Abstract

The button has a button web, which is to be attached to the clothing, and a portion which is integral with said button web via a flexible bridge of material and belongs to a button plate. For good stability in use with ease of buttoning and unbuttoning, it is proposed that the bridge (B) of material, bearing the portion (A) and absorbing the buttoning forces, surrounds the button web (2) concentrically and that the portion (A) is constructed as a circumferential bead (11) at the button edge. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Knopf, insbesondere für Klei­dungsstücke, mit einem am Kleidungsstück zu befestigenden Knopfsteg und einem zu diesem einstückigen, über eine flexi­ble Materialbrücke zu einer Knopfplatte gehörenden Abschnitt.The invention relates to a button, in particular for items of clothing, with a button web to be attached to the item of clothing and a section which is integral with it and belongs to a button plate via a flexible material bridge.

Ein Knopf dieser Art ist durch die DE-OS 34 05 830 bekannt. Dessen Knopfplatte ist relativ zum Steg kippbar. Auch läßt die gattungsgemäße Ausgestaltung eine gewisse Axialverlage­rung zu. Die flexible Materialbrücke stellt den Knopf stets wieder in seine Grundstellung zurück; sie fungiert insoweit als Rückholfeder. Eine metallene Umkleidung des Knopfkör­pers, die im Stegbereich unterbrochen ist, definiert diese, in Axialrichtung nicht überschreitbare Grundstellung.A button of this type is known from DE-OS 34 05 830. Its button plate can be tilted relative to the web. The generic design also allows a certain axial displacement. The flexible material bridge always returns the button to its basic position; In this respect it acts as a return spring. A metal covering of the button body, which is interrupted in the web area, defines this basic position, which cannot be exceeded in the axial direction.

Ein solcher Knopf ist relativ teileaufwendig. Vor allem die achsnahe Lage der Materialbrücke erleichtert ein Abwürgen der Knopfplatte, wenn daran gedreht wird, eine Variante des immerwieder zu beobachtenden Spieltriebes.Such a button is relatively expensive. Above all, the position of the material bridge close to the axis makes it easier to choke off the button plate when it is turned, a variant of the play instinct that can be observed again and again.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen gattungsgemäßen Knopf zu schaffen, der bei wenigen Bauteilen eine hohe Gebrauchsstabi­lität aufweist bei trotzdem günstigerer Knöpfbarkeit.The object of the invention is to provide a generic button which, with a few components, has a high degree of use stability and is nevertheless more economical to button.

Gelöst ist diese Aufgabe durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebene Erfindung.This object is achieved by the invention specified in claim 1.

Die Unteransprüche sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Knopfes.The subclaims are advantageous developments of the button according to the invention.

Zufolge solcher Ausgestaltung ist ein gattungsgemäßer Knopf von erhöhtem Gebrauchswert erzielt:As a result of such an embodiment, a generic button of increased utility value is achieved:

