DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0015] Referring to FIGS. 1.about.3, a jewelry and miniature roulette
wheel arrangement in accordance with the first embodiment of the
present invention is shown comprised of a jewelry body 1, a first
rotating wheel 2, a second rotating wheel 3, and an indicator 4.
The indicator 4 is fixedly fastened to the jewelry body 1. The first
rotating wheel 2 is fastened pivotally with the jewelry body 1 and
spaced between the jewelry body 1 and the indicator 4. The second
rotating wheel 3 is fastened pivotally with the jewelry body 1 and
spaced between the jewelry body 1 and the first rotating wheel 2.
The jewelry body 1 may be variously embodied. For example, the jewelry
body 1 can be a fashion ring for mounting on one's finger as an
ornament (see FIG. 1), or a necklace for wearing round the neck
as an ornament (see FIG. 2). The first rotating wheel 2 comprises
a display unit 21 divided into multiple display sectors 22 respectively
marked with a respective numeral or numerical sign 221, and sector
openings 23 spaced around the display unit 21. The second rotating
wheel 3 comprises a display unit 31 divided into multiple display
sectors 32 corresponding to the sector openings 23 of the first
rotating wheel 2 and respectively marked with a respective numeral
or numerical sign 321, and sector openings 33 corresponding to the
display sectors 22 of the display unit 21 of the first rotating
wheel 2. The indicator 4 has a view window 41 through which one
display sector 22 of the first rotating wheel 2 and one display
sector 32 of the second rotating wheel 3 are seen. When the first
rotating wheel 2 and the second rotating wheel 3 are stopped after
having been forced to rotate relative to the jewelry body 1 and
the indicator 4, a particular numeral 221 of the first rotating
wheel 2 and a particular numeral 321 of the second rotating wheel
3 are seen through the view window 41 of the indicator 4 (see FIG.
3).
[0016] FIGS. 4.about.6 show a jewelry and miniature roulette wheel
arrangement in accordance with the second embodiment of the present
invention. This second embodiment is comprised of a jewelry body
1, a first rotating wheel 2, a second rotating wheel 3, and an indicator
4. The jewelry body 1 may be variously embodied. For example, the
jewelry body 1 can be a fashion ring for mounting on one's finger
as an ornament (see FIG. 14), or a necklace for wearing round the
neck as an ornament (see FIG. 5). The jewelry body 1 comprises a
display unit 21 divided into multiple display sectors 22 respectively
marked with a respective numeral or numerical sign 221. The second
rotating wheel 3 comprises a display unit 31 divided into multiple
display sectors 32 and respectively marked with a respective numeral
or numerical sign 321. The indicator 4 has a pointer 41, which indicates
one display sector 22 of the first rotating wheel 2 and one display
sector 32 of the second rotating wheel 3. The first rotating wheel
2 and the second rotating wheel 3 are respectively fastened pivotally
with the jewelry body 1. The display unit 32 of the second rotating
wheel 3 is spaced around the display unit 22 of the first rotating
wheel 2. When the first rotating wheel 2 and the second rotating
wheel 3 are stopped after having been forced to rotate relative
to the jewelry body 1 and the indicator 4, the pointer 41 of the
indicator 4 points out a particular numeral 221 of the first rotating
wheel 2 and a particular numeral 321 of the second rotating wheel
3 (see FIG. 6) FIGS. 7 and 8 show a jewelry and miniature roulette
wheel arrangement in accordance with the third embodiment of the
present invention. This third embodiment is comprised of a jewelry
body 1, a first rotating wheel 2, a second rotating wheel 3, and
an indicator 4. The jewelry body 1 may be variously embodied. For
example, the jewelry body 1 can be a fashion ring for mounting on
one's finger as an ornament. The indicator is a tubular member fixedly
fastened to the jewelry body 1, having a plurality of view windows
41. The first rotating wheel 2 and the second rotating wheel 3 are
respectively fastened pivotally with and received inside the indicator
4, each having a plurality of display units 21 or 31 around the
periphery. Each display unit 21 or 31 is divided into multiple display
sections 22 or 32 respectively marked with a respective numeral
or numerical sign 221 or 321. Through the view windows 41, the sign
221 of one display section 22 of each display unit 21 of the first
rotating wheel 2 and the sign 321 of one display section 32 of each
display unit 31 of the second rotating wheel 3 are seen. When the
first rotating wheel 2 and the second rotating wheel 3 are stopped
after having been forced to rotate relative to the jewelry body
1 and the indicator 4, a particular numeral (or numerical sign)
221 of each display unit 22 of the first rotating wheel 2 and a
particular numeral (or numerical sign) 321 of each display unit
32 of the second rotating wheel 3 are seen through the view windows
41 of the indicator 4.
[0017] Referring to FIG. 9 and FIGS. 1.about.8, the numerals or
numerical signs 221 and 321 can be Arabic numerals, character symbols,
dots, Braille, etc.
