Abstract

An instant no-sew and removable fabric fastener is similar to a spring push-pin fabric fastener, and thus, the instant no-sew and removable fabric fastener includes a fastener socket and a fastener stud. However, the instant no-sew and removable fabric fastener is different than a standard spring push-pin fabric fastener by incorporating a rotational-type attachment mechanism and by being completely removable. The rotational-type attachment mechanism allows the fastener stud and the fastener socket to be deadlocked to each other. The fastener stud cannot be detached from the fastener socket even with a force until either the fastener socket or the fastener stud is rotated 90 degrees. After the fastener socket or the fastener is rotated 90 degrees, the fastener stud can be detached from the fastener socket. Additionally, this means the instant no-sew and removable fabric fastener does not permanently attach to fabric and thus, can be removed when desired.
