Abstract: For use in combination with an expansible linkage bracelet of the type having rows of overlapping resiliently interconnected upper and lower links, a clasp adapted for adjustable and detachable connection to an end portion of the bracelet. The clasp has a casing with a base wall and upturned side walls defining a channel for receiving the bracelet end portion. A lid having a top wall with downturned side walls is mounted for pivotal movement relative to the casing between open and closed positions respectively exposing and enclosing the receiving channel. Engagement members at one end of the clasp are arranged to protrude between selected laterally adjacent pairs of upper and lower bracelet links, thereby retaining the bracelet end portion within the receiving channel when the lid is in the closed position.

Abstract: An adjustable clasp for interconnecting two sections of a bracelet, including in combination a coupling assembly secured to the end of one bracelet section, and a clamp assembly detachably fixable at selected locations along the length of the other bracelet section. The clamp assembly has a bottom wall with opposed side walls extending substantially normal thereto. A resilient pressure plate is supported by the side walls at a location cooperating with the bottom wall to define a space therebetween for receiving the said other bracelet section. A rigid clamping member also is supported by the side walls. The clamping member is adjustable between an open position allowing limited movement of the pressure plate relative to the bottom wall in order to accommodate slidable movement of the said other bracelet section through said space, and a closed position resiliently deflecting the pressure plate to positively grip the said other bracelet section between the pressure plate and the bottom wall.

Abstract: A clasp construction for use in adjustably interconnecting the free ends of a bracelet on the wrist of a wearer, including a clamp assembly that receives one of the free ends of the bracelet therein in slidable, adjustable relation and a coupling assembly that is secured to the other free end of the bracelet, the coupling assembly including a coupling member that engages the clamp assembly for removably mounting the bracelet on the wrist of the wearer.

Abstract: A bracelet linkage comprising a plurality of link assemblies each of which includes a thin outer shell having a central opening and a pair of bendable tab means extending downwardly from the central portions of the ends of its outer wall. Each link assembly also includes an inner member having a central opening of substantially the same size as the central opening of the outer shell. Each end member of each inner member includes first groove means which extends inwardly from its central portion and second groove means which extends inwardly from the bottom wall of the first groove means and then from the first groove means towards the adjacent portion of the central opening of the inner member for receiving the bendable tab means so that the outer shell is secured to the inner member by the tab means and end portions of the tab means are positioned at least in the second groove means.

Abstract: A bracelet linkage comprising a plurality of link assemblies each of which includes an outer frame member having a central opening and a pair of downwardly extending tab means, an insert the outer wall of which is receivable within at least the major portion of the central opening and an inner member having slots adjacent to the ends of the bottom wall with the tab means of the frame member bent into the slots and a series of connector links connecting a plurality of link assemblies together in end-to-end relationship, these connector links also extending through the slots and about the ends of the tab means.
