Abstract
The clasp for use with an adjustable length strap of the type used on a golf bags, back packs and the similar articles includes a housing having a open passage and a blind compartment in stacked relationship with respect to each other and a hinged lid overlays the blind compartment. The strap has a first end fixedly attached to the article and is positioned to slidably extend through the open passage of the clasp. The free end of the strap is looped through a ladder-lock buckle or similar device carried on the article, and the looped-over portion of the strap is placed in juxtaposed overlaying relationship with the main portion of the strap, and the free end of the strap is placed in the compartment of the clasp and held therein by closing of the hinged lid. Adjustment of the strap to a desired length is accomplished by sliding movement of the strap through the ladder-lock buckle so as to either increase or decrease the length of the main portion of the strap and this is accomplished without disturbing the clasp in that the strap is slidably movable through the passage formed in the clasp.
