Abstract
A ring protecting device for covering and protecting outer surface of a ring. The ring protecting device includes an annular member. The annular member has a first edge, a second edge, an inner surface and an outer surface. A panel is securely attached to and extending around the inner surface of the annular member. The panel is positioned between the first and second edges. The panel comprises a cloth material. The annular member is positioned around the ring such that the panel abuts the ring.
Claims5
A ring protecting device for removably placing over a ring, said device comprising:
- an annular member, said annular member having a first edge, a second edge, an inner surface and an outer surface;
- a panel, said panel being securely attached to and extending around said inner surface of said annular member, said panel being positioned between said first and second edges, said panel comprising a cloth material;
- and
- wherein said annular member is adapted to be positioned around the ring such that said panel can abut the ring;
- said annular member having a first break therein, said first break extending through said annular member and said panel to define a pair of opposed edges;
- and
- a first one of said pair of opposed edges having a bore therein, said bore having a wall having an annular shoulder therein, said second edge having a protruding member integrally coupled thereto and positioned to generally correspond with said bore, said protruding member having a flange thereon for releasably engaging said annular shoulder in said bore.
