Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A stud snap system includes a pin, a receiver, and a stud. The receiver fixedly engages with the pin and also fixedly engages with the stud to attach of the stud snap system to a material. The material can include apparel, clothing, sportswear, outdoor gear, fabrics, coverings, and textiles. Use of the receiver affords a large selection of options for materials and geometries to be used for the stud since the pin is not directly engaged with the stud.
Abstract:
Known adjustable press-stud fastenings (10) consist of at least two complementary press-stud parts, namely a male and female part (11, 12), which can be snapped together for producing a connection. At least one press-stud part (11) is attached to a support layer (19) using a connecting piece (21). The other press-stud part (12) can likewise be connected to a support layer (20) using a connecting piece (21), or can be connected directly thereto (20). The adjustable press-stud fastening (10) allows the support layers (19, 20) to be superimposed, by the connection of the male part (11) to the female part (12). Said superimposition can be modified by the adjustable press-stud fastening (10). The connecting piece (21) must be capable of adapting to its support layer (19) in order for the press-stud fastening (10) to be additionally used for articles of clothing, such as jackets, trousers etc. In addition, the invention aims to provide a simple and secure adjustment of the press-stud fastening (10). To achieve said aims, the connecting piece (21) consists of a flexible material, enabling it to follow a deformation of the support layer (19) and complementary locking means are provided in the connecting piece (21) and in an indirectly positioned press-stud part (11), enabling a permanent, secure positioning of the press stud part (11) onto the connecting part (21). In addition, said press-stud fastening (10) should consist of a small number of parts that are simple to produce.
Abstract:
A fabric cover marking device is for marking the location on a fabric cover for a female fastener portion engageable with a complementary male fastener portion mounted on a structure to be covered, for example a boat. The device comprises a socket portion and a pin portion. The socket portion is releasably engageable with the male fastener portion. The pin portion is mounted on the socket portion and is capable of piercing the fabric cover when the socket portion is engaged with the male fastener portion. Embodiments for releasable engagement with snap studs, lift-a-dot fastener studs, and turnbuckles are disclosed. The method for manufacturing a fabric cover for covering a structure having mounted thereon a plurality of male fastener portions to which the cover is to be fastened comprises the steps of securing onto each of the male fastener portions a marking device comprising a socket portion complementary to the male fastener portion and having a pin portion mounted thereon, disposing a fabric cover over the structure and over the marking devices secured to the male fastener portions, piercing the fabric cover with the pin portions of the marking device secured to the male fastener portions, marking the fabric cover at each of the locations where the fabric cover was pierced by one of the pin portions, and securing a female fastener portion to the fabric cover at each marked position.
