FASTENER SYSTEMS

摘要

An adjustable-length tensile member, for example, a strap for a wearable pack, can include a fastener member defining first and second apertures and a cross-member positioned therebetween. A strap can extend through the first aperture in a first direction, over the cross-member and through the second aperture in a direction opposite to the first direction. A cover plate can matingly engage with the fastener member to obscure a segment of the strap from view. Wearable packs can incorporate such adjustable-length tensile members. Methods for assembling such adjustable-length tensile members are also disclosed.

1. A fastener comprising:
a first plate defining first and a second apertures positioned opposite each other relative to a cross-member; and a second plate configured to matingly engage with the first plate, wherein, when the first and the second plates are matingly engaged with each other, the second plate extends over the first and the second apertures and the cross-member is spaced from the second plate.
