Abstract

A combination finger and ring sizing device consists of a planular plastic body having a first portion with a plurality of openings formed therein and a second elongated portion that is integrally joined with the first portion and that extends outwardly therefrom terminating in a free end. The openings in the first portion sequentially graduate in diametrical size and define graduated ring sizes. The openings are identified as to ring size by indicia imprinted adjacent to the openings. The elongated second portion is formed with a tapered configuration that extends away from the free end of thereof and it includes a plurality of imprinted indicia designating ring sizes.

Claims

1. A finger and ring sizing device comprising a one-piece planular body that includes a first body portion that is defined by spaced narrow strips that are interconnected at adjacent ends thereof by a narrow interconnecting strip, a plurality of circular openings being formed in said narrow and interconnecting strips, said openings graduating in diametrical size and defining sequentially graduated ring sizes and being formed in said narrow strips so that each opening has open areas at the sides thereof, wherein any one of the openings in the first body portion is slidable over a selected finger without having to bend backwardly the fingers that are adjacent to said selected finger, said openings being identified as to ring size by indicia imprinted on said first body portion adjacent to said openings, wherein a user'"'"'s ring size for said selected finger is obtained by the user inserting the selected finger in successive openings until a proper fit is obtained, thereby indicating the correct ring size for the selected finger, said body further including a second elongated body portion that is integrally joined to one of said narrow strips of said first body portion and that extends outwardly therefrom and terminating in a free end, said second elongated body portion being formed with an increasing tapered configuration that extends away from the free end thereof, and ring size indicia imprinted on said second tapered body portion for designating ring sizes, wherein the size of a shank of a selected finger ring is determined by mounting the ring shank on said second tapered body portion and moving it to the innermost possible position at which the corresponding indicia designates the size of the ring shank being measured.

2. The finger and ring sizing device as claimed in claim 1 said one-piece planular body being formed of a flexible plastic material.
