The pair of mating male and female members are arranged to be magnetically coupled to each other. The safety catch is arranged to be moved to a locked position to mechanically releasably secure the male and female members together when they are aligned. The alignment groove is shaped to facilitate and guide the projection into it when the two members are magnetically coupled and appropriately aligned so that the safety catch can be moved to the closed position to thereby releasably lock the members together.

  • Patent number: 6032996
    Abstract: A combination zipper pull, button fastener or pull, and bracelet fastener. The device basically comprises an elongated body having a zipper-grasping or bracelet-grasping clip (e.g., an alligator type clip having openable jaws) at one end and an elongated button-grasping hook at the other end of the body. The body is formed of plural, e.g., six, telescoping sections which can be extended with respect to one another from a compact, short length, state to an extended, long length, e.g., approximately twenty-inches, state. The clip is mounted on the free end of the innermost section of the extendable telescoping body and can be rotated to any position about the central longitudinal axis of the device. The clip is arranged to be operated to releasably grasp a portion of a zipper or a portion of a bracelet between its jaws. The tips of the jaws are covered with a removable protective covering, e.g., some soft plastic, rubber, etc., to protect the zipper or bracelet portion.

  • Patent number: 5165258
    Abstract: A cushion for securement to a clip of a clip-on earring having a decorative portion including a rear surface a clip secured thereto. The clip comprises a loop which is arranged to engage the rear of a wearer's earlobe while the rear surface of said decorative portion of said earring engages the front of said earlobe to sandwich the earlobe therebetween. The cushion comprises a disk of resilient material, e.g., silicone rubber, having a top wall, a bottom wall, a circular outer side wall having an annular groove extending about its periphery, and a central opening extending through said disk. The cushion is inserted within the loop of the clip so that the loop is disposed within the cushion's annular groove. The top wall of the cushion is convex and the central opening is small to provide a relatively large area to engage the rear surface of the earlobe and thereby spread out the force applied to the earlobe by the clip.
