A coupling for securing fabric items includes a pin assembly which has a head and a shaft. The shaft passes through the fabric items. A catch is then mated with the shaft such that the fabric items are sandwiched between the head and the catch. A magnetic release member is employed when it becomes necessary to decouple the catch from the shaft.

A button product manufacturing device for manufacturing a button product by connecting a front member and a back member. The button product manufacturing device includes a printer configured to perform printing on a printed medium, a die set including a lower die configured to support the front member, and an upper die configured to separate the front member from the lower die, and a conveyor configured to convey the printed medium above the front member, in a conveying direction from the printer toward the die set.

A connection assembly includes a first attachment strap, a first mating assembly, a second attachment strap, a second mating assembly, and a tool key, which connection assembly is used to releasable couple a first article to a second article. The first attachment strap is inserted through a loop in the first article then folded around the loop. The first mating assembly is positioned on opposing ends of the first attachment strap. The second attachment strap is inserted through a loop in the second article and then folded around the loop. The second mating assembly is positioned on opposing ends of the second attachment strap. The tool key is used to rotate a rotatable portion of each of the first mating assembly and the second mating assembly to secure them in place on their respective attachment straps. The first and second mating assemblies are then releasably coupled together.
