ABSTRACT:
A two part or component fastening device or apparatus wherein reliance is on the deformation of an oval/ellipse shaped aperture which deformation results from the insertion of a stud component into the aperture which is formed within a socket component. The present invention permits the attachment of two components and the release of such attached components both steps being achievable using the squeezing or pinching forces on only the periphery of a so called socket component and exertable with the use of one hand; more specifically the use of the fingers of one hand. More particularly, the invnetion disclosed herein is very simply based upon the deformation by a substantially cylindrical shaped member of an oval or elliptically cross-sectioned aperture which results in forces, due to the deformation and due to the characteristics of the material in which the aperture in located, which cause two components, a stud component and a socket component, to interengage and the interengagemeent can be caused to be released by the simple squeezing or pinching of only the socket component using the fingers of one hand. The fastener of the instant invention can thus be engaged and disengaged having access to only the socket component.
