ABSTRACT:
Tamper-resistant plastic fastener for use in attaching a tag to a piece of fabric, such as a garment of clothing, a product label or the like. In one embodiment, the fastener comprises an elongated unitary plastic member having a first end shaped to define a cross-bar, a second end shaped to define a paddle, and a flexible filament interconnecting the cross-bar and the paddle. The filament is shaped to include an enlarged portion, which is appropriately sized, shaped, and positioned to prevent a sufficient amount of the filament to be drawn through the fabric to permit the cross-bar to be easily aligned with the filament. Consequently, the cross-bar and the filament cannot easily be pushed back through the same opening in the piece of fabric through which they were originally inserted, making intact removal of the fastener from the piece of fabric extremely difficult.
