Device that reversibly converts articles to another form and use
The invention is a device that converts any article like jewelry (necklace, bracelet, choker, anklet etc) or material into a different form and use like hair band and belt etc.
A device that alters the use and form of an article to a different form and use article and then back to the original article form and use. For example, the device can be used to convert a necklace into a functional hair band or a belt or a nonfunctional crown band than when the devise is removed the necklace can serve its original function or be at its original state. The same article can be converted at least once to a functional item excluding the original use but on average can be converted to at least two functional uses and at least one non function use. However, more form and use functions are possible. For example, a chain bracelet or strip of material using the device can be converted into a form and function of a hair band, crown band, choker, thigh band, belt and anklet. When the device is removed from the bracelet or strip of material the original state or form and use of the article is restored with no damage to the original article.

PRIOR ARTNecklace extenders have a singular purpose used to extend the length of the necklace and not to shorten it. The extenders themselves are normally metal and are not further adjustable.
Garment clips has a singular purpose. Industry practice is the strap has short length to cinch the garment at the back to make it fit correctly. The strap does not have any adjustable item to lengthen the straps as it is not required to accomplish the task. Additionally, the clips are not interchangeable to accommodate a different type of article. The straps are usually decorated or have ornamentation making it the central piece of focus. However, my device is designed to have the central focus the article that it is holding.
Clip Pacifiers only have a singular purpose and only has the clip on one end and the pacifier on the other end.
Suspenders clips does allow interchangeability of the straps but the clips are fixed. Since the clips are fixed to accommodate fabric only it is not suitable to accommodate other articles. The suspenders themselves are not marketed where two different articles can be accommodated. The length of the suspenders hinders the same strap to convert a necklace, for example, to a hair band or a belt etc.
Bed sheet suspender clips are adjustable but the action parts to hold the article is not interchangeable based on the suitably of the article because it's purpose is only to hold in place bed sheets. The aesthetic appeal, softness to touch of the webbing is not considered as it will be hidden in the mattress.
Beauty face sheet masks are used when someone is laying in the horizontal position or almost horizontal angle to prevent the face sheet mask from sliding off the face. This limits the user of the face beauty sheet mask to only use the sheet masks when laying down and limiting the body movement as well.
Removable Jewelry straps for garments only have that singular use for the garment. The straps are not interchangeable or the action parts.
Jewelry hair bands, crown bands and chokers by retailers now come with the adjustable bra sliders but the strap and bra slider are permanently attached to the article: Jewelry hair bands, crown bands and chokers for example.
Jewelry hair bands come with ties permanently attached to the ends. So ties cannot be used with any other article other than the article it is attached to. The finish of the ties may not be appealing as the hair normally will hide the ties. The ties also may not be long enough for certain circumferences therefore not interchangeable to certain functions and form.
Jewelry belts are normally one continuous length and it cannot be shortened without my devise to convert into a hair band.
The clips with straps in the market are all singular use and are only optimized for that use.
Retail Jewelry like necklaces, bracelets, chokers, anklets do not come with any devise that can convert these articles into a different form or functional use.
Any other interchangeable jewelry has been the entire jewelry changing to different forms and not a separate device that helps to alter the form.
Part 15 can be made of any flexible or rigid item that has any width, length, any shape (includes single strand, double strand, chord, chain, strip etc.) and any item can have stretch properties or no stretch properties.
The preferred part 15 is made of a bra elastic strap referred to as bra strap, with a width of 1.5 cm and length of 15 cm but can also extend up to 30 cm due to an adjustable part.
The first end of the bra strap, forms a closed permanent loop over part 14-1 a center bar
Apart from the natural extension capabilities of the bra strap, the length of the bra strap can also be adjusted by moving the bra slider
Other alternatives too creating an adjustable length are shown in
Both ends of the preferred bra strap are attached permanently/directly, or temporary/partially/indirectly to a connector. The connector intern permanently/directly, or temporary/partially/indirectly connects to a part that can be rigid or flexible and is referred generally as an action part. An action part makes the connection to the flexible or rigid article possible.
