Abstract
A fastener has a head component with a channel in which are engaged bosses of a member to be secured, which bosses cooperatively form a passage for receiving the fastener. A tail component of the fastener is used for threading it through the apertures, and may thereafter be broken away to leave an inobtrusive body component, which may be released by rotating it about its axis.
