Abstract: A single or multi-section fastener capable of quick release is elongated so that one end will overlie the other end of the fastener in latched position, the overlying member or end is provided with a sized aperture therethrough and the underlying member or end includes, a tongue holder generally wider than the aperture which is connected by a flexible hinge to said underlying end to permit the tongue holder to fold so that it lies between the respective underlying and overlying end when the fastener is moved to the engaged or latched position. Movement of the fastener from the engaged or latched position to the disengaged or unlatched position to the disengaged or unlatched position is accomplished by a quick release assembly formed on the underlying end. A reinforced handle may be connected to the quick release assembly to facilitate release or disengagement of the cooperating ends of the fastener from the engaged or latched position.
