DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] The advantages and features of the present invention and methods for achieving them will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below and may be embodied in various different forms. However, the embodiments are provided to fully disclose the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. The present invention is defined only by the scope of the claims.

[0018] When an element or layer is referred to as being "on" another element or layer, this includes not only being directly on top of the other element but also having other elements or layers between them. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification.

[0019] Although terms such as "first" and "second" are used to describe various components, it is understood that these components are not limited to these terms. These terms are used merely to distinguish one component from another. Therefore, it is understood that a first component referred to below can also be a second component within the technical concept of the present invention.

[0020] Specific embodiments will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Figure 1 is an oblique view showing the shape of a ring having rotation and locking functions so that multiple jewels can be selectively displayed according to one embodiment; Figure 2 is a plan view showing the ring having rotation and locking functions so that multiple jewels can be selectively displayed according to one embodiment; Figure 3 is a view showing the storage section of a ring having rotation and locking functions so that multiple jewels can be selectively displayed according to one embodiment; Figure 4 is a view referred to for explaining the internal shape of the storage section corresponding to part A in Figure 3; Figure 5 is a view showing the enlarged shape of part B in Figure 4; Figure 6 is an oblique view showing the internal shape of a ring having rotation and locking functions so that multiple jewels can be selectively displayed according to one embodiment; and Figure 7 is a view referred to for explaining the rotation state of a ring having rotation and locking functions so that multiple jewels can be selectively displayed according to one embodiment.

[0022] 1 and 2, a ring R having rotation and locking functions for selectively displaying multiple gemstones according to one embodiment may include a first surface S1, which is an outer surface; a second surface S2 facing the first surface S1 and contacting a user's finger; and third and fourth surfaces S3 and S4 bent from the first surface S1 to face each other. The second surface S2 may have a structure that allows it to be fastened to the third and fourth surfaces S3 and S4. The second surface S2 may also have a structure that allows it to rotate while fastened to the first, third, and fourth surfaces S1, S3, and S4. For example, the first, third, and fourth surfaces S1, S3, and S4 may be integrally formed, and the second surface S2 may have a structure that allows it to be fastened to them. Therefore, the first, third, and fourth surfaces S1, S3, and S4 are rotatable relative to the second surface S2, and the second surface S2 is rotatable relative to the first, third, and fourth surfaces S1, S3, and S4.

[0023] In some embodiments, the first surface S1 may include a first hole H1, and the second surface S2 may include a second hole H2. The size of the first hole H1 may be larger than the size of the second hole H2. Also, the number of the second holes H2 may be greater than the number of the first holes H1.

[0024] In some embodiments, the number of second holes H2 may correspond to the number of gemstones contained within the ring R, which has rotation and locking capabilities so that multiple gemstones can be selectively displayed.

[0025] The first hole H1 may expose a portion of the gem J. For example, the top surface of the gem J that the user wishes to select may be exposed. The second hole H2 may be a passageway through which the lower portion of the gem J contained within the ring R, which has a rotation and locking function to selectively display multiple gems, may be located. The second hole H2 may also serve as a passageway through which the gem J can move to the second surface S2. For example, the first hole H1 may face one of the second holes H2. For the second hole H2 that does not face the first hole H1, the upper surface of the gem J moves downward by the first surface S1, so that the lower portion of the gem J may be positioned within the second hole H2, thereby reducing the load on the gem J. The rotational movement of the gem J will be described in more detail below.

[0026] Although the drawings illustrate an example in which there is one first hole H1, multiple first holes H1 may be provided. Also, although the planar shapes of the first hole H1 and the second hole H2 are illustrated as being circular, they may have various other planar shapes such as a triangular shape, an elliptical shape, a rectangular shape, etc.

[0027] 3, a space SS may be provided between the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 that face each other. The space SS may be a space surrounded by the first surface S1, the second surface S2, the third surface S3, and the fourth surface S4. That is, a ring R having a rotation and lock function so that multiple gemstones can be selectively displayed according to one embodiment may be configured to include a ring-shaped space SS therein.

[0028] In some embodiments, a container CP may be disposed in the separated space SS. The container CP functions as a holder for the jewel J. The container CP may include a hole, and the hole may have a cylindrical shape, but is not limited thereto.

[0029] A plurality of the receiving portions CP may be arranged in the separated space SS. The receiving portions CP may be fixed to the second surface S2 but separated from the first surface S1. The receiving portions CP may have a cylindrical shape with a space therein for receiving a gemstone, as shown in FIG. 6. However, the receiving portions CP are not limited to this and may have various shapes such as an elliptical cylinder with a space therein for receiving a gemstone, a rectangular prism with a space therein for receiving a gemstone, or a triangular prism with a space therein for receiving a gemstone. In some embodiments, the size of the receiving portions CP may be larger than the size of the first holes H1.

