The tape extends through the buckle between the faces with the grooves open toward and fittable with the tooth and with the inner end fixed in the seat. The tape forms a loop to a side of the buckle opposite the outer end. Structure forms an eye through which the loop passes and through which the tape can slide.

Abstract: A releasable clasp or coupling includes a female member and a male member each having a cylindrical body, a flat front end disposed at an angle diagonal to the longitudinal axis of its body, and a rear end adapted to be connected to the end of a flexible member such a necklace, or the like. The female member has an aperture through its diagonal front end and the male member has a tongue element that extends outwardly from its diagonal front end. The aperture and the tongue element are aligned and slidably engaged to place the diagonal front ends face-to-face, and upon relative pivotal movement of the bodies, the longitudinal axis of the male and female members become axially aligned and the aperture and tongue element become oriented out of alignment to prevent accidental removal. The tongue may also frictionally engage the female member.

Abstract: A clasp for securing two items together includes a first section, a second section, least one pin and a force mechanism. The first section defines a cylindrical passage opening to the first face. The cylindrical passage defines at least one longitudinal J-shaped groove disposed longitudinally along the cylindrical passage. The J-shaped groove includes a main longitudinal portion, a transverse portion and a hooked portion. The second section has a top portion and a piston portion. The piston portion is complementary in dimension to the cylindrical passage. The pin extends transversely to the piston portion and is complementary to the J-shaped groove. The force mechanism applies a repulsive force between the second section and the first section so that when the pin is aligned with the hooked poration, the repulsive force drives the pin into the hooked portion, thereby inhibiting the second section from disengaging the first section.

Abstract: A substantially rigid shaft is obtusely angled adjacent to an enlargement at its distal end. The proximal end of the shaft and a receptacle, forming and defining an aperture slightly smaller than the enlargement, are flexibly affixed to differing portions of an encircling article that become releasably joined when the enlargement is forcibly passed through the aperture, Highly resistive to accidental opening, purposeful pressure applied to the enlargement by a single finger or thumb creates a leveraged force that assists the pressure in accomplishing intentional disengagement. Optional attributes include a magnetic pre-positioning for engagement and disengagement and use of gemstones as distal enlargements.

Abstract: A clasp for an ornamental material, such as knitwear, has two portions. One end of a clasp portion serves as a mating face, while the other end of a clasp portion has an aperture.
