BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2
As shown in, the accessory 1 of the present embodiment includes the ornamental cord-shaped body 2, the first locking means, and the second locking means. The string-like body 2 may have any shape as long as both ends thereof are separably connected by the joint 3 to form an annular shape, and the shape can be freely changed by bending. As one of them, here
A so-called chain for wearing, in which a large number of rings 4 made of a metal such as a noble metal are connected, is used as the string-like body 2. The ring 4 is preferably plated, worked, or variously modified from the viewpoint of decorative effect.

The first locking means comprises a first movable partition body 5, and the second locking means comprises a second movable partition body 6. Both movable partition bodies 5 and 6 have the same structure, and the back of the hand 7
It is attached to the string-like body 2 on the side so that the position can be adjusted. In each of the movable partition bodies 5 and 6, at least a contact portion with the string-shaped body 2 is formed of a material softer than the string-shaped body 2. Here, as each of the movable partition bodies 5 and 6, one composed of a main body portion 8 having a cylindrical shape with both ends open and an elastic annular member 9 is used. In order to improve the decorativeness of the movable partitions 5 and 6, a plurality of annular projections 8a are provided on the outer periphery of the main body 8, and the entire main body 8 including the annular projections 8a is plated. Has been done. For the same purpose, a jewel may be attached to the main body portion 8 or the main body portion 8 itself may be made of a jewel or a precious metal.

The elastic annular member 9 is made of an elastic material such as rubber and is inserted into the main body portion 8 in a flattened state, and both end portions 9a thereof are exposed from the main body portion 8. That is, two annular portions having a diameter smaller than the original diameter of the elastic annular member 9 are formed on both sides of the body portion 8. The string-like body 2 is passed through both ends 9a of these small diameters. Specifically, the string-like body 2 which is made linear by the separation at the joint 3 portion is passed through the end portions 9a of all the elastic annular members 9, and then connected again by the joint 3 to form an annular shape. The cord-shaped body 2 is partitioned by the movable partition bodies 5 and 6 into the intermediate portion 10 and the first hook portion 11 and the second hook portion 12 located on both sides of the intermediate portion 10.

When the accessory 1 constructed as described above is attached, for example, a ring 12a is formed in the second hooking portion 12 and the hand is second hooked from the front to the back in FIG. Pass through the portion (including the ring 12a) 12 and insert the desired finger (the middle finger 1 in the figure).
3) through the first hook portion 11 from the back to the front in the figure. Then, the first movable partition body 5 is moved along the string-like body 2 to near the root of the middle finger 13. Similarly, the second movable partition body 6 is moved along the string-like body 2 to near the wrist 14. Then, the intermediate portion 10 is placed on the back 7 of the hand, and the first hooking portion 11 wraps around from the back 7 side to the palm side to be hooked on the middle finger 13. In the second hooking portion 12, the ring 12a is wrapped around the wrist 14, and the other portion wraps around from the back 7 side to the palm side and is hooked on the wrist 14. When the movable partition bodies 5 and 6 are moved, since the elastic annular member 9 has flexibility, the string-shaped body 2 is not likely to be damaged or worn.

When the accessory 1 is attached as described above, the middle finger 13 is decorated with the first hook portion 11 and the wrist 14 is decorated with the second hook portion 12. Not only that, the instep 7 which occupies a large area in the hand is decorated by the intermediate portion 10 and the movable partition bodies 5 and 6. In particular, if the second movable partition body 6 is separated from the first movable partition body 5 as much as possible, the second hooking portion 12 is tightly attached to the wrist 14. Further, since the intermediate portion 10 becomes long and extends along the line connecting the wrist 14 and the middle finger 13, the instep 7 can be made to look beautiful and thin.

Further, since the first movable partition body 5 is moved near the middle finger 13 and the second movable partition body 6 is moved near the wrist 14, the respective hook portions 11, 12 are appropriately sized. , That is, the target part of the latch (middle finger 13, wrist 1
Since the size is about the same as the thickness of 4), the hook portions 11 and 12 are unlikely to be displaced, drooped, or fall out from the target portion. Further, even if the cord-like body 2 expands, it is only a portion between the movable partition bodies 5 and 6, that is, the intermediate portion 10. The first hook portion 11 and the second hook portion 1
2 has little room for deformation. Therefore, as compared with the case where the accessory 1 is configured only by the string-shaped body 2 without using the movable partitions 5 and 6, and the case where one of the movable partitions 5 (or 6) is omitted, the string-shaped body 2 spreads. Is low. Since both movable partition bodies 5 and 6 are located on the instep 7, the expanded middle part 10 is unlikely to drop from the instep 7 or droop,
There is no fear of making it look bad.

