Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for a clasp configured to accommodate a strap of a piece of headwear, including a top loop having a catch end at a first side of the clasp, the top loop including a top portion that extends from a second side of the clasp to the first side along a horizontal axis of the clasp, the catch end extending from the top portion along an s-shaped curve to form a tip of the catch end; a bottom loop coupled to the top loop via a common middle portion, a top surface of the common middle portion having a lip; and a depression at the top loop on the second side, a thinnest part of the top loop at the second side of the clasp being formed by the depression.
Claims20
A clasp, comprising:
- a top loop having a catch end at a first side of the clasp, the top loop including a top portion that extends from a second side of the clasp to the first side of the clasp along a horizontal axis of the clasp, the catch end extending from the top portion along an s-shaped curve to form a tip of the catch end;
- a bottom loop coupled to the top loop via a common middle portion, a top surface of the common middle portion having a lip;
- and
- a depression at the top loop on the second side of the clasp, a thinnest part of the top loop at the second side of the clasp being formed by the depression.
A clasp, comprising:
- a top loop having a first catch end at a first side of the clasp;
- a bottom loop coupled to the top loop, the bottom loop having a second catch end at a second side of the clasp, opposite the first side;
- and
- a first depression at the top loop on the second side of the clasp, a thinnest part of the top loop at the second side of the clasp being formed by the first depression, the first depression defining a flex point configured to flex in at least two axes.
A clasp, comprising:
- a top loop having a top inner surface that includes a first side portion with a first radius of curvature, a substantially straight middle portion extending across a horizontal axis of the clasp, and a second side portion with a second radius of curvature partially defining a catch end, the catch end including a tip, the first side portion on a first side of the clasp, the second side portion on a second side of the clasp, and the second radius of curvature being larger than the first radius of curvature;
- a bottom loop coupled to the top loop via a common middle portion, the tip of the catch end positioned proximate a lip of the common middle portion;
- and
- a depression at the second side of the clasp, a thinnest part of the top loop at the second side of the clasp being formed by the depression and defining a hinge configured to resiliently bend when exposed to a first range of forces at a first range of angles.
