By the way, the above-mentioned FIG.
(A) and (b) shown in FIG.
In a necklace having 2,46, the connecting portion of the string-like tools 31, 41 is attached to the back side (back side) of the neck when normally worn.
In other words, the cord-shaped device (pearl, precious metal chain, etc.) was exposed and mounted on the front side (front side) of the neck.

There is also a case where the necklace cords 31 and 41 are used by passing through a separately attached pendant top (apparel). Therefore, when the string-like tools 31, 41 are put out on the front side and attached, the decorativeness (function as a decoration) depends on the string-like tools 31, 41. Therefore, especially, the necklace, bracelet in which the string-like tools 31, 41 are made of a noble metal chain. Has a problem in that it is inferior in decorativeness from the viewpoint of appearance and the like, and it is not possible to use this accessory according to various clothes and the like, and there is a problem that it can only be used to a certain extent. Therefore, there is no choice but to insert the above-mentioned separate accessory into the string-like tool to expand the range of use.

Since the accessory is simply passed through the cord-shaped members 31 and 41, the position of the accessory is not stable, and the accessory is often displaced.
8 (b), it is possible to stabilize the attachment position by inserting the ring body 43 into the accessory by attaching it, but the ring body 43 itself looks good because the lever protrudes. It is also bad, and the ring body 43 is not normally used by exposing it to the front side.

The lever 3 is used to connect and disconnect the connecting members 35 and 42 and the connected members 32 and 46.
No. 4, 45 must be operated, and in the case of a necklace, it is usually troublesome to attach and detach because it is connected on the back side of the neck. Also, connect it on the front side of the neck and turn it after connecting. However, even if such a connecting method is used, it is troublesome to attach and detach the cords 31 and 41 when the lengths of the cords 31 and 41 are short. Further, the structure is complicated, which causes a cost increase.

Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention can widen the range of utilization of the accessory by the connecting tool, and can reduce the cost by using the connecting tool as a simple structure. An object of the present invention is to provide an accessory that can facilitate the connecting operation.
