ABSTRACT:
A ring including a pair of semi-circular sections. The sections are pivotally connected to each other so that they can be pivoted apart to open the ring. The ring is secured together via latch means. One section of the ring is arcuate in shape and has an arcuate extending member projecting therefrom and adapted to enter and move through a mating recess formed in the other section. A primary locking spring is connected to the extending member and includes a portion adapted to engage a wall portion in the recess of the other section to lock the two sections together. An aperture is provided in the recess to enable the spring to disengaged, via the insertion of a sharply pointed instrument therethrough, thereby enabling the two sections to pivot outward with respect to each other to partially open the ring. A secondary locking spring is also mounted on the extension and is arranged to engage the wall portion contiguous with the opening to prevent the two sections from opening further until the pointed instrument is again inserted through the aperture to the deflect the second spring out of engagement with the wall portion, thereby enabling the two sections to be fully opened. When fully opened the ring can be placed about the finger of a person whose knuckle would otherwise be too large to enable a circular ring to be slid thereover. The two springs thus serve as releasable securement means preventing the accidental disconnection of the ring from the finger.
