[0008] The accessory according to the present invention allows you to enjoy the three-dimensional shape changes that occur when the rotating body inside the frame rotates relative to the frame. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an accessory according to a first embodiment. [Figure 2] FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a state in which a rotating body rotates relative to a frame body. [Figure 3] FIG. 10 is a perspective view of an accessory according to a second embodiment. [Figure 4] FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a state in which a rotating body rotates relative to a frame body. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. [Example]

[0011] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an accessory according to a first embodiment.

[0012] The accessory according to the first embodiment can be used as a key holder for bundling keys or the like, or as a strap that can be attached to a bag or the like, and has a rotating body 2 arranged within a ring-shaped frame body 1.

[0013] The rotating body 2 is, for example, a disk, and is supported by two shafts 3, one above the other, on the frame 1 so that it can rotate freely around the vertical direction. The rotating body 2 is sized so that it does not come into contact with the inner edge of the frame 1 even when it rotates.

[0014] The size of the rotating body 2 is, for example, about 5 cm in diameter, and it can be made into an accessory of any size according to preference. The frame 1 and rotating body 2 are molded from synthetic resin material such as acrylic or metal, and various characters, photographs, designs, etc. are drawn on both the front and back of the rotating body 2. These designs, etc. may employ holograms that appear three-dimensional.

[0015] Also, various characters, photographs, designs, etc. may be placed on only one side of the rotating body 2, and a reflective material may be attached to the other side. This reflective material is a material that strongly reflects light in the direction it is received, allowing for safe walking even at night.

[0016] In addition, by placing a mirror on part of the front and / or back surface of the rotating body 2, when the rotating body 2 is rotated, the light reflected by the mirror can be made to appear to shine at an appropriate timing.

[0017] Furthermore, the same character, photo, design, etc. may be placed on both sides of the rotating body 2, or characters with slight movement may be placed on both sides. By placing characters with slight movement in this way, the characters will appear to move when the rotating body 2 is rotated.

[0018] Alternatively, the rotor 2 may be a disk-shaped magnetic metal main body with ribs on the outer periphery, and a disk-shaped magnet body bearing various characters, photographs, designs, etc. may be attached to the main body. By using an adhesive structure with a magnet in this way, it becomes possible to change out various characters, photographs, designs, etc. as needed depending on mood.

[0019] Furthermore, a connecting part 4 made of, for example, metal and consisting of multiple chains is connected to part of the frame 1, and a locking fitting 5 is attached to the tip of the connecting part 4. The locking piece 5a of the locking fitting 5 generates an outward biasing force, and this biasing force maintains a locked state in which the locking piece 5a is always in contact with the locking piece abutment part 5b.

[0020] Pressing the locking piece 5a from the outside against the biasing force releases the locked state in which the locking piece 5a and the locking piece abutment part 5b. This release allows the locking fitting 5 to be locked with a key or to be locked to part of a backpack, bag, etc.

[0021] In this way, after a key is attached to the accessory or an accessory is attached to a part of a backpack, bag, etc., the rotating body 2 can rotate freely around the shaft 3 relative to the frame body 1, so that as shown in Figure 2, the rotating body 2 decorated with a pattern or the like can be enjoyed while being used. [Example]

[0022] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the accessory of the second embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a state in which a rotating body 2' rotates relative to a frame body 1'.

[0023] The accessory according to the second embodiment has a rectangular rotating body 2' disposed within a square frame 1'. The rotating body 2' is rotatably supported by upper and lower shafts 3' relative to the frame 1'. The frame 1' and rotating body 2' are made of metal or synthetic resin, have patterns drawn on their surfaces, and are equipped with a connecting part 4 and a locking fitting 5, just like the first embodiment.

[0024] In Examples 1 and 2, the frames 1 and 1' are annular and rectangular, and the corresponding rotors 2 and 2' are disk-shaped and rectangular, but other shapes can also be selected. Also, although the rotors 2 and 2' have been described as rotating around the vertical shaft 3, the shaft 3 can also be oriented in the left-right direction.

[0025] In this way, the accessory according to the present invention allows the user to enjoy the three-dimensional shape changes of the rotating bodies 2, 2' within the frames 1, 1' as they rotate relative to the frames 1, 1'. [Explanation of symbols]
