ABSTRACT:
A separable fastener is provided, consisting of a male member with a stem portion and a T-shaped head portion, and a female member in the shape of an elongated body having a tail portion and a forward portion that is bent with respect to the tail portion. The body has an opening adjacent the bent portion, the opening of sufficient length to permit insertion of one arm of the T-shaped head portion of the male member. The bent forward portion of the female member terminates at an edge which interferes with complete passage of the T-shaped head portion through the opening in any but one particular orientation of the male member with respect to the female member. The edge has an indentation which is adapted to receive the T-shaped head portion when the male member is in that particular orientation, thus permitting the avoidance of interference and a complete passage of the T-shaped head portion through the opening. The opening also has a part wide enough to permit swivelling of the stem portion of the male member after passage of the T-shaped head portion through the opening.
