ABSTRACT:
This invention is a fastener designed for simplicity, ease of use, and economy of manufacture and implementation. It can replace all buttons in the garment industry, and negate the need for sewing and stiching button holes. It is durable and simple. For emergency use, it offers the ease of rip open disengagement. Foreseeable uses include packages containing life vests, emergency tools, medicine, and weapons. For sailing it can be used in racing situations where covered sails are needed immediately for sail changes. For camping, tent flaps are swiftly fastened or unfastened. In all cases this fastener can be used while wearing even thick gloves. Due to very simple and economical manufacture, in hospitals such fasteners require no tying or buttoning while wearing gloves, and as the material is very tough, these fasteners will withstand repeated hot water, detergents, salt water, and driers. For socks, they can be snapped to sock tops to match them prior to washing. For rougher applications at sea, the fasteners can be stamped out of stainless or brass and crimped like snaps onto canvas and other rugged materials.
