A fastener device (10) having two components (15, 20) wherein reliance is on the deformation of an oval/ellipse shaped aperture (24) which deformation results from the insertion of a stud (15) into an aperture (24) which is formed within a socket (20), The attachment and the release of the two components (15, 20) being achievable by squeezing the periphery of the socket (20). The stud (15) and socket (20) may have a plurality of interengagement discs (17) on the stud (15) and at least one recess (22) within the aperture (24) of the socket (20) cooperates with one of the discs (17), where there is more than one recess (22) in the aperture (24) of the socket (20) each the recess (22) interengage with one of the discs (17) of the stud (15). There may also be two "stud components" (45A, 45B) which may be connected together end-to-end using a socket (40) adapted to interengage with each of the two stud components (45A, 45B). |
