Transformational accessory system

Abstract

An exemplary system and method of transforming an accessory from a first figure to a second figure involves rotating a first component about a first post coupled to a stem from a first position to a second position, rotating a second component about a second post coupled to the stem from a first position to a second position, and then forming a first figure or a second figure based on the frictional engagement between a post in the stem and one or more of the first component and the second component.

1 . A wearable accessory, comprising:
 a first component and a second component, each of the first component and the second component having a plurality of ports and at least one conduit therethrough;   a stem interconnecting the first component to the second component via the at least conduit in each, the stem further comprising a prong for frictionally engaging the plurality of ports of the first component and a prong for frictionally engaging the plurality of ports of the second component,   wherein the accessory is configured to form a first figure by rotation of the first component and the second component so that a first set of ports are frictionally engaged to the prong and configured to form a second figure by rotation of the first and second component so that a second set of ports are frictionally engaged to the prong,   wherein the first set of ports and the second set of ports are unique combinations made from the plurality of ports.   
     
     
         2 . The wearable accessory of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one bearing disposed in the at least one conduit. 
     
     
         3 . The wearable accessory of  claim 1 , further comprising a groove interconnecting the plurality of ports. 
     
     
         4 . The wearable accessory of  claim 3 , further comprising a ridge in the interconnection between the groove and at least one of the plurality of ports. 
     
     
         5 . The wearable accessory of  claim 4 , further comprising a plurality of ridges in the interconnection between the groove and the plurality of ports. 
     
     
         6 . The wearable accessory of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one structure to hold the wearable accessory to a user. 
     
     
         7 . The wearable accessory of  claim 1 , wherein either the first figure or the second figure is a winged creature. 
     
     
         8 . The wearable accessory of  claim 1 , wherein either the first figure or the second figure is heart shaped. 
     
     
         9 . The wearable accessory of  claim 1 , wherein the first figure has an opening through its center formed by an abutment of the first component and the second component. 
     
     
         10 . The wearable accessory of  claim 9 , wherein the second figure does not have an opening through its center formed by a different abutment of the first component and the second component. 
     
     
         11 . The wearable accessory of  claim 1 , wherein the prong is spherical. 
     
     
         12 . The wearable accessory of  claim 1 , wherein the stem comprises a formed metal. 
     
     
         13 . The wearable accessory of  claim 1 , further comprising a post for each conduit, wherein the post is held in place by a foot of the stem. 
     
     
         14 . The wearable accessory of  claim 13 , wherein the post is removable from the foot. 
     
     
         15 . A method of transforming a wearable accessory from a first figure to a second figure, the method comprising the steps of:
 rotating a first component about a first post coupled to a stem from a first component first position to a first component second position;   rotating a second component about a second post coupled to the stem from a second component first position to a second component second position,   wherein the first component in the first component first position and the second component in the second component first position are frictionally held in place by the stem to form the first figure and the first component in the first component second position and the second component in the second component second position are frictionally held in place by the stem to form the second figure.