Er zeichnet sich vor allem durch eine verbesserte Knöpfbar­keit aus, die wesentlich auf die erreichte axiale Längung des Knopfsteges zurückzuführen ist. Eine solche Knopfplatten­anbindung übertrifft an Geschmeidigkeit somit sogar den klassischen Annähstiel. Gerade für Kinderkleidung und solche älterer Menschen erweist sich die gefundene Lösung sogar als erheblicher Vorteil. Konkret ist dazu so vorgegangen, daß die den Abschnitt tragende, die Knöpfkräfte aufnehmende Mate­rialbrücke konzentrisch den Knopfsteg umgibt und daß der Abschnitt als umlaufender Knopfrandwulst ausgebildet ist. Die so weit achsentfernt liegende Anbindung des die Knopf­platte bildenden Abschnitts erschwert das erwähnte Abwürgen. Außerdem ergibt sich durch den umlaufenden Knopfrandwulst in bezug auf den die eigentliche Knopfplatte bildenden Ab­schnitt eine hochgradige Formtreue, die es u. U. sogar ver­zichtbar macht, noch eine besondere Applikation zuzuordnen, es sei denn, dies ist aus modischen Gründen gewünscht. Diesbezüglich bietet die gefundene Lösung zufolge der ver­steifend wirkenden Wulstzone ebenfalls optimale Voraussetzun­gen. In vorteilhafter Weise setzt die Materialbrücke am Mantelbereich des Knopfsteges an, also radial orientiert. Dabei erweist es sich als günstig, daß die Materialbrücke speichenförmig ausgebildet ist. Das erhöht nicht nur die Flexibilität, sondern wirkt sich auch materialsparend aus. Hierbei ist sodann von Vorteil, daß die Speichen in Axial­richtung des Knopfsteges auf die Knopfplatte zulaufend von diesem ausgehen und in einen radial gerichteten Bogen überge­hen, um schließlich in die Innenseite des Knopfrandwulstes einzulaufen. Ein solcher Bogen bildet einen erheblichen Längungs- bzw. Bewegungsvorrat für die Kippbewegung der Knopfplatte bzw. für die überlagernd oder unabhängig davon durchführbare axiale Verlagerung. Dabei kann eine Bogenform dahingehend gewählt sein, daß sich eine Art Überschnappef­fekt bildet, der eine erste, trägerstoffnahe Lage der Knopf­platte definiert und eine weiter abstehende, so daß man nach dem Knöpfen einfach durch axial gerichtete Kraft den Knopf in eine größere Nähe zum Trägerstoff bringt. Weiter erweist es sich als vorteilhaft, daß vom Wurzelbereich der Material­brücke ein zentraler Dom des Knopfsteges ausgeht. Dieser Dom bringt Materialersparnis und läßt das Eindringen von bei­spielweise Regenwasser in den Befestigungsbereich nicht zu. Vorteilhaft ist es darüber hinaus, daß sich eine axial ge­richtete, zentrale Befestigungshöhlung für einen Befesti­gungsdorn bis in den Dom erstreckt. Das schafft auf ganzer Länge eine zusammenhängende, materialsparende Ausräumung des Knopfsteges mit entsprechend hoher Elastizität der verblei­benden Ringwandung. Eine vorteilhafte Variante der Brücken­ausbildung besteht darin, daß die Materialbrücke als radial gerichteter Faltenbalg ausgebildet ist. Dabei handelt es sich zweckmäßig um einen konzentrisch reichgewellten Wan­dungsabschnitt, der aus raumsparenden Gründen zweckmäßig in einer Querebene zur Achse des Knopfsteges verläuft. Schließ­lich ist es günstig, daß Knopfsteg, Materialbrücke und Knopf­randwulst aus Kunststoff bestehen. Diesbezüglich wird auf rückstellfähiges, also die erforderliche Flexibilität aufwei­sendes Material zurückgegriffen.It is particularly characterized by an improved buttonability, which is essentially due to the axial elongation of the button web. Such a button plate connection even surpasses the classic sewing style in terms of suppleness. The solution found even proves to be a considerable advantage, especially for children's clothing and those of older people. Specifically, the procedure is such that the material bridge carrying the section and absorbing the button forces concentrically surrounds the button web and that the section is designed as a circumferential button edge bead. The connection of the section forming the button plate so far away from the axis makes the mentioned stalling difficult. In addition, the circumferential button edge bead results in a high degree of shape accuracy with respect to the section forming the actual button plate, which it u. It may even be unnecessary to assign a special application, unless this is desired for fashion reasons. In this regard, the solution found also offers optimal conditions due to the stiffening bead zone. The material bridge advantageously attaches to the jacket region of the button web, that is to say it is oriented radially. It proves to be favorable that the material bridge is designed in the form of a spoke. This not only increases flexibility, but also saves material. It is then advantageous that the spokes extend in the axial direction of the button web toward the button plate and merge into a radially directed arc in order to finally run into the inside of the button edge bead. Such a bow forms a considerable amount of elongation or movement for the tilting movement of the button plate or for the overlaying or independently thereof feasible axial displacement. An arc shape can be chosen in such a way that a kind of snap-over effect is formed, which defines a first position of the button plate close to the carrier material and a further protruding position, so that after the buttoning, the button is brought closer to the carrier material simply by axially directed force. It also proves to be advantageous that a central dome of the button web extends from the root area of the material bridge. This dome saves material and does not allow rainwater, for example, to penetrate the fastening area. It is also advantageous that an axially directed, central fastening cavity for a fastening mandrel extends into the dome. This creates a coherent, material-saving clearing of the button web along the entire length with a correspondingly high elasticity of the remaining ring wall. An advantageous variant of the bridge formation is that the material bridge is designed as a radially directed bellows. This is expediently a concentrically richly corrugated wall section which, for space-saving reasons, expediently runs in a transverse plane to the axis of the button web. Finally, it is favorable that the button web, material bridge and button edge bead are made of plastic. In this regard, resilient material, that is to say the flexibility required, is used.

