Clasp for jewelry chain

摘要

A jewelry clasp has first and second elongated legs with a receptor at one end of one leg providing a pair of spaced side walls forming a channel-shaped recess for receiving the adjacent end of the other leg. At least one of the side walls has a portion projecting towards the other side wall to provide a restriction in the channel-shaped recess to reduce the width of the channel, and one of the side walls flexing as the other leg is pressed against the projecting portion to allow the other leg to pass thereby, to be retained in the channel by the projecting portion. The flexing and snap action generally produce an audible click to allow the user to conform that the leg is securely seated in the receptor.
