Two portions are joined by a set of islands (06) provided on one surface (01) engaged within apertures (05) provided on a second surface (04), the islands (06) being configured so as to provide apertures (05) between sets of adjacent islands (06) so that when the assembly is subjected to a relative shearing force, the islands (06) are slidingly engaged within complementary apertures (05), defined by undercut sidewalls (02) and held in full engagement by a coupling member (08), thus forming a secure union which may readily disconnected and reconnected, is adjustable and which is useful as a fastener for diverse rigid and flexible materials. Also provided are alternate shapes and configurations of the device; diverse means for coupling the assembly in pre-engaged and engaged positions; and embodiments which may provide a reusable seal, an electrical connector, a singular set of the device, a linear plurality, a two dimensional array, a plurality which connects two coplanar parts by connection to a third part, and other designs. |
