[0021] The exemplary embodiments described herein in detail for illustrative purposes are subject to many variations in structure and design. It should be emphasized, however, that the present disclosure is not limited to a particular clasp, as shown and described. It is understood that various omissions and substitutions of equivalents are contemplated as circumstances may suggest or render expedient, but these are intended to cover the application or embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the claims of the present disclosure. Also, it is to be understood that terminology used herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting. [0022] OVERVIEW: A clasp according to the present disclosure relates to a multi-piece mechanical interlock for joining at least two pieces of linear clothing. In certain configurations described herein, the clasp comprises at least two body components: a male body that is configured to insert into, and interlock with a female body. Generally, the male body comprises resiliently motivated interlocking extensions and the female body comprises receivers for interfacing with the extensions. Also, while illustrated herein as a two component body, in certain instances it may be understood that the present disclosure may be modified such a plurality of male bodies may be configured to insert into a single female body. The alternative construction, wherein a plurality of female bodies may be configured to interlock with a single body is also within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0023] The clasp in certain configurations may be used to join ends of a length of linear material. In certain configurations, the linear material may be a strap, a belt, or a bracelet. The linear material may be a natural material such as leather or a synthetic material such as nylon, without limitation. Additionally, the linear material may be an extended length of an elastic material. In certain instances the linear material may comprise woven parachute cord, hereinafter "paracord."

[0024] More specifically, the present disclosure relates to configurations of a multi-function clasp that is worn on the body or clothing to provide direct access to, any one of a plurality of small survival items. These survival items may be configured as a whistle, a compass, a water resistant or waterproof safety storage compartment, a light such as a laser or LED, a watch, an alarm, and similar devices, without limitation. The multiple configurations and adaptability of these clasps allows for quick access to survival items that would normally be located in the backpack, car, or another generally inaccessible location. The clasps are to be worn on the body or clothing with a band or cord that coupled to each portion of the clasp body.

[0025] In configurations, a whistle clasp serves a dual purpose as a clasp and as an alarm instrument worn on a person. A whistle is an air instrument that makes a high pitch sound from the vibrations of air split by a labium vibrates within a hollow body. The clasp allows for quick access to a whistle by a release of the clasp. The whistle is available for quick emergencies when running, in dark alleys, nature, traveling or hiking/climbing. The small clasp attached may be worn with a bracelet for quick access. The whistle may not be configured as a separate entity and thus is integrated into the design of the clasp. It may not be used while assembled in the locked position and the clasp needs to be released first for the whistle to be functional in some configurations. The whistle does not detach independently and is integrated into the design of the female body.

[0026] In configurations, a compass clasp can assist a person with directions or bearings without reaching for a compass in a pack, thereby reducing the necessity of searching in the pack. The compass clasp serves a dual purpose as a clasp and as a navigation instrument. The compass may attach to a wrist compared to other compasses that get lost, misplaced, or damaged in the aforementioned pack. In some configurations, the compass is configured to mount to the clasp female body. The male body is inserted into the female to lock the compass clasp.

[0027] In configurations, a mobile waterproof safety storage clasp serves a dual purpose as a clasp and a storage compartment. The safety storage compartment may be used in any outdoor situation to store medicine, sewing supplies, contact information, iodine tablets, fishhook/line, flint, earplugs, money, and other small items. The safety storage clasp permits transportation of medicine, vitamins and other capsules or pills. In one exemplary application, iodine tablets may be kept in the safety storage compartment to permit the purification of water in an emergency situation. Alternatively, flint may be stored inside the compartment to provide a fire starting means storable on an article of clothing or carried on a person, such as the wrist. Further, the waterproof safety compartment may store contact, medical, and other information for use in case of any emergencies.

[0028] In configurations, a light-emitting diode (LED) light clasp serves a dual purpose as a clasp and as a light source. The light is integrated into the clasp creating a multi-functional survival tool. The light clasp may be useful in the dark when a light source is needed. The LED Light clasp permits a user to retain a light source on their clothing or person. In instances, it may be used to illuminate keys, locks, tents, or other small objects for manipulation or when a small light is needed in an emergency. The light may also be used to illuminate the surroundings while one is hiking, camping, climbing, or any time when a light source is needed For example, in certain configurations, a beam of light may be activated with a push of a switch or button on the clasp. Alternatively, the light is activated by pressure applied to the switch cover.

