Abstract

A device adaptable to any ring, wedding ring or band, wherein the band (wedding ring or the like) is bored with at least a hole right through the whole cross-section. The hole(s) is (are) bored such that the remaining thickness is slight whatever the direction of the hole(s) relative to the band cross-section. The device is applicable in all cases where the calibration of the breaking strength on a band (wedding ring or the like) is useful.

Description

La présente invention concerne un procédé adaptable à tout corps de bague, alliance ou anneau.The present invention relates to a method adaptable to any ring body, alliance or ring.

Ce dispositif permet la rupture de l'anneau au-delà d'un certain seuil de traction sur celui-ci.This device allows the rupture of the ring beyond a certain traction threshold thereon.

Dans l'anneau est pratiqué au moins un trou traversant la section de part en part, lequel sera bouché par une section de fil ajustée et stabilisée.At least one hole is made in the ring crossing the entire section, which will be blocked by an adjusted and stabilized section of wire.

Il est connu, du brevet américain US 2 458 645 de réaliser des trous dans un corps de bague, alliance ou anneau et de le reboucher par la suite. Toutefois, cette opération n'a qu'un but esthétique. Il n'est nullement fait référence, dans ce document, à une quelconque possibilité d'utiliser des facultés de rupture modifiées de l'anneau ayant subi une telle opération.It is known from US Patent 2,458,645 to make holes in a ring body, alliance or ring and fill it up afterwards. However, this operation has only an aesthetic purpose. It is by no means done reference in this document to any possibility to use modified breaking properties of the ring having undergone such an operation.

Il est également connu du modèle d'utilité allemand DE 296 04 402, de réaliser un anneau présentant des moyens permettant d'appliquer l'anneau contre le corps et ne permettant plus de l'enlever par la suite, sauf à le détruire. Pour ce faire, l'anneau comporte des moyens de rupture formés préférentiellement d'entailles.It is also known from the utility model German DE 296 04 402, to make a ring presenting means for applying the ring against the body and no longer allowing it to be removed later, except on destroy. To do this, the ring includes means of rupture preferably formed by notches.

Ce procédé est applicable dans tous les cas où le calibrage de la force de rupture par traction sur un anneau est utile.This process is applicable in all cases where the calibration of the tensile breaking force on a ring is useful.

Il est particulièrement adapté à la prévention des accidents graves par arrachement liés au port des alliances.It is particularly suitable for prevention serious uprooting accidents linked to the wearing of alliances.

L'invention concerne un procédé adaptable à tout corps de bague, alliance ou anneau conforme à la revendication 1.The invention relates to a method adaptable to any ring body, alliance or ring conforming to the claim 1.

Le(s) trou(s) est (sont) pratiqué(s) de manière à ce que l'épaisseur restante soit faible et ce, quelle que soit la direction du (des) trou(s) par rapport à la section de l'anneau.The hole (s) is (are) made in a way that the remaining thickness is small and this, whatever either the direction of the hole (s) relative to the section of the ring.

Le trou pratiqué dans la section de l'anneau, se verra dans un deuxième temps bouché par une section de fil de même dimension que le trou pratiqué dans l'anneau.The hole made in the section of the ring, will then be blocked by a section of wire of the same dimension as the hole made in the ring.

La section de fil une fois placée dans le trou pratiqué dans la section de l'anneau sera ensuite ajustée et stabilisée à l'intérieur même de celui-ci.The wire section when placed in the hole practiced in the ring section will then be adjusted and stabilized inside of it.

Claims (6)

  1. Process adaptable to any ring (wedding ring or other type of ring) of the type in which at least one hole is formed in the ring passing through the section from one side to the other, which will subsequently be closed off by a section with the same size as the hole formed in the ring, characterized in that the hole(s) is (are) formed such that the remaining thickness is small, and that the ring will break if the tension applied to it exceeds a given limit.
  2. Process according to claim 1, characterized in that the direction of the hole(s) with respect to the section of the ring is arbitrary.
  3. Process according to either of claims 1 and 2, characterized in that the hole(s) passing through the section of the ring from one side to the other and subsequently being closed off, is (are) closed off by a wire with a section that is subsequently adjusted and stabilized on the inside of the hole(s).
  4. Process according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that it is used in all cases in which it is useful to control the tensile breaking force on a ring.
  5. Process according to any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that it is particularly useful to prevent serious accidents by tearing caused by wearing of rings.
  6. Device, and particularly any ring, wedding ring or other type of ring made using the process according to any one of claims 1 to 5.
