Claims
- 1. An ornamental ring removably attachable to at least two adjacent digits comprising:
- an ornament;
- attachment means for attaching the ornament to the two adjacent digits;
- said attachment means including a wire-like element including first and second hooks and a reverse bend portion;
- each of said hooks having an inner end and an outer end, said reverse bend portion joining said hooks at said inner ends;
- each of said hooks including a digit embracing section;
- said attachment means including means for mounting said ornament on said reverse bend portion of said hooks with said hooks being on the same side of said ornament;
- said digit embracing sections extending generally away from each other so that said digit embracing sections can embrace the two adjacent digits, respectively, each of said digit embracing sections extending circumferentially for less than 360.degree.; and
- said reverse bend portion offsetting said inner ends of said hooks and at least substantial portions of said digit embracing sections in a direction generally axially of the hooks.
- 2. An ornamental ring as defined in claim 1 wherein said wire-like element is bendable.
- 3. An ornamental ring as defined in claim 1 wherein said mounting means mounts the ornament so that it is inclined upwardly as it extends rearwardly from the mounting means and downwardly as it extends forwardly from the mounting means when the ornamental ring is on the two digits.
- 4. An ornamental ring as defined in claim 1 wherein said two adjacent digits have confronting sides which confront each other and remote sides which are relatively remote from each other, each of said hooks includes a stem terminating in said inner end of the associated hook between said confronting sides when the ornamental ring is attached to the two digits, one of the digits has a three o'clock position on the confronting side thereof, a nine o'clock position on the remote side thereof, and a six o'clock position halfway between said three o'clock position and said nine o'clock position as such digit is viewed in end elevation, the digit embracing section which embraces said one digit being adapted to extend no farther around the remote side of said one digit than about said nine o'clock position.
- 5. An ornamental ring as defined in claim 4 wherein the digit embracing section which embraces said one digit is adapted to extend to at least about said six o'clock position.
- 6. An ornamental ring as defined in claim 5 wherein at least portions of each of said digit embracing sections are arcuate.
- 7. An ornamental ring as defined in claim 1 wherein said mounting means mounts the ornament on the reverse bend portion for limited pivotal movement about an axis which extends generally transverse to the axes of the hooks.
- 8. An ornamental ring as defined in claim 1 wherein said mounting means mounts the ornament on said reverse bend portion at an angle so that the ornament extends upwardly as it extends rearwardly of the mounting means.
- 9. An ornamental ring as defined in claim 1 wherein said reverse bend portion is inclined upwardly as it extends rearwardly to thereby incline the ornament upwardly as it extends rearwardly of the reverse bend portion.
- 10. An ornamental ring as defined in claim 1 wherein said reverse bend portion extends generally axially between said inner ends of said hooks and integrally joins said inner ends of said hooks.
