Abstract:
A device as utilized in conjunction with a finger ring for purposes of securement of the ring upon the finger of the wearer includes a size-reducing element configured for fitting within the opening of the ring for interposition between an inner peripheral surface of the opening and a palmer surface of the finger. A hinge arrangement is provided for securement to an outer peripheral surface of the ring, there being an arm engaging said element and the hinge structure. The arm is pivotally secured with respect to the hinge structure to provide pivoting movement of the size-reducing element between an open position, permitting unencumbered insertion of the finger within the opening, and a closed position, wherein the size-reducing element is located within the opening for substantially preventing the ring from being withdrawn from the finger. The device is equipped for resiliently retaining the size-reducing element in the closed position.
