A press stud comprises a male element and a female element. The male element comprises a coupling portion which is insertable into a housing seat of the female element in a coupling direction. The coupling portion of the male element has an anti-uncoupling appendage which interferes with the female element and prevents the uncoupling of the male element from the female element when they are subjected to tension acting in a substantially transverse direction with respect to the direction of coupling.

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.

A vehicle enclosure (14) and method and system of installation using an adhesive-backed attachment device (1) having a base (4) with an adhesive backing (10) and a stud (12) or a socket (2) that engages a conventional a conventional snap (8). The adhesive-backed attachment device is preferably flexible so that it may be attached to uneven surfaces of a vehicle, such as a golf cart (15). The adhesive-backed attachment device eliminates unsightly brackets, drilling or screwing into the golf cart and cuts down on installation time of golf cart enclosures. The studs and sockets may also be integrated into a new roof (14) for retrofitting an existing golf cart.

The present disclosure is related to a snap system including a mating component and a snap component that connect by means of a snap fit or otherwise. The mating component simplifies the assembly process by combining a structural component and an attachment point. The snap component is associated with a removable component that mates with the attachment point of the mating component. The snap system includes a mating component that combines a structural component to secure a material and an attachment point to secure a snap component. The design of the structural component allows the mating component to be used with a variety of materials having a variable thickness. The mating component is a versatile feature as the structural component self-adjusts to the thickness of the material provided. The snap system decreases the amount of components necessary for manufacturing which may decrease the cost and improve the visual appeal.

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.

A switch clasp has a first part and a second part. The second part has a first set of zip teeth and the first part has a complementary set of zip teeth. A sensor is responsive to engagement and disengagement of the first and second parts to switch from a first condition to a second condition and a signal corresponding to the condition is output. The sensor includes a first section of conductive track connected to a first conductive tooth of the set of zip teeth and a second section of conductive track connected to a second conductive tooth of the complementary set of zip teeth. The zip pull connects the first conductive tooth to the second conductive tooth to electrically connect the first section of conductive track to the second section of conductive track when connecting the set of zip teeth to the complementary set of zip teeth.

A switch clasp comprises a first part and a second part. The first part has a rotor and a fastening structure to secure the first part to a first item. The rotor is rotatable between an insertion position and a secured position. The second part has an aperture and a fastening structure to secure the second part to a second item. The aperture receives the rotor while in the insertion position. The first part is secured to the second part when the rotor is rotated to the secured position after being inserted into the aperture. At least one of the first part and the second part includes a sensor responsive to rotation of the rotor to switch from a first condition corresponding to the insertion position of the rotor to a second condition corresponding to the secured position of the rotor, whereby a signal corresponding to the condition is output.

The present application discloses a fixing component, a mounting component, and a baby product. The fixing component includes a connecting member, an adhesive medium, and a flexible structure. The adhesive medium is disposed between the connecting member and the flexible structure; and the connecting member is fixed to the flexible structure via the adhesive medium.
