Abstract

A fastener connecting two materials, with a first material having a strap aperture. A second material had an edge, and a strap extending past the edge toward the first material. The strap has a top and bottom side affixing mechanisms. The second material has a second material affixing mechanism and a hinged material panel disposed proximate the second material affixing mechanism comprising a hinged panel affixing mechanism. The fastener has a fastened where the strap passes through the strap aperture, reverse back upon itself and passes the edge. The bottom side affixing mechanism is affixed to the second material affixing mechanism; and the top side affixing mechanism is affixed to the hinged panel affixing mechanism. The strap is interposed between both the second material affixing mechanism and the hinged panel affixing mechanism resulting in a secure, protected independent double-sided material fastener which can be engaged and disengaged repeatedly and adjusted.

Claims (44)

1. A fastener connecting two materials, comprising:

a first material comprising a strap aperture; and

a second material comprising a second material affixing mechanism;

a strap extending toward the strap aperture, the strap comprising:

a top side comprising a top side affixing mechanism; and

a bottom side, opposite the top side, comprising a bottom side affixing mechanism;

a hinged material panel disposed proximate the second material affixing mechanism comprising a hinged panel affixing mechanism,

wherein the strap is configured to a fastened position comprising:

pass through the strap aperture;

reverse the strap back upon itself;

affix the bottom side affixing mechanism to the second material affixing mechanism; and

affix the top side affixing mechanism to the hinged panel affixing mechanism; and

wherein the strap is interposed between both the second material affixing mechanism and the hinged panel affixing mechanism resulting in a secure, protected independent double-sided material fastener which can be engaged and disengaged repeatedly and adjusted.

2. The fastener of claim 1 , further comprising:

a tab disposed from the hinged material panel opposite a hinge of the hinged material panel, wherein pulling the tab disengages the hinged panel affixing mechanism from the top side affixing mechanism.

3. The fastener of claim 1 , wherein the first material further comprises a tensioning element adjacent the strap aperture that is tensioned against the strap when the strap is reversed back upon itself.

4. The fastener of claim 3 , wherein the tensioning element partially surrounds the strap aperture.

5. The fastener of claim 1 , wherein the first and the second materials are part of the same item and separated by an opening.

6. The fastener of claim 1 , wherein the first and the second materials are opposite ends of the same material.

7. The fastener of claim 6 , wherein the first and the second materials are separated by an opening.

8. The fastener of claim 1 , wherein the first and the second materials are part of a bag.

9. The fastener of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the hinged panel affixing mechanism, the second material affixing mechanism, the bottom side affixing mechanism, and the top side affixing mechanism comprise a hook-and-loop material.

10. The fastener of claim 1 , wherein the second material affixing mechanism comprises a button.

11. The fastener of claim 1 , wherein the strap is connected to the second material at a point of attachment and the strap reverses back past the point of attachment.

12. A fastener connecting two materials, comprising:

a first material comprising a strap aperture;

a second material comprising:

a strap connected to a point of attachment on the second material, the strap comprising:

a top side comprising a top side affixing mechanism; and

a bottom side, opposite the top side, comprising a bottom side affixing mechanism;

a second material affixing mechanism on the second material disposed to a side of the point of attachment;

a hinged material panel disposed proximate the second material affixing mechanism comprising a hinged panel affixing mechanism; and

wherein the fastener comprises a fastened position when the strap is configured to:

pass through the strap aperture;

reverse the strap back upon itself and pass the point of attachment;

affix the bottom side affixing mechanism to the second material affixing mechanism; and

affix the top side affixing mechanism to the hinged panel affixing mechanism; and

wherein the strap is interposed between both the second material affixing mechanism and the hinged panel affixing mechanism resulting in a secure, protected independent double-sided material closure which can be engaged and disengaged repeatedly and adjusted.

13. The fastener of claim 12 , further comprising:

a tab disposed from the hinged material panel opposite a hinge of the hinged material panel, wherein pulling the tab disengages the hinged panel affixing mechanism from the top side affixing mechanism.

14. The fastener of claim 12 , wherein the first material further comprises a tensioning element adjacent the strap aperture that is tensioned against the strap when the strap is reversed back upon itself.

15. The fastener of claim 12 , wherein the first and the second materials are part of the same item and separated by an opening.

16. The fastener of claim 12 , wherein the first and the second materials are opposite ends of the same material and separated by an opening.

17. The fastener of claim 12 , wherein at least one of the hinged panel affixing mechanism, the second material affixing mechanism, the bottom side affixing mechanism, and the top side affixing mechanism comprise a hook-and-loop material.
