Abstract
An ornamental finger ring having in-built adjusting means enclosed within an interior slot in the shank and movable therein to constrict the opening and provide a plurality of selectable smaller finger openings to insure a snug fit and concurrently preserve the external appearance and contour of the ring. The adjusting means is a U-shaped finger-contacting member with resilient upper arms. Coacting means are on the ring and arms for adjustably latching the member in position. A tab at the member bight extends to the outside of the ring for manual manipulation, and the tab may have a slot dividing it at the part proximal to the bight to enhance its yieldability and make assembly into the ring less likely to permanently deform the member. Wendel shows a ring with a shank including an adjustable U-shaped member.
