Abstract
A clasp (10) for connecting two items includes two interconnecting members (11, 12). One member (11) utilizes a rivet (14) to engage one of the items, for example, a golf towel (23). That member (11) also has a receiver (24) formed therein which has a slot (25). The other member (12) has a tab (28) with a flexible button (30) extending upwardly therefrom. The tab (28) is received in the slot (25) until the button (30) snaps up through an aperture (21) in the cover (18) of the receiver (24). The members (11, 12) are thus attached to each other but the attachment can be disengaged merely by depressing the button (30) and sliding the tab (28) out of the slot (25). The other end of the member (12) has a foldable flap (26) which can be formed into a loop (40) to engage another item, for example, a portion (39) of a golf bag.
