The object of this invention is to construct a fastener for various articles and
receptacles by forming two cup or other shaped projections in or from ears or lugs
made in a piece with or attached to a base plato. The two cup or other shaped
projection when bent up towards each other nearly meet leaving sufficient springy
action in them that when an eyelet is passed over them they yield and permit it to
pass and lodge itself under the bulged portion or portions with sufficient grip to be
held securely.
