Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an accessory, more particularly to a fashion accessory having a first member and a second member capable of being integrally assembled together as a whole, or being departed from each other and then assembled with another second member or another first member, to accomplish the operation of quickly changing the style of the accessory and improve the diversification and the convenience of the accessory.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

People usually wear the various accessories, such as necklaces, rings, earrings and wristlets, to attend parties or in daily life to show the personal style thereof. Thus, the businessman has released the accessories with various modeling to attract the people's attentions.
In general, the accessory is used for decorative purpose. The style of the accessory usually relates to the popular products and the style of the accessory usually has a specific fashion cycle. Therefore, when the style of the accessory is out of fashion, generally the sale of the foregoing accessory is decreased greatly, and the businessman's costs for the accessory on hand must be increased as well. Besides, the user may wear the accessory with different style or structure for different occasion or the wearing, but the existing accessory has a fixed pattern only, so several problems may be generated as below.
(1) The user needs to buy various accessories with different styles, so as to match with the different occasions or wearing.
(2) When the style of the accessory is out of fashion, the accessory may be abandoned and cannot be reused via others manners.
(3) If the user prefers a specific pattern of a cat and buys a ring with an accessory decorative of the cat pattern, when the user wants to wear a necklace, the accessory decorative of the cat pattern on the ring cannot be disassembled from the ring to be mounted on the necklace. So the user needs to buy a new necklace with the accessory decorative of the cat pattern.
To sum up, the style of the existing accessory cannot be changed easily to meet the user's demands. Thus, the businessman's cost for the accessory on hand may be increased, and the user must still spend more money in the accessories. Thus, how to design an accessory structure whose entire style can be changed easily and quickly by the users is an important issue to be solved of the present disclosure.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

The existing accessory does not have arbitrarily-changeable style, so lots of the accessories may be abandoned when the styles of the accessories are out of fashion, which results in the problem of a wasting of resources. In order to improve the foregoing problems, the applicant develops and designs an accessory with a resilient assembly part of the present disclosure after a long effort to make the study and experiment.
One objective of the present disclosure is to provide an accessory with a resilient assembly part. The accessory is assembled by a first member and a second member, whereby a user may change the pattern of the first member or the second member upon demand, to generate another accessory with different appearance. The first member has a body, two sleeves, two pressing members and a resilient component. The body is formed with two openings corresponding to each other on an outer surface thereof, and the two openings are in communication with each other. An outer diameter of one end of each of the sleeves is larger than an inner diameter of the opening corresponding thereto, and the outer diameter of the rest of each of the sleeves is smaller than the inner diameter of the opening corresponding thereto, to enable the other end of each of the sleeves to be inserted into the body via the corresponding opening. A through hole is disposed in each of the sleeves, and a hole diameter of one end of the through hole is smaller than that of the other end of the through hole. Besides, the pressing members are movably positioned in the through holes respectively, and only one end of each of the pressing members is exposed out of the opening. The resilient component is positioned in the through holes. When the other ends of the sleeves are integrally combined with each other, two ends of the resilient component are abutted against the other ends of the two pressing members respectively, so that each of the pressing members is movably protruded out of the corresponding opening. Furthermore, the second member includes a containing space inside for containing the first member. Two engagement holes are recessed on the second member correspondingly in position to two side surface of the containing space. When the first member is assembled into the containing space, the resilient component forces the one end of each of the two pressing members to insert into the corresponding engagement hole, so as to combine the first member and the second member integrally. Thus, with the resilient assembly part composed of the sleeves, the pressing members and the resilient component, when the user wants to change the first member or second member with different pattern, the user may just exert a force to the first member or the second member correspondingly, each of the pressing members may compress the resilient component and be retracted into each of the through holes, so as to be departed from the corresponding engagement hole. Besides, after the user disassembles the first member from the second member, the user may assemble another first member into the second member or assemble another second member into the first member, to accomplish the operation of quickly changing the style of the accessory and improve the diversification and the convenience of the accessory.

