RING.

Application filed November 19, 1927.l Serial No. 234,407.

The present invention is vconcerned with v -'improvements in rings of'the character' in which a plurality of annular ring sections are rotatably joined together. Rings of this type are primarily intended for displaying' various combinations of stones by `rotatlng the sections relatively to each other, or by rotating the sections as a umt'on the finger.

Rings of this type as previously designed,

have been expenslve to manufacture, and have involved soldering operations or complicated constructions which render them unsuitable for embodiment in a low priced arttcle. Most-of them furthermore, have not been of attractive appearance, and have been built up of a number of parts which render theirassembly complicated and awkward.

In accordance with the present invention, I have provided a ring in which there are no parts except the individual annular ring sections to be rotatably` united, in whichsoldering and other complicated or awkward manufacturing processes are eliminated, and one ring section .joined to an adjacent one by the simple expedient of spinning a flange into a groove.

The completed ring is of neat attractive appearance,devoidof projections on-its outerv and inner surfaces, ruggedand durable in construction, and well suited to the requirements of economical manufacture.

With the above noted and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel featuresi'ofconstruction and combinations and' arrangements of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter setv forth and lpointed out more fully understood from the following descripf 4tion in connection with the accompanying drawings,wherein Fig. 1 is a sectionalview showing thetwo annular sections which are vused in making the ring before .their assembly.

Fig. 2 is a similarview showing thering sections assembled.

Fig. 3 is a side elevational view of Fig. 2. i

In the drawings I have used the reference numerals 10' and 11 to designate two annularv .ring sections adapted to be secured together in edge to edge abutting relationship, 1n such a manner that they are free for relative rota-4 wish to limit of the section 11 is a flange 16 of suitable cross Y sectional shape to ,fit within the groove 14.

This flange as best seen in Fig. 1 normally clears the cutaway portion 15 as the two sections are moved together into abutting'relationship. l

After the sections are brought together, the flange Vis spun or Worked into the groove by the use of a spinning tool or other appropriate instrumentality in such a manner that the inner surfaces of the two ring sections lie flush with each other with no internal projecting'parts.- vThe flange and groove prevent relative separation of the sections and permit relative rotation thereof.

The sections may be provided with openings such as '17 therein, or otherwise suitably treated for the reception of stones indicated in dotted lines at 18.

It will be obvious, that as many sections as deslred ma Vbe joined together by the means described a ove; although in most cases, two sectlons are enough to produce an attractive ring with four possible stone combinations rangement of the parts described without departing from the invention. AHence I do not but shall cnsi r myself at liberty to make such changes' and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope ofthe appendedclaim.

, I claim A ring including at least two relatively Y rotatable annular ring sections secured together in edge to edge abutting relationship, one ring section having an internal annular roove therein, the other.1 section having an integral annularextension constituting a i r'ryself to the details setvforth,.

5 Across section and communicating with theu vabutment face of the grooved section, the flange being of material capable `of being spun into the groove and projecting from the abutment surface of the anged section.

Signed at New York, 1n the county of New 10 York and State of New York, this seventeenth day of November A D. 1927.
