Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt mit den Merkmalen im Kennzeichenteil des Anspruchs 1.This object is achieved with the features in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben:An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawings and is described in more detail below:

Der Befestigungsstift (1) ist kostruktiv so ausgebildet, daß sein Oberteil beispielsweise ein flacher Haltekopf ist und sein Unterteil eine Spitze mit kugelförmigem Oberteil, an dem sich zwei öffnungen (11) und zwei Schlitze (7) befinden, deren Durchmesser den Kupplungsstiften (6) entsprechen. Haltekopf und Spitze mit dem Kugelförmigen Oberteil sind durch einen Führungshals verbunden.The fastening pin (1) is designed so that its upper part is, for example, a flat holding head and its lower part is a tip with a spherical upper part, on which there are two openings (11) and two slots (7), the diameter of which corresponds to the coupling pins (6) correspond. Holding head and tip with the spherical upper part are connected by a guide neck.

An der hohlzylindrisch ausgebildeten Verschlußhülse (2) befindet sich an dem Oberteil eine Öffnung (12) die zum Ein- und Ausführen des Befestigungstiftes (1) dient. An dem Unterteil ist der Führungsdeckel (8) mit Vorsprung (16) und Haltestiften (9) befestigt.On the hollow cylindrical closure sleeve (2) there is an opening (12) on the upper part which is used to insert and remove the fastening pin (1). The guide cover (8) is fastened to the lower part with a projection (16) and retaining pins (9).

Die zwei halbrunden Führungsbacken (3) sind so ausgebildet, daß sie beim Ein- und Ausführen des Befestigungstifts (1) seitlich beweglich sind und von der Druckfeder (4) gehalten werden. Erfolgt die Einführung des Befestigungsstiftes (1), so schließen sich die halbrunden Führungsbacken (3) um den Hals so zusammen, daß dieser nach oben und unten beweglich bleibt und sie als Sicherungssperring zusätzlich dienen.The two semicircular guide jaws (3) are designed so that they can move laterally when the fastening pin (1) is inserted and removed and are held by the compression spring (4). If the fastening pin (1) is inserted, the semicircular guide jaws (3) close around the neck in such a way that the neck remains movable upwards and downwards and they also serve as a locking ring.

Die Druckfeder (4) dient dazu, nach erfolgter Koppelung des Befestigungsstiftes (1), diesen ständig unter Druck zu halten, damit eine unerwünschte Auskoppelung unmöglich wird und die automatische Abstandsregulierung gewährleistet ist.The compression spring (4) is used to keep the fastening pin (1) under constant pressure after coupling, so that undesired decoupling is impossible and the automatic distance regulation is ensured.

Die unteren zwei halbrunden Führungsbacken (5), sind nach unten hohlzylindrisch ausgebildet und haben links und rechts der Trennfuge je einen Schlitz (10) und an deren unteren Rand, von den Schlitzen ausgehende und in jeweils entgegengesetzte Richtungen bis unmittelbar zur jeweiligen Trennfuge verlaufende Aussparungen.The lower two semicircular guide jaws (5) are hollow-cylindrical at the bottom and each have a slot (10) on the left and right of the joint, and on their lower edge, recesses starting from the slots and running in opposite directions to the respective joint.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der im Anspruch 1 beschriebenen Erfindung sind Gegenstand des Unteransprüche.
Von Vorteil ist, wenn eine obere Führungsbacke gemäß, Anspruch 3 vorgesehen ist, die zur Zentrierung des Stiftes dient und als ein zusätzlicher Sicherungssperring wirkt.
An der Innenseite der Führungsbacken (5) befinden sich die Kupplungsstifte (6), welche dazu dienen, den Kupplungsvorgang mit dem kugelförmigen Teil des Befestigungsstiftes (1), nach dem sich die Führungsbacken (5) um seinen Hals geschlossen haben, zu vollziehen.Advantageous developments of the invention described in claim 1 are the subject of the dependent claims.
It is advantageous if an upper guide jaw is provided according to claim 3, which serves to center the pin and acts as an additional locking ring.
On the inside of the guide jaws (5) are the coupling pins (6), which serve to carry out the coupling process with the spherical part of the fastening pin (1), after which the guide jaws (5) have closed around his neck.