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung ist nachstehend anhand eines zeichnerisch veranschaulichten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert. Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 einen Vertikalschnitt durch den erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Knopf,
  • Fig. 2 denselben in Draufsicht,
  • Fig. 3 einen Vertikalschnitt durch eine Variante des erfindungsgemäßen Knopfes, fertig montiert, also mit in den Knopfsteg eingetriebenem Gegenhalteteil.
The subject matter of the invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an illustrative embodiment. It shows:
  • 1 is a vertical section through the button designed according to the invention,
  • 2 the same in plan view,
  • Fig. 3 shows a vertical section through a variant of the button according to the invention, fully assembled, that is, with the counterpart driven into the button web.

Der insbesondere für Kleidungsstücke verwenbare Knopf 1 besitzt einen im wesentlichen zylindrischen Knopfsteg 2, ver­gleichbar dem klassischen, durch Fadenschlaufen erzielbaren Knopfstiel.The button 1, which can be used in particular for items of clothing, has an essentially cylindrical button web 2, comparable to the classic button handle which can be achieved by thread loops.

Befestigt ist der Knopf 1 an einem Träger 3. Hier handelt es sich beispielsweise um die sogenannte Knopfleiste eines Kleidungsstückes, welche Leiste von einer die passenden Knopflöcher aufweisenden Deckleiste überfangen ist.The button 1 is fastened to a carrier 3. This is, for example, the so-called button bar of a garment, which bar is overlaid by a cover bar with the matching button holes.

Als Knopfbefestigungsmittel dient ein von der Rückseite des Trägers 3 her eingetriebener Haltedorn 4. Letzterer ist zuge­spitzt, so daß ein beispielsweise gewebeschonender Durch­tritt vorliegt. Sein Spitzenbereich 5 formt eine kegelförmi­ge Verdickung, welche praktisch eine irreversible Veranke­rung bringt. Der Knopfsteg 2 weist zum Eintritt des Haltedor­nes 4 eine zylindrische Befestigungshöhlung 6 auf. Die Befe­stigungshöhlung 6 erstreckt sich im Zentrum des Knopfsteges 2, also in der Längsmittelachse x-x des Knopfes 1.A holding pin 4 driven in from the back of the carrier 3 serves as the button fastening means. The latter is tapered, so that, for example, a tissue-protecting passage is present. Its tip area 5 forms a conical thickening, which practically brings an irreversible anchoring. The button web 2 has a cylindrical fastening cavity 6 for the entry of the holding mandrel 4. The fastening cavity 6 extends in the center of the button web 2, that is to say in the longitudinal central axis x-x of the button 1.

Der dem Spitzenbereich 5 abgewandte Abschnitt des Haltedor­nes 4 geht über einen Kegelstumpfabschnitt 7 in eine Gegen­halteplatte 8 über. Letztere weist Kalottenform auf und besitzt einen Durchmesser, der größer ist als der des Knopf­steges 2.The section of the holding mandrel 4 facing away from the tip area 5 merges into a counter-holding plate 8 via a truncated cone section 7. The latter has a spherical shape and has a diameter which is larger than that of the button web 2.

