Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0065868A1] A cufflink has a separable shank element (2) and decorative head element (1). The head element (1) has a rear wall (4) penetrated by an aperture (4a). A spring clip (7) is shaped like a spectacle frame, with free inner end portions (7b), and an arcuate bridge portion (7c) which tends to lie out of the general clip plane. This is entrained by a bracket (6) on the rear wall, whereby the clip (7) is made planar and resiliently urged against the wall with its free end portions (7b) obstructing the aperture (4a). Abutments (5) restrain their radial displacement. The shank element (2) has a semi-spherical head (12) with a pair of opposed slots (12b). When it is pushed through the aperture (4a), it raises the clip end portions (7b) (above the abutments) (5) and spreads them apart until they fall into the slots (12b). The shank element (2) is urged outwardly until the clip end portions (7b) are again behind the abutments. For release, the shank element (2) is pushed in again and rotated so that the slots (12b) are inaccessible to the chip portions (7b).
