ABSTRACT:
An improved method and apparatus for attaching an award to a ribbon having a stitched ribbon end loop for securely receiving and holding a ribbon anchor bar, and an improved fastener having a ribbon anchor bar and a fastening clip. The improved fastener is made of a bendable single piece of resilient, thin wire having a preformed memory. The fastening clip has an opening which is formed by two free ends. One free end is twisted and positioned underneath and against the other free end for creating tension in said lower free end against the upper free end. The other free end is above and against the first free end for creating tension in the lower free end against the upper free end. An open position is obtained by pressuring the first free end down to insert an award therein. By releasing the pressure, first free end resumes its initial closed position to hold the award in place. Alternatively, the improved ribbon has a anchor member having a hole for receiving an opposite end of a fastening member. The opposite end has at least a portion where the diameter is bigger than the diameter of the second opposite side of the anchor. This prevents the opposite end of the fastening member from sliding down through the opening.
