Abstract
A fastener for accessories includes a pair of a female part (1) and a male part (2). The female part (1) includes a holding frame body (12), a holding space (13) which is surrounded by the holding frame body (12), and an opening part (14) which can close elastically. The female part (1) further includes a guide part (15) for insertion at an outer side of the opening part (14). The male part (2) includes a circular locking frame body (22), a locking accepting part (25) which is surrounded by the locking frame body (22), and a locking part (21) which can close elastically at a tip of the locking frame body (22). The male part (2) further includes a guide part (23) for engagement/disengagement at an inner side of the locking part (21) and an outer shell on a periphery of the locking frame body (22).
Claims12
A fastener for accessories comprising a female part and a male part,
- wherein the male part comprises:
- a circular locking frame body, which is formed continuously linear or non-continuously linear;
- a locking accepting part, which is surrounded by the circular locking frame body;
- and
- at least one locking part, which is located at a tip of the circular locking frame body, wherein the tip encloses the locking accepting part,
- wherein the female part comprises:
- a circular holding frame body, which is formed non-continuously linear, and
- a holding space, which is surrounded by the circular holding frame body,
- wherein the female part further comprises an opening part, which closes elastically, at a tip of the circular holding frame body, and wherein the opening part and the circular holding frame body do not criss-cross or overlap with each other in both a locked and unlocked configuration of the male part with respect to the female part,
- wherein an inner angle between the holding frame body and the opening part is from 0 degrees to 90 degrees,
- wherein the opening part has a guide part for insertion of the at least one locking part in the holding space of the female part such that the guide part is inserted through the locking accepting part of the male part,
- wherein a first length of the opening part of the female part is shorter than a second length between the circular locking frame body of the male part,
- wherein the first length of the opening part is defined as a length vertically against a centerline of a longitudinal axis of the female part,
- wherein the second length between the circular locking frame body of the male part is a maximum length among lengths vertically against a centerline of the longitude axis of the male part,
- wherein the female part further comprises an engagement-separating gap, which is located at a tip of the opening part or an inner side of the tip, for disengagement in order for the at least one locking part of the male part to move from the holding space to an outer space,
- wherein the engagement-separating gap is opened by pulling the female part from the male part while twisting one another, to disengage the fastener for accessories, and wherein the fastener for accessories is engaged/disengaged by twisting both to the right and the left rotation.

A fastener for accessories comprising:
- a male part comprising:
- a circular locking frame body, which is formed continuously linear or non-continuously linear;
- a locking accepting part, which is completely surrounded by the circular locking frame body;
- and
- a locking part, which is located at a tip of the circular locking frame body, wherein the tip encloses the locking accepting part;
- a female part that is not structurally continuous to the male part, wherein the female part comprises:
- a circular holding frame body, which is formed non-continuously linear;
- a holding space, which is surrounded by the circular holding frame body, wherein the holding space is configured to accept the locking part of the male part such that the locking accepting part of the male part interlocks with the holding space;
- an opening part, which closes elastically, at a tip of the circular holding frame body, wherein the opening part and the circular holding frame body do not criss-cross or overlap with each other in both a locked and unlocked configuration of the male part with respect to the female part, wherein an inner angle between the holding frame body and the opening part is from 0 degrees to 90 degrees, wherein the opening part has a guide part for insertion of the locking part in the holding space of the female part such that the guide part is inserted through the locking accepting part of the male part, wherein a first length of the opening part of the female part is shorter than a second length between the circular locking frame body of the male part, wherein the first length of the opening part is defined as a length vertically against a centerline of a longitudinal axis of the female part, and wherein the second length between the circular locking frame body of the male part is a maximum length among lengths vertically against a centerline of the longitude axis of the male part;
- and
- an engagement-separating gap, which is located at a tip of the opening part or an inner side of the tip, to permit the locking part of the male part to engage and disengage with respect to the holding space, wherein the engagement-separating gap is opened by pulling the female part from the male part while twisting one another, to disengage the fastener for accessories.
