ABSTRACT:
A key lock snap assembly for securing fabric covers to a supporting structure has a base member to be mounted on a supporting structure and having a post with a collar intermediate its length. A key lock snap engaged on the base member has a body with a flange adapted to engage with a fabric cover and an upstanding generally cylindrical barrel providing a top wall with a key-receiving aperture therein and a downwardly opening generally cylindrical cavity. Seated in the cavity are a key code having a key passage, a locking element resiliently deflectable about the collar of the post and engageable with the post, and a rotatable lock in the barrel which will engage the locking element in its position engaging the post below the collar, and this precludes deflection of the locking element about the collar. A key is insertable into the aperture of the top wall of the body and through the aperture of code element into the lock to effect its rotation. When the lock is in one position, it allows the snap to be snapped onto or removed from the post of the base member; when it is in its other position, it locks the locking element on the post to secure the snap on the post.
