Abstract
A link assembly for a band comprising a first segment pivotably connected to a second segment by a connecting pin. Each segment contains an extension portion and a receiver portion. The receiver portion includes a receiving area defined by two spaced apart parallel arms, with each arm having a co-axially aligned opening. The extension portion is appropriately sized to fit between the spaced apart parallel arms. The extension portion contains a transverse opening that is co-axially aligned with the parallel arm openings. A spring tube is inserted inside the transverse opening to provide a locking mechanism to prevent the pin from disengaging from the link assembly.
