Abstract

A fastening system has a first fastening member and a second fastening member.
The first member has a retaining element and a substrate element. The retaining element includes a proximal edge and a distal edge and is attached to the substrate element along a line of attachment. The second fastening member has an inboard portion, an outboard portion, and an elongated opening disposed between the inboard and outboard portions. The elongated opening is configured such that at least part of the retaining element is capable of passing through the elongated opening when the retaining element is in a first orientation and when the retaining element is in a second orientation.

Claims (20)

(1) a substrate element; and (2) a retaining element attached to the substrate element along a line of attachment, the line of attachment having a line of attachment length, the retaining element comprising, (i) a retaining element length which is generally parallel to a first longitudinal axis, wherein the line of attachment is greater than about 25% of the retaining element length; and (ii) a retaining element width which is generally parallel to a lateral axis, wherein the lateral axis is generally perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis; and (b) a second fastening member including:
(1) an inboard portion; and (2) an outboard, portion, wherein the inboard portion and the outboard portion define an elongated opening in the second fastening member, wherein the elongated opening includes a second longitudinal axis, wherein the elongated opening is configured such that at least part of the retaining element is capable of passing through the elongated opening when the retaining element is in a first orientation and when the retaining element is in a second orientation, thereby fastening the first fastening member and the second fastening member, and wherein an orientation angle between the lateral axis of the retaining element and the second longitudinal axis of the elongated opening is greater than about C degrees and less than about 180 degrees when the retaining element begins to pass through the elongated opening of the second fastening member in the second orientation.
2. The fastening system of claim 1, wherein the orientation angle between the lateral axis and the second longitudinal axis is greater than about 0 degrees and less that or equal to about 90 degrees when the retaining element begins to pass through the elongated opening of the second fastening member in the second orientation.
3. The fastening system of claim 1, wherein the orientation angle between the lateral axis and the second longitudinal axis is greater than or equal to about 45 degrees to less than or equal to about 90 degrees when the retaining element begins to pass through the elongated opening of the second fastening member in the second orientation.
4. The fastening system of claim 1, wherein the retaining element is capable of moving about 4 mm along the lateral axis, along the first longitudinal axis, and along a transverse axis of the retaining element in a direction away from the second fastening member, when the first fastening member and the second fastening member are in a fastened state without unfastening the first fastening member from the second fastening member.
5. The fastening system of claim 1, wherein the orientation angle between the lateral axis and the second longitudinal axis is greater than or equal to about degrees and less than or equal to about 170 degrees when the retaining element begins to pass through the elongated opening of the second fastening member in the second orientation.
6. The fastening system of claim 1, wherein the orientation angle between lateral axis and the second longitudinal axis is greater than or equal to about 90 degrees and less than or equal to about 135 degrees when the retaining element begins to pass through the elongated opening of the second fastening member in the second orientation.
7. A fastening system comprising:
(a) a first fastening member including:

(1) a substrate element; and (2) a retaining element attached to the substrate element along a line of attachment, the retaining element having a retaining element length: and (b) a second fastening member including:
(1) an inboard portion; and (2) an outboard portion, wherein the inboard portion and the outboard portion define an elongated opening in the second fastening member, wherein the elongated opening includes a longitudinal axis, wherein the elongated opening has an elongated opening length, wherein the retaining element length is greater than about 25% of the elongated opening length, wherein the elongated opening includes a longitudinal region and an intersecting region. wherein the longitudinal region includes a longitudinal region width and the intersecting region includes an intersection region width, wherein the intersection region width is greater than the longitudinal width, and wherein at least part of the retaining element is capable of passing through the elongated opening and engaging the outboard portion of the second fastening member, thereby fastening the first fastening member and the second fastening member.
8. The fastening system of claim 7, wherein the retaining element length is greater than or equal to about 50% of the elongated opening length.
9. The fastening, system of claim 7, wherein the retaining element comprises a tab element, and the second fastening member comprises a slot member, and wherein the elongated opening comprises a slot.