[0030] 6, a second hole H2 may be formed on the second surface S2 on which the receiving part CP is disposed. As described above, the receiving part CP is fixed to the second surface S2, and the receiving part CP can also rotate together with the second surface S2.

[0031] In some embodiments, a plurality of containers CP may be arranged along the second surface S2, and a gem J may be fixed inside each container CP. The gems J fixed inside each container CP may be different gems. For example, the gems J fixed inside each container CP may be different types of gems, or may have different hues. The gems J fixed inside each container CP may have a diamond shape, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. For example, the cross section of each container CP may have a triangular shape, a first trapezoid, and a second trapezoid smaller than the first trapezoid stacked in that order from bottom to top. However, the cross section of each container CP may have a triangular shape and a trapezoidal shape from bottom to top. The cross section of each container CP may have a variety of stepped shapes.

[0032] 4 and 5, a jewel J is disposed inside each of the plurality of receiving portions CP, and the jewel J may be fastened to an elastic member EP. For example, the elastic member EP may be a spring that surrounds the lower portion of the jewel. However, the elastic member EP is not limited to this, and various elastic structures may be applied.

[0033] An elastic member EP is disposed inside each of the plurality of storage sections CP, and a jewel J can be fixed on each of the elastic members EP. This allows the jewel J, while stored in the storage section CP, to move in the second direction (Y-axis direction) and the direction opposite to the second direction (Y-axis direction) by the elastic member EP.

[0034] In some embodiments, the first hole H1 may have a step. For example, the diameter of the first hole H1 in the first direction (X-axis direction) may be divided into a first diameter D1 on the inner side facing the second surface S2 and a second diameter D2 on the outer side, which is the opposite side. The first diameter D1 may be larger than the second diameter D2. The second diameter D2 is smaller than the first diameter D1, forming a step, which may prevent the entire gem J from passing through the first hole H1 and escaping to the outside. In addition, the shape of the gem placed in the container CP may be formed taking into account the step of the first hole H1, and the thickness of the gem J protruding outward from the first surface S1 may be adjusted by adjusting the step of the first hole H1 and the shape of the gem J.

[0035] In some embodiments, the third diameter D3 of the receiving portion CP in the first direction (X-axis direction) may be greater than the first diameter D1 (D3>D1>D2).

[0036] Referring to Figures 6 and 7, since the jewels J arranged in the multiple storage sections CP can rotate along the second surface S2, the positions of the jewels J arranged in the multiple storage sections CP can be divided into cases where they face the first hole H1 (where they are aligned in the second direction (Y-axis direction)) and cases where they do not face the first hole H1 (where they are not aligned in the second direction (Y-axis direction)).

[0037] Due to the structure of the ring, it can be considered that the first surface S1, the third surface S3, the fourth surface S4, and the first hole H1 formed in the first surface S1 rotate, or that the second surface S2, the holding portion CP arranged in the second surface S2, and the jewel J arranged in the holding portion CP rotate. However, for the sake of convenience, it will be described as the second surface S2 rotating while the first surface S1, the third surface S3, the fourth surface S4, and the first hole H1 formed in the first surface S1 are fixed.

[0038] When the jewel J arranged in the plurality of holding portions CP rotates along the second surface S2 to face the first hole H1, a force is applied in the second direction (Y-axis direction) by the elastic member EP, causing the jewel J to rise in the second direction (Y-axis direction) and be exposed to the outside of the first hole H1. In this case, the step of the first hole H1 prevents the entire jewel J from passing through the first hole H1 and escaping to the outside, and the jewel J can be fixed in a state where only a portion of the jewel J is exposed. In addition, the exposure of the ring can embody a locking function against the rotation of the ring. The locking function can also be released by increasing the rotational force. In some embodiments, the locking function can also be released by pressing the exposed jewel and rotating the ring.

[0039] Furthermore, when the second surface S2 is rotated with the gem J exposed outside the first hole H1 by the elastic member EP, the gem J exposed outside the first hole H1 descends in the opposite second direction (Y-axis direction) due to the step between the elastic member EP and the first hole H1, and the position of the gem J is reversed so that it no longer faces the first hole H1. In this case, a force is applied to the gem in the opposite second direction (Y-axis direction) by the first surface S1, causing the elastic member EP to contract. Here, the second hole H2 is provided to prevent the lower part of the gem J from coming into contact with the second surface S2 and being damaged by the forces in the opposite directions (Y-axis direction), so that the lower part of the gem J can be stably positioned within the second hole H2. The diameter of the second hole H2 can be smaller than the second diameter D2.

[0040] In this way, the ring R, which has rotation and locking functions so that multiple gemstones can be selectively displayed, includes multiple gemstones J fastened to the elastic member EP, and the gemstones J can be displayed on the outer surface of the first surface S1 by rotating it. This allows the gemstones J displayed on the outer surface of the first surface S1 to be easily changed according to preference.

[0041] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit and essential features of the present invention. Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are illustrative in all respects and are not limiting. [Explanation of symbols]
