ABSTRACT:
A female component of a hook-and-eye fastener is assembled from an eye body and an eyelet. The eye body of a hollow configuration having opposite end openings into which a hook body of a male component is inserted to engage the eye body of the female component, which body is provided with, in its bottom wall: upward-and-inward sloping portions in the opposite end openings; a recessed portion interposed between the sloping portions; and an aperture through which is passed a distal end part of a hollow shank portion of the eyelet. In assembling of the female component, the distal end part of the shank portion of the eyelet is staked so as to be plastically deformed into an annular curled edge abutting against an inner surface of the bottom wall of the eye body. Since the annular curled edge of the shank portion of the eyelet is entirely received in the recessed portion of the bottom wall of the eye body, it is possible to reduce the overall height of the eye body, which leads to reduction of the overall height of the female component, whereby the fastener is improved in appearance and texture.
