ABSTRACT:
A clasp includes releasibly interconnectible first and second clasp members. The first clasp member includes an outwardly extending lock member. The second clasp member includes an inner tubular member slidably mounted in an outer tubular member. A lock member receiver is formed on the inner tubular member and, in a normal biased position of the inner tubular member, closes an aperture formed in a side wall of the outer tubular member to lockingly engage the lock member inserted through the aperture to join the first and second clasp members together. At least one and preferably a pair of diametrically opposed slots or grooves extend axially from one end of the inner tubular member and engage a pin mounted diametrically across the outer tubular member or projections formed on the outer tubular member, respectively, for guiding and limiting the sliding movement of the inner tubular member within the outer tubular member. Alternately, tabs are formed in the inner tubular member and are deformable into the slots or grooves. An end cap is fixed to an end of the inner tubular member normally extending outward from one end of the outer tubular member. Depression of the end cap causes sliding movement of the inner tubular member in one direction resulting in the lock member receiver opening the aperture in the outer tubular member to enable the lock member to be separated from the outer tubular member or, alternately, to be inserted into the outer tubular member.
