ABSTRACT:
A locking fastener provides an improved fastener for fastenable materials or objects which include sheet-metal, plastics, paper products and wood. The locking fastener is comprised of a first and second portions projecting in spaced relationship from a base portion. The first projecting portion includes a slotted aperture through which a locking pin is retained. In one embodiment the slotted aperture of the first projecting portion includes opposed barbs along the upper and lower edges which interlock with the locking pin providing a one-way action of the locking pin, thus not allowing the removal of the locking pin. The second projecting portion includes a slotted aperture for the receiving of locking pin retained in first projecting portion. The spaced relationship of the first and second projecting portions from the base portion provides an access slot for fastenable materials or objects. The fastenable materials or objects include corresponding slotted apertures with those of the first and second projecting portions, and are inserted into the access slot. The retained locking pin of the first projecting portion is inserted through the apertures of the fastenable materials or objects and into the slotted aperture of the second projecting portion.
