This invention relates to improvements in fasteners, and has for its principal object to produce an effective means of fastening and securely holding together the meeting ends of a babys diaper.

Another object of the invention is to produce a fastener which may be used for the i5 purpose of fastening and holding together finished material or objects such as paper, cloth, etc., either temporarily or permanently.

A still further object of the invention is to produce a metallic fastener which may be applied to a garment in an easy and effective manner and removed without damaging or destroying the garment in any way.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

Tn describing our invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of the invention.

Figure 2 is a bottom plan view.
