Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • buttons are particularly characterized by an improved buttonability, which is essentially due to the axial elongation of the button web.
  • a button plate connection even surpasses the classic sewing style in terms of suppleness.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the button web, material bridge and button edge bead are made of plastic.
  • resilient material that is to say the flexibility required, is used.
  • 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.
  • the button 1 is fastened to a carrier 3.
  • a carrier 3 is, for example, the so-called button bar of a garment, which bar is overlaid by a cover bar with the matching button holes.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the entrance of the fastening cavity 6 is funneled in accordance with the shape of the truncated cone section 7.
  • 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.
  • the radial ribs 9 engage in the section of the carrier 3 compressed there in the connection area to the counter plate 8.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 °.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 '.
  • 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.
