A clasp includes first and second clasp members which are coupled and uncoupled by complementary pairs of latch members, one of which pairs of latch members is mounted for pivotal movement in response to engagement with the other pair of latch members upon coupling of the clasp members and in response to the selective rotation of an operator for disengagement of the complementary latch members upon uncoupling of the clasp members.

A clasp for connecting together juxtaposed, longitudinally-extending first and second band segments to secure selectively an ornamental item, such as a watch band, upon a wearer, the clasp comprising: a first clasp member; first attaching means for attaching the first clasp member to the first band segment; the first clasp member including a first platform portion extending in directions generally parallel to the longitudinal extent of the first band segment, and at least one pair of first latching members carried by the first platform portion and extending generally perpendicular to the first platform portion; a second clasp member; a second attaching means for attaching the second clasp member to the second band segment; the second clasp member including a second platform portion extending in directions generally parallel to the longitudinal extent of the second band segment, and at least one pair of second latching members carried by the second platform portion and extending generally perpendicular to the second platform portion; pivot means mounting at least one of said pairs of first and second latching members for rotation relative to the other of said pairs of first and second latching members upon juxtaposition of the band segments and overlapping of the first and second clasp members, such that the latching members couple together the first and second clasp members in response to overlapping the first and second clasp members; and operator means carried by one of the first and second clasp members and coupled with at least one of said pairs of first and second latching members for movement of that pair of latching members in response to selective manual movement of the operator means such that the latching members are disengaged to uncouple the overlapped first and second clasp members, so as to disconnect selectively the juxtaposed first and second band segments and release the ornamental item from the wearer.
