  • the shoulders 60 and 64 may be provided with generally longitudinally extending grooves 102 and 104, respectively, and the cross bar 26 may be provided with cooperating tenons or ribs 106 and 108, respectively, engageable within the grooves 102 and 104 so as to restrain the bar member 26 against twisting or rotation within the female or housing member 54.
  • such grooves may be provided only in the walls 60 and 64, or, if desired, similar grooves may be provided in the shoulders 62 and 64.
  • the cross bar 26 may have such tenons or ribs extending in only one direction therefrom or the cross bar 26 may be symmetric and of generally I-shaped cross-sectional configuration having such ribs extending in both directions.
  • the female or housing member 54 has been shown, illustrated and described as having two opposed fenestrations 80 and 82, enabling the male member 22 to be inserted therein in either of two positions, one side of the female or housing member 54 may be made solid and the respective fenestration eliminated.
  • the housing or female member 24 and the male member 22 may be coupled either in the position shown or rotated 180 relative one another so that the orientation therebetween at the time of coupling is not critical so as to preclude insertion of the tongue member 22 into the housing or female member 24 in a non-latching relationship.
  • FIGS. 6-11, inclusive there is shown and illustrated another embodiment or modification of separable fasteners constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
  • FIGS. 6-11 like reference characters will be utilized for the respective parts thereof, with the exception that the reference characters are primed, it being expressly understood that the embodimentor modification shown therein is substantially the same as the embodiment or modification of FIGS. l-5 and the parts thereof are the same except where specif ically set forth as being different.
  • the male member 22' is provided with a tongue portion 32' which on its inclined surface is provided with a generally oblong rounded and dimpled depression 94' as an aid in preventing slippage of an operator in depressing the tongue portion 32'.
  • the relieved portion 96' on the rear of the tongue member 32' is of generally curvilinear configuration but is further provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 97 to provide the desired degree of rigidity and strength thereto.
  • the female or housing member 24 is provided with a pair of relief grooves and 112 extending generally longitudinally thereof extending towards the inner surface of the shoulders 60, 62, 64 and 66 so as to provide narrow shoulders 114, 116, 118 and 120 for engaging the tongue portion 28 or 28' generally only along the edges thereof to thereby reduce the friction between the male member 22 and the female or housing member 24 and, further, to reduce binding or improper operation due to warpage, dimensional changes, or the presence of dead or any foreign matter therebetween.
  • the housing member 24 has the shoulders 60 and 64 extended so as to form a back panel 63 completely subjacent the fenestration 82 so as to provide a smooth and uninterrupted surface permitting the male member 22 to be inserted therein in only one orientation.
  • the end wall 58' is provided with an elongated slot 59 through which the strap 92 may extend so as to extend outwardly of the housing or female portion 24 generally intermediate thereof and to provide a generally straight line pull thereagainst, as shown more fully particularly in FIGS. 10 and 11.
  • this construction has the additional difference relative the construction of the housing member 24 in that the adjustment of the strap member 92 on the female housing member 24 may be readily and easily accomplished although the adjustment, once made, is not as secure in the absence of tension on the strap 92 while in the housing structure 24', the adjustment is less easily made but the adjustment, once made, is more positive even in the absence of tension on the strap 92.
