Abstract (en)
A finger ring (10) made of two arcuate segments (12,14) hinged together at one end (16,20) of the segments are adapted to be locked with a clasp (32) at the other end (18,22). The clasp (32) is hingedly mounted on one segment and adapted to hook onto a transversal rod (44) fixed on the other segment. A circumferential leaf spring (62) fixed on the one segment adjacent the clasp (32), resiliently maintains the clasp (32) in a position projecting at the free end of the one segment. Another similar leaf spring (78) is positioned at the hinged end of the segments for resiliently maintaining the latter in a substantially circular relationship and firms up the action to snap open and snap shut the segments.
