- the wall 80 is in one piece with a circular rear transverse wall 90, which is perpendicular to the axis 82 and has a continuous central bore 92 and from which two straight grooves 94 radially branch, which extend over the length of the diameter d1 of the rear circular wall 90.
- the rear wall 90 also has two radial grooves 96 on an outer surface of the body 4a, which grooves extend from the edge of the extend central bore 92 to the circumferential edge of the transverse wall 90.
- the grooves 96 extend along a diameter d2 of the wall 90 which forms an angle b ° of approximately 90 ° with the diameter dl.
- the body 3a is brought substantially coaxially to the body 4a, namely with the end part 58a to the opening 86 (FIGS. 5a, 5b).
- the bodies 3a, 4a are positioned such that the grooves 94 are aligned with the cylinder elements 62a (FIG. 5c) in directions parallel to the axis 82.
- the elongated element 58 is then inserted into the interior of the cavity 84, each of the parts 62a being guided over the corresponding groove 94 and creating an axial guidance of the element 58 with prevention of rotation of the element 58 itself (FIGS. 5c and 5d).
- the wall 68 lies against the wall 90 and the pressure element 64 is moved in the axial direction against the part 50, with the spring 75 being axially compressed.
- Fig. 6 shows a typical application example of a variant of the clasp in which the zylinderform ⁇ ge tube part 50 receives a first end portion of a cord-like element 100 which has a second end portion which is connected to the body 4a, z. B. with the wall 90 and by means of a tubular transition element 101 which is connected to the wall 80.
- the cord-like element 100 can be of various types and made of different materials and comprises e.g. a flexible element made of valuable metal (e.g. gold) or a flexible element made of flexible material (e.g. leather).
- the clasp described enables, due to movements that can be carried out easily, an effective connection between the bodies 3, 4 and 3a, 4a; the connection is also extremely secure because after the stable connection position has been reached, the bodies 3, 4 and 3a, 4a can only be decoupled as a result of a further twisting on the bodies themselves, any external disturbing effects (e.g. vibrations) have no effect on the connection Impact.
- the clasp shown also has modest dimensions in both embodiments, consists of a limited number of parts and is easy to manufacture. In the closed position (FIGS. 2f and 4), the clasp has an aesthetically extremely favorable shape since all of the above parts used for the connection (or the connection part 9 and the straight line) Element 58) are not visible from the outside when the clasp is closed.
