A snap-type fastener arrangement includes various elements. For example, the snap-type fastener arrangement includes a socket component and a stud component. The stud component is insertable into the socket component to releasably couple two items together. The snap-type fastener includes a construction having a relatively low profile that does not extensively protrude outward from the underlying article to which the snap-type fastener is attached. The socket component includes a portion for securing the socket component to a textile layer and a central portion that extends through the textile layer. The stud component may be inserted into a socket aperture in the central portion of the socket in order to mate the two components.

The Snap No Mo invention centers around the innovative concept of providing a fast, easy and safe way to connect, install or remove any item. This concept uses or replaces the conventional snap fasteners system for connecting any item with less effort to the installer or damage to the material and with a minimal amount of strength.

A fastener assembly for securing a string and/or netting includes a cord fastener and a cord. A cord fastener includes: a body including a base wall; a clasp disposed on the base wall; and an opening disposed on the base wall and spaced apart from the clasp. The base wall has a curved surface between the clasp and the opening. A cord is detachably coupled to the cord fastener and extends through at least one of the clasp or the opening.

A mechanical closure and fastening device, having a first part (1), made of a plate with a pin (1A) extending therefrom, the pin having first and second shaped sections in registry alignment and a narrower engaging section therebetween; and a second part (2), made of three plates (2A), (2B) and (2C), joined together, each having an opening in registry alignment and shaped to receive the first and second shaped sections when the pin is inserted thereinto; wherein plate (2B) has a rotatable plate within a fixed housing and having a lever (3) with which the rotatable plate may be rotated between an open position and a tightened, locked position within the housing, wherein in the tightened, locked position the opening in the rotatable plate is rotated out of registry alignment with the openings in plates (2A) and (2C); and wherein when the rotatable plate is in the open position, and the pin (1A) is inserted into the openings, the first and second shaped sections of pin (1A) are fixedly engaged by the openings in plates (2A) and (2C), and the engaging section therebetween is aligned with the opening in plate (2B), the rotatable plate may be rotated with the lever (3) about the engaging section to the tightened, locked position to thereby capture the first shaped section and lock the first and second parts (1) and (2) together.

A snap button can include a snap button body and a fastener connected to the snap button body with a cloth interposed between them, wherein the snap button body includes a button member including a base; and a metal eyelet attached to an inner surface of the base, the inner surface being placed to face the cloth, wherein the button member includes an engaging portion provided on an outer surface opposite to the inner surface of the base, wherein the fastener includes a fastener base and a pin to be swaged, which protrudes from an inner surface of the fastener base, the inner surface being placed to face the cloth, and wherein the eyelet includes a cylindrical portion receiving the pin, the cloth being pierced by the pin, and the pin being swaged on the inner surface of the base of the button member.

A magnetic fastener system has a first fastener structure with a body with a first side and a second side. At least one of a male or female friction-snap fastener is positioned on the first side. A pocket is formed within the second side and a magnet is positioned therein. A recessed surface is formed in an interior of the pocket. A captive wall is formed around the recessed surface. The magnet is positioned between the first side and the recessed surface. A second fastener structure has a shape defined by an outer sidewall, wherein the shape of the outer sidewall substantially matches a shape defined by the captive wall, wherein second fastener structure is removably insertable into the pocket, and the first and second fastener structures are magnetically connectable. At least a third fastener structure is removably connectable to at least one of the male or the female friction-snap fastener.

Parametrizable wrist watch which consists of a strap (1) and an indication mechanism (2). The indication mechanism (2) consists of a base (3), which has threads (8) to be screwed to a respective mounting ring (6), which respectively has threads (7). Between them the function mechanism (4) and the glass (5) are enclosed. The base (3) has at its lower part, some sockets or incisions (9), which are used for the connection of the indication mechanism (2) with buttons (10) on a surface (11). The surface is connected to the strap (1) by pins, or the strap itself presents said buttons (10) for connection with the base (3) via said sockets or incisions (9).

A snap button includes a female snap body and a socket ring. The female snap body includes a bottom portion and a side wall rising from a peripheral edge of the bottom portion, the side wall provided with a holding portion for holding the socket ring. The socket ring includes a flange portion arranged radially outward and held by the holding portion and an engaging portion arranged radially inside the flange portion. The engaging portion protrudes downwardly toward the bottom portion side of the female snap body and below the flange portion, in the axial direction of the socket ring. An inner diameter of the socket ring may be gradually increased from an intermediate point in the axial direction of the engaging portion to one end and other end in the axial direction of the engaging portion. The engaging portion of the socket ring may be provided with a plurality of slits along the radial direction in the circumferential direction.

Apparatus and method of locking two devices to each other through a receiver base, a pair of pivoting locking tabs, each having first and second arms extending out from a pivot point, and an insert that is partially engaged within a cavity formed by the receiver base and locking tabs. The receiver base is configured to be engageable with a first device. The insert is configured to be engageable with a second device. An optional push button assembly that has a retractable lip is engageable with the receiver base to block rotational movement of the locking tabs unless the lip of the push button is retracted. The apparatus may also include magnetic actuators and corresponding electronic switches that provide two stage locking and, optionally, provide contact state signaling to an external controller and computer to verify locked/unlocked status of the insert relative to the receiver base cavity and locking tabs.
