Abstract: A metallic silicone combination ring, comprising a silicone ring and a metallic part. The silicone ring is equipped with a metallic joint, and the metallic part is a split ring, with at least two uniformly distributed connecting holes at both terminals of the metallic part, respectively; the inner wall of the metallic part is in contact with and connected to the outer wall of the metallic joint, and the silicone ring at the two terminals of the metallic joint is equipped with connecting posts that extend into the connecting holes. The combination and interconnectedness of the silicone ring and the metallic part constitute the structure of a closed circular ring, which not only improves the comfort of wearing during exercise and work, but also preserves the metallic texture, while ensuring the strength of the bonding of the silicone split ring and the metallic split ring.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a silicone ring consisting of two outer-band halves formed by compression silicone-molding in a first mold and an inner-band formed by placing half of the outer-bands of the ring in a second mold, placing a spacer-insert mold over the second mold, inserting a silicone rubber in the cavities of a spacer-insert mold, inserting the remaining outer-band halves into a fourth mold, inserting the three molds into a compression chamber to vulcanize the outer-band halves and the inner-band together, wherein the first and second outer-bands form a complete ring, and a symmetrical inner-band is formed in between the first and second outer-band halves.