From the state shown in FIG. 2, the second movable partition 6 is moved to the first position.
Move slightly to the movable partition 5 side, and the ring 1 of the second hook 12
When 2a is slightly moved in the same direction, the intermediate portion 10 becomes shorter and the second hook portion 12 becomes loose as shown in FIG. Further, from the state of FIG. 2, the second movable partition body 6 is slightly moved to the first movable partition body 5 side, and the ring 12 of the second hooking portion 12 is moved.
When a is slightly moved in the opposite direction, as shown in FIG.
The intermediate portion 10 is shortened, and the second hooking portion 12 is in a tensioned state. Furthermore, when both movable partition bodies 5 and 6 are moved from the state of FIG. 2 to the vicinity of the center of the instep 7, the intermediate portion 10 is further shortened and both the hook portions 11 and 12 are loosened, as shown in FIG. It becomes a state. In this way, each movable partition 5, 6 and ring 1
By moving 2a, it is possible to change the form (shape) of the string-shaped body 2 in various manners with one accessory 1 and give a different impression to the viewer.

By the way, although a ring has been conventionally well known as a jewelry for fingers, since the diameter of the ring is constant, the fingers and persons who can wear the ring are limited. Also, even if the size of the ring matches the thickness of the finger,
When wearing thin gloves for parties and the like, it is difficult to put a ring on the gloves. The same applies to bracelets. If you wear gloves with only the ring and bracelet attached, the ring and bracelet will be hidden. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, it is possible to change the size of the hook portions 11 and 12 by moving the movable partition bodies 5 and 6. Therefore, the accessory 1 can be worn on any finger, any person, or even with gloves on. In addition, the movable partition bodies 5 and 6 can be formed with a small number of parts of the main body portion 8 and the elastic annular member 9 and with a simple configuration in which the elastic annular member 9 is inserted into the main body portion 8. .

6 and 7 show another wearing state of the accessory 1. In FIG. 6, the first hook portion 11 is wound around the middle finger 13. In this mounting state, for example, a ring 11a is formed in the first hooking portion 11 and a hand is passed through the second hooking portion (including the ring 12a) 12 from the front to the back in FIG.
The middle finger 13 is passed through the first hooking portion (including the ring 11a) 11 from the back of the figure toward the front, and both movable partition bodies 5 and 6 are moved to appropriate positions. In this case, the ring 11a is the middle finger 13
Since the first hooking portion 11 is more closely attached to the first hooking portion 11, the first hooking portion 11 is more difficult to shift. Therefore, the first movable partition body 5 does not necessarily have to be located near the middle finger 13. In FIG. 7, a plurality of fingers (the index finger 15 and the ring finger 23 in the figure) are the first hooks 11
Has been passed through. The first hooking portion 11 only touches the part of the middle finger 13 on the instep 7 side, and does not go around to the palm side. In this case, the movement of the first hooking portion 11 is restricted by the middle finger 13, so that the first hooking portion 11 is even more unlikely to shift. Also, many fingers can be decorated by the first hook portion 11.

(Second Embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First of the second embodiment
The biggest structural difference from the embodiment is that a ring 16 is used as the first locking means instead of the first movable partition body 5. Here, the ring 16 is attached to an arbitrary ring 4 of the string-like body 2 and its position cannot be changed, but it may be attached movably.

Another structural difference is that the string-like body 2 shorter than that in the first embodiment is used, and between the ring 16 and the second movable partition 6 on the back 7 side of the hand. The point that the auxiliary decorative body 17 is attached to the string-shaped body 2 is mentioned. Since the string-like body 2 is short, the second
No ring 12a is formed on the hook portion 12. However, the length of the string-like body 2 is not particularly limited, and may be long as in the first embodiment, for example. In addition, the auxiliary decorative body 17
, A substantially cylindrical tubular member 18 having open ends, an elastic annular member 19 made of an elastic material such as rubber and inserted into the tubular member 18 with both end portions thereof exposed, and the tubular member 18 A substantially cube-shaped decoration body 21 that covers the outside of the
The one with and is used. The string-shaped body 2 is passed through both ends of the elastic annular member 19 exposed from the tubular member 18. On the outer surface of the decorative body 21, a decorative portion 22 in the shape of letters, patterns, etc. is provided. Therefore, the auxiliary ornament 1
7 has substantially the same configuration as the movable partition bodies 5 and 6. The same members and portions as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

At the time of locking by the first locking means, the finger ring 16 attached to the string-like body 2 is fitted to the finger (the ring finger 23 in FIG. 8) having the same thickness as the inner diameter thereof. The locking by the second locking means is the same as in the first embodiment. Therefore, the size of the second hook portion 12 can be changed by adjusting the position of the second movable partition body 6, but the size of the ring 16 cannot be changed. However, the first movable partition 5 and the first movable partition
A unique decorative effect can be obtained by the ring 16, which is not present in the hanging portion 11. By shifting the position of the second hooking portion 12 hooked on the wrist 14 or moving the second movable partition body 6,
By changing the size or the position of the hook portion 12, the string-like body 2 can be in a tensioned state or a loosened state. By changing the tension depending on the situation, it is possible to give the viewer a different impression. In addition, the back of the hand 7 can be further decorated by the auxiliary decorative body 17.

