Abstract
A self releasing snap receives and secures an object like a rope, cable or line, and the release of the object by the fastener is in response to a force applied to the opposing fastening end through a second line. The releasing feature is adjustable in reference to the force required on the opposing end to activate the self releasing feature. The self releasing snap may be manually operated to release the object with a lesser force than is required to activate the self releasing feature.
