  Further, the accessory includes a sintered metal member 4 (see FIG. 2B). The sintered metal member 4 is an alloy member in which a metal powder is compressed into a required shape and the green compact is baked and hardened at a high temperature, and innumerable voids are formed. The sintered metal member 4 can maintain the fragrance of the fragrance for a long period of time by soaking the fragrance in the pores. The fragrance is liquid and may be either a natural fragrance or a synthetic fragrance. In addition, the relationship between the sintered metal member 4 and the accommodating part S for accommodating this will be described later.

  Thus, the accessory is comprised by the some member. Therefore, the assembly of the accessory using these members will be described below. The main body 1 has a support rod 5 attached to the back surface of the bottom surface 11, and a countersunk screw 51 inserted into the tapered hole 50 is screwed into the female screw hole 13. At this time, the main body 1 is at a position where the vent hole 12 is in the front-rear and left-right direction when viewed from the front, and the support rod 5 is at a position where it is bifurcated when viewed from the front. Next, the main body 1 is fitted with the sintered metal member 4 in the space 10 and the seal washer 3 is attached to the upper end surface of the peripheral wall so that the protruding pieces 30 face in the front-rear direction. Finally, the main body 1 is covered with the cover 2 from above, and the female screw groove 21 of the cover 2 is screwed into the male screw groove 16.

  In the accessory thus assembled, the housing portion S is formed by the space 10 of the main body 1 and the cover 2. The shape and dimensions of the accommodating part S are formed so that there is a spatial margin (play) to the extent that the sintered metal member 4 accommodated in the accommodating part S can freely change its spatial position. (See FIG. 6 (a)). Specifically, the accommodating portion S has at least a width dimension W larger than a width dimension A of the sintered metal member 4 (W> A), and a height dimension H is a height dimension B of the sintered metal member 4. It is formed to be larger (H> B). Moreover, the shape of the accommodating part S is formed so that the above-mentioned dimensional conditions may be satisfied. For example, when the shape of the sintered metal member 4 is a circular plate or a sphere, the shape of the housing portion S may be formed to be substantially cylindrical in view of the ease of movement of the sintered metal member 4. preferable.

  The accessory in such a state is used as follows. In the cufflinks, the retaining rod 7 oriented in the axial direction of the support collar 5 is inserted into a buttonhole opened at both ends of the sleeve of the shirt, and the retaining rod 7 protruding from the buttonhole is oriented in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction. Is fixed. Further, the tie pin is fixed by sandwiching the tie from the front and the back between the main body 80 of the clip 8 and the tip of the sandwiching rod 82. The fixed cuff links (or tie pins) are swung according to the movement of the wearer's arm (or torso). The sintered metal member 4 moves violently in the accommodating portion S in response to the vibration of the cuff links (or tie pins), stirs the air in the accommodating portion S, and promotes the vaporization of the fragrance contained in itself. Moreover, the sintered metal member 4 pressurizes the air containing the fragrance which exists between them by the momentum which approaches or collides with the inner surface 14. The pressurized air is expelled to the outside from the vent hole 12 and the vent hole 22 that are opened nearby.

  Further, when the vent hole 22 is positioned in the front-rear direction in front view due to the rotational movement of the cover 2, the vent hole 22 is blocked by the protruding piece 30 of the seal washer 3. As a result, the amount of the fragrance in the housing part S is suppressed. On the other hand, when the vent hole 22 is located in a direction other than the front-rear direction, the vent hole 22 is fully opened. As a result, a large amount of fragrance in the storage portion S is released. Moreover, the fragrance | flavor can be re-impregnated to the sintered metal member 4 accommodated in the accommodating part S by removing the cover 2. FIG.

(Example 2)
The accessory according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described first embodiment, and may include a configuration for restricting the sintered metal member 4 to reciprocating motion. Hereinafter, differences from the first embodiment will be described.

  The bottom 11 of the main body 1 has a square shape, and a peripheral wall rises vertically from each side to form a space 10 having an open top surface. The vent hole 12 is provided at the rising position of the peripheral wall of the bottom surface 11.

  Moreover, about the position of the assembled main body 1 and the support rod 5, when the main body 1 is in a position where the vent hole 12 is in the left-right direction when viewed from the front, the support rod 5 is at a position where it is bifurcated when viewed from the front.

  In addition, the shape and size of the accommodating portion S are formed so as to restrict the movement of the sintered metal member 4 to the reciprocating movement (see FIG. 6B). Specifically, in the housing portion S, the width dimension W1 (in the left-right direction when viewed from the front) is twice the short width dimension C (in the left-right direction when viewed from the front) of the sintered metal member 4 (W1 = C × 2). It is formed as follows. Further, the accommodating portion S has a width dimension W2 (in the front-rear direction in the front view) slightly larger than the longitudinal width dimension A (in the front-rear direction in the front view) of the sintered metal member 4, and is cut in the longitudinal direction of the sintered metal member 4. It is formed to be smaller than the diagonal length D of the cross section (W2 <D). Moreover, the accommodating part S is formed so that the height dimension H may become larger than the height dimension B of the sintered metal member 4 (H> B). Moreover, the shape of the accommodating part S is formed so that the above-mentioned dimensional conditions may be satisfied. For example, when the shape of the sintered metal member 4 is a rectangular parallelepiped, the shape of the accommodating portion S is preferably formed to be a rectangular parallelepiped.

