FINGER RING.

Application filed February 29, 1924. Serial No. 696,052.

other ring, such as a wedding ring, may be attached thereto to form a single article of jewelry.

Ordinarily engagement rings and wedding rings are worn on a single. linger as separate articles, but as the .mounting of the engagement ring is relatively large in cross section as compared to the band portion thereof, the wedding ring will not lie 5 snugly against the engagement ring. with the result that the rings occupy too much space on the finger and mar the ornamental effect desired. In additionto this objection, the contrast between the plain wedding ring and the more ornamental engagement ring is too great. 7

By my invention it is possible to combine a wedding ring and an engagement ring in such manner that they may be worn with comfort, and the beauty of the engagement ring is not detracted from by the presence of the wedding ring, while at the same time the wedding ring is easily discernible upon close inspection.

One form which my invention may take is shown in the accompanying drawing wherein Fig. l is a view, in side elevation, of an engagement ring embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a View thereof, in edge elevation; Fig. 3- is a view similar to Fig.

for example, may be so formed that an-' 2, particularly in section; Fig. a is a side elevational view, in sect ion; Fig. 5 is aview of the wedding ring, and Figs. 6 and 7 are, respectively, sectlonal views in side and edge elevation, of the rings in assembled relation.

While my invention is shown and described asapplied to wedding and engagement rings particularly I do not limit myself to the employment thereof in connection with only those specific types of rings.

The engagement ring mg portion 2 and a ba consists of a mountnd portion 3 that is composed of spaced portions 4 and 5 which, at the time the ring 1s formed, are connected by a tie or lug portion 6, the portions 4:

and 5 being ordinarily formed by slitting the band-member 3 but leaving the portion 6 to serveas a support tions 4 and 5 until the for the divided sectime when it is deresponding surfaces of 5wh'en in assembled position.

the members 4: and

The tie portion 6, while sufiicient to support the divided portionset and 5, is of such small cross section that it may be readily cut away at the time of the wedding to permit insertion of the wedding ring. What I claim is:

1. A ring provided with amounting pornnular portions 111- tion, axially spaced a tegral with said ring,

and a lug of small cross sectional area uniting said annular portions at a point substantlally diametrically opposite to said 111 ounting portion.

- 2. A ring comprising axially spaced an nular portions perman point, and a lug for e-ntly united at one temporarily uniting said "portions at a point substantially dia metrically opposite to said first-named point.

In testimony whereof I, the said JOHN KRAUs, have hereunto s et my hand.

JOHN KRAUS.
