ABSTRACT:
A bracelet attachment assistance device has a frame member, a clamp member and a slider arm. The clamp member has a connection segment coupled to the frame member, a first jaw member, a second jaw member movable between an opened-clamp position and a closed-clamp position, and a clamping region along the first and second jaw members. The slider arm member is seated on the frame member, and has a biased distal end, and is movable between a closed position whereat the distal end is positioned adjacent the clamping region of the clamp member and an opened position whereat the distal end is positioned spaced apart from the clamping region of the clamp member. This bracelet assistant is used by gripping the spring ring of the bracelet between the thumb and the finger of either the target hand or the non-target hand with the tab of the spring ring, and then inserting the distal end of the spring ring into the clamp and positioning the spring ring with the tab close to or abutting the forward side of the slider arm. Next, the slider arm is raised sufficiently to hook the tab of the spring ring, and then is released to bear against the tab of the spring ring, to open the spring ring and continue to hold it open. Therefore the wrist of the target hand can be positioned below the clamp, and the other hand is free to draw the bracelet around and place the jump ring into the open spring ring. There is no manual holding-open of the spring ring during this last step.
