Abstract
The observational data seem to indicate that the upper limit of the dimensions of gaseous rings in Close Binary Systems coincides with the upper boundary of the domain of stability of singly periodic orbits around the component in question. As was shown by Kruszewski, the lower limit is determined by the amount of angular momentum carried by the mass particles ejected near the Lagrangian pointL 1 from the surface of the companion.
