A body protector (2) is provided. The body protector comprises at least one panel (8); a cable (4) which runs at least partially around the body protector; a rotational tightening mechanism (6) comprising a hub (12) which engages the cable; and a one-way hub lock (16); wherein the rotation of the hub in a first direction tensions the cable and the hub lock maintains the tension until it is actively released.

A jewelry attachment assembly includes a pair of cylindrical cases. One case has a male section including an annular flange with a pair of diametrically opposing radial splines situated on its periphery. The other case has a female section including a hollow sleeve with a shell. The sleeve includes a pair of diametrically opposite channels formed in the shell. Each channel includes an axially extending slot and an adjoining circumferentially extending slot. During assembly, the male section of one case is joined to the female section of the other case by registration of the pair of splines within the pair of circumferential slots by first guiding the splines through the axial slots, then guiding the splines through the circumferential slots. A pair of opposite polarity magnets are housed in the cases and disposed in adjacent relationship to promote magnetic coupling of the cases.

A band length-adjustable hook-fixing type belt buckle according to the present disclosure comprises a band having a plurality of fixing holes formed in a surface thereof and configured to extend in a longitudinal direction; a pushing member provided at one end of the band and including a pushing portion fixing part extending in a width direction of the band and having a fitting groove perforated therein along the extension direction, a spring inserted into the fitting groove to give elasticity, and pushing portions provided at both ends of the fitting groove to be pushed from an inner side of the fitting groove to an outer side by means of the spring; and a buckle provided at the other end of the band and having a slide groove perforated therein and extending along the longitudinal direction so that the pushing portion slides therein.

A dual slider mechanism to independently adjust jewelry lengths to maintain the fit and style of a necklace. This is an article of jewelry comprised of two flexible members and two sliding members with sliding ends and fixed ends such that the sliders attach to the flexible members to permit movement along the flexible members therefore providing a functionally independent interplay between fit and style.

A jewelry closure mechanism (e.g., clasp) may include a locking receptacle and a locking pin that operate together to provide a closure mechanism for a piece of jewelry. The closure mechanism may or may not include a hinge. In some implementations, a locking pin may extend from the second arm and be inserted into a locking receptacle formed in a second arm to lock the two components together. The locking receptacle may include one or more wires (e.g., spring and/or precast) that extend transversely to the direction of the locking receptacle. The closure mechanism may be used as a general jewelry closure device and/or to couple segments of j ewelry together.

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a releasable flexible coupling system comprising a base, a coupling member, and a sewn member. The coupling member is fixably coupled to the base across the widthwise dimension on opposite sides of the lengthwise dimension forming a recess between the base and the coupling member. The sewn member comprises a strap, a folded region, and a primary stitch. The strap includes a body and a lengthwise end. The folded region is disposed on the lengthwise end of the strap and includes a portion that overlaps the body. The primary stitch extends through both the folded region and the body of the strap. An optional stiffener may be disposed between the lengthwise end of the strap and the folded region. The primary stitch will also extend through the stiffener if present.

The present disclosure relates to a flap fixing buckle including: a plug member having a cross bar that transverses an intermediate portion of a loop-shaped frame, in which a coupling protruding portion in which a magnet is embedded protrudes from the cross bar; and a socket member having a coupling groove into which the coupling protruding portion is inserted and which is formed in an upper surface of the socket member, in which a magnet is embedded inside the coupling groove, and a wing portion extends at the periphery of the upper surface of the socket member, and as a result, when the flap fixing buckle is installed on a bag or the like, an aesthetic external appearance may be formed because of a simple configuration, and the flap fixing buckle may be stably and conveniently fastened.

An ornament clasp and an ornament that can be easily attached and detached. The ornament clasp includes a holder (10) on a fixed side having a holding portion (20) where a personal ornament main body (2) is held via an opening (21), a closing member (12) on a movable side rotatably attached to the holder via a pivotal attaching portion (28) and locking form inside the opening to cause a closed state, a soft member attached to the closing member at least on a side of gripping the personal ornament main body, and a spring (13) attached in a repulsive state between the holder and the closing member and pressing the closing member in a direction of closing the opening. A grip space S where the personal ornament main body is gripped in a repulsive direction of the spring is provided between the soft member and the holding portion.

A rapid release device (1) for wearable articles (2) comprising: a first body (3) having a portion (3a) for coupling to a first part (2a) of said article (2) and defining at least one through cavity (6); a second body (4) associated with the first body (3) in a reversible manner and having a portion (4a) for coupling to a second part (2b) of said article (2) and at least one interlocking element (7) housed in said cavity (6); release means (8) obtained in said first and second body (3, 4) to allow the interlocking element (7) to slide outside of said cavity (6) and define a decoupling condition of the first body (3) from the second body (4); said interlocking element (7) and said cavity (6) slide with respect to each other along a respective direction (A) corresponding to the lateral development direction of the first and second body (3; 4); said interlocking element (7) and said cavity (6) extending along a same longitudinal axis (Y) for a dimension (D) smaller than the dimension (L) of the first and second body (3; 4) along said lateral development direction.

A charm keeper assembly that includes a first and a second clasp member disposed at respective free ends of a strand member and a charm keeper body having a keeper body thickness and independently disposed adjacent to a clasp member and having a spring-loaded charm retention member at least partially housed within the keeper body. The charm retention member includes a retention surface spanning upwardly in a transverse direction away from an outer surface of the charm keeper body to a terminal end defining a keeper offset length when the spring-loaded charm retention member is in a fully extended position along a retention member translation path. The assembly also includes at least one charm member defining a lumen with a lumen diameter having a maximum length less than the offset length and the keeper body thickness, combined, when the charm retention member is in the fully extended position.
