Abstract:
1. A ring comprising at least three rigid, inflexible body components each having one or both of integral portions and openings, the ring having both an assembled state and a disassembled state, the assembled state characterized by the interrelationship of the at least three rigid, inflexible body components via the sliding receipt of the integral portions in the openings to define the ring, and the disassembled state characterized by the complete separation of all of the at least three rigid, inflexible body components from each other; wherein the assembled state of the ring is characterized in that: wherein the at least three body components are configured so that said single one of the rigid, inflexible body components must be the first component to be separated from the other rigid, inflexible body components when transitioning from the assembled state to the disassembled state of the ring; wherein the at least three rigid, inflexible body components are configured so that said single one of the rigid, inflexible body components must be moved into the area of the bounded opening in order to transition from the assembled state to the disassembled state of the ring, and only when the wearer's finger is not positioned in the bounded opening; and wherein the ring can be repeatedly selectively transitioned between the assembled and disassembled states thereof.
