JEWELRY CLASP

摘要

A clasp (40) for use in attaching two body members together, especially pieces of jewelry, that provides secure attachment. The clasp (40) includes a receptor member (42) having a surface defining a slot and a connector member (46) having a stem (64), where the stem (64), is removably positionable in the slot to releasably connect the connector member (46) to the receptor member (42). The connector member (46) is moveable from an upright position where it can be inserted and removed from the receptor member (42), to a second, or seated position, where it is resiliently restrained by the receptor member (42). The interaction between the connector member (46) and the receptor member (42) creates a connection that is not easily unintentionally released.
