Removable fastener

A removable fastener for holding material, comprising:

• a base having a first surface and a second surface comprising a substantially elliptical flange spaced apart from said first surface;
• a frame having an outer frame section surrounding an interior opening, said opening substantially defining a first ellipse having a first orientation and a second ellipse having a second orientation, said second ellipse having a partial occlusion at opposite elongate ends thereof;
• said substantially elliptical flange being free to pass through said interior opening when said base and frame are in a first orientation wherein said substantially elliptical flange and said opening substantially defining a first ellipse are aligned, and said substantially elliptical flange being blocked from passing through said interior opening when said base and frame are in a second orientation wherein said substantially elliptical flange and said opening substantially defining a second ellipse are aligned, said base and frame being removably engaged in said second orientation;
• whereby a section of material may be removably engaged and held between said base and said frame without piercing said material when said frame and base are in said second orientation.

A removable fastener for holding a material, comprising:

• a first piece having a geometrically-shaped protrusion;
• a second piece having a geometrically-shaped opening corresponding to said protrusion, said opening adapted to receive said protrusion in a first orientation and to cause said first and second pieces to be engaged in a second orientation;
• and
• a seat formed in said second piece adapted to engage said protrusion to prevent relative movement of said first and second pieces when engaged;
• wherein said seat extends inwardly from said geometrically-shaped opening of the second piece of said removable fastener;
• whereby a section of material may be removably engaged and held between said first and second pieces when engaged without piercing said material.
