Abstract
A cufflink device is provided having a cufflink base, a cufflink cap, and an elastic cord extending therefrom. The cufflink base has an upper end, a lower end, and a midsection. The elastic cord forms a closed loop that extends from the lower end of the cufflink base and is adapted to secure around the midsection of the cufflink base when securing a shirt cuff together. The cufflink cap is supported by the upper end of the cufflink base and can have a variety of ornamental appearances so that the cufflink device can be manufactured in any number of styles. The elastic cord allows the cufflink assembly to expand when a user pulls his or her shirt cuff upwards along his or her arm. The elastic cord may either terminate within the interior of the cufflink base or be secured to the base of the cufflink cap.

A cufflink device, comprising:
- a cufflink base, a cufflink cap, and a cord;
- the cufflink base having an upper end, a lower end, and a midsection;
- the upper end is adapted to fixedly support the cufflink cap to the cufflink base;
- a central aperture extends through the midsection of the cufflink base and terminates at an upper aperture along the upper end of the cufflink base and at a lower aperture along the lower end of the cufflink base;
- the cord forming a closed loop that extends from the midsection of the cufflink base and through the lower aperture of the lower end of the cufflink base;
- wherein the cord forms a closed loop with a first end and a second end;
- whereby the first end and the second end are affixed to a lower surface of the cufflink cap;
- whereby the midsection of the cufflink base forms a smaller cross section relative to the upper end of the cufflink base and further comprises a channel extending therearound;
- the channel being disposed about the midsection and between the upper end of the cufflink base and a lower ledge extending outward from the lower end of the cufflink base.
