ABSTRACT:
Watch bands, bracelets, belts or similar articles which include strip means having one end adapted to be connected to a buckle. The other end of the strip means includes a series of longitudinally spaced transverse apertures. Each product also includes generally flat spring means and a buckle, one end of which includes pivot means for connecting that end of the buckle to said end of the strip means. The pivot means includes at least a portion which is of greater width than thickness. The other end of the buckle includes a cross piece having a tongue secured thereto for engagement selectively with one of the transverse apertures of the strip means when the buckle is in its closed position. The generally flat spring means engages said portion of the pivot means, so that when the buckle is rotated from its closed position towards its open position the force exerted by the flat spring means against said portion of the pivot means is increased and when the buckle is rotated in the opposite direction the flat spring means acts upon said portion of the pivot means to urge the buckle to its closed position.
