Title: Clasp mechanism

Abstract: A clasp construction for interconnecting the ends of a chain, bracelet, necklace, or the like, together. The clasp is comprised of two components which are spring-loaded, and pivotally connected together. By exerting a gripping force against the clasp, the components can be pivoted relative to each other, thus permitting the clasp to be attached to, or separated from, a chain link, ring, or the like.
