Abstract
The present invention is directed to an improved fastening apparatus comprising a coil pin having a coil shape and a threaded pin receiver, said pin and fastener being releasably connectable by threading them together so that the coil and threads mesh. The coil pin may have a pointed end for penetrating fabric material of a duvet and duvet cover so that the fastening apparatus may secure the duvet and duvet cover together.
Claims24
An apparatus for securing a duvet cover to a duvet, comprising:
- a first body;
- a pin extending from the first body, said pin comprising at least part of a coil having elasticity;
- a longitudinally extending second body comprising a proximal end and a distal end;
- and
- a protrusion protruding sidewise from said second body between said proximal end and said distal end for engaging the at least part of a coil whereby the first and second body may be releasably secured together by a threading motion.
A fastening apparatus, comprising:
- a first part comprising a coil having elasticity, said coil having a coil axis and an interior space along the axis;
- a second part comprising a longitudinally extending body and external threads disposed around the body;
- wherein the first part and second part are releasably connectable together by threading them together so that the coil meshes with the threads and so that the body is disposed in said interior space of the coil.
A fastening apparatus, comprising:
- a first part comprising a coil;
- a second part comprising an opening for receiving the coil, said opening defined by at least one internally facing side;
- and
- internal threads protruding from said internally facing side;
- wherein the first part and second part are releasably connectable together by threading them together so that the coil meshes with the threads.
A fastening apparatus, comprising:
- a first body;
- a pin extending from the first body, said pin comprising at least part of a coil;
- a second body comprising a head with a penetrable material extending therefrom configured to receive the pin into but not through the body, so as to form a releasable mechanical connection with the pin upon insertion of the pin into the penetrable material.
A method of connecting a first and second object through a layer of material, comprising:
- providing a first object comprising a coiled pin;
- providing a second object comprising screw threads selected from a group consisting of external threads and internal threads;
- positioning the first object proximate to a first side of the layer of material;
- positioning the second object proximate to a second side of the layer of material in alignment across the layer with the first object;
- moving at least one of the pin and layer so that the end of the pin advances into the layer;
- and
- turning at least one of the first part and second part in a screwing motion so that the pin meshes with the threads so as to form a threaded connection.
