Abstract: An apparatus with no moving parts that enables the adjustment of the length and tautness of a serpentine article simply by sliding the apparatus. A self-locking and adjustable apparatus is described that consists of a body, an angled passage through the body for passing and gripping the serpentine article, and an anchoring channel for the attachment of one end of the serpentine article to form a loop in the serpentine article. The self-locking and adjustable apparatus can be used alone to apply circumferential force or with fasteners to apply linear force.

Abstract: An attachment device or replacement button device for mounting on at least one piece of pliant material includes a carrier member having a carrier head and a carrier shank extending outwardly from the carrier head. The carrier shank includes a piercing point and a joining region exists between the carrier head and the carrier shank with the joining region having a curved portion with a predefined radius. A receiver is provided for receiving the carrier shank and retaining the carrier member in a mated relationship with the receiver. The receiver includes a smooth receiver head for non-abrasive contact with a user and a receiver shank extends outwardly from the receiver head to define a receiving well for receipt of the carrier shank. The devices are mated by a friction fit and the receiver shank length combines with the carrier shank length to provide a predetermined spacing between the carrier head and the receiver head to allow the device to be operated in the manner of a conventional button.

Abstract: This invention provides a bottom end stop for a slide fastener in which an engaging/disengaging operation can be achieved easily and quickly without an interruption by a slider pull tab while engaging/disengaging the bottom end stop. A joining piece is attached to the bottom of one stringer and a fitting piece is attached to the bottom of the other stringer. The joining piece includes a holding portion that includes an insertion concave groove, a base portion formed on the holding portion, and a male engaging portion comprising a pair of elastically deformable leg portions provided on the base portion. The fitting piece includes a insertion portion which can be fit into the insertion concave groove of the joining piece, a base portion provided on the insertion portion, and a female engaging portion comprising a hole portion, in which the leg portions of the male engaging portion can be fit, provided on the base portion of the fitting piece. In operation, the slider is inserted into the holding portion to engage the female and male engaging portions. Then, the insertion portion is rotated and fit into the insertion concave groove so that the slider can slide. Since the female and male engaging portions are engaged on an opposite surface to a side in which a single pull tab of the slider exists, even when the pull tab of the slider hangs downward, the engaging operation between the female and male engaging portions is never obstructed.

Abstract: A rewind spring in a cassette for a seat belt retractor is assembled by first placing a mechanism cover on a winding jig. An arbor is fitted to a winding shaft of the jig. One end of a coiled metal bank spring is then fixed to the spring arbor. The band is then wound onto the arbor in the mechanism cover and a spring cover is fitted to the mechanism cover. Finally, a locking clip is attached to the spring cover to lock the arbor against rotation. A spring arbor for use in the cassette has a generally cylindrical shape and an axially extending slot for receiving an end of the spring. A step is provided in the profile of the cylindrical outer surface of the arbor in the region of the slot to compensate for the thickness of the band wound thereon.

Abstract: A memo clip with mounting pins for releasably holding articles to an adjacent object comprises a clamping portion and a mounting portion. The clamping portion has first and second clamping members operatively connected to one another and movable between an open position and a substantially closed position for releasably holding an article therebetween. A biasing member connected to the first and second clamping members biases them toward their closed position. The mounting portion of the clip is operatively connected to the clamping portion and has at least one mounting prong that is adapted for insertion in and securement to the adjacent object for mounting the clip to the adjacent object. The mounting prong is movable between a safety position with an insertion end of the prong substantially flush against the first clamping member and an in-use position with the insertion end spaced from the first clamping member to facilitate insertion of the mounting prong into the adjacent object.

Abstract: The invention is a refastenable mechanical fastening system, made of free formed prongs joined to a substrate. The prongs taper and are nonperpendicularly oriented relative to the plane of the substrate. Each prong has an engaging means projecting laterally from the periphery of the prong. The free formed prongs are manufactured by the process of depositing liquid material onto a moving substrate, stretching the liquid material in a direction parallel to the plane of the substrate and severing the stretched material to form the distal end and engaging means of the prong. The advantageous usage of the fastening system in an article of manufacture, such as a disposable absorbent garment, specifically a diaper, is also disclosed.