Der Eingang der Befestigungshöhlung 6 ist, entsprechend der Gestalt des Kegelstumpfabschnittes 7 getrichtert.The entrance of the fastening cavity 6 is funneled in accordance with the shape of the truncated cone section 7.

Zur Drehsicherung des Knopfes 1 sind dem der Gegenhalteplat­te 8 zugewandten Stirnende 2′ des Knopfsteges 2 Radialrippen 9 angeformt. Letztere weisen Schneidenform auf, sind also im Querschnitt dreieckig, wobei eine Dreiecksseite im ebenen, ringförmigen Stirnende 2′ wurzelt. Wie Fig. 3 entnehmbar, greifen die Radialrippen 9 im Verbindungsbereich zur Gegen­halteplatte 8 in den dort komprimierten Abschnitt des Trä­gers 3 ein.To secure the knob 1 against rotation, the end plate 2 'of the button web 2 facing the counter plate 8 2 radial ribs 9 are formed. The latter have a cutting edge shape, that is to say they are triangular in cross section, with one triangular side in the flat, annular end 2 'roots. As can be seen in FIG. 3, the radial ribs 9 engage in the section of the carrier 3 compressed there in the connection area to the counter plate 8.

Insgesamt sind vier winkelgleich beabstandete Axialrippen 9 realisiert. Der periphere Bereich des Stirnendes springt gegenüber dem Mantelbereich M des zylindrischen Knopfsteges 2 zurück, so daß die Radialrippen 9 der Sicht entzogen sind.A total of four axial ribs 9 spaced at the same angle are realized. The peripheral area of the front end jumps back relative to the jacket area M of the cylindrical button web 2, so that the radial ribs 9 are hidden from view.

Der Knopfsteg 2 setzt sich an der dem Träger 3 abgewandten Seite in eine Knopfplatte 10 fort. Letztere erstreckt sich in Grundstellung raumparallel zur Gegenhalteplatte 8, und zwar in einem stegentsprechenden Grundabstand y zum Träger 3.The button web 2 continues into a button plate 10 on the side facing away from the carrier 3. In the basic position, the latter extends parallel to the counter-holding plate 8, namely at a base distance y corresponding to the web 3.

Die Verbindung zur Knopfplatte 10 erfolgt über eine flexible Materialbrücke B, die an einem zur Knopfplatte 10 gehörenden Abschnitt A angreift.The connection to the button plate 10 takes place via a flexible material bridge B which engages in a section A belonging to the button plate 10.

Die diesen Abschnitt A tragende, die Knöpfkräfte aufnehmende Materialbrücke B umgibt konzentrisch den Knopfsteg 2. Der Abschnitt A ist als umlaufender Knopfrandwulst 11 gestaltet. Knopfsteg 2, Materialbrücke B und Knopfrandwulst 11 sind einstückig aus Kunststoff gefertigt, d. h. gespritzt. Die knopfstegseitige Anbindung der flexiblen Materialbrücke B liegt im Mantelbereich M des Knopfsteges 2, und zwar sowohl bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 1 als auch bei der Varian­te gemäß Fig. 3 im oberen, trägerabgewandten Viertel oder Drittel des Knopfsteges. Es handelt sich jeweils um eine filmscharnierartige Anbindung.The material bridge B bearing this section A and absorbing the button forces concentrically surrounds the button web 2. Section A is designed as a peripheral button edge bead 11. Button bridge 2, material bridge B and button edge bead 11 are made in one piece from plastic, d. H. sprayed. The connection of the flexible material bridge B on the button web side lies in the jacket area M of the button web 2, both in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 and in the variant according to FIG. 3 in the upper quarter or third of the button web facing away from the carrier. Each is a hinge-like connection.

