Cufflink

Abstract

The invention relates to a cufflink including a head portion (2) with a bearing surface (12) for bearing against a garment, a pin portion (3) to be inserted through a hole or a slot of the garment, and a clasp portion (4) with at least one pivotable tab (14) for locking the cufflink onto the garment. The cufflink includes an actuator (6) with a shaft (38) slidably mounted in a housing (5) and including a push button (52) at one end and an actuation arm (44) at the other end which is inserted into an actuation portion (21) of the tab (14) so as to pivot the tab from an unlocked position into a locked position when the push button (52) is pressed. The cufflink further includes a locking-unlocking mechanism (7) with push buttons arranged on either side of the shall (38) of the actuator (6), wherein the push buttons can be accessed from the opposite sides of the side wall (30). The unlocking is automatic and results from the natural grasp of the cufflink by the user. Advantageously, the cufflink of the invention can be very easily inserted and removed, in particular using one hand.