The action part can be made of any shape, size, length, width and material. The action part can also have a nonfunctional decorative, pattern, or ornamentation piece
Further the action part can permanently or temporary attach to the connector that is connected to the bra strap. Example of a temporary connection of the action part is shown in
The interchangeability of the different action parts creates the versatility of the action part function and use with different articles. Additionally, it creates the opportunity of the utilization of the same bra strap with different action parts or different bra straps for the same action part.
Some examples of an interchangeable action parts are shown in
The type of action part determines the appropriate article. The action part can have the capability for one, or more of the following action functions: latch, clip, grab, fasten, hold, clamp, hook, etc. onto any necklace, bracelet or any material like leather, fabric, webbing, trims, ornamentation, decoration etc.
One example of an action part is a hook to facilitate hooking onto objects. The hook can be any size including the hook opening or, it can be any shape like a fish hook, wire hook, thumb hook, snap hook, U hook, L shaped hook, the hook can be narrow enough to hook the chain of a necklace and also have a swivel snap to close etc. and made of any rigid material. Additionally, the inside and teeth of the hook can be coated with rubber to protect the objects it's hooking onto.
An example of a hook action part that encompasses any hook is action parts 20F, 20E-1. For this demonstration action part hook 20-20F will be a curved back hook
A different example of an action part is the action part that is identical to the closures of any necklace in the market and functions as such. The action part 16 can be a lobster claw, O Ring, spring, magnet, barrel, etc. while part 16-1 is the opposite closure. The action part 16 and 16-1, is made of any rigid material. The action parts 16 and part 16-1 can also fasten, onto each other in case the length needs to be extended beyond the maximum capacity of the slider and the natural stretch of the bra strap
The action part
A different action part, Part 18 and 18-1 is a clip which includes suspender clips, lanyard clips, any cam buckles, pacifier clips, any clip etc. can fasten, grab, close and hold onto webbing, strips of fabric some necklace chains, some necklace ornamentation when the necklace is left open or when the necklace is closed. However, please note depending on the jewelry there are other more appropriate action parts like using part 16, part 16-1. The cam buckles can both function as an action part as well as as holding the bra strap. Part 18 and 18-1 can be any size, shape, width, length and made out of any rigid material. The preferred action part Part 18 and 18-1 material is stainless steel metal and is 2 cm long and 1 cm wide.
The inside teeth of this action part clip can be lined with rubber to protect the item that it is gripping. The front grip, example lanyard clip, can have gap to prevent the clip teeth from damaging the chain or fishing line but holding the rest of the necklace. The clips can have further protrusions or hollows/ridges to facilitate holding, The ridge or valley on the base of the jaw or top of the jaw also allows the excess article such as the chain and or material to be stuffed and not hang out of the jaws for a clean look. The ridges or hollow or valley can also have hooks or further catchment to hold the article. For special shapes like pearls, the inside jaws of the clips can take the shape of the jewelry creating holes of the same size to accommodate this shape and to facilitate the jaws touching when they close without damaging the jewelry. The action parts can also fasten, latch onto each other in case the length needs to be extended beyond the maximum capacity created by the slider and the natural stretch of the bra strap,

Then select the action part. For this demonstration the action part will be lobster claw and o ring, part 18, 18-1 respectively. Slide part 24 and 24-1 buckle side into the back of the housing compartment cavity part 26H, of part 18 and 18-1, until it clicks in place.
Clip to fasten the action part 18 now attached to the device onto one side of the necklace lobster claw closure. Position the necklace and device with the action part around the anklet and wrap around until you can no longer warp around. Then close the loop by clipping action part 18-1 to fasten the opposite end of the necklace closure, which in this example is the O ring closure to close the loop around the anklet. This process can be followed for any other body part.
Adjust the anklet to fit by shortening or lengthening the embodiment. To shorten the devise, grab with one hand the slider and pull it towards the left side while grabbing the single layer elastic material and pulling in the opposite direction. This will shorten the elastic material to fit on to the head. If the head band is too tight, you can slip the slider towards the right side with the other hand pulling the elastic material in the opposite direction increasing the length to the desired comfort level.
