ABSTRACT:
Improved spring fasteners are formed from a single length of at least partially hardened wire bent to form a generally planar base and a generally diamond-shape engagement portion or dart extending generally perpendicularly from the center of the base. The length of wire is bent at its center to form the dart. Free ends of the wires are crossed past and partially around one another to provide a scissor action to arms forming either side of the dart. The free end portions of the wire are extended away from the dart in opposite directions. Each is curled into a circular loop in which the extreme end of the wire is overlapped or butted with an intermediate portion of the wire to form a fully closed loop at either end of the base. The configurations are actually less compact than previous configurations and, as a result, is less likely to nest with identical fasteners. Fasteners can be used with gasket or gasket-like devices, including a tubular member woven from strand material such as wire, fiberglass or a combination of different strand materials. The base of the fastener is positioned against the inner side of the tubular wall of the tubular member while the engagement portion passes through the member and away from its outer circumferential side.