Even if the portion of the cord-like body 2 resting on the back 7 of the hand (intermediate portion 10) is loose, the ring 1
Since the attachment portion between the cord 6 and the string-shaped body 2 and the second movable partition body 6 are located on the back 7 side of the hand, the movement of the intermediate portion 10 is restricted by the ring 16 and the second movable partition body 6. Therefore, even if the intermediate portion 10 expands, there is no possibility that the entire portion will hang down from the back 7 of the hand and deteriorate the appearance. In this case, since the auxiliary decorative body 17 is attached to the intermediate portion 10 and prevents the intermediate portion 10 from expanding, it is possible to further prevent the appearance from being lowered due to the sagging.

FIG. 9 shows another wearing state of the accessory 1. Most of the string-shaped body 2 is placed on the back 7, both the second movable partition 6 and the auxiliary decorative body 17 are arranged on the back 7 side of the hand, and the ring 16 and the second hook 12 are the fingers at both ends, that is, the little finger. 24 or thumb 25. Here, the ring 16 is fitted to the little finger 24, and the second hook 12 is attached to the thumb 2
It is hooked at 5. In this mounted state, in addition to the effect of the mounted state shown in FIG. 8, since the string-like body 2 hangs between the thumb 25 and the little finger 24, the contour of the back 7 of the hand can be emphasized. It should be noted that it is up to the user which finger the ring 16 and the second hook 12 should be locked to, but the second hook 12 can be hooked on the thicker finger (thumb 25). preferable. Depending on the size of the ring 16, there is a possibility that it cannot be fitted on the thumb 25, but if it is the second hook portion 12, it can be hooked on the thumb 25 by adjusting the position of the second movable partition body 6. is there.

(Third Embodiment) Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The biggest structural difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is that only one movable partition 26 including the main body 8 and the elastic annular member 9 is used. That is, the first and second locking means are constituted by one movable partitioning body 26 which is mounted on the cord-like body 2 on the back 7 side of the hand so as to be positionally adjustable. The string-shaped body 2 is partitioned by the movable partition body 26 into a first hook portion 11 and a second hook portion 12.

Another structural difference is that the string-like body 2 shorter than that in the first embodiment is used and the ring member 27 is provided at a location corresponding to the second hook 12 of the string-like body 2.
Is attached. Since the string-shaped body 2 is short, the ring 12 a is not formed in the second hook portion 12. However, the length of the string-like body 2 is not particularly limited, and may be long as in the first embodiment, for example. A ring may be used as the ring member 27, or any other member may be used. Here, the ring member 27 is attached to the arbitrary ring 4 of the second hooking portion 12 and its position cannot be changed, but it may be attached movably. The same members and portions as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

First locking means and second locking means in this embodiment
At the time of locking by the locking means, the first locking portion 11 partitioned by the movable partition body 26 wraps around from the back side of the hand 7 to the palm side and is locked by the finger (for example, the middle finger 13).
Further, the second hooking portion 12 wraps around from the back 7 side to the palm side and is hooked on the wrist 14. The size of each hooking portion 11, 12 changes with the position adjustment of the movable partition 26. Further, since the movable partition 26 is located on the back 7 side of the hand, even if the portion of the string-shaped body 2 resting on the back 7 is loosened, the movement thereof is restricted by the movable partition 26. Therefore, even if the string-like body 2 spreads, the whole does not hang down from the back 7 of the hand. Furthermore, movable partition 2
Since the position of 6 can be adjusted, the size of each hooking part 11 and 12 is changed according to the situation such as the thickness of the fingers / wrists 14, the number of fingers, the presence / absence of wearing gloves and the like. It is possible.

In addition to the above, the second hook portion 12 has a wrist 14
If it is larger than, it will be in a loose state,
Since the ring member 27 functions as a weight, the loosened portion is pulled downward and becomes in a tensioned state.
Also, the addition of the ring member 27 enhances the decorative effect. Ornaments or the like may be separately hung on the ring member 27.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but can be modified as appropriate. For example, as the movable partition bodies 5, 6 and 26, as shown in FIG. 11, the movable partition bodies, which are entirely formed of an elastic body such as rubber, and are provided with holes 28 for passing the cord-like body 2 at both ends thereof. You may use. Also in this case, the movable partition bodies 5, 6, 2 in each of the above embodiments
The same action and effect as in 6 are obtained. Further, as for the movable partition bodies 5, 6, and 26, like the auxiliary decoration body 17, the decoration main body may be covered on the outside of the main body portion 8.
