Definitions

  • This invention relates to a button assembly for attachment to a garment fabric.
  • buttons are known which are capable of being secured to the fabric without the aid of stitching.
  • the basic form of such buttons comprises a female part or button body and a male part or tack member, both parts being coupled together with the male part penetrating through the fabric into the female part.
  • the tack is bent around within the female part.
  • an intermediate member or insert in the female part which is disposed for impinging contact with the tack to allow the latter to bend or deflect thereby securing the button assembly firmly in place on the fabric.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide an improved button assembly which can be secured firmly in place on a garment fabric and which is free from unpleasant metallic noise which would otherwise result from impinging contact of loosely connected parts of the button.
  • a button assembly for attachment to a garment, comprising: a button body having a hollow cylindrical hub; a dome-like insert disposed in said hollow cylindrical hub; a tack having a base and a pair of prongs extending substantially perpendicularly from said base for piercing through the garment fabric and then being inserted into the interior of the dome-like insert to thereby join said tack with said button body; and a cap mounted on said button body at an obverse side thereof, characterized in that said button body has a plurality of retainers projecting radially inwardly from said hollow cylindrical hub for firmly retaining said insert within said hub, and that said dome-like insert has a central guide projection extending inwardly of said insert for deflecting said prongs in opposite directions to bend along an inner wall of said insert.
  • a button assembly 10 comprises a button body 11, a cap 12, an insert 13 and a tack 14, all the components 11 - 14 being made of metal.
  • the button body 11 is a hat-like structure having a hollow cylindrical hub lla and a horizontally directed peripheral flange llb integral therewith.
  • a plurality of guide recesses 11c defining the path of registry with prongs or nails of the tack 14 and a corresponsing number of stepped-in recesses lld communicating with the respective guide recesses 11c for receiving the tack prongs therethrough into the interior of the button body 11.
  • retainers lie integral with and projecting radially inwardly from the hub lla for purposes to be hereafter described.
  • the retainers lle may be of different configurations, round, square or linear as the case may be, and the number of these retainers may vary with the size of the button and the extent of securing strength desired.
  • the insert 13 is a dome-like structure having a domed head 13a and a substantially vertical annular body 13b.
  • the domed head 13a is centrally recessed and thereby has a central circular guide projection 13c extending inwardly from the apex of the dome for purposes to be hereafter described.
  • the tack 14 has a covered base 14a to be pressed normally by a punch and a plurality of prongs or nails 14b, two in number being presently illustrated, which extend vertically from the base 14a for engaging the tack 14 with the button body 11.
  • the cap 12 is a generally circular plate 12a having a vertically directed peripheral flange 12b and a central aperture 12c.
  • the insert 13 When assembling the above parts of the button assembly 10, the insert 13 is first forcibly fitted into the hub lla of the button body 11.
  • the annular body 13b of the insert 13 has an outside diameter slightly larger than the inside diameter of a circle commonly defined by the retainers lie of the hub lla whereby the insert 13 is forcibly fitted in place within the hub lla as its annular body 13b undergoes elastic deformation on pressure contact with the retainers lie of the hub lla as illustrated in Figure 2.
  • the cap 12 is then placed over the button body 11 and clamped thereto by folding the vertical peripheral flange 12b around and over the horizontal flange llb of the hub lla, as shown in Figure 2.
  • the tack 14 is now joined with the button body 11 by forcing the prongs 14b through a garment fabric F into the guide recesses llc and further into the stepped-in recesses lld.
  • the prongs 14b pierce through the material in the button of the recesses lid and come into impinging contact with the inner wall of the domed head 13a, whereupon the prongs 14b are deflected in opposite directions and bent along the inner contour of the insert 13 without interference with each other.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a modified form of tack 14 in which the prongs 14b extend out of alignment with their respective tip ends separated with respect to the axis of the tack 14.
  • This prong structure serves to facilitate the proper orientation of the prongs in opposite directions across the guide projection 13c of the insert 13.
  • Figure 5 illustrates a modification of the cap 12 which is made of a plastic material extending over and masking the entire area of an obverse side of the button body ll, the cap 12 being conveniently decorated for aesthetic reasons or for proper registration of the button with respect to the fabric F.
  • dome-like insert 13 obviates such aesthetic consideration, as the insert 13 itself presents an attractive appearance through the aperture 12c in the center of the cap 12 shown in Figures 1 and 2.