When the right sleeve 12 is assembled into the body 11, the other end of the right sleeve 12 is inserted into the passageway 115 via the right opening 111, and one end of the right sleeve 12 is exposed out of the body 11. Besides, a right through hole 121 is disposed in the right sleeve 12, and a hole diameter of one end of the right through hole 121 is smaller than that of the other end of the right through hole 121. In addition, the right pressing member 13 is movably positioned in the right through hole 121. Furthermore, a diameter of the one end of the right pressing member 13 is smaller than the hole diameter of the one end of the right through hole 121, and the diameter of the middle portion of the right pressing member 13 is larger than the hole diameter of the one end of the right through hole 121, such that only one end of the right pressing member is exposed out of the right opening 111. It is worth mentioning that in others embodiment of the present disclosure, the pattern of the right pressing member 13 is not limited to the pattern shown in FIG. 1. The right pressing member 13 having at least a part (such as the other end of the right pressing member 13) with diameter larger than the hole diameter of the one end of the right through hole 121, may be used in the present disclosure, and that must be explained first.
Please refer back to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. The outer diameter of one end of the left sleeve 14 is larger than the inner diameter of the left opening 113, and the outer diameter of the rest of the left sleeve 14 is smaller than the inner diameter of the left opening 113. When the left sleeve 14 is assembled into the body 11, the other end of the left sleeve 14 is inserted into the passageway 115 via the left opening 113. A left through hole 141 is disposed in the left sleeve 14. A hole diameter of one end of the right through hole 141 is smaller than a hole diameter of the other end of the right through hole, and the other end of the left sleeve 14 and the other end of the right sleeve 12 are integrally combined with each other. In the present embodiment, the outer diameter of the other end of the right sleeve 12 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the other end of the left sleeve 14. Therefore, when the user rivets (or tightly fit) the right sleeve 12 and the left sleeve 14 on the body 11, the other end of the right sleeve 12 will be deformed to be inserted into the other end of the left sleeve 14. Then, the outer side of the other end of the right sleeve 12 is abutted tightly with the inner side of the other end of the left sleeve 14, to rivet (or tightly fit) the right sleeve 12 with the left sleeve 14. It is worth mentioning that in others embodiment of the present disclosure, the user may apply others manners to combine the right sleeve 12 and the left sleeve 14 with each other, where the manners may include the screw manner or the engagement manner. In addition, the left pressing member 15 may be positioned movably in the left through hole 141. In the present embodiment, the diameter of the one end of the left pressing member 15 is smaller than the hole diameter of the one end of the left through hole 141, and the diameter of the middle portion of the left pressing member 13 is larger than the hole diameter of the one end of the right through hole 141, such that only one end of the left pressing member is exposed out of the left opening 113. It is worth mentioning that in others embodiment of the present disclosure, any left pressing member 15 may be used in the present disclosure as long as the diameter of at least one part (such as the other end) of the left pressing member 15 is larger than the hole diameter of the one end of the left through hole 141, and that must be explained first.
Please refer back to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. The resilient component 16 is positioned in the left through hole 141 and the right through hole 121. When the other end of the left sleeve 14 and the other end of the right sleeve 12 are combined integrally, two ends of the resilient component 16 are abutted against the other ends of the left pressing member 15 and the right pressing member 13 respectively; at the same time, the resilient component 16 exerts a force to the left pressing member 15 and the right pressing member 13, to make ends of the left pressing member 15 and the right pressing member 13 to movably protrude out of the left opening 113 and the right opening 111 correspondingly. Thus, the resilient assembly part of the present disclosure is composed of the right sleeve 12, the right pressing member 13, the left sleeve 14, the left pressing member 15 and the resilient component 16. Besides, the second member 2 includes a containing space 20 inside for containing the first member 1. In the present embodiment, the second member 2 is U-shaped. The containing space 20 is defined by an interval between two arms of the second member 2. Two engagement holes 21 are recessed on the second member 2 correspondingly in position to two side surfaces of the containing space 20 respectively, and a mount trough 23 is formed on a position close to each of the engagement holes 21 correspondingly. Each of the mount troughs 23 is extended from the outer surface of the second member 2 towards each of the engagement holes 21 correspondingly. Thus, when the first member is assembled into the containing space 20, the one end of the right pressing member 13 and the one end of the left pressing member 15 are mounted into the corresponding engagement holes 21 via the corresponding mount troughs 23. Then, the resilient component 16 forces the one end of the right pressing member 13 and the one end of the left pressing member 15 to insert into the corresponding engagement holes 21 respectively, so as to combine the first member 1 and the second member 2 integrally. In the present embodiment, each of the one end of the right pressing member 13 and the one end of the left pressing member 15 is in an arc shape, and each of the engagement holes is in the arc shape as well, so the first member 1 may use the right pressing member 13 and the left pressing member 15 as a pivot pin, to rotatably fix on the second member 2. It is worth mentioning that in others embodiment of the present disclosure, the users may change the shapes of the pressing members 13, and 15 and the engagement hole 21, so as to meet design demands. Thus, with the resilient assembly part composed of the grade sleeves 12, 14, the pressing members 13, 15 and the resilient component 16, when the user wants to change the first member 1 or second member 2 with different patterns, the user may exert a force to the first member 1 or the second member 2 correspondingly, each of the pressing members 13 and 15 may compress the resilient component 16 and be retracted into each of the through holes 121 and 141, to be departed from the corresponding engagement hole 21. Besides, the users may disassemble the first member 1 from the second member 2, and then assemble another first member into the second member 2 or assemble another second member into the first member 1, so as to accomplish the operation of quickly changing the style of the accessory A and improve the diversification and the convenience of the accessory A.
Besides, the accessory of the present disclosure may be laid out in the form of a ring, a necklace or an earring. For example, the second member may be laid out in the form of a ring seat. Furthermore, when the accessory is laid out in the form of the necklace, please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, at least one hanging hole 3 may be formed on the first member 1 (as shown in FIG. 1) or at least one hanging hole 6 may be formed on the second member 5 (as shown in FIG. 3), to enable a hanging member 61, such as the necklace or the collar, to be inserted through the hanging hole 6, and the user is able to wear the accessory B. Besides, in the embodiment of FIG. 3, the second member 5 is O-shaped and the first member 4 may be assembled into the containing space 50 of the second member 5, so as to combine the first member 4 and the second member 5 as the accessory B. As a result, the user may easily change the pattern of the first members 1, 4 or the second members 2, 5 upon their demands, to improve the users' convenience when they want to change the members.
It is worth mentioning that “left” and “right” of the left/right opening or the left/right sleeve mentioned in the foregoing embodiments indicate the relative position of these elements. The users may change the left/right opening to the top/bottom opening to meet their demands, and that must be explained first.
