Patent number: 6886363Abstract: A ring allowing a longer length of an arm attached to a ring main body is provided. The tilted ring is tiltingly attached to the ring main body. The tilted ring is in an ellipse shape, and the major axis of the ellipse projected on the plane where the ring main body exists is longer than the diameter of the ring main body. Thus, if the ring main body is worn on the finger on which a wedding ring or the like is already worn, the tilted ring does not interfere with the wedding ring. Thus, since the tilted ring can extend downward in addition to upward of the ring main body, the tilted ring can be longer, and the esthetic appearance increases.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2003Date of Patent: May 3, 2005Assignee: Jewel Karati Inc.Inventor: Masatsugu Hara

Patent number: 6497117Abstract: A jewelry ring assembly includes a base ring having an annular channel on its outer surface and a retained ring disposed in that channel to be freely rotatable about the base ring and capable of wobbling in the channel. The base ring is a single piece of metal and its retaining channel is smoothly concave in width between raised annular edges. The base ring is formed from a cylindrical blank initially having a constant outside diameter across its width, which diameter is smaller than the retained ring inside diameter. The method of fabricating the ring assembly begins with flaring one edge radially outward to a final diameter larger than the retained ring inside diameter. The retained ring is moved over the unflared edge, after which that edge is also flared to the final diameter. Enlarging the annular edges in separate steps permits the base ring to be formed from a single piece of metal while presenting a retaining channel having a smooth concave width.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2001Date of Patent: December 24, 2002Inventor: Gabriel D. Ofiesh, II