  The sintered metal member 4 reciprocates in the left-right direction in the front view in the accommodating portion S according to the vibration of the cuff links (or tie pins). Specifically, the sintered metal member 4 reciprocates a distance that is ½ of the width dimension W1 (in the left-right direction of the front view) of the housing portion S. The sintered metal member 4 stirs the air in the housing part S and promotes vaporization of the fragrance contained in itself. Moreover, the sintered metal member 4 pressurizes the air containing the fragrance which exists between them by the momentum which approaches or collides with the inner surface 14 in the short direction (right and left direction in the front view). Pressurized air is expelled to the outside from the vent hole 12 that is opened nearby. In Example 2, the position where the sintered metal member 4 approaches the inner surface 14 of the accommodating portion S corresponds to the position where the peripheral wall rises.

(Example 3)
The accessory according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described first and second embodiments, and may include a configuration for forcibly moving the sintered metal member 4 by the operating means. Hereinafter, differences from the above-described embodiment will be described.

  Two through-holes 17 are arranged in the bottom 11 of the main body 1 near the center. Further, the accessory according to the present embodiment further includes a pushing plate 52 for pushing and moving the sintered metal member 4 and a coil spring 6 for pushing back the sintered metal member 4.

  The support plate 5 has a push plate 52 bonded to the upper surface of the base end portion. In the main body 1, the bifurcated tip of the support rod 5 is inserted into the through hole 17 from above. The support rod 5 has a proximal end portion including the pusher plate 52 remaining in the space 10 and a bifurcated distal end portion facing downward from the back surface of the bottom surface 11. Next, the main body 1 is fitted with the sintered metal member 4 in the space 10 and the seal washer 3 is attached to the upper end surface of the peripheral wall so that the protruding pieces 30 face in the front-rear direction. Next, the cover 2 has a coil spring 6 bonded to the back surface of the upper surface with an adhesive C. Finally, the main body 1 is covered with the cover 2 from above, and the female screw groove 21 of the cover 2 is screwed into the male screw groove 16.

  The shape and dimensions of the accommodating portion S are formed so as to reciprocate the sintered metal member 4 in the pushing and moving direction (see FIG. 6A). Specifically, the accommodating portion S has a width dimension W slightly larger than the width dimension A of the sintered metal member 4 and smaller than the diagonal length D of the cross section obtained by cutting the sintered metal member 4 in the radial direction. (W <D). The accommodating portion S is formed so that the height dimension H is larger than the height dimension B of the sintered metal member 4 (H> B). Moreover, about the shape of the accommodating part S, it forms so that the above-mentioned dimension conditions may be satisfy | filled.

  The pushing plate 52 of the support rod 5 relatively pushes up the sintered metal member 4 when the main body 1 is pushed down by the wearer's operation. When the sintered metal member 4 is pushed up, the upper coil spring 6 is compressed and deformed. The coil spring 6 stores elastic energy and pushes back the sintered metal member 4 by elastic energy when the main body 1 is not pushed down. The sintered metal member 4 reciprocates in the vertical direction by repeating this operation. The sintered metal member 4 stirs the air in the housing part S and promotes vaporization of the fragrance contained in itself. Moreover, the sintered metal member 4 pressurizes air containing a fragrance existing between the bottom surface 11 and the cover 2 in the up and down direction by a force of approaching or contacting. The pressurized air is expelled to the outside vigorously from the vent hole 12 and the vent hole 22 that are opened nearby.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
A tie pin having a configuration different from that of the tie pin according to Embodiment 1 will be described below. As shown in FIG. 5, the tie pin includes a clip 8 and a sintered metal member 4 accommodated in the clip 8. The clip 8 has an opening at the front end of the main body 80, and a space 10 is formed inside. The clip 8 is provided with a vent hole 85 on the upper surface. The accessory further includes a push-in member 54 for pushing and moving the sintered metal member 4 and a coil spring 6 for pushing back the sintered metal member 4. The pushing member 54 is made of a flexible resin, and a hooking claw 540 is formed at the tip.

  In the clip 8, the coil spring 6 is bonded to the inner wall of the space 10 with the adhesive C, and the sintered metal member 4 is stored in the space 10 in this state. Finally, in the clip 8, the pushing member 54 is pushed into the space 10.

  In the accessory thus assembled, the accommodating portion S is formed by the space 10 of the clip 8 and the pushing member 54. The shape and dimensions of the accommodating portion S are formed so as to reciprocate the sintered metal member 4 in the pushing direction (front-rear direction).

  The pushing member 54 pushes the sintered metal member 4 by being pushed into the space 10 by the operation of the wearer. The sintered metal member 4 is compressed to deform the coil spring 6 on the rear side by being pushed. The coil spring 6 accumulates elastic energy and pushes the sintered metal member 4 back to the front by elastic energy when the pushing member 54 is not pushed. The sintered metal member 4 reciprocates in the front-rear direction by repeating this operation. The air in the housing part S is released from the vent hole 85 according to the reciprocating motion of the sintered metal member 4. The pushing member 54 is pushed back together with the sintered metal member 4, but is prevented from coming out when the hooking claw 540 is caught by the projection 86 of the opening of the space 10. Moreover, since the pushing member 54 is flexible, it can be detached by pulling the hooking claw 540 so that the projection 86 is removed.

  In the above-described first embodiment, an example in which the inner surface 14 forming the space 10 is flat and can be mirrored has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the inner surface 14 may be provided with small protrusions irregularly over the entire circumference. As a result, the sintered metal member 4 moves more vigorously by contacting the protrusions and being regulated in an irregular direction, and vigorously stirs the air in the storage portion S.
