Abstract
The bracelet clasp is of the type having an unfolding buckle including a base strip (1) onto which at least a first pivoting strip (2) is capable of folding down. A locking device blocks the strips one onto the other. The locking device consists in two tongues (4, 5) raised from the base strip (1) and a fork having the shape of a tuning fork made in the pivoting strip (2), this fork having two branches (7, 8) whose ends (9, 10) are bent, each of said ends being arranged to snap lock onto one of the tongues raised from the base strip when the clasp is in a closed position. The clasp can be advantageously used in connection with a wristwatch bracelet.
