Cloth member fastener

A cloth member fastener for clamping and holding an edge of a cloth member, the cloth member fastener comprising:

• a tongue;
• a loop frame;
• and
• a hinging stopper;
• wherein the tongue, the loop frame, and the hinging stopper are mutually coupled in hinged fashion by means of a common hinge structure;
• wherein the tongue comprises an engagement projection which is captured by the loop frame and which has a head portion and a neck portion;
• wherein the tongue further comprises a bent portion which is a part that is bent back upon itself toward a base end of the tongue;
• wherein the tongue further comprises a back catch which is formed at an end portion at the base end of the tongue;
• wherein the loop frame comprises a capturing hole for capturing the engagement projection when the engagement projection is inserted therein;
• wherein the capturing hole of the loop frame comprises
• a narrow capturing hole region which is disposed at a location toward the tip end of the loop frame and through which only the neck portion can pass;
• and
• a wide insertion hole region which is disposed at a location toward the base end of the loop frame and through which the head portion and the neck portion can pass;
• wherein the narrow capturing hole region and the wide insertion hole region are formed so as to be joined in continuous fashion in a long direction perpendicular to a tongue hinge shaft at the hinge structure;
• wherein the loop frame further comprises two hinge holes formed at a base portion of the loop frame;
• wherein the two hinge holes of the loop frame cause the tongue to be coupled in hinged fashion with respect to the loop frame by virtue of the fact that the bent portion of the tongue is made to pass through the two hinge holes of the loop frame in continuous fashion;
• wherein a hinge shaft of the hinging stopper extends in a horizontal direction and is disposed toward the base end of the hinging stopper;
• and
• wherein the hinging stopper is coupled in hinged fashion by the means of the hinge structure with respect to the loop frame as a result of the fact that the stopper hinge shaft is wrapped about between the two hinge holes of the loop frame by the bent portion of the tongue.
