Abstract: An adjustable strap assembly has a strap, a slider, and an end connector for connection to a garment. An end of the strap is attached to the slider, and the strap passes through the end connector and through the slider. The end connector has a bar around which the strap passes, and defines a slot in front of the bar under an outer plate, such that the portions of the strap on either side of the bar both pass through the slot. The slot holds the two parts of the strap together and flat, making the assembly thinner.

Abstract: A fastening device includes a first female component and a second male component, each component adapted for attachment to a back panel, wing or strap of a garment or the like, the first component includes a plastic first plate having an inner side and an outer side. The second component includes a second plastic plate having an inner side and an outer side adapted to at least partially overlie the outer side of the first plate in use. The first plate is formed with a plurality of connecting recesses and the inner side of the second plate is formed with at least one connecting protrusion adapted to be releasably received and retained selectively in any one of the connecting recesses. The second plate is formed with a resilient nose inclined downwardly in the direction from its outer side towards its inner side and is deflected upwardly when the components are coupled together to bear resiliently against the outer side of the first plate.
