ABSTRACT:
A bangle includes first and second bangle members, each having a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end of the first bangle member is pivotally connected to the distal end of the second bangle member to permit relative movement between the first and second bangle members. A first locking member is provided at the proximal end of the first bangle member and a second locking member is provided at the proximal end of the second bangle member. The first locking member is selectively moveable between a closed position where the first locking member engages the second locking member to releasably secure the proximal end of the first bangle member to the proximal end of the second bangle member, and an open position where the first locking member is separated from the second locking member. The first locking member is adapted to be released from the closed position and move to the open position when a force is applied to the first and second bangle members sufficient to cause the first and second bangle members to pivot a predetermined distance in a direction where the proximal ends move toward one another. This force can be applied by squeezing the first and second bangle members between two fingers on the same hand.
