Abstract

See full text

Embodiments are directed to textile fasteners. In one embodiment, the textile fastener may include a spherical member and a receiving member. The receiving member may include a flange portion and an opening within the flange portion where the opening is configured to receive the spherical member. In an embodiment, the insertion of the spherical member at least partially into the opening applies a friction force between the textile and the receiving member thereby attaching the textile fastener to the textile. In particular, magnetic interaction between the spherical member and the receiving member may maintain the friction force between the textile and the receiving member. The textile fastener also includes a cover member that substantially conceals the spherical member and the receiving member from view. The cover member may be an ornamental or functional structure, including a wearable electronic device.
