Nov. 24, 1936. J. GRANAT 2 RING Filed April 15, 1936 IN V EN TOR.

A TTORNEY Patented Nov. 24, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Application April 13,

1 Claim.

This invention relates to improvements in rings and has particular reference to finger rings.

The principal object of this invention is to provide means for locking adjacent rings so that they will not be subject to axial rotation with respect to each other.

A further object is to employ the natural contour of a ring setting in order to effect this locking.

A further object is to produce a device of this character which will be neat in appearance and wherein the locking feature will add to the combined effect of producing an ornamental configuration pleasing to the eye.

A further object is to produce a ring ensemble which may be economically manufactured.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,

Fig. 1 is a top plan view of the two rings in close proximity to each other; and

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of my ring ensemble having the two parts separated.

It is common practice for persons to wear two rings, one an engagement ring, and the other, a wedding ring. These rings are both worn upon the same finger, and due to the heavy nature of the top of the ring, the same are unbalanced and, therefore, tend to turn on the finger.

The engagement ring has usually a single dia mond in the center of the top with a series of other stones to the sides thereof. These diamonds are usually set so that the mounting is flushed on the sides of the ring, and, consequently, the adjacent wedding ring lies in close proximity to the diamond mounting. I have proposed to turn the diamond mounting upon an angle of 45 so that the mounting will project on opposite sides of the ring. This projection enables me to form around the same an ornamental engagement ring.

In the accompanying drawing wherein for the 1936, Serial No. 74,168

purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, it will be noted that the numeral 5 designates the shank of the engagement ring, which carries a segment 6 corresponding to the segment covered by my Patent 5 No. 1,792,422, and that I have shown a diamond setting I which is angularly disposed with relation to the sides of the ring, with the result that projections 8 and 9 extend outwardly, the purpose of which will be directly seen.

The numeral ll designates the shank of a wedding ring having a segment top l2 similar to the segment top 6 but provided with the customary small stones common to wedding rings. This segment top is provided with indentations l3 and 15 M of the same angular relation as that of the projections 8 and 9, the result being that when the two rings are brought into engagement one with the other, one of the projections, for instance, the projection 9, will come to rest in the indentation I4, and when so positioned upon the finger, these rings will be virtually locked against movement with relation to each other.

It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same and that various changes relative to the material, size, shape and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claim.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:--

In a ring ensemble of the character described,

a pair of rings adapted to be placed in axial alignment one with the other, one of said rings having a stone bearing setting rectangular in shape and 3 angularly disposed with relation to the sides of said ring, whereby said setting projects from the sides of said ring, the top of said setting being in the same plane as the outer periphery of the other of said rings, the other of said rings having 40 indentations on the sides thereof to engage the projecting setting of the adjacent ring, both sides of each of said rings being identical in their individual contour.
