A simplified springless fastener includes a housing or box element onto which a first fastener element, having a clasp, is welded. The first fastener element has a hook-like extension extending into the housing. Insertable within the housing element is a resilient tang, having a second fastener element, which will engage, in locking fashion, the hook extension of the first fastener element located within the rectangular housing. The fastener elements may be unfastened simply by depressing one leg of the resilient tang. Thus structure is simple and economical to produce.

By means of having taken advantage of certain physical properties of solids with a manufacturing process of incrementally deforming hollow links, there is produced new hollow simulated diamond cut multifaceted jewelry rope chain, which results in a product weighing up to 60% less than its solid counterpart, but which in its aesthetic looks is similar to solid diamond cut jewelry chains, and furthermore, with a hardness greater than the same hollow chain that has not gone through the process. This invention presents a new diamond cut chain, which costs a fraction of the price of a solid chain aesthetically similar, and in which the chain may vary in cross-section, such as forming a square or a hexagon.

This disclosure relates primarily to the making of compressed single and double arrow jewelry chains, of precious or non-precious metal, and other unique surface designs, from open link chains wherein the regularly repeating apertures of the prior art chains have been substantially eliminated, thereby providing an exceedingly smooth look and silky feel to the completed chain. The compressed chain of this invention is made by first precisely aligning two or more open link chains together, side by side, along a single longitudinal axis, welding, as by soldering or brazing, the aligned open link chains, and subjecting the thusly aligned chains to a series of incremental compression steps, along the longitudinal axis of the aligned curb link chains. In this way, the regularly repeating apertures of the aligned open link chains are substantially eliminated while creating, as in the case of the use of single curb chains as the starting point, novel non-apertured arrow designs.

Precious metal link wire for forming into individual links members having an outer periphery and an inner periphery. The individual link members are then joined into the jewelry rope chain. The link wires have a majority of their weight of precious metal lying in the outer peripheral volume of the link members. The links made from such link wire save precious metal without requiring a greater number of links to be assembled to form a given unit length of jewelry rope chain having a desired diameter, and jewelry rope chain made from such links have a smooth, tight, and non-corrugated appearance.

The disclosure sets forth a different annular link as the building element; instead of using a split annular link of a 3:1 ratio of link inner diameter to major wire diameter, the link has substantially thinner annulus for forming the rope chain, an annulus that requires an over 5:1 ratio of inner annulus diameter to major wire diameter. The presently preferred ratio is between 5.2 and 5.7:1. It is possible to use even thinner annuluses, i.e. having greater ratios, e.g., 7.2-7.7:1 with even greater weight savings (approximately 35%), or other even greater odd-numbered ratios of inner annulus diameter to major wire diameter (e.g. 9.4-9.9:1). Thus, while there is no theoretical limit, there is probably a maximum practical upper limit to the ratio of inner annulus diameter to major wire diamater.

A cigar package has an outer package with walls, a top and a bottom, where the outer package of a size adapted for use in a vending machine. The cigar package includes an interior cigar-supporting insert having a cigar-supporting portion and a mounting portion. The cigar-supporting portion contains an aperture and extends across the outer package at a point between a bottom-supporting wall and a top-supporting wall such that a plane formed by the aperture is oriented transversely to a longitudinal axis of the cigar package. The mounting portion of the insert is secured to a side-supporting wall of the cigar package. The package also includes an ash compartment separate from a main storage compartment. A lid of the ash compartment is hingedly connected to a rear wall. The package includes means for securely fastening the lid to the compartment when the lid is rotated upon the lid hinge to a closed position so that the lid remains closed when the package is inverted.
