery by the holding body.

[0004] From DE 10 2019 130 908 A1 a piece of jewelry is known with a change system for at least one interchangeable decorative element, which can be reversibly attached to the piece of jewelry, wherein the change system comprises at least one interchangeable receptacle provided on the piece of jewelry, to or into which the at least one decorative element can be attached or inserted, and furthermore at least one fastening means is provided on the change system, by means of which the at least one decorative element can be reversibly fixed to the receptacle.

[0005] As mentioned in these two examples, the deficiency in these inventions consists of pieces of jewelry or rings to which a decorative element or interchangeable system is usually attached. This interchangeable system is connected to a rigid holder that does not allow the attached decorative element, in conjunction with the interchangeable system, to be viewed from different perspectives, as it is neither tiltable, rotatable, nor inclinable. This has the disadvantage that texts, symbols, designs, or images on the decorative element can only be read by turning the hand, but not by rotating or tilting the decorative element. All known systems do not solve the problem of universal mobility of a decorative element for a finger ring, or have limited design and application options.Especially when using an innovative display as a decorative element on a finger ring, a rotatable and pivoting function is indispensable, since the hand can only be used at a certain angle for a perspective view.

[0006] The invention is based on the object of offering the consumer a product that can be worn on a finger as a flexibly adjustable piece of jewelry, a collector's item, or as a wearable. This has the advantage that any type of decorative element can be easily viewed or operated from different perspectives. The invented multi-part finger ring fulfills this task because it consists of a support ring with an interchangeable connecting element consisting of a rotating and tilting element, and a decorative element that can be adjusted, modified, or used directly on the finger according to the consumer's wishes using adjustable rotation and tilt angles.

[0007] The advantage of a multi-part finger ring is that if the consumer wants a new ring, they do not have to buy a new design, but only a new, interchangeable connecting element consisting of a rotating, tilting and decorative element, with which they can change the appearance of the ring individually according to their wishes in a very short time.

[0008] With a multi-part finger ring, the consumer has the advantage of being able to wear a piece of jewelry with sophisticated designs and innovative technical features on their body, allowing them to use the multi-part finger ring as an art object, fan item, display, fitness tracker, or smartphone.

[0009] The decorative element can be designed in a variety of ways and can be equipped with any size precious metal, material, or technical device. Preferred materials for the support ring are all precious metal alloys or their sub-alloy groups.

[0010] Merchandise products or collectors of figures, masks, symbols, crests, club logos or other objects in particular can express their passion with the help of such a connecting element for finger rings by purchasing several different decorative elements and attaching them to the finger ring as they wish.

[0011] A multi-part finger ring can also be purchased as an innovative wearable, as it can be used and worn directly on the body as a smartphone or fitness tracker in the form of a finger ring.

[0012] With the appropriate accessories, the multi-part finger ring can be used as a replacement for a smartphone, fitness tracker, or other communication device, making it available to the consumer even in life-threatening emergencies, as it is quickly accessible and easy to use when worn on a finger.

[0013] According to the invention, the above object is achieved according to claim 1 in conjunction with the characterized features. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the piece of jewelry according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims 2 to 9.

[0014] The solution to this problem consists of a support ring with a central hole to which an interchangeable connecting element is attached, which is equipped with a tilt and swivel joint that allows the decorative element on the interchangeable connecting element to have different angles of rotation and inclination, so that the decorative element can be viewed and used from different positions with the respective settings.

[0015] The multi-part finger ring consists of a support ring with a central bore (1). The central bore is not continuous so that the screwed-in external thread 2 (6) of the rotating and tilting element (5) cannot touch and injure the finger. The bore is equipped, for example, with an internal thread A (2) so that the support ring (1) can be connected to the rotating and tilting element (5) using a screw connection through the external thread 2 (6). This can be produced by pressing, casting, or mechanically machining a blank. All materials commonly used for the production of finger rings can be used. According to a preferred embodiment, the replaceable connecting element with external thread 1 (4) is screwably connected to the internal thread B (9) of a decorative element (8).The interchangeable connecting element (3) with external thread (4) contains a spring (7) that counteracts the movement of the decorative element (8) in one direction. Interchangeable connecting elements (3) with different decorative elements (8) can be attached to the support ring (1) according to the individual wishes of the consumer in terms of their shape and design. The size of the decorative element (8) can be individually selected because, unlike other finger rings, the attachment to the interchangeable connecting element (3) means that it extends beyond the back of the hand and the knuckles, thus preventing it from interfering with normal everyday movements.

[0016] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings. They show:

[0020] Fig.4 a replaceable connecting element (3) with external thread 1 (4), which is equipped with a rotating and tilting element (5) with external thread 2 (6) and a spring (7).

[0021] The features specified above and in the claims, as well as those evident in the figures, can be advantageously implemented both individually and in various combinations. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, but can be modified in many ways within the scope of expert knowledge.
