A Functional Swivel Clasp for Small Accessory Lines
This Paris-type spring hook is a compact connecting part used where a keychain, mini wallet, badge holder or bag decoration needs to be removed from a ring. It combines a gate at the hook with a lower swivel connection for the strap. The base material is zamak and the finish options support different metallic looks. Choose it by the two separate openings rather than by a generic keychain-hook label.
Read the Dimensions Before Selecting Webbing
The full exterior is 31 × 12 mm (1.22 × 0.47 in). The lower strap passage is 10 mm (0.39 in), making the model a one-centimeter strap class. Inside the sprung hook is a separate 7 × 10 mm (0.28 × 0.39 in) space that receives the ring. A finished 10 mm (0.39 in) strap with thick folds can fit differently than flat tape. Check the thickness at its stitched or riveted end.
Compatible Rings Depend on Wire Gauge
The gate must open far enough to accept the actual ring wire. After closing, the wire should move within the hook's inner cavity without jamming against the spring. A nominal ring diameter does not confirm its wire thickness or its compatibility with the 7 mm (0.28 in) internal width. Before a production order, assemble a sample of the precise ring and strap planned for the finished accessory.
Finish Options Are Not Material Grades
Nickel gives a silver appearance, Black Nickel/Gunmetal a darker metallic gray, and Gold a gold-tone surface. All options share a zamak base-material description; none indicates stainless steel or a rated marine-use coating. Pair the selected finish with a physical sample of the rings, buckles or chain rather than relying only on photographs. Differences in lighting and supplier coating lots can affect perceived color.
Spring-Gate Operation and Swivel Motion
The spring gate is designed to open for connection and close after the ring is inside. The swivel can help the strap change direction as a keychain or mini bag moves. It is not a locking safety karabiner or documented heavy-load fitting. Inspect the gate's return and swivel freedom when assembling a product, and avoid forcing unusually thick rings through the opening.
Strap-End Assembly and Workshop Checks
The metal clasp itself does not need a snap-fastener setting die. Pass suitable webbing through the lower strap slot, then stitch the fold or attach a properly chosen fastening component. Rivet tooling, where required, belongs to the strap's design. A useful quality-control sample checks the finished width, fold thickness, surface burrs, spring return and natural pull direction.
Bulk Quantity and Alternative Proportions
The recorded ordering minimum is 100 pieces. Catalog discounts are set at 500, 1,000 and 5,000 pieces. When comparing different Paris clasps, confirm actual body dimensions and the 10 mm (0.39 in) slot rather than relying on a similar photograph. For finishing requests, provide a sample, intended ring wire thickness and production quantity to check suitability.
