Slip clasp
The present invention utilizes a female coupler and male coupler to connect jewelry. The male coupler, featuring a stop, a shaft, and a buffer slides into a first channel within the shoot portion of a female coupler. The stop is rotated into position within a second channel of the scoop portion of the female coupler. The scoop portion secures the male coupler within the female coupler until a user forcibly rotates the stop to remove it from the scoop portion. The present invention only requires grasping of each of coupler and does not require squeezing any components.
REEL BASED LACING SYSTEM
A lacing system configured to selectively adjust the size of an opening on an object and allow for the incremental release of the lace within the lacing system. The lacing system can have a reel comprising a housing, a spool supported by the housing, and a knob supported by the housing. The reel can be configured so that cable is gathered in the channel formed in the spool when the spool is rotated in a first direction relative to the housing, and so that cable can be incrementally released from the spool when the spool is rotated in a second direction relative to the housing. In some embodiments, the reel can include a rotation limiter which can be configured to prevent over-tightening of the lacing system and/or to prevent rotation past the substantially fully loosened state.

Sectional jewelry system and product
A sectional bra system and accessories includes bra and related jewelry components that can be interconnected in various ways. Jewelry items, such as bra straps, back bands, bridge, and other items, may be formed at least in part from alternating flexible chain segments and rigid connector segments with fasteners configured to attach to standard bra loops. Bra cups for sectional bras include various arrangements of standard bra loops allowing attachment of one or more bra straps, one or more back bands, a bridge, and alternatively other decorative items. Such bra cups may include standard bra loops along all edges. Coordinating jewelry may be made out of the same or similar types of components.
Signal emitting member attachment system and arrangement
A signal emitting member attachment system for attaching at least one signal emitting member to an item to be tracked, which includes an adjustable band configured to be placed on the item; and at least one fob. The adjustable band and the at least one fob are configured so that the at least one fob is connectable to the band. The at least one signal emitting member is disposed on the at least one fob.
Jewelry clasp
A jewelry clasp comprises a male member having prong. A distal groove of the prong is configured to glide into a bore slot of a female member. A barrier wall within the bore slot is configured to stop the prong. One or more safety pegs are configured to retract a spring held in place by a housing beam peg and support beam peg as the prong glides into the bore slot.