Die flexible Materialbrücke B gemäß Fig. 1 ist speichenför­mig gestaltet. Die Speichen tragen das Bezugszeichen 12. Es handelt sich, wie bei einem Radkörper, um eine winkelgleiche Verteilung solcher Speichen 12. Insgesamt sind sechs Spei­chen 12 berücksichtigt. Deren Breite z entspricht etwa der fünffachen Dicke D derselben. Insoweit kann bezüglich der Speichen praktisch von bandförmigen Materialabschnitten gesprochen werden.The flexible material bridge B according to FIG. 1 is designed in the form of a spoke. The spokes have the reference number 12. Like a wheel body, the spokes 12 are distributed at the same angle. A total of six spokes 12 are taken into account. Their width z corresponds to approximately five times the thickness D of the same. As far as the Spokes are practically spoken of band-shaped sections of material.

Die Speichen 12 laufen vom mantelbereichsseitigen Ausgangs­punkt a ausgehend zunächst in Achsrichtung des Knopfsteges 2 auf die Knopfplatte 10 zu, um anschließend in einen deutli­chen, radial auswärtsgerichteten Bogen b überzugehen. Der Bogen b nimmt einen kreisförmigen Verlauf und erstreckt sich über ca. 180°. Schließlich läuft der Bogen b in die Innensei­te des Knopfrandwulstes 11 ein. Die diesbezügliche Einlauf­stelle trägt das Bezugszeichen c. Der Radiuspunkt des Bogens b liegt etwa in der Mittelebene der Höhe des Knopfrandwul­stes 11. Der Zenit der Bögen b überragt die Oberseite des Abschnitts A. Der entsprechende Überstand ist relativ gering.The spokes 12 run from the starting point a on the shell region, starting in the axial direction of the button web 2 towards the button plate 10, in order to then merge into a clear, radially outward curve b. The arc b takes a circular course and extends over approximately 180 °. Finally, the bow b runs into the inside of the button edge bead 11. The relevant entry point bears the reference symbol c. The radius point of the arch b lies approximately in the central plane of the height of the button edge bead 11. The zenith of the arches b projects above the top of section A. The corresponding overhang is relatively small.

Die Oberseite des Abschnitts A fluchtet in Grundstellung ebenengleich mit der inversen Stirnfläche 2˝ des Knopfste­ges 2. Letzteres gilt auch in bezug auf die Variante gemäß Fig. 3.In the basic position, the top of section A is flush with the inverse end face 2˝ of button web 2. The latter also applies to the variant according to FIG. 3.

Der knopfstegseitige Wurzelbereich (Ausgangspunkte a) der Materialbrücke B geht von einem zentralen Dom 13 des Knopf­steges 2 aus. An letzteren schließt trägerseitig die oben erläuterte Befestigungshöhlung 6 an. Die flache Kuppel des Domes 13 schließt die Befestigungshöhlung 6 nach außen, d. h. nach oben hin ab.The root region on the button web side (starting points a) of the material bridge B starts from a central dome 13 of the button web 2. The above-mentioned fastening cavity 6 adjoins the latter on the carrier side. The flat dome of the dome 13 closes the mounting cavity 6 to the outside, i. H. upwards.

Die Materialbrücke B gemäß Fig. 3 besteht aus einem aus vielen kleinen, jedoch in Umlaufrichtung zusammenhängenden Bögen b bestehenden Faltenbalg 14. Letzterer erstreckt sich ebenenmäßig auf kürzestem Wege zur Innenseite des Knopfrand­wulstes 11. Wie ersichtlich, ist eine relativ enge Wellung gewählt. Letztere schafft wie die oben erwähnten Bögen b einen Längungsvorrat für den Steg 2 bzw. die Knopfplatte 10. Diese ist dadurch nicht nur optimal kippbar, sondern auch in axialer Richtung, also unter Überschreitung des Grundabstan­des y verlagerbar. Ungeachtet dessen sind bei Druckbelastung der Knopfplatte auch noch Verlagerungen in Richtung des Trägerstoffes 3 möglich, dies ohne Beschädigungsgefahr zufol­ge des Streckvorrats der Materialbrücke B.The material bridge B according to FIG. 3 consists of a bellows 14 consisting of many small, but connected in the circumferential direction bends 14. The latter extends in a flat manner along the shortest path to the inside of the button edge bead 11. As can be seen, a relatively narrow corrugation has been selected. The latter, like the arches b mentioned above, creates an elongation supply for the web 2 or the button plate 10. This not only allows it to be tilted optimally, but also in the axial direction, that is to say when the basic distance y is exceeded. Regardless of that, when under pressure the button plate also possible displacements in the direction of the carrier material 3, without risk of damage due to the stretching stock of the material bridge B.

