1. Snap fastener

   A snap fastener, also called snap button, press stud, press fastener, dome fastener, popper, snap and tich (or tich button), is a pair of interlocking discs, made out of a metal or plastic, commonly used in place of traditional buttons to fasten clothing and for similar purposes. A circular lip under one disc fits into a groove on the top of the other, holding them fast until a certain amount of force is applied. Different types of snaps can be attached to fabric or leather by riveting with a punch and die set specific to the type of rivet snaps used (striking the punch with a hammer to splay the tail), sewing, or plying with special snap pliers. Snap fasteners are a noted detail in American Western wear and are also often chosen for children's clothing, as they are relatively easy for children to use compared with traditional buttons.

1. snap fastener

   A snap fastener is a type of closure mechanism used in clothing, bags, or other items, which operates by interlocking two parts, typically a round pair of discs, through a snap or click. One disc fits into the other, making a 'snap' sound when closed, and this tight fit ensures the fastener stays in place until pressure is applied to pull it open. They are commonly made from metal or plastic.

Snap fasteners are often used in children's clothing, as they are relatively easy for children to use. Different types of snaps can be attached to fabric or leather by riveting with a punch and die set specific to the type of rivet snaps used, sewing, or plying with special snap pliers. In the famous Chinese Terracotta Army, dating from 210 BC, the horse halters of wagons, made of a gold tube and a silver tube, were joined with a form of snap fasteners. Modern snap fasteners were first patented by German inventor Heribert Bauer in 1885 as the "Federknopf-Verschluss", a novelty fastener for men's trousers. Some attribute the invention to Bertel Sanders, of Denmark. These first versions had an S-shaped spring in the "male" disc instead of a groove. When Jack Weil modified the design and put snaps on his iconic Western shirts, the term "snap" became commonplace and snap fasteners came into use in much Western wear.