[0029] In configurations, a laser light clasp serves a dual purpose as a clasp and as a laser light source. The laser clasp is useful when items out of arms reach may need to be identified and or to visually mark items while a person is hiking, camping, climbing, or other activities. In some instances a red or green laser light is activated with a push of a switch or by pressure applied on the switch cover.

[0030] In configurations, a watch clasp serves a dual purpose as a clasp and as a watch. In addition to providing timekeeping, the watch clasp allows for the extra cordage and band length that may be useful in emergencies while outdoors in nature. Examples of these times may be when one comes across hanging food from trees against bears, broken bones, lashing to make shelter, raft, and any life threatening, emergency situations. The watch can also function as a clasp to fasten and secure items while outdoors and hiking when a clasp may be accessible. The watch clasp easily allows for quick release for the wrist with its integrated Male and female clasp design. The watch is integrated into the clasp creating a multifunctional survival tool.

More specifically, laser 1005 may be configured to change transmitted colors or change transmission modes, for example from a solid transmission, to a blinking transmission of light. Further, the blinking transmission mode may be further controllable between a fast or high frequency blinking to slow or low frequency blinking, without limitation.

[0048] The laser clasp comprises of a body of approximately 1 1/2 inches (38mm) in length, 1 inch (25mm) in width, and 1 inch (25mm)in height. Arms 1002 are between about 3mm and 30mm long. Detent 1016 extends from outer face of the arm 1002 between about 1mm and about 30mm. The V-spring 1003 has a length from a first end 1003 a to a second end 1003b of approximately between 2mm and about 50mm. V-spring 1003 is folded to an angle of approximately between 5 degrees and 100 degrees at approximately the mid-point of the length.

[0049] Watch: FIG. 11 shows a perspective view looking at the multi-functional watch clasp. A watch body 1102 secures into female body 1103 and fits within the designs of the female body 1103. The watch body 1102 may be easily replaced in the female body 1 103. A cover 1 102 snaps onto the female body 1 103 to secure the watch body 1 102 to the female body 1203. Eyes 1 101 are located on both the male 1 105 and female body 1103 permit the linear material, the cord or band attachment. The watch cover 1 102 has an integrated screen protector 1212 sealed with a water resistant seal 1214.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 12 in addition to FIG. 1 1 the male body 1204 comprises of locking arms 1207, which are pressured by a V shape spring 1206 that pushes the locking arms 1207 into the locked position when the male body 1204 is inserted into the female body 1203. The female body 1203 has a depression design where the Watch body 1202 is placed. A watch cover 1213 fits over the watch body 1202 and snaps into the female body 1203. Watch cover comprises a screen protector 1212 and water sealant 1214. Arms 1207 are pivotable arms extending from pin 1209 to detent 1208. Pins 1209 extend through locking arms 1207. Pins 1209 are configured as a pivot and comprise a metallic or suitable material for pivoting. V- spring 1206 is configured to resiliently flex about the fold and return to approximately the original angle.

[0051] Further, pins 1204 couple arms to male body 1204. V-spring 1206 elastically urges locking arms 1208 in opposite arcs from pins 1209. V-spring 1206 comprises a piece of resilient material, for example metal without limitation. Male body cover 1205 fits over V- spring 1206; which pushes the arms 1207 into the locked position after male body 1204 is inserted into the female body 1203. Male Cover 1205 retains V- spring and arms on the male body 1204. The arms 1207 include detents 1208 that releasably retain female body 1203 features within the passage 1210 of female body 1203. The watch body 1202 fits into the watch compartment 121 1 that may be designed into the female body 1203.

[0052] In exemplary configurations, the watch clasp comprises of both a male and female component approximately 1.5 inch (38 mm) in length and 1.5 inch (38 mm) width, the arms 1207 are between about 3 mm and 30mm long and the detent 1208 extends from outer face of the arm 1207 between about 1mm and about 30mm. The V-spring 1206 has a length from a first end 1206a to a second end 1206b of approximately between 2mm and about 50mm. V- spring 1206 is folded to an angle of approximately between 5 degrees and 100 degrees at approximately the mid-point of the length.
