Abstract (en)

A snap fastener, of a laterally engageable type, for garments in general, comprises a male part including a contoured projection and to be clamped to a first flap of the garment article, and a female part, including a female part hollow body having an inner cavity and clamped to a second flap of the garment article, the hollow body including, at a top part thereof, a seat for laterally engaging therein the contoured projection, the seat comprising an elongated slot including an open end portion, formed on the peripheral surface of the hollow body. With respect to a prior like snap fastener, the inventive snap fastener has the advantage that it allows the garment article to be buttoned up by a simple lateral engaging of the male portion into the female portion, without requiring additional axial movements. A further advantage is that the inventive snap fastener allows to button-up the garment article by a single movement of the parts constituting the snap fastener, without requiring any application of an axial effort.
