[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-112279 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the case of the conventional tag-attaching bands, the tag to be attached must have a slot in advance for inserting the band-shaped object. Therefore, it is inconvenient to attach small items such as key chains, small stuffed toys, and ornaments instead of tags, because these small items do not have a slot in advance.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a small item attachment tool that can attach and support small items without drilling holes in the items. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problem, the small item attachment device of the present invention comprises a flexible band-shaped body and a fastening device capable of holding the band-shaped body in a ring shape, and is characterized in that a ring-shaped member for connecting small items is attached to the band-shaped body.

[0007] According to the present invention, a user of the accessory attachment device wraps the band around a part of their belongings and holds the band in a ring shape with the fastener. The user can then use the ring-shaped member attached to the band to attach small items such as key chains, small stuffed toys, and ornaments. The accessory attachment device of the present invention does not require drilling holes in the small item itself to attach the small item, which is advantageous because it does not damage the small item.

[0008] In one embodiment, the ring-shaped member may be a metal hook.

[0009] In one embodiment, the metal hook may protrude in the width direction of the band-shaped body.

[0010] In one embodiment, the ring-shaped member may be an annular band that surrounds the strip-shaped body.

[0011] In one embodiment, the ring-shaped member may include a metal ring and two annular bands, each of the annular bands surrounding the strip-shaped body, and the two annular bands may be positioned with the metal ring sandwiched between them. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0012] [Figure 1] 1 is a front view of an accessory attachment according to an embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 2] 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a state in which the accessory attachment tool of FIG. 1 is used. FIG. [Figure 3]An explanatory diagram showing another example of the use state of the small item attachment device of Figure 1, where (a) shows the front side when the can badge is attached, and (b) shows the relationship between the can badge fastener (safety pin) and the small item attachment device when the can badge is attached. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014] 1, a small item attachment device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a flexible band-shaped body 2 and a fastener 3 capable of holding the band-shaped body 2 in a ring shape. Ring-shaped members 4 and 5 for connecting small items are attached to the band-shaped body 2.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 2, a user of accessory attachment device 1 places strap 2 around a part of their belongings (handle C of bag B in the example of FIG. 2) and holds strap 2 in a ring shape with fastener 3. Then, using ring-shaped members 4 and 5 attached to strap 2, a small item A such as a key chain, small stuffed animal, or ornament is attached. This accessory attachment device 1 does not require drilling holes in the small item A itself to attach the small item A, which is advantageous as it does not damage the small item A.

[0016] Referring to Figure 1, the band 2 is made of a flexible material such as cloth, plastic, or leather. The user wraps the band 2 around the handle of their bag or the shoulder strap of a bag or backpack (see Figure 2), so it is formed to have a length and width appropriate for that purpose. For example, the length of the band 2 can be approximately 120 mm, and the width can be approximately 15 mm.

[0017] The band-like body 2 is held in a circular shape by a detachable fastener 3. In the example of FIG. 1, the fastener is a snap button 3, in which a male member 3a and a female member 3b are detachably coupled. That is, the male member 3a of the snap button 3 is attached to the back surface of one end of the band-like body 2, and the female member 3b of the snap button 3 is attached to the surface of the other end of the band-like body 2. Therefore, the band-like body 2 is held in a circular shape by deforming the band-like body 2 into a circular shape and coupling the male member 3a and the female member 3b. On the other hand, the circular band-like body 2 can be opened by releasing the coupling between the male member 3a and the female member 3b. In the example of FIG. 1, multiple female members 3b (two in FIG. 1) are provided at intervals along the length of the band-like body 2, allowing the diameter of the band-like body 2 to be selected.

[0018] Ring-shaped members 4 and 5 for connecting small items are attached to the band 2. The ring-shaped members can be a metal hook 4 or a circular band 5 that surrounds the band 2. In the example of FIG. 1, both the metal hook 4 and the circular band 5 are attached to the band 2. The user can use the metal hook 4 and / or the circular band 5 to attach their favorite small item A, such as a key chain, small stuffed animal, or ornament, to the band 2.

[0019] In the example of Fig. 1, the metal hook 4 is disposed in the longitudinal center of the band-like body 2 and protrudes in the width direction of the band-like body 2 (downward in Fig. 1), although this is not limitative. That is, a cylindrical protruding piece 6 is disposed in the longitudinal center of the band-like body 2, and the metal hook 4 is attached to this protruding piece 6. The metal hook 4 in Fig. 1 is, for example, a D-ring. As shown in Fig. 2, a suitable type of fastener 7, such as a lobster clasp, spring hook, or one-touch hook, that is already provided on the small item A can be connected to the metal hook 4.

[0020] The circular band 5 is disposed so as to surround the band 2 and can be slid in the longitudinal direction of the band 2. Small items A such as key chains, small stuffed toys, and ornaments can also be attached to the circular band 5. In the example of Figure 1, two circular bands 5 are disposed, and the two circular bands 5, 5 are positioned to sandwich the single metal hook 4 from both sides.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 3(b), the two annular bands 5, 5 are convenient for inserting and fastening a fastener 8 of a can badge D, which is a decorative accessory. The can badge D is a portable decorative item with an overall disk shape. The front surface of the can badge D is a decorative surface D1, and a fastener 8 such as a safety pin is arranged on the back surface. A user can attach the can badge D to a band 2 using the fastener 8. As shown in FIG. 3(b), by inserting the fastener 8 of the can badge D through the two annular bands 5, 5, the orientation of the can badge D on the band 2 is fixed, which has the advantage that the decoration on the decorative surface D1 is always maintained in a constant orientation.

[0022] It goes without saying that the configuration of the accessory attachment of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example or the above description. For example, the following modifications are also possible.

[0023] The illustrated example shows a band-shaped body 2 of a small item attachment 1 held in a circular shape by a detachable snap button type fastener 3. This is just one example, and instead of a snap button, any suitable type of fastener 3 such as a magnet type, a hook and eye type, a hook and loop type, a watch band type, or the like can be used.

[0024] The metal hook 4 in FIG. 1 is a D-ring as an example, but is not limited to this and any suitable type of metal hook such as a round ring, a double ring, or a snap hook can be used.

[0025] 1 shows multiple (two) annular bands 5 attached to the band 2, but the number of annular bands 5 may be one. In this case, by making the annular band 5 wider than that shown in FIG. 1, the same advantage as in the case of FIG. 3(b) can be obtained (the advantage that the orientation of the badge D on the band 2 is fixed, and the decoration on the decorative surface D1 is always kept in a constant orientation).

[0026] In the illustrated example, both the metal hook 4 and the annular band 5 are attached to the band-shaped body 2, but it is also possible to have only one of them.

[0027] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the specific configurations are not limited to these embodiments, and the present invention also includes design changes within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the above-described embodiments can be combined by utilizing each other's technologies as long as there are no particular contradictions or problems in their purposes, configurations, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
