What type of clasp is this? Anyone know its name?

Hello,

Would anyone here know the name of this type of clasp / mechanism?
It is basically 2 spring loaded levers with teeth that clamp on to a tongue with teeth when slid together- the bracelet clicks locked once, twice or thrice depending on how many teeth you incorporate.

Is this a style of clasp that has been around for a while? I feel like I have been seeing these for ages but don’t know the name for it!

Many thanks in advance!

It looks like a ratcheting box clasp possibly?

[EdwardS56053]

Ratcheting is a word I have been searching for

I know the buttons in the female side of the clasp are spring loaded with corresponding teeth.

Its a neat solution for sure.

Thanks Brennan

The concept behind the mechanism would be the same as this- again- I have seen these forever but dont have an actual name for this style of clasp- seems like a square beyonet almost?!
