Abstract: The invention relates to a clasp having coverable clasp parts, comprising a clasp upper part (1) of dish-shaped cross section and, pressable into the latter, a clasp lower part (2) of dish-shaped cross section, the upper and lower surfaces facing one another and the internal space of the clasp serving to receive the ends (9) of the covering material (3) surrounding the clasp upper part (1). The lower surface and the upper surface of the clasp do not run parallel to one another. The plane (5) of the lower surface of the clasp lower part (2) runs parallel, however, to the plane (7) of the edges of the open underside (7) of the clasp upper part (1), and the open plane of the upper side (6) of the clasp lower part (2) runs parallel to the upper side (4) of the clasp upper part (1) forming the upper surface. Furthermore, the invention also relates to an apparatus for producing the fabric-covered clasp.
