<p>A self-lockable loop fastener (11) adapted for attaching tags to articles of commerce. The fastener includes an elongated flexible filament (13), a receiving part (15) disposed at one end of the flexible filament and an inserting part (31) disposed at the opposite end of the flexible filament. The receiving part has a longitudinal axis extending generally perpendicular to that of the filament and includes a socket (17). The socket is provided with an aperture (21), the aperture having a longitudinal axis extending generally parallel to that of the filament. The inserting part has a longitudinal axis extending generally perpendicular to that of the filament but generally parallel to that of the receiving part and includes a plug (33), the plug being insertable into the aperture. The inserting part also includes a stop (41) spaced from the plug to prevent the plug from being pushed forward through the aperture.</p> |
