Abstract

Polymeric rings may be provided with an inner band formed of a polymeric material; and an outer band attached to the inner band and defining a channel about an inner circumference thereof, such that the inner band is uniformly disposed within the channel. In some embodiments, the outer band has a first outer diameter and a first inner diameter and defines a channel of a channel diameter, greater than the first inner diameter, in an inner surface of the outer band, the channel having a cross-sectional shape and a mating surface; and an inner band having a second outer diameter substantially equal to the channel diameter and a second inner diameter substantially equal to the first inner diameter, the inner band having the cross-sectional shape, the inner band being disposed in the channel and having a roughened outer surface attached to the mating surface of the channel.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention is claimed as follows: 
     
         1 . A ring, comprising:
 an inner band formed of a polymeric material; and   an outer band attached to the inner band and defining a channel about an inner circumference thereof, such that the inner band is uniformly disposed within the channel.   
     
     
         2 . The ring of  claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of the inner band is textured to have a non-smooth surface prior to attachment with the outer band. 
     
     
         3 . The ring of  claim 1 , wherein an inner surface of the outer band is textured to have a non-smooth surface prior to attachment with the inner band. 
     
     
         4 . The ring of  claim 1 , wherein the outer band is attached to the inner band by over-molding the outer band around the inner band. 
     
     
         5 . The ring of  claim 1  wherein the outer band is attached to the inner band by heat welding the outer band around the inner band. 
     
     
         6 . The ring of  claim 1 , wherein the outer band is made of the polymeric material. 
     
     
         7 . The ring of  claim 1  wherein the inner band has a first color or pattern of colors and the outer band has a second color or pattern of colors, different from the first color or pattern of colors. 
     
     
         8 . The ring of  claim 1  wherein the inner band defines a grooved inner surface. 
     
     
         9 . The ring of  claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional shape of the inner band and the channel defined about an inner circumference of the outer band is substantially rectangular. 
     
     
         10 . A ring, comprising:
 an outer band formed of a polymeric material; and   an inner band, attached uniformly to the outer band within a channel defined on an inner surface of the outer band.   
     
     
         11 . The ring of  claim 10 , wherein an outer surface of the inner band is textured to have a non-smooth surface prior to attachment with the outer band. 
     
     
         12 . The ring of  claim 10 , wherein an inner surface of the outer band is textured to have a non-smooth surface prior to attachment with the inner band. 
     
     
         13 . The ring of  claim 10 , wherein the outer band is attached to the inner band by over-molding the outer band around the inner band. 
     
     
         14 . The ring of  claim 10 , wherein the outer band is attached to the inner band by heat welding the outer band around the inner band. 
     
     
         15 . The ring of  claim 10 , wherein the outer band is made of the polymeric material. 
     
     
         16 . The ring of  claim 10 , wherein the inner band has a first color or pattern of colors and the outer band has a second color or pattern of colors, different from the first color or pattern of colors. 
     
     
         17 . The ring of  claim 10 , wherein the inner band defines a grooved inner surface. 
     
     
         18 . The ring of  claim 10 , wherein a cross-sectional shape of the inner band and the channel defined about an inner circumference of the outer band is substantially rectangular. 
     
     
         19 . A ring, comprising:
 an outer band having a first outer diameter and a first inner diameter and defining a channel of a channel diameter, greater than the first inner diameter, in an inner surface of the outer band, the channel having a cross-sectional shape and a mating surface; and   an inner band having a second outer diameter substantially equal to the channel diameter and a second inner diameter substantially equal to the first inner diameter, the inner band being formed of a polymeric material and having the cross-sectional shape, the inner band being disposed in the channel and having a roughened outer surface attached to the mating surface of the channel.   
     
     
         20 . The ring of  claim 19 , wherein the outer band is attached to the inner band by over-molding the outer band around the inner band.
