A self-gripping fastening device for connecting together a pair of articles, only one of which is required to be provided with the device, comprises a plurality of hooked fastening elements made of metal wire or coated metal wire, each being secured to one of the articles. Each of the elements has at least one elongated shank terminating at its free end in a hook, and bent at its other end to provide an enlarged portion which anchors the element in the article to which it is secured by penetration of the shank through the surface. When the fastening device on the one article is pressed against the opposing surface of the other article, the free ends of the fastening elements penetrate and lodge in the other article to thereby effect adhesion between the pair of articles. |
