Abstract

A webbing fastener (10) has a hook element (12) formed from a woven webbing strap (14) having a proximal end (16) and a distal end (18) that has a hook-like pad (20) formed thereon, and, an aperture element (22) that may be formed by a `square ring` (24) attached by a loop (26) to a second strip of webbing (28). The pad (20) can be formed by coiling the distal end (18) of webbing strap (14) into a flat tight coil and sewing it transversely to form a pair of transverse seams (30) that divide the pad (20) into a proximal end portion (a) and a distal end portion (b). The proximal end portion (a) forms a barb-like hook that can be move away from the distal portion of the webbing strap (14) to engage the proximal periphery of the ring (24) and to retain the hook element (12) within the aperture element (22).
