Abstract:
A finger ring fitting aid for attachment to a finger ring having a shank, an opening for the reception of a wearer's finger, and a central axis aligned along an axial direction in which the finger is to be received within the opening, the finger ring fitting aid enabling selective unrestricted access to the opening for placement of the ring on the finger and subsequent constriction of the opening to facilitate appropriate fitting of the ring to the finger, the finger ring fitting aid comprising:a sizing member having at least one arcuate arm for location within the opening of the ring to constrict the opening to a fitted size; a mount for attachment to the shank of the ring; a coupler coupling the sizing member with the mount for movement of the arcuate arm between a first position outside the opening, enabling unrestricted access to the opening for reception of the finger within the opening, and a second position inside the opening, wherein the arcuate arm constricts the opening to the fitted size; and a resilient biasing mechanism for selectively resiliently biasing the arcuate arm into either one of the first and second positions so as to facilitate placement of the ring on the finger when the arcuate arm is biased into the first position, and appropriate fitting of the ring to the finger when the arcuate arm is biased into the second position.
