Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a fastening device that is capable of creating a waterproof seal between fabrics and other materials. The fastening device includes two interlocking strips that have a tongue and groove mating relationship. A Z-shaped slider is used to position the interlocking strips such that the tongue portion is mated within the groove portion. The slider is also capable of disassociating the tongue from the groove to separate the fastening device. Stop blocks are provided at the ends of the interlocking strips and can create a fully waterproof seal when the fastening device is closed.
