(Z is one side of the body portion and extends froin the curved part c in a downwardly inwardly direction to a point (2. Extending from the point e in an upwardly outwardly direction is another sided of the body. The 5 side (1' terminates in the curved part c, said curved part 0' extending to a point I).

a is another resilient arm similar to the arm a. The two sides or parts (Z and (Z' are crossed by the arms a and a, respectively, as 40 shown in the drawing, and the arms impinge upon the said sides at their respective points of intersection.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- 5 The design for a fastening device, substantially as herein shown and described.
