ABSTRACT:
A tamper-proof bracelet is disclosed, which comprises an elongated band having at least one opening at one end, and a fastener at the other end. This fastener is in the shape of a housing having circumscribing walls, two of which are transverse to the band, a top wall and a bottom wall. At least one of the transverse walls is formed, close to the bottom wall, with a through aperture size to allow snug insertion of the one end of the band into the housing. Above the aperture and solid with the transverse wall is a locking tongue extending lengthwisely in the housing and gradualy tapering down into a thin edge, the tongue being resilient at least in the area of the thin edge and having a length sufficient to engage the opening in the one end of the band when the same is pushed into the housing through the aperture. A ramp projects up from the housing bottom wall to force upwardly the one end of the band when the same is inserted in the housing and to keep this band in fully engaged position after insertion, whereby any attempt at pulling the one end of the band out of the housing while lifting the tongue with the blade inserted into the aperture in order to tamper the bracelet, is rendered much more difficult.
