BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    (a) Field of the Invention 
         [0002]    The present invention is related to an innovative construction of a fastener commonly adapted to apparels, personal belongings, IC pocket, mobile phone suspenders, and key chains, and more particularly, to an integrated multi-purpose fastener. 
         [0003]    (b) Description of the Prior Art 
         [0004]    Fasteners and personal decoration items are frequently seen in the daily life of the modem people. They are essentially comprised of a suspender with one end disposed with a fastener or a decoration item for easy portability or attachment of another object for carrying along and use. 
         [0005]    A fastener or a locking piece for personal decoration item is usually made of plastic or metal material or combination of both; and machinery and tool are needed for processing to affect work efficiency while the composition of the fastener or the locking piece provides only a single function. Furthermore, multiple molds are required to increase production cost and frustrate economic utility. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0006]    The primary purpose of the present invention is to provide an integrated multi-purpose fastener that provides multiples functions and economic and practical benefits. To achieve the purpose, a multi-purpose fastener of the present invention is comprised of multiple buckling seats, buckling plates, and snap-on pillars made in an integrated part that can be folded in and secured in place in conjunction with various accessories to keep ID pocket, mobile phone suspender, key chain, and other personal belongings or decoration items for providing multiple functionalities and economic and practical values.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
       [0012]    To correct the deficiencies found with the fastener and personal decoration items of the prior art, the present invention comprised of a main unit having at its one end disposed with folding in and snapping on accessories to meet various functional requirements provides an integrated multi-purpose fastener in a structure allowing easy process, low cost, and practical effects. 
         [0013]    Referring to  FIG. 1  for an exploded view showing a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each of multiple buckling seats  10  has a recessed area  11  and multiple snap-on pillars  12  are alternatively are arranged on an inner end of the recessed area  11 ; multiple buckling holes  13 , two as illustrated in the preferred embodiment, are disposed on a wall of the recessed area  11 ; on the other end opposite to the wall where buckling holes  13  are provided is connected through multiple foldable plates  20 , two as illustrated in the preferred embodiment, to multiple buckling plates  30 , two additional snap-on pillars  31  are separately disposed on the buckling plates  30  in corresponding to the recessed area  11  on the buckling seat  10  in conjunction with those snap-on pillars  12  and those buckling holes  13 ; a suspender  50  passes through those foldable plates  20  and then secured by those buckling plates  30  and buckling holes  13 ; and multiple combination seats  1 A,  1 B, and  1 C are disposed at where in opposition to those buckling seats  10  and buckling plates  30  to be movably inserted with different attachments  4 A,  4 B,  4 C,  4 D, etc., as applicable. An end each of those attachments  4 A,  4 B,  4 C,  4 D, etc., is provided with an insertion axis to complete an integrated multi-purpose safety fastener. 
         [0014]    Now referring to another preferred embodiment as illustrated in  FIG. 2 , the buckling seat  10  and the buckling plate  30  are folded into an integrated party by means of the foldable plate  20 . Whereas the foldable plate  20  is flexible to allow folding in, various position or buckling means for the foldable plate  20  is provided as applicable depending on the individual requirements of the suspender  50  and attachments  4 A,  4 B,  4 C,  4 D, etc.; therefore, the foldable plate  20  and the buckling plate  30  are made in an integrated part to facilitate direct compression of the suspender  50  in place. 
         [0015]    In the extended applications of those preferred embodiments given above as illustrated in  FIGS. 3 and 4 , both of the foldable plate  20  and the buckling seat  10  are secured to each other by folding in the foldable plate  20  upon the buckling seat  10 , other than that as described in those two preferred embodiments described above to allow one or a plurality of the foldable plates, the foldable plate  20  may be folded in different directions (as illustrated in  FIG. 3 ) or is disposed separately from the buckling seat  10  (as illustrated in  FIG. 4 ) to secure the suspender  50  or a bead chain  51 . 
         [0016]    In another preferred embodiment yet of the present invention as illustrated in  FIG. 5 , the buckling seat  10  is on its inner end made into a square, oval, or circular form and is made in an integrated hollow part; an insertion hole  14  is disposed on one end of the buckling seat; a foldable buckling plate  60  in a shape compromising that of the buckling seat  10  is inserted into a hollow inner end of the buckling seat  10 ; and a protruding portion  61  is disposed on an external end of the foldable buckling plate  60  in relation to where the insertion hole  14  on the buckling seat  10  is provided. The suspender  50  or a circular band  52  is placed in the foldable buckling plate  60  and then folded and stuffed in the hollow inner end of the buckling seat  10 . Accordingly, the suspender  50  or the circular band  52  is secured in place by buckling the protruding portion  61  in the insertion hole  14  for achieving easy assembly of the integrated multiple-purpose fastener. 
         [0017]    Those combination seats  1 A,  1 B,  1 C, etc. disposed at the front end of the buckling seat  10  may be provided as required, and then fast connected to attachments  4 A,  4 B,  4 C,  4 D, etc. of different functions to put more added value and functionalities to the integrated multi-purpose fastener. 
         [0018]    An integrated multi-purpose fastener of the present invention for being foldable to secure in position before connecting to various types of attachment for providing multiple functionalities and practical and economic values meets requirements of patentability; therefore this application is duly filed accordingly.
