  • Patent number: 4676076
    Abstract: A flexible bracelet construction comprises at least one longitudinally extending row of transversely extending tubular link elements and a plurality of staple elements which extend inwardly into the link elements from the side edge portions of the bracelet for flexibly interconnecting the link elements in aligned side-by-side relation. The staple elements each comprise a head portion and a pair of leg portions which extend in spaced, substantially parallel relation from the head portion thereof. The head portions of the staple elements are positioned adjacent and end edges of the tubular link elements when the staple elements are assembled in the bracelet and the head portions are formed in enlarged dimensions to conceal the end edges of the link elements and to better retain the link elements on the bracelet when the bracelet is constructed with a plurality of rows of link elements.
