  • Publication number: 20020178749
    Abstract: Arcuate pivotally movable members and an arcuate slidable member are assembled so that guide pins provided in the arcuate pivotally movable members are inserted into the guide groove formed in the arcuate slidable member. The arcuate pivotally movable members and the arcuate bearing member are assembled by pivotal pins so that the arcuate pivotally movable members can pivotally move around the pivotal pins in directions to enlarge an inner size of the finger ring. The arcuate bearing member has a leaf spring provided therein so that the leaf spring has one end pressed against an inner side of a projection projecting from a first end of one of the arcuate pivotally movable members and located ahead of the pivotal pin in the one arcuate pivotally movable member, and the leaf spring has the other end pressed against an inner side of a projection projecting from a first end of the other arcuate pivotally movable member and located ahead of the pivotal pin in the other arcuate pivotally movable member.
