A magnetic jewelry attachment assembly for selectively coupling mechanical clasps at opposite free ends of an article of jewelry, including a pair of clasp-retaining cases magnetically-couplable to each other. Each clasp-retaining case incorporates an elongated clasp-retaining body having a clasp-receiving channel extending into a proximal end of the elongated clasp-retaining body, the clasp-receiving channel extending from a proximal channel end to a distal channel end, the distal channel end terminating within the elongated clasp-retaining body. A clasp securement device is provided mounted within the distal channel end of the elongated clasp body-retaining and configured for releasably-engaging a first mechanical clasp at a first one of the opposite free ends of the article of jewelry. An elongated clasp-retaining body magnetic portion enable the pair of clasp-retaining cases to be selectively magnetically coupled to one another to form a composite clasp-retaining case that securely retains the opposite free ends of the article of jewelry while obscuring the respective mechanical clasps of the article of jewelry from view.

A retainer apparatus including a first retainer portion, a second retainer portion, a wireless signal transmitting device, a wireless signal receiving device, and a sensor. The wireless signal transmitting device, the wireless signal receiving device, and the sensor is physically contained within at least one of the first retainer portion and the second retainer portion. The first retainer portion is removably attached to the second retainer portion. The sensor is configured to detect the first retainer portion being disconnected from the second retainer portion and generate a warning signal. The wireless transceiver is configured to wirelessly transmit the warning signal to a controller in a vehicle to activate an audible warning alert to warn a user in the vehicle of the first retainer portion being disconnected from the second retainer portion.

A locking buckle comprising a first buckle member and a second buckle member. The first buckle member may comprise a first strap-receiving slot for receiving a first loop end of a strap, the first strap-receiving slot is defined in part by a strap-retaining bar and a body of the first buckle member and a strap-locking bar pivotably attached to the body of the first buckle member, the strap-locking bar pivotable between an unlocked configuration in which a strap may freely pass through the first strap-receiving slot and a locked configuration in which a strap passing through strap-receiving slot is prevented from passing freely through the first strap-receiving slot. The second buckle member is connectable to the first buckle member. The second buckle member comprises a second strap-receiving slot for receiving a second loop end of the strap.

A clasp assembly includes a pair of identical half sections configured to be coupled to one another. Each half section comprises one or more deformable features that are designed to deform during closure to create an interlocking engagement between each half section.

A clasp for a fancy bracelet comprises a body (1) having two opposite sides to which respective ones of the ends of the bracelet come to be fastened. The body of the clasp is configured as two complementary portions (1A, 1B), each of which forms one respective side of the clasp, and holding together by a magnetic effect. Each portion of the clasp has a groove in its fastening side for fastening to a respective end of the bracelet, which groove is a groove (3A, 3B) partially closed with undercutting, and extends longitudinally between two groove ends along the fastening side.

A reclosable fastener strip includes first and second strip halves each having a strip body and two hook units. Each hook unit has at least one pair of elongated hooks formed on a major surface of the strip body and cooperatively defining a recess therebetween. Each elongated hook is configured and dimensioned to permit being fitted securely in the recess of a corresponding pair of the elongated hooks so as to provide a suitable watertight seal.

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 clasp assembly includes a pair of identical half sections configured to be coupled to one another. Each half section comprises one or more deformable features that are designed to deform during closure to create an interlocking engagement between each half section.

A retainer apparatus including a first retainer portion, a second retainer portion, and a sensor comprising a motion detector and an alarm. The retainer apparatus includes the first retainer portion configured to be slidably attached to a first harness strap and a second retainer portion configured to be slidably attached to a second harness strap. The first retainer portion is removably attached to the second retainer portion. The motion detector is configured to detect movement of the retainer apparatus and activate the alarm to alert a user in a vehicle if movement of the retainer apparatus is detected.

A buckle includes two coupling modules coupled separably to each other. Each of the coupling modules includes a main unit including a hook member and a coupling member that has a retaining portion, and an operating member having an operating portion and a pushing portion. The hook member of each of the coupling modules is engaged with the retaining portion of the other one of the coupling modules. The operating portions of the operating members of the coupling modules are movable toward each other, during which the pushing portion of each of the coupling modules pushes the hook member of the other one of the coupling modules to disengage said hook member from the retaining portion of the coupling module.
