Abstract
A ring re-sizing attachment is appended to the internal circumference of a ring band so that a ring band large enough to pass over a knuckle remains comfortably fit around the digital finger below the knuckle. The attachment includes two or more telescoping buttons joined to a base, with a conical spring urging the buttons away from the base. The spring is compressed and the buttons urged together to increase the space within the band to move the band beyond a knuckle. Once the band is beyond the knuckle, the spring urges the buttons away from the base to tighten the fit of the ring band around the finger.
Claims13
A ring re-sizing attachment, comprising:
- a base having a bottom surface adapted for appending to an inner circumferential surface of a ring band, and having a top surface;
- at least a first button having a top surface and a first length and first width, and defining an inner volume;
- at least a second button having a top surface and a second length and second width different from the first length and first width, and defining an opening to receive the first button in telescoping relation;
- and
- a conical spring in contact with the top surface of the base and held at least in part in the inner volume, said spring adapted to urge the at least first button and at least second button away from the top surface of the base.
A jewelry ring, comprising:
- a band adapted to fully or substantially fully encircle a user's finger when the jewelry ring is worn, said band defining an inner circumference;
- and
- a first ring re-sizing attachment appended or joined to the inner circumference of the band, said ring re-sizing attachment comprising:
- (i) a base having a bottom surface adapted for appending to an inner circumferential surface of the band, and having a top surface;
- (ii) at least a first button having a top surface and a first length and first width, and defining an inner volume;
- (iii) at least a second button having a top surface and a second length and second width different from the first length and first width, and defining an opening to receive the first button in telescoping relation;
- and (iv) a conical spring in contact with the top surface of the base and held at least in part in the inner volume, said spring adapted to urge the at least first button and at least second button away from the top surface of the base.
