Abstract
A snap-type fastening for garment belts or the like consists of two arrays of headed pins which can be pressed together to make the fastening. Each array is mounted on a resilient carrier strip and, to ensure a positive opening and closing action, each row of pins is mounted on a nonresilient strip transverse to the lengths of the carrier strips. An operating member of S-form can be used to open and close the fastening.
Claims10
In a separable fastening comprising two elastically deformable carriers each supporting a plurality of rows of coupling pins having spherical, substantially non-deformable heads, which heads can be brought by elastic deformation of one of the carriers into non-positive engagement behind oppositely located and offset heads of the other carrier to close the fastening, said carriers each having a strip form with a longitudinal dimension several times longer than the width dimension thereof, the improvement wherein each row of pins on each of said carriers extends substantially at right angles to the longitudinal axis of said carriers and has a separate and substantially non-elastic reinforcement member of a strip form connected to each of said pins in one of said rows and to one of said carriers to extend substantially at right angles to said longitudinal axis of said carrier, said reinforcement member having a longitudinal dimension substantially equal to the width dimension of said carrier, whereby the fastening can be separated only in the direction of said longitudinal axis of said carriers.
