Abstract (en)

[origin: US4958420A] A plug-type clasp for pieces of jewerly, in particular for necklaces, composed of a housing in which a sleeve is movable under the force of a spring. The sleeve has a receiving opening into which a connecting element can be inserted through a front-end opening of the housing and locked there. Both the front-end opening of the housing and the receiving opening of the sleeve are eccentrically offset from each other, so that the connecting element can only be inserted into the housing, and locked there, only after the sleeve has been pulled back against the force of the spring. Removal of the connecting part can take place in the correspondingly reversed order. Activation of the sleeve for unlocking the plug-type clasp takes place by means of an operating button, laterally guided in a longitudinal hole of the housing, so that the actual connecting areas of the plug-type clasp for pieces of jewelry, in particular necklaces, remain free of pulling stresses during the operation of the plug-type clasp. With the exception of the spring and sleeve, no other movable parts are required.
