A top stop for a slide fastener includes a first body portion, which includes a channel having an inlet at a first side of the top stop and an outlet at a second side of the top stop. The channel is defined by a channel first side wall and a channel second side wall, and a channel bottom surface therebetween. The channel second side wall includes a protruding portion, which defines an abutment protrusion in the channel. A distance parallel to the longitudinal axis of the top stop between the channel first side wall and channel second side wall defines a channel width. The channel width extending from the abutment protrusion to the channel first side wall is less than the channel width at the inlet and the channel width at the outlet.

A fastening device includes at least one base portion and at least one fastener portion. The base portion is connected to a first object and the fastener portion is slidably assembled to the base portion. The fastener portion cooperates with the base portion to provide a locking and an unlocking function for connecting or disconnecting a second object to or from the base portion. With these arrangements, two objects can be repeatedly and quickly connected to or disconnected from each other.
