Abstract
Abstract A U-shaped garment fastener adapted to be readily self-loaded into a clenching press. The components of a complete fastener are secured to a backing material so that two chains of them can be placed in a magazine and fed into the press. Both halves of the fastener are similar to eliminate duplicate parts.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
317 words
A magazine of garment fasteners, each fastener comprising a U-sectioned staple element one end of the base of which extends longitudinally perpendicular to the U-section forming a tongue, and each of the free limbs of the U-section comprising a shoulder portion and prong portion, the prong portion extending beyond and being narrower than the shoulder portion, said prongs adapted to be bent toward one another to engage a complementary base member, and said tongue being slightly narrower than the distance between the shoulder portions of the U-section; and a base member comprising a flat plate of about the same width as said staple, said base member having notches in the longitudinal edges thereof, closer to one end hereof, for receiving the prongs of said staple member, the distance between the inner edges of said notches being about equal to the distance between the prongs in the staple member, said base and said staple member being adapted to engage one another for forming an open tunnel between said base member and the Usection of said staple, and the tongue of one fastener and the tunnel of another are adapted to mutually engage one another when the tongue of each of a pair of fasteners is inserted in the tunnel of the other one of the pair of fasteners, said magazine comprising, a plurality of said staple members longitudinally aligned with the tongues of said staple members aligned in the same direction, each tongue facing the opposite end of the adjacent staple, and said staples connected by a first backing to form a first chain, and a plurality of said plates aligned with the end of said plates closer to the notches therein all facing the same direction so that the end of a plate closer to its notches faces the opposite end of the adjacent plate, said plates connected by a second backing to form a second chain.
