A releasable interlocking device comprising a pair of interactive plates, for fastening to apparel utilising a system of two interactive plates which when brought together utilises the thickness of the apparel and stud of a male plate to engage through the lips of the female plate to snap fit and lock without damage to the aforesaid apparel.

This invention relates to a modular dog toy comprising three disparately sized and shaped components, each having a hollow cavity for the reception of foodstuffs. The components each comprise a male connector and a female connector. One of the components has at least one additional connector about its surface. These three disparate components may be connected in a variety of different configurations to modify the difficulty of obtaining the food for the dog. This allows the modular dog toy to be tailored to suit the requirements and physical abilities of the dog.

A device to perform multiple uses with textiles in everyday apparel and commercial textile uses. It is a decorative piece or labeling device for apparel or textiles, a temporary and adjustable fastener for holding onto a single or holding together multiple pieces of material, as well as a temporary alteration tool that can provide a tailored effect.

It is an object of my invention to be used as a fastener temporarily engaging and holding sections of material, such as a single layer attaching itself onto the material just like a piece of jewelry on a blouse or holding together overlapped layers on material like on a jacket or scarf, without piercing the material, which can be adjusted or removed at any time easily. Component 2 of the fastener is a matching base providing a contact surface and protruding connection for a matching piece, component 1 that is pressed into place that gently but firmly connects to hold material together. The base plate is made of a lightweight plastic, resin, and or metal that has a patented gasket like outcropping with a built up lip that will receive and hold component 1, the top plate, pressed down to engage it component 2. This connection is key and is one of the most important features of this invention. Not damaging like other penetrating devices like safety pins or clamps with pointy metal or plastic teeth to grab and hold onto material surfaces, etc. The top plates can be made of plastic, metal, resin, wood, etc. in endless shapes, designs and pattern. This is the plate that is visible on the outside of the material or garment. Plate 1 can also be double sided giving the user even more style options or for more branding or labeling functions as well.

There is another function of this object when it is used with a third component is engaged. This object can be used as a means to do temporary alterations. By pushing through and holding some material inside the garment or material (showing or not showing depending on your style preference), it gives the appearance of slimming or shaping. You use the first two plates (1&2) as you would for the two previous uses above and then you are able to add a third piece in the center of the other two plates. See FIG. 3. You just wait to engage the top piece onto the base plate until you have pushed through the amount of material you wish gathered. Then you insert the component 3 all the way through the center of joined component 1 and 2 until it catches and seats underneath the beveled edge of the underneath section of component 2 mentioned above. All 3 components

A fastener for a garment, particularly suited to use in a garment such as a brassiere, comprises a female part and a male part that interlock together. The female part is connected to a first garment piece and the male part is connected to a second garment piece. The fastener is an overlapping fastener of the type in which the male piece is engaged with the female piece by inserting a connector plate of a male part into an aperture of a female part at an angle and thereafter pivoting the male part relative the female part thereby snap-fitting the connector plate in place in the aperture. The male part has a recess formed therein surrounding the connector plate which provides added stability to the male part and significantly increases its tensile strength characteristic.

A system for carrying or using a device includes the device and at least one attachment apparatus. The device may include at least one attachment element. The attachment apparatus may include a length of material and at least one attachment point arranged on an end of the length of material. The at least one attachment point may include at least one magnetic feature configured to attach and detach the device and the length of material. The material can include but is not limited to cloth, metallic (magnetic and non-magnetic), fibrous material, and so forth.

A snap button has a female portion formed from a cap and a socket that are connected together with a piece of fabric in between. The cap is formed from a base body having a circumferential flange with interruptions therein so that the flange can be bent outward during assembly. The socket is formed by a disc having a central aperture and a peripheral rim, as well as an annular insert disposed within the socket. The cap is connected to the socket by pressing the socket onto the cap until the flange bends around the annular insert to anchor the cap to the socket with the fabric trapped between. A male portion having a stud is connected to the female portion by snapping the stud into the socket such that the stud extends entirely through the socket and into the cap.

This invention relates to a button containing two pieces that snap together to fasten multiple articles of clothing. The top piece is made up of three parts: a detachable ridged color-coded cover that is used as both a pressure point to secure the invention, and a grip to rotate the invention in and out of the locked position, a male fastener that attaches the rigged cover to the plate with hinges that functions as the bottom of the top piece of the snap and lock. The hinged place contains a female fastener that secures all three pieces of the top portion. The bottom piece of the snap and lock invention is also made up of three parts: a plate to receive the hinges from the top piece, with a cavity to allow the hinges to rotate counterclockwise into a locked position, a curved structure that serves to connect the hinge/cavity plates and the article of clothing attachment, and a rivet that attaches to the article of clothing and the snap and lock invention.

A releasable interlocking device includes a pair of interactive plates, for fastening to apparel utilizing a system of two interactive pistes which when slid together diagonally utilizes the thickness of the apparel and, stud of a male plate to engage through a single angled flexible vane or lip to snap fit and lock over a solid edge of a female plate without damage to the aforesaid apparel.

A snap button includes a male retaining member and a female retaining member. The male retaining member includes a base, a hollow cylinder, and at least one protrusion portion. The hollow cylinder is disposed on the base, the at least one protrusion portion is disposed on the base and at a periphery of the hollow cylinder. The female retaining member includes a main body which has a hollow tube body. The hollow cylinder is housed through the hollow tube body.

A fastening system includes two elongated profile parts, one of which includes a guiding surface or ramp for positioning it with respect to the other profile part, for releasably fastening a carrier to a holder. Deformations of a rib of one profile or a clamping hole of the other profile are adapted to position the one profile in substantially clamped state in the other profile in the longitudinal direction.
