SNAP-IN FASTENER AND APPARATUS FOR MOLDING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates generally to improvements in fasteners adapted for snap insertion within a work aperture, and more particularly to improvements in snap-fasteners of multi-piece form. The embodiment of the invention disclosed herein comprises a headed shank member and a sleeve member telescopically associated therewith. The sleeve member is secured in pre-determined spaced relation with respect to the work engaging side of the head and incorporates a laterally yieldable section to permit telescopic association thereof with a work aperture. The spacing of the sleeve with respect to the head is dependent upon a pre-selected lineal dimension of the shank, such dimension being determined by the thickness of the work to which the fastener is to be applied.
