Embodiment Construction

[0024] start reference Figures 1 to 3 , the fastener 1 includes two identical half fasteners 3A, 3B.

[0025] The first fastener half 3A includes a flat elongated body 7A and short flat fingers 9A extending from one end of the body 7A through the stem 11A, the fingers 9A and the body 7A being substantially parallel. The stem 11A separates the fingers 9A from the body 7A so as to define grooves 13A between the lower face of the fingers 9A and the upper face of the body 7A.

[0026] The distal end of the fingers 9A on the stem 11A is provided with a convex matching profile 15A, which in this example is a rounded arcuate finger end. The portion of the stem 11A at the bottom of the groove 13A is a convex matching profile, which in this example is a curve of the same radius as the rounded finger end 15A.

[0027] The second half-fastener 3B has the same components as the first half-fastener 3A described above.

[0028] In use, the fingers 9A of the first fastener half 3A are in...

Abstract

A fastener (1) comprises at least two fastener halves (3A, 3B) each of which comprises a main body (7A, 7B) and a finger (9A, 9B) depending therefrom, the finger (9A, 9B) being spaced apart from the main body (7A, 7B) so as to define a recess (13A, 13B) between the body (7A, 7B) and the finger (9A, 9B). The recess (13A, 13B) receives, in use, the finger (9B, 9A) of the other fastener half (3A, 3B) to fasten the fastener halves (3A, 3B) together. At least one of the recess (13A, 13B) of one fastener half (3A, 3B) and the finger (9A, 9B) of the other fastener half (3A, 3B) comprises a concave mating formation arranged to engage in use with a convex mating formation (15A, 15B) provided on the finger (9A, 9B) of the other fastener half (3A, 3B) or on the recess (13A, 13B) of the one fastener half (3A, 3B) respectively. The formations are arranged to resist, when so engaged and under tension in use, the fastener halves (3A, 3B) unfastening in a direction away from the longitudinal axes of the fastener halves (3A, 3B).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fastener, and particularly, but not exclusively, to a fastener for use with or comprising a portion of a garment. The fastener can also be used to fasten other components or parts of other objects together, or it can also be used to hang one item from another. Background technique [0002] It has been proposed in the past to provide a fastener comprising two halves that can be removably fastened together. An example is a fastener on a bra, which includes a first hook-shaped fastener half attached to one bra and a second looped fastener half attached to the other bra. However, such fasteners can often be relatively difficult to fasten or unfasten. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a fastener comprising at least two fastener halves, each fastener half comprising a main body and fingers extending from the main body, the fingers spaced from the ma...
