Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to rings, more particularly, to toe and finger rings that are size-adjustable and comfortable to wear. [0002] Toe rings have recently become one of the hottest accessories a person can wear. Typically worn while wearing sandals, flip-flops or sans shoes, toe rings allow a person to decorate his or her toes while showing off his or her own individual style. The rings may be as simplistic as a simple inexpensive band or as ornate as being made of a precious metal and having precious stones. [0003] However, many individuals find wearing toe rings currently on the market uncomfortable and difficult to wear. Although some toe rings are advertised as one size fits all, essentially this only means that unless your toe is the perfect width for the band of the toe ring, the toe ring is either going to be too loose and slide around on your toe or it is going to be too tight and cut off circulation to your toe. If the ring band is made of metal, the metal can dig into the wearer's toe. If the band is made of elastic, the elastic often digs into the toe and, in addition to leaving unsightly marks, causes pain. In any case, the wearing of this type of toe ring is uncomfortable and troublesome. [0004] Thus, it would make sense to a consumer to purchase an adjustable toe ring so as to have the perfect fit. However, as most adjustable toe rings are made of metal and are formed of a pliable metal having two ends, a person must squeeze the ends of the ring together. In many instances, the ring is squeezed too tight so as a fleshy part of the toe is caught between the two ends, thus causing the wearer pain. If the ring is not squeezed tight enough, once again, the ring will slide around on the wearer's toe. Not only is the sliding of the ring uncomfortable and painful, but it can also be unattractive as the decorative stone or element intended to be visible from above is now located on the side of the toe or, even worse, on the bottom of the toe. [0005] Thus, a need exists for a toe ring that permits a person to a person to wear the ring in comfort. [0006] The relevant prior art includes the following references: TABLE-US-00001 U.S. Pat.
