Abstract: Known adjustable press-stud fastenings (10) consist of at least two complementary press-stud parts, namely a male and female part (11, 12), which can be snapped together for producing a connection. At least one press-stud part (11) is attached to a support layer (19) using a connecting piece (21). The other press-stud part (12) can likewise be connected to a support layer (20) using a connecting piece (21), or can be connected directly thereto (20). The adjustable press-stud fastening (10) allows the support layers (19, 20) to be superimposed, by the connection of the male part (11) to the female part (12). Said superimposition can be modified by the adjustable press-stud fastening (10). The connecting piece (21) must be capable of adapting to its support layer (19) in order for the press-stud fastening (10) to be additionally used for articles of clothing, such as jackets, trousers etc. In addition, the invention aims to provide a simple and secure adjustment of the press-stud fastening (10).

Abstract: The object of a snap fastener closure is to couple a male part with a female part (20) as easily as possible, but so that it is difficult to uncouple them. The female part (20) comprises a push plate (30) which is movable longitudinally in a housing (23) and forks into two plate legs in the interior of the housing. The two plate legs are formed of two portions (31, 32) which are profiled differently with respect to the closing head (12) of the male part, one of these portions (31) serving to lock and the other portion (32) serving to release the closing head (12). In order to achieve easy coupling, it is proposed that the portion (31) acting to lock is provided at the free ends of the two plate legs so that they can spread apart elastically. Then, by inserting the closing head (12) of the male part, an automatic coupling in is made possible between the two plate legs. This portion (31) thus becomes the coupling portion.
