Spring ring adjuster
First Claim
1. An attachment device for a ring of substantially circular contour having a central region and interior and exterior surfaces, said device comprising:
- a) a clamp of monolithic construction fabricated from a piece of thin sheet stock of a malleable metal and having a base portion elongated between first and second extremities and adapted to be bent so as to lie against said interior surface in close conformity therewith, at least two gripping portions extending codirectionally and perpendicularly from said base portion adjacent the extremities thereof and adapted to be bent so as to embrace the exterior surface of the ring, and a bracket portion extending perpendicularly from said base portion adjacent said second extremity and in a direction opposite to the direction of the gripping portions,b) an elongated spring having a proximal extremity secured to said bracket portion, and a free distal extremity, said spring extending coextensively with said base portion and configured to exert force in a first mode of motion toward said central region, andc) a resilient sleeve disposed upon said spring.

Abstract
An attachment device for a finger ring for improving the fit of the ring is constructed from a clamp, an elongated spring secured by the clamp, and a resilient sleeve disposed upon the spring. The clamp is of monolithic construction, fabricated from a piece of thin sheet stock of a malleable metal and having a base portion elongated between two extremities and adapted to be bent so as to lie against the interior surface of the ring. At least two gripping portions extend from the extremities of the base portion. A bracket portion, which secures the spring, extends from one extremity of the base portion in a direction opposite to the gripping portions.