In bezug auf Fig. 1 kann sogar eine Art Plopeffekt erreicht werden.With reference to FIG. 1, a kind of plop effect can even be achieved.

Wahlweise läßt sich die Knopfplatte 10 durch eine kalotten­förmige Applikation 15 überspannen. Letztere hintergreift den eine Hinterschnittfläche aufweisenden Knopfrandwulst 11. Deren einwärts gewölbter Innenrand ist von unten her einge­schlagen. Diese Umbördelung trägt das Bezugszeichen 15′. Den gebrauchsgerechten Befestigungshalt erhält die Applikation 15 durch direkten Randübergriff der oberen äußeren Kante des Knopfrandwulstes 11. Die Wölbung der Applikation ist so, daß ein erheblicher Freiraum 16 für axiale Relativbewegung von selbsttragender Knopfplatte 10 zu Knopfsteg 3 ermöglicht ist.Optionally, the button plate 10 can be spanned by a dome-shaped application 15. The latter engages behind the button edge bead 11, which has an undercut surface. The inside edge, which is curved inwards, is turned in from below. This flange has the reference symbol 15 '. The application 15 receives the fastening attachment that is appropriate for the use by direct overlapping of the upper outer edge of the button edge bead 11. The curvature of the application is such that a considerable free space 16 for axial relative movement from the self-supporting button plate 10 to the button web 3 is made possible.

Der Dom 13 gemäß dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel ist gegen­über dem max. Durchmesser des Knopfsteges 2 abgesetzt, so daß eine kerbtalartige Ringzone 17 vorliegt, was einerseits aus entformungstechnischen Gründen von Bedeutung ist, ande­rersseits aber auch trägerseitige Verschiebebewegungen der Knopfplatte 10 parallel zu ihrer Grundstellung begünstigt; es liegt eine, wenn auch kleine radial einwärtsgerichtete Ausweichzone bis zur Anlage an der klassischen Domaußenflan­ke 13′ vor. Ferner ist der Überschnappeffekt begünstigt (vergl. strichpunktierte S-Form in Fig. 1) Selbst eine hori­zontale Querverlagerung ist dadurch möglich. Die entsprechen­de Querverlagerung kann auch bei der Variante gemäß Fig. 3 stattfinden, wozu sich die Balgfalten auf der einen Seite in einen flacheren Flankenwinkel stellen und auf der anderen in einen steilen, bishin zur vertikalen Ausrichtung der Balgfal­tenflanken.The dome 13 according to the first embodiment is compared to the max. The diameter of the button web 2 is reduced, so that a notch-valley-like ring zone 17 is present, which is important on the one hand for reasons of demolding, but on the other hand also favors carrier-side displacement movements of the button plate 10 parallel to its basic position; there is a, albeit small, radially inward evasive zone to rest on the classic dome outer flank 13 '. Furthermore, the snap-over effect is favored (see dash-dotted S-shape in Fig. 1). Even a horizontal transverse displacement is possible. The corresponding transverse displacement can also take place in the variant according to FIG. 3, for which purpose the bellows folds are on one side in a flatter flank angle and on the other in a steep, up to the vertical alignment of the bellows fold flanks.

Alle in der Bechreibung erwähnten und in der Zeichnung darge­stellten neuen Merkmale sind erfindungswesentlich, auch soweit sie in den Ansprüchen nicht ausdrücklich beansprucht sind.All new features mentioned in the description and shown in the drawing are essential to the invention, too unless they are expressly claimed in the claims.
