Abstract
A functionally decorative fastening system includes first and second fastener portions, each fixable to an article, so as to selectively allow for the articles to be secured together purposes such as transit, storage or laundering. Complementary mating surfaces of each fastener portion include decorative features, such as artwork, logos, trademarks, or the like. The decorative mating surfaces serve functionally to selectively lock the two fastener portions together when aligned and pushed together. Such integrated fastening is accomplished via mechanical interaction between the decorative mating surfaces.

A functionally decorative fastening system comprising:
- a first clasp portion including,
- a first surface portion having integrated thereon a three-dimensional decorative image, and
- a first clasp mounting portion operatively associated with a second surface disposed opposite the first surface, the first mounting portion adapted to be secured to an associated article;
- and
- a second clasp portion including,
- a mating surface having integrated thereon a complementary three-dimensional image to the three-dimensional decorative image and adapted to be selectively securable to the first decorative portion by a mechanical interaction with the three-dimensional decorative image of the first clasp, and
- a second clasp mounting portion operatively associated with a second surface disposed opposite the mating surface, the first mounting portion adapted to be secured to a complementary associated article.
A method of fastening complementary articles comprising the steps of:
- securing a first clasp mounting portion disposed on a surface of a first clasp to an associated article;
- securing a second clasp mounting portion disposed on a first surface of a second clasp to a complementary associated article;
- orienting a three-dimensional decorative image integrated on a surface of the first clasp opposite the first surface thereof relative to a complementary three-dimensional decorative image integrated on the second class opposite the first surface thereof;
- applying pressure to the first surface of the first clasp relative to the first surface of the second clasp so as to mechanically engage the decorative image to the complementary three-dimensional decorative image so as to cause a fastening therebetween such that the associated article and complementary associated article are fastened together.
