A fastener for a band or the like, particularly a waistband on garments, comprising a rail provided with detents, the rail being fastened to one end of the band. A slide travels on the rail, the slide being fastened to the other end of the band. An angle-shaped flip lever has a shorter angle leg which, in a flipped position of the flip lever, engages into the detent depressions of the rail, the flip lever being carried by the slide. The flip lever has a window for the free passage of a cover strip lying on the outside in front of the rail, the flip lever including a longer angle leg which extends outward of the fastener in operating position leg. A snap-detent connection secures a covering to the longer leg, the snap-detent connection being formed by providing the convering with an opening into which a tongue of the longer leg extends. The opening is developed as an insertion pocket, open towards the window, for the tongue, the wide surface of which enters into a detent connection with the pocket wall.

Fastener for bands or the like

The fastener for waistbands on trousers or skirts has a detent rail fastened to one part of the waistband and a slide displaceable on the rail. The slide carries a pivotal lever which extends beyond its pivot axis into a detent projection. The slide or the lever is detachably connectable to the other part of the waistband. The other waistband part is provided on its inside with a hook which is engageable with an opening in either the slide or the lever. The opening is coordinated with a slide surface that facilitates this engagement even without looking. In this respect the slide surface is the outside surface of the lever, and it is located ahead of, with respect to the engagement direction, and lower than the opening.
