Openable ring, particularly for jewelry, goldwork, costume jewelry and the like

Abstract

An openable ring, particularly for jewelry, goldwork, costume jewelry and the like, includes at least two annular portions: a first annular portion and a second annular portion, which are connected to each other at one end by means of at least one hinge, and are suitable, at the other end, to be associated by way of closure elements. The closure elements include opening elements which protrude from the outer surface of one of the two annular portions.

         9 . An openable ring, particularly for jewelry, goldwork, costume jewelry and the like, the openable ring comprising at least two annular portions: a first annular portion and a second annular portion, which are connected to each other at one end by means of at least one hinge, and are suitable, at the other end, to be associated by way of elastic closure means, wherein said elastic closure means comprise opening means which protrude from the outer surface of one of said at least two annular portions. 
     
     
         10 . The openable ring according to  claim 9 , wherein said elastic closure means comprise at least one male element, on said first annular portion, which can be mated detachably with a female element on said second annular portion. 
     
     
         11 . The openable ring according to  claim 10 , wherein said male element comprises a lamina, which protrudes from the free end of said first annular portion and has a part that is bent along a direction which is transverse with respect to the longitudinal direction of the ring, said bent part being elastically deformable, along said transverse direction, from a locking position to an insertion/extraction position. 
     
     
         12 . The openable ring according to  claim 11 , wherein said opening means comprise a pin which is associated with said bent part of said lamina and can be mated, in the closed position of the ring, with a hole defined on the surface of said second annular portion. 
     
     
         13 . The openable ring according to  claim 9 , wherein the openable ring comprises safety means for the accidental opening of said elastic closure means. 
     
     
         14 . The openable ring according to  claim 13 , wherein said safety means comprise an abutment element for said bent part in said locking position, said abutment element being defined in a seat which is internal to said female element. 
     
     
         15 . The openable ring according to  claim 14 , wherein said seat comprises an insertion slot for said lamina in the insertion/extraction position. 
     
     
         16 . The openable ring according to  claim 14 , wherein the openable ring comprises at least one vibration-preventing tooth, which is defined in said seat and acts as an abutment for at least one portion of the free end of said bent part.
