Slidably mounted upon the member a there are two clasps or the like, 12, said clasps being provided with openings 13, through which the member 5 slides, and within the confines of which the member 5 has frictional engagement in order that the clasps 12 will remain in the position to which they are adjusted on the member 5. Each of these clasps 12 has an upwardly projecting lug 14, and the member 6 is connected to these upwardly projecting lugs 14, by means of screws or the like, 15. Each of the clasps 12 is provided on its outer face with a suitable ornamentation 16, which serves to hide the clasp and its construction from View when the device is in use upon the head of the wearer.
