#$%^&*AU2013100222A420130328.pdf#####ABSTRACT Joint Support Rings are functional pieces of jewellery designed to assist persons with low grade finger joint deformities to effectively splint the finger and joint in order to straighten the finger out. At the same time the support or splint looks like a fashionable piece of jewellery. This is not a medical aid or device and as such does not purport to be a medical device of any sort. Each ring design supports the joint to assist with straightening as well as still providing a range of movement in order to not hinder the wearer. The rings would commonly be made of sterling silver for strength and cost effectiveness but gold is also an acceptable medium. Rings would have to be individually commissioned as sizing and design positioning will differ for each wearer.-4- N C- -~ 1 >-i-C - 1. Y 7 Di 5 tO V/fr
