ABSTRACT:
A finger ring counting device enables persons to accurately count prayers while saying the Rosary. The counting device is embodied in a ring structure which can be inconspicuously worn on the hand, and on which there are a number of beads which are manually movable around the circumference of the ring for counting. The device includes a finger ring having a continuous outwardly facing surface and a continuous circumferential channel formed in the outwardly facing surface. Eleven spherical beads are slidably captured within the channel where they are slidably movable around the outside of the ring. The counting device further includes a gate structure including a body portion having a bottom wall which straddles the channel and a top wall constructed and arranged for receiving an ornamental element thereon. The bottom wall cooperates with the aid channel to form a passage through which the beads slidably pass. The gate structure further includes a resilient spring arm mounted on the bottom wall of the body portion that extends downwardly from the bottom wall into the channel to selectively restrict passage of the beads from an entrance side of the gate structure to an exit side. In use, the operator manually urges one bead at a time from the entrance side past the resilient spring arm to the exit side.
