ABSTRACT:
A clasp for an article of jewelry or the like of the type having a latch member engageable with a keeper member for fastening the clasp. The latch member has a resiliently depressible hook portion disposed for movement from a normally extended position to a flexed position. The keeper member comprises a housing having an open end through which the hook portion of the latch member may be inserted or withdrawn when the hook portion is in its flexed position. The housing also includes an apertured wall located to receive the hook portion for engaging the latch member within the housing and permitting the hook portion to move to its extended position for fastening the clasp. The hook portion extends beyond the aperture in the housing wall when the latch member is engaged within the housing, and terminates in an end portion overlying an edge portion of the housing wall forming the periphery of said aperture when the latch member is moved in the direction of withdrawal from the housing. The overlying relation of the hook end portion to the housing wall prevents the hook portion from moving to the flexed position to inadvertently unfasten the clasp. At such time as it is desired to unfasten the clasp, the latch member is moved in the direction of insertion in said housing to align said hook portion with said aperture and the hook portion is then moved to its flexed position to permit the latch member portion to be withdrawn through the open end of the housing.