Beim Trennen der Verschlußteile wird wie folgt verfahren:
Der Befestigungsstift (1) wird nach oben gezogen und nach rechts bis zum Anschlag (18) gedreht, damit sich die halbrunden Führungsbacken (5) auf die Haltestifte (9) des Führungsdeckels (8) aufsetzen (siehe Blatt (1) Schnitt (1) der Zeichung).When separating the fastener parts, proceed as follows:
The fastening pin (1) is pulled up and turned to the right as far as it will go (18) so that the semicircular guide jaws (5) sit on the retaining pins (9) of the guide cover (8) (see sheet (1) section (1) the drawing).

In dieser Position ist die automatische Abstandsregulierung ausgeschaltet. Der Befestigungsstift (1) wird nach innen gedrückt und jetz nach links gedreht bis die Kupplungsstifte (6) in die Schlitze (7) einschlüpfen. Danach wird der Befestigungsstift (1) herausgezogen (siehe Blatt (1) Schnitt (2) der Zeichnung.In this position the automatic distance regulation is switched off. The fastening pin (1) is pressed inwards and is now turned to the left until the coupling pins (6) slip into the slots (7). Then the fastening pin (1) is pulled out (see sheet (1) section (2) of the drawing.

Beim Verbinden der Verschlußteile wird wie folgt verfahren:
Der Befestigungsstift (1) wir in die Verschlußhülse (2) eingeführt, nach unten gegen den Deckel (8) gedrückt und dann wieder so weit herausgezogen und dabei gedreht, bis die Kupplungsstifte (6) in die Kupplungsbohrungen (11) eingreifen. Danach wird der Befestigungsstift (1) nach links bis zum Anschlag gedreht und dann losgelassen. Die Feder (4) drückt die hohlzylindrischen halbrunden Führungsbacken (5) mit den seitlichen Schlitzen (10) auf die Haltestifte des Führungsdeckels (8) nach unten, damit die automatische Abstandsregulierung wieder geschaltet ist (siehe Blatt (1) Schnitt (1) der Zeichnung).When connecting the locking parts, proceed as follows:
The fastening pin (1) is inserted into the sealing sleeve (2), pressed down against the cover (8) and then pulled out again and rotated until the coupling pins (6) engage in the coupling bores (11). Then the fastening pin (1) is turned to the left as far as it will go and then released. The spring (4) presses the hollow cylindrical semicircular guide jaws (5) with the side slots (10) down on the retaining pins of the guide cover (8) so that the automatic distance adjustment is switched on again (see sheet (1) section (1) of the drawing ).

Alle Teile sind aus einem rostfreien Material oder aus anderen geeigneten Werkstoffen und Können beliebige Form und Größe haben.All parts are made of a rustproof material or of other suitable materials and can have any shape and size.

Weitere Vorteile dieser Erfindung liegen auf der Hand. so können beispielsweise damit ausgerüstete Knöpfe befestigt und wieder abgenommen werden. Dadurch wird verhindert, daß die Knöpfe beim Waschen und/oder Reinigen beschädigt oder ihr Finish verlieren.Further advantages of this invention are obvious. for example, buttons equipped with it can be attached and removed again. This prevents the buttons from being damaged or losing their finish during washing and / or cleaning.

Generell wird die Pflege der Kleidung beim Bügeln erleichtert, da solche Knöpfe nie im Weg sind.In general, the care of clothes when ironing is made easier because such buttons are never in the way.

Infolge der sicheren und stoffschonenden Befestigung entfällt das lästige Annähen der Knöpfe.Due to the safe and gentle attachment, the annoying sewing of the buttons is no longer necessary.

Durch die automatische Abstandsregulierung wird, ob zugeknöpft oder abgeknöpft, immer ein akkurater Sitz der Knöpfe gewährleistet.The automatic distance control ensures that the buttons are always correctly seated, whether buttoned or unbuttoned.

Auch für Perlenketten bzw. überall dort, wo Schnüre, Kabel und Ketten, die sicher miteinander verbunden und wieder voneinander getrennt werden sollen, ist Zweiteilige Steckverschluß für abnehmbare Schmuckstücke mit automatischer Abstandsregulierung, die sich bei Erschütterung, Druck und Ziehwirkung nicht von selbst lösen kann, mit vielen Vorteilen verwenbar.Also for pearl necklaces or wherever cords, cables and chains that are to be securely connected and separated from each other, there is a two-part plug closure for detachable jewelery with automatic distance regulation, which cannot be released by vibration, pressure and pulling action, usable with many advantages.
