A hook and eye fastener for securing two pieces of a garment together includes a hook part for mounting on one of the pieces and an eye part for mounting on of the other of the pieces. The eye part comprises a frame having an open mouth defined by a circumferential lip. The lip has a pair of slots formed therein. The hook part comprises a body and arm. The arm comprises an inner portion connected to the body and an outer portion connected to inner portion. A plurality of ribs are provided along the rear surface of the inner portion and a pair of divider walls are provided along the front surface of the inner portion, nestled below the outer portion. The divider walls project forwardly for location in the slots of the lip. The fastener is relatively slim, easy to use, and capable of withstanding high tensile forces.

An eyelets for a tarpaulin includes a female eyelet; and a male eyelet coupled to the female eyelet with a tarpaulin interposed therebetween, wherein the female eyelet and the male eyelet are coupled to each other through compression and bonding while the tarpaulin is inserted therebetween and are made of an olefin-based resin.

A metal grommet includes a front body and a back body which are brought into contact with an object. The front body includes a flange provided with a plurality of fixing bosses, a cylindrical front barrel vertically protruding from the flange, a plurality of outer coupling teeth formed on a front end of the front barrel, and a plurality of rib grooves formed between the outer coupling teeth at regular intervals. The back body includes a flange provided with a plurality of fixing bosses, a cylindrical back barrel vertically protruding from the flange, the back barrel being inserted into the front barrel, and an inner coupling flare protruding from the flange and spaced apart from the back barrel, in which the inner coupling flare is formed by casting, and is pressed by a presser so that a front end of the inner coupling flare is bent inwardly.

A method produces a connecting part (3) using an injection molding method. In a first step, a closure part (11) forming a component of an adhesive closure is produced having adhesive or hooking elements and is introduced as an insert part into an injection mold. In a second step, a back-injection process forms the connecting part (3) in the form of a structural part containing the closure part (11) as an integral component.

The present invention is related to monitoring movement, and in particular to systems and methods for securing a monitoring device to a monitor target.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed including6 a connector for a flexible substrate including a first connector piece including a first plurality of through holes and a second connector piece including a second plurality of through holes, the second connector piece disposable in opposition to the first connector piece to align the first plurality of through holes and the second plurality of through holes to define, via the first plurality of through holes and the second plurality of through holes, a grommet and a plurality of fastener receivers. The connector also includes a channel, defined at least in part by the first connector piece, extending across the first connector piece.

A clasp includes a hook component and a catch component, which may be used to releasably attach two ends of an article. Among other elements, the hook component may include a stem (for manually operating the clasp) and a cantilevered lip suspended above the stem to form a slot for receiving a part of the catch component. In addition, the catch component may include a slot-engaging portion that is coupled between the stem and the cantilevered lip.
