JEWELRY CLASP Clasp for connecting one end of a piece of jewelry to the other and includes a tongue member and a box member. The tongue member has a base with opposite edges, a front end, and a transverse attachment portion at the rear end for attachment to one end of the piece of jewelry. The box member has a base with a front end and with opposite upstanding side walls, and a transverse attachment portion connecting the side walls at the front end for attachment to the other end of the piece of jewelry. The attachment portion of the box member forms a transverse opening wide enough to receive the front end of the base of the tongue member. Each member is constructed and arranged such that the opposite edges of the tongue member slideably engage the upstanding side walls of the box member when the front end of the tongue member is inserted into the opening. The tongue member is provided with a pair of resilient detents integral with and defining the edges of the base. A pair of detent receptors is provided in the upstanding walls in the box member for receiving the detents and releaseably preventing separation of the members when they are mated by insertion of the front end of the tongue member into the opening until the attachment portions on the members are adjacent to each other. Blanks for forming the tongue and box members. |
