DEFINITION

Classification: 24/480

Having necked button sliding along length of closed, variable width loop:

(under subclass 465) Clasp* having (a) a projection gripping member consisting of an enlarged engaging head formed on or attached to a relatively narrower, rigid*, engaging stem (e.g., mushroom shaped) and (b) a cavity gripping member consisting of an encircling band or strip forming a variable width opening (e.g., keyhole shaped), whereby the engaging stem of the projection gripping member is moved from a wider portion of the cavity gripping member opening to a narrower portion to securely grasp the structure-to-be-secured* therebetween and prevent separation of the opposed projection and cavity gripping members.

(1) Note. The cavity gripping may be attached to the flaccid* strap or a supporting strap in such a manner as to form the closed loop when viewed as a whole.
