[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Thus, in the case of the above conventional product, hinges are attached to the corners (corners) of the unit body forming the decorative portion, and the unit bodies are rotatably connected by the hinges. Therefore, in the conventional accessory of this kind, it is usually necessary to form a corner (corner) for attaching the hinge to the unit body, so that the unit body is likely to have an angular shape and lacks fashionability and design. There was a problem.

Further, in the conventional product, since the unit bodies are connected by the hinges as described above, the unit bodies can be formed only in a direction around the hinge pivot axis, that is, in a state in which they are along the circumferential surface. Could not be rotated. Therefore, in the case of the conventional product, there is a restriction on the change of the design of the decoration part, and the unit body can be front and back, and the relationship between the front side and the back side has occurred in the decoration unit equipped with the unit body. Normally, we could only design the front side of the unit, and could not effectively utilize the back side. As a result, the conventional products had a problem in that they lacked the variety of designs.

Further, since the hinge is a functional component composed of both pieces and the pivot due to its structure, in this conventional accessory of this kind, each piece of the hinge is attached to the inner surface side of the unit body to connect the unit bodies. There was a disadvantage that it took a lot of time and labor to do the work. Therefore, according to the conventional product, the efficiency of the assembly process is poor and the cost of the product is high.

The present invention is intended to solve the problems of such conventional products. Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is that the unit body can be formed in a shape having a curved surface such as a sphere, the degree of freedom of the shape of the unit body is increased, and the design of the decorative portion can be diversified. Not only can they be rotated along the peripheral surface, but they can also be inverted, so that the design can be diversified and fashionability can be improved. It is to provide a deformable accessory that enables cost reduction and cost reduction.

Then, the decorative portion 2 is suspended and used on the stopper 3 via the rod 1c. In this case, in this case, since the unit bodies 1 are connected by the pins 4, as shown in FIG. 3, the respective unit bodies 1 forming the decorative portion 2 are rotated in the contact and separation directions along the outer peripheral side surface. Not only can it be used, but it can also be used by reversing it.

In the above process, in the case of the present invention, the fixing state of the decorative portion 2 and the stopper 3 is arbitrary as shown in, for example, A to C of FIG. 4, and the fixing form is the user's sense. Therefore, it may be appropriately selected according to the TPO. Further, in the case of the present invention, the number of unit bodies 1 may be plural, and therefore, as shown in FIG. Further, in the present invention, the outer shape of the unit body 1 is also arbitrary, and it goes without saying that it may be formed into a shape such as a sphere or a polyhedron.

Further, the present invention is not limited to the case where the stopper 3 and the unit body 1 of the decorative portion 2 are fixed to each other via the leg rod 1c as in the above example. That is, in the present invention, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the unit body 1 is formed in a frame shape such as an annular shape, and the above-mentioned stopper 3 is inserted into the frame of the unit body 1, and any unit of the decorative portion 2 is inserted. The stopper 3 may be fixed to the body 1. In this case, there is an advantage that the fixing operation between the decorative portion 2 and the stopper 3 can be simplified and speeded up. In the case of this embodiment as well, as in the above example, as shown in, for example, FIGS. 6A to 6F, the form of fastening the decorative portion 2 and the fastener 3 is arbitrary, and the number and shape of the unit bodies 1 are also the same. Freedom.

Further, in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 5B and 7, the enlarged stepped portion 5 may be formed as an endless passage for guiding the bulged end portion 4 a of the pin 4 in a sliding state. . The illustrated case is a case where the unit body 1 is formed in an annular shape or a disc shape, and an endless passage-like enlarged step portion 5 is formed on the peripheral side surface of the unit body 1 so as to extend in the circumferential direction. . When the enlarged step portion 5 is formed in this way, the bulged end portion 4a is smoothly guided along the enlarged step portion 5, and the unit bodies 1 are rotated in a state in which they are along the circumferential surface. When it is moved, it can be freely rotated, for example, over a range of 360 degrees.

In the case of the present invention, the shape and type of the pin 4 are arbitrary as shown in, for example, A to E of FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 4A, the pin 4 is formed by swaging one end 4c on the bulging end 4a on the other side. However, the pin 4 provided with the nut 7 is used as shown in FIG. The nut 7 may be the bulged end 4a. Further, FIG. 6C shows a pin 4 having a bulging end portion 4a fitted to the open end of the shaft 4b, and FIG. D shows a slit 4d formed at the open end of the shaft 4b, and the open end is caulked. FIG. E includes a male screw 4e to be screwed to the open end of the shaft 4b, and the head of the male screw 4e is formed on the other side of the bulged end 4a. This is the case.

Further, in the case of the present invention, the above-mentioned pin 4 is not limited to the case of being formed separately from the unit body 1, and as shown in FIG. It may be fixed in advance to the position by means of brazing or the like and formed integrally with the unit body 1.
