A male button for a snap button is provided that can have an enhanced appearance and that can obtain an advertising effect and a decoration effect while representing a luxurious appearance and that can prevent foreign substances from being entered therein. The male button for a snap button includes: a main body 110 having a surface portion 114 and a press fixing portion 115 having closed front surfaces in order to form a receiving space 113 within a fitting protrusion 111 and a concave peripheral portion 112 protruded in a cylindrical shape; a deformation prevention device 120 received at the receiving space 113 of the main body 110; a snap 130 having a coupling rod 131 and fixed to the press fixing portion 115 of the main body 110; and a snap fixing plate 140 inserted and fixed to the coupling rod 131 of the snap 130.

A garment modification system comprising at least one garment modification device, comprising a primary face, a connecting mechanism, a transitioning section, an adjustable arm, and a joint connecting the transitioning section and the adjustable arm. The adjustable arm is operable to be positionable in a first orientation such that a portion of a garment is retained by the garment modification system and in a second orientation where the portion of the garment is not retained by the garment modification system. The connecting mechanism is operable to couple to a connecting mechanism of an adjacent garment modification device.

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a female snap connector with a base and a cap which opposes the base and forms a depth for the snap connector. The female snap connector further includes a socket that is formed into the cap for receiving the stud of a co-operational male snap connector. The base material of the female snap connector is or comprises a conductive polymer. The socket is set to deform elastically for complying to the passage of the complementary shape of the stud within the socket during insertion and removal of the stud in the depth dimension of the female snap connector.

Embodiments are generally directed to a snap button fastener providing electrical connection. An embodiment of a fastener includes a first mechanical part, the first mechanical part including at least a stud portion, the first mechanical part including a first electrical connector; a second mechanical part, the second mechanical part including at least a socket portion with a spring element and the socket portion, the second mechanical part including a second electrical connector. The stud portion of the first mechanical part and the socket portion of second mechanical part, if separated, are to interlock upon the application of a first force towards each other, and, if interlocked, to separate upon the application of a second force away from each other. The first electrical connector and the second electrical connector are to be electrically connected when the first mechanical part and the mechanical part are interlocked, and first electrical connector and the second electrical connector are to be disconnected when the first mechanical part and second mechanical part are separated.

A conjoining assembly for removably connecting a plurality of items such as, but not limited to clothing articles, to one another including at least two securing members removably attachable to one another. Each securing member includes a base and a retainer structured for connection to one another concurrent to the base and retainer of each securing member cooperatively disposed in retaining relation to a different one of the plurality of items. The removable connection of the securing members may include a snap-action connection between the bases, without the use of conventional or customized tools, concurrent to retention of the different ones of the plurality of items.

A connection device that facilitates easy manual connector assembly and disassembly, however, having the ability to semi securely hold the connectors together with a progressive frictional interference fit that can be disassembled with some additional manual frictional force, further, the connector assembly can desirably have a rotational lock interface to prevent inadvertent relative rotation between the connector assembly, in addition the connector assembly would have piloting interface to add bending moment resistance to the connector interface.
