Abstract: A clasp for an article of jewelry comprises an elongated rigid ring element, which may be of generally rectangular configuration, and an elongated rigid hook element defining a generally U-shaped part-receiving chamber having its base at the front of the hook element. The ring element has four parts or legs defining together an aperture which may be generally rectangular in configuration, the front part being of reduced thickness with the top surface thereof disposed below the plane of the top surfaces of the side parts. The two elements, when assembled together to form the clasp, have the front part of the ring element disposed in the part-receiving chamber of the hook element, a major portion of the aperture visible from the top of the clasp, and the top surface of the front of the ring element in substantially the same plane as the top surface of the body portion of the hook element.

Abstract: An electronic watch with watchband-carried batteries in which an electrical conductor completes the circuit from battery to watch. A standard, removably fastened watch part is used to securely fasten the conductor to the watch case. In one embodiment an electrical connector is inserted through a passage in the watch case and is firmly seated between the spring bar and a corresponding connector attached inside the watch case. In the other embodiment the conductor fits in a passage between the watch case and back cover while the back cover presses an angled connector into firm engagement with the internal connector. A battery compartment, the conductor and the connector are joined in a molded case for added durability and reliability as well as ease of replacement.
