Definitions

  • the invention relates to a button with a button handle to be fastened to a piece of clothing and a button edge bead which is concentric with it and which carries a button plate and is connected to the button handle via a flexible material bridge which projects outward from the button handle and is curved.
  • a button of this type is known from the earlier application published with EP-A2-0 291 047. Its button plate can be tilted relative to the button stem. The button plate sits on a button edge bead which is concentric to the button stem and which is connected to the button stem by a flexible material bridge which projects outwards from the button stem. The flexible material bridge always returns the button to its basic position; In this respect it acts as a return spring. Starting from an upper edge zone of the button stem, the material bridge extends in an arc rising into the button edge bead, which is overlapped on the outside by the edge of the button plate that is bent slightly inwards inside the material bridge molded ribs are used to increase the desired flexibility.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a button which, while further developing the arch shape of the material bridge, provides a high degree of use stability, while still being inexpensive to button.
  • the subclaim is an advantageous development of the button according to the invention.
  • a button with increased utility value is achieved: It is characterized above all by an improved buttonability, which is essentially due to the axial elongation of the button stem achieved.
  • Such a button plate connection thus exceeds the classic sewing handle in terms of suppleness.
  • the process is such that the arch of the flexible material bridge formed from memories runs in the axial direction of the button stem from the latter to the button plate.
  • the spoke-shaped alignment of the arches not only increases flexibility, but also saves material.
  • such an elbow provides a considerable amount of elongation or movement for the tilting movement of the button plate or for the axial displacement that can be carried out overlapping or independently of it be chosen so that a kind of snap effect forms, which is a first layer of the button plate close to the carrier defined and a further protruding, so that after buttoning simply bring the button closer to the load by axially directed force.
  • An advantageous variant of the bridge training consists in that the material bridge is designed as a (formed from several arches) radially directed bellows. This is expediently a concentrically rich corrugated wall section which is expedient for space-saving reasons in a transverse plane to the axis of the button stem runs.
  • a further development that is advantageous for both solutions consists in the fact that the edge of the button plate engages behind an undercut surface of the button edge bead. The edge is turned in from below.
  • 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 This is, for example, the so-called button bar of a piece of clothing, which bar is covered by a cover bar that has the matching button holes.
  • a holding mandrel 4 driven in from the back of the carrier 3 serves as the button fastening means.
  • the latter is tapered, so that there is, for example, a tissue-protecting passage.
  • 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 face 2 'of the button web 2 facing the counter-holding plate 8 is formed with radial ribs 9.
  • 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 web 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 initially run towards the button plate 10 in the axial direction of the button web 2, in order then to merge into a clear, radially outward-facing arc 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 the 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 bows 14.
  • the latter extends in the shortest possible way 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.
