Abstract
A clasp which has a primary body and a secondary body couples a first elongated member with a second elongated member. The primary body has a bore and a pin extending within the bore. The secondary body has a rod. A pin bore is within the rod and defines an interior rod wall. A groove is within the interior rod wall. A leg is coupled to the pin. A locking channel is within the interior rod wall and coupled to the groove. The leg engages with the shaped locking channel for coupling and decoupling the primary body with the secondary body.
