Benefits of technology

[0006] In combination, the present invention further may include charms in combination with the filament. More particularly, end loops may be provided and interconnected with the loops with each end loop including a filament end disposed in a closed spaced apart relationship with the end loop for restricting movement of charms therepast. Preferably, the spacing is such that the charms may be added or taken off of the filament, but the end prevents inadvertent dropping of charms from the filament.
[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of sub-loops may be provided, each subtending a corresponding loop and having a constriction therein before preventing inadvertent passage of charms therepast. This embodiment may be preferable when the filament is threaded onto a relatively vertical strap, such as a shoulder strap of a bra, thus enabling spaced apart dangling of charms therefrom.

Problems solved by technology

While suitable for many uses, pins and clasps and the like are not particularly suitable for the adornment of narrow straps, thongs, or belts, and the like.

Embodiment Construction

[0017] With reference to FIG. 1, there is shown an ornamental charm device 10 in accordance with the present invention generally including a filament 12 shaped into a spiral, or helix, and having a plurality of spaced apart loops, or canted coils, 16 which can support a plurality of various charms 20, 22, 24, 26 in a spaced apart relationship, particularly when the coil 16 are threaded around a relatively horizontal strap represented by the centerline 30. Representative placement of the device 10 is illustrated in FIG. 2.

[0018] End loops, or coils, 30, 32 are interconnected with the loops 16 are provided for enabling a thread installation of the charm device 10 onto the strap 28.

[0019] In addition, the end loops 30, 32 include filament ends 36, 38 which are curved into a close spaced apart relationship with the end loops 30, 32 for restricting movement of the charm rings 42, 44, 46, 48 therepast. That is, the spaced apart relationship requires a manual force to pass the rings 42, ...
