Button for clothing

For clothing, buttons in a variety of shapes and colors as well as from different

materials. These include buttons that are only used to fasten items of clothing as well as decorative buttons.

The object of the invention is to create a new button*

which has a high attention value and an additional 15

function.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that it carries or forms a snow globe.

Such a button is a great ornament and also a toy for children and adults. This button looks particularly unusual when it is attached several times in a row, as is usual with clothing. In addition, such a button is inexpensive in terms of materials and easy to mass-produce. Although it is filled with a liquid, its weight is small due to its small dimensions.

Preferably, it is proposed that the button has a cavity into which a figure or an object protrudes and which is filled with a liquid in which

* &Lgr; · fl » t &igr;

there are a large number of tiny particles* The front of the cavity wall can be curved and transparent. The rear wall of the cavity should also have or form a bracket or eyelet on the outside for easy fastening.

A good and close investment is achieved when the

The back wall of the cavity is flat. A visually appealing to

This effect is achieved when the rear wall of the cavity is made of non-transparent material. It is also suggested that the floor is flat and made of the same material as the rear wall. A particularly advantageous shape is achieved when there is a

Hemisphere or a section of a sphere is curved.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail below. It -

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the button in

significantly enlarged scale from behind and above,

Figure 2 is a perspective view according to Figure 1 with the rear wall partially cut out.

In the embodiment, the button has a horizontal, semicircular base 1 on which the

·*-* diameter a vertical semicircular or arched back wall 2 is connected, in particular molded, which consists of the same opaque plastic material as the base 1. A bracket 7 is molded onto the outer back of the back wall 2, which forms an opening, in particular an eyelet, through which the button can be attached to a piece of clothing by sewing*

¹ '

A front wall 3 made of transparent material arches over the base 1 and the rear wall 2 on the front side , with all parts being so tightly connected to one another that liquid cannot escape. In the cavity 4 thus formed there is a particularly clear liquid in which there are tiny particles 5 which do not dissolve in the liquid and whose specific weight is higher than that of the liquid, so that after shaking the button in the liquid they sink downwards to the base 1.

A figure 6 or object, particularly from the area of living creatures or nature, is attached to the floor 1 and/or the back wall 2 in the smallest scale. In the example, the figure is a person in an upright position.

A closable opening can be provided for filling the cavity and the liquid, in particular in the form of water, preferably contains an agent, in particular a chemical, which prevents a change in the liquid, in particular clouding or the formation of algae.

Alternatively, the base 1 can be missing and the back wall 2 can be round or oval and a corresponding front wall can arch over this back wall. In all embodiments, the external dimensions of the snow globe-shaped button correspond to those of a large, medium or small button on an item of clothing.

A snow globe is also understood to be a closed cavity filled with liquid, in whose liquid there are no white particles, but rather colored, in particular multicolored particles 5.
