[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets, chokers, belts, etc., in which a plurality of pearls are attached to a long member or jewelry is attached, first adjust the long member to an appropriate length. By connecting a pair of fasteners and hooks attached to both free ends of the long member, the long member is attached to the body by connecting the long members in an annular shape.

[0003]

However, since the fastener is extremely small and complicated, it is difficult and troublesome to attach and remove it. Further, there is no conventional fastening device capable of adjusting the length of the fastening device itself. For example, in order to change the length of a pearl necklace, the number of pearls is increased or decreased and the length of the long member is changed. There was a problem that it had to be changed, which was troublesome, expensive, and time consuming. Especially, since the choker fits around the neck, it has to be adjusted frequently.

Further, since the conventional fastening device is only for connecting the long members, it has a problem that it is undecorable and unbalanced with respect to expensive necklaces and chokers. Further, the pearl necklace and the choker have a stopper on the rear part that can easily rotate to the front position during wearing, and a means for solving these problems is also needed.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is a novel fastener that reliably connects free ends and is adjustable, and has a high decorativeness, and an accessory using the fastener. The purpose is to provide.

[0006]

To achieve the above object, the present invention relates to a fastener which is attached to a free end of an accessory body and connects each free end, wherein the fastener is composed of a pair of fastener bodies, and each fastener is The tool body is formed of a magnetic member in which different magnetic poles are arranged and magnetized in the width direction. It should be noted that one fastener body may be formed of a magnetic member in which different magnetic poles are arranged and magnetized in the width direction, and the other fastener body may be formed of an attractable member that is attracted by the magnetic member.

Further, it is preferable that the fastener main body is formed in a belt shape having an appropriate length or in a semi-cylindrical shape.

A holder is provided for preventing one fastener body located outside and the other fastener body located inside from separating from each other when the pair of fastener bodies are sucked. is there. Furthermore, this holder may be attached to the tip of the fastener body located outside.

Further, it is preferable to attach a cap to the tip portions of the pair of fastener bodies or to provide a holding plate on the surface. In addition, it is preferable that the magnetic member is molded using a permanent magnet material or that the surface of the magnetic member is coated.

Further, a fastener composed of a pair of fastener bodies formed of magnetic members in which different magnetic poles are alternately arranged in the width direction and magnetized, and connecting portions for fixing the pair of fastener bodies are provided at both ends. The elongated member has an appropriate length, and the elongated member has a ring shape with a pair of fastener bodies.

[0011]

The fastener of the present invention comprises a pair of fasteners, and the pair of fastener bodies are formed of magnetic members in which S poles and N poles are alternately arranged in the width direction and magnetized. ,
It is possible to perform multi-step adjustment in which the length of two magnetic poles is one step. Further, since the magnetic poles that repel each other are magnetized next to the magnetic poles that attract each other, there is no deviation and no detachment.

Further, by forming the fastener main body into a strip shape having an appropriate length or a semi-cylindrical shape,
The suction area can be increased between the fastener bodies to enhance the suction force.

Further, even if a force for peeling off one of the paired fastener bodies is applied in the direction perpendicular to the surface, the holder bodies hold both fastener bodies and they are attracted in parallel with each other. Obtainable.

Since the cap is provided at the tip of each fastener body, damage to the tip of the fastener body can be prevented. Further, since the holding plate is provided on the surface of the fastener body, the fastener body is provided. Prevents damage to the fastener body by eliminating sliding between the holder and the surface of the fastener body while inserting into the holder.
