Ring Holder Structure for Stable Display and Easy Try-On
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing ring display systems face issues with rings moving or twisting on simple thread attachments, requiring frequent alignment and time-consuming individual connection, and existing holders either do not securely hold rings for presentation or require removal for trying on.
Innovation Solution
A ring holder with a flat gripping section, transverse contact surface, and spaced fixing elements allows secure attachment using a band-like holding means, enabling retention under external forces and allowing for easy try-on, while a ring display system with slots and stop elements simplifies presentation by pre-assembling rings with holders.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a simple thread attachment is used to connect the ring to the display, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ring can move and twist requiring frequent alignment and the connection reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment structure is segmented into multiple functional elements: a clamping element with clamping jaws for securing the ring, a holding element for maintaining position, and a fastening element for securing the connection. This segmentation allows each element to perform its specific function effectively, preventing ring movement and twisting while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediate elements between the ring and the display structure - specifically the clamping element that engages with the ring and the holding element that secures it. These intermediary components act as mediators that provide stable connection and alignment without requiring complex direct attachment mechanisms.
2Reliability
If a clamping beak holder is used to clamp the ring, then the ring is held in place, but the ring must be removed from the holder to try it on
Solution Approach 1:
The holder design incorporates dynamic elements that allow the ring to be easily removed and reattached. The clamping element can be opened to release the ring for trying on, and the fastening element can be quickly engaged to secure it again. This dynamic design maintains secure holding during display while enabling convenient try-on operations.
3Reliability
If display cards with die-cut tongues are used to secure rings, then rings are securely fastened, but the presentation quality for high-value rings deteriorates due to the disposable nature of the display card
Solution Approach 1:
The patent avoids using disposable display cards with die-cut tongues by implementing a reusable holder design. The holder with its clamping, holding, and fastening elements can be used repeatedly for displaying and securing rings, maintaining presentation quality for high-value items while providing secure fastening without the limitations of disposable materials.

AI summary
The ring holder (10) has a flat gripping section (12) to which a contact surface is arranged perpendicularly. The flat gripping section is arranged for gripping outer side of a ring (30) such that ring is immobilize relative to contact surface by using strip-like holding units (32a,32b,34a,34b). A fixation element (16) is arranged at a distance from the contact surface. An independent claim is included for method for connecting ring with ring holder.
