Abstract

The fastener comprises a male fastener component (1) and a female fastener component (2). The male fastener component (1) comprises a metal ball (10) which is welded to a disc (11). The female fastener component (2) is made of moulded plastics and has a disc (21) with a socket (26). The ball (10) is a releasable snap fit in the socket (26). Glue ( 61, 62, 63) is used to fix the male and female fastener components between a panel (4) and a fixed structure (5) such as a wall. By releasing the snap fit, the panel (4) may be removed. The panel may subsequently be snap fitted back into its exact previous position.
