Easy interchangeabilty of visual and sound embellishments on wearing apparel accessories and other articles by use of mating parts which have the capability of closing an electric circuit

Abstract

The invention affords an easy means of interchanging embellishments on toys, wearing apparel and accessories. In this novel approach the embellishment is affixed to an intermediary carrier part which has one or more mated receptors embedded in the toy, garment or accessory to be adorned. Employing carriers with various embellishments affixed gives the user the ability to achieve a variety of effects of sight and sound by replacing the originally selected embellishments with others.
