Abstract

PCT No. PCT/FR92/00306 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 6, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 6, 1993 PCT Filed Apr. 6, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/17082 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 15, 1992.A novel system of rapidly securing a button using stud or thread is described, with the possibility of recovering the button after fitting. Improved appearance is achieved by rendering the stud penetration hole invisible on its upper surface. The button comprises an upper part or cup which can be fitted if necessary with a decorative cover (4). It also comprises a support or base with a transverse through hole (6) used for recovering the button or securing it in a conventional manner, the stud penetration hole having two retaining lugs, and also a serrated (2) or coarse (8) stud for securing the button to the fabric (7). The aim of the invention is to improve the appearance of existing "quick fit" buttons, to enable said buttons to be recovered, and to allow them to be secured in a conventional manner.

Description

La présente invention concerne un bouton à fixation rapide par pic ou par fils, récupérable après la pose.The present invention relates to a quick-fixing button with pick or wire, recoverable after installation.

Il existe actuellement différents types de boutons utilisant un pic pour la fixation du bouton; notamment:

  • le brevet US-A-2863 197, pui montre les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1, montre un bouton dont la tige métallique barbelée s'enfonce dans la base du bouton pour accrocher les barbes de son pic dans la matière. Il y a de par ce fait dégradation évidente de la matière et impossibilité de récupérer le bouton;
  • le brevet US-A-1981 813 dont la retenue se fait par des languettes en agrippant lors de l'introduction le pic "punaise" dont la surface ne présente aucune aspérités ni rugosités permettant une retenue par friction. On connait également d'autres boutons à fixation rapide avec pic traversant (brevet FR A 1019 518 p. ex.) mais ceux-ci présentent les désavantages suivants :
  • pic et trou de pénétration visibles et inesthétiques;
  • boutons difficilement ou pas récupérables;
  • boutons ne pouvant pas être fixer traditionnellement;
  • manipulation malaisée;
  • nécessité de cacher le trou de pénétration par une capsule ou un couvercle;
  • nécessité de déformation importante du trou ou des fentes de pénétration.
There are currently different types of buttons using a spike for fixing the button; especially:
  • US-A-2863 197, then shows the characteristics of the preamble of claim 1, shows a button whose barbed metal rod is inserted into the base of the button to hang the barbs of its peak in the material. There is thereby obvious degradation of the material and inability to recover the button;
  • US-A-1981 813, the retention of which is done by tongues, gripping during the introduction the "pushpin" peak, the surface of which has no roughness or roughness allowing friction to be retained. There are also known other quick-fixing buttons with through peak (patent FR A 1019 518 for example) but these have the following disadvantages:
  • visible and unsightly peak and penetration hole;
  • buttons difficult or not recoverable;
  • buttons that cannot be fixed traditionally;
  • awkward handling;
  • need to hide the penetration hole by a capsule or cover;
  • need for significant deformation of the hole or penetration slots.

La présente invention se propose donc de remédier à tous ces inconvénients de manière simple, précise, et efficace.The present invention therefore proposes to remedy all these drawbacks in a simple, precise and effective manner.

L'originalité de notre bouton consiste dans la conception du système de fixation, dans l'utilisation des trous latéraux pour la récupération du bouton, dans sa polyvalence (rapide et traditionnelle), et dans ses avantages esthétiques.The originality of our button consists in the design of the fixing system, in the use of the lateral holes for the recovery of the button, in its versatility (fast and traditional), and in its aesthetic advantages.

L'introduction d'une broche de part en part de la base du bouton lors de l'injection, ou par tout autre moyen technique ayant le même résultat, réduit la matière au niveau du trou central et crée deux ergots, dont la souplesse lors de la pénétration du pic permettent le blocage et la retenue du bouton.The introduction of a spindle right through the base of the button during injection, or by any other technical means having the same result, reduces the material at the level of the central hole and creates two pins, whose flexibility during of the penetration of the peak allow the blocking and the retention of the button.

Le pic est constitué d'une partie conique chargée seulement de transpercer le tissu, d'une partie cylindrique dont la surface présente un aspect sablé ou cranté qui permettra la retenue du bouton, et de la tête de picThe pick consists of a conical part responsible only for piercing the fabric, a cylindrical part whose surface has a sanded or notched appearance which will allow the button to be retained, and the pick head

Ce système a l'avantage de :

  • Permettre par la taille réduite et adaptée du pic d'éviter que celui-ci n'apparaisse après la fixation, ce qui supprime l'aspect inesthétique des précédents boutons
  • Permettre de coudre traditionnellement le bouton en utilisant les trous latéraux existant à sa base.
  • Permettre de récupérer par la suite le bouton sans l'endommager en introduisant une pointe ou un objet pointu dans les trous latéraux pour repousser la tige.
  • Permettre d'utiliser la tête du pic comme contre-bouton quand celui-ci est nécessaire (cuir, fourrure, ).
  • Permettre une manipulation plus aisée en utilisant des pics adaptés à l'épaisseur du support.
This system has the advantage of:
  • Allow by the reduced and adapted size of the peak to prevent it from appearing after fixing, which removes the unsightly appearance of the previous buttons
  • Allow to sew the button traditionally using the side holes existing at its base.
  • Allow the button to be recovered later without damaging it by inserting a point or a pointed object into the side holes to repel the rod.
  • Allow the head of the pick to be used as a counter-button when it is necessary (leather, fur,).
  • Allow easier handling by using picks adapted to the thickness of the support.

As in Figure 1, the tip is terminated by a sphere or an ogive (1) responsible for spreading the fibers of the fabric, and a pick head (3) responsible for retaining the button to the fabric.

En figure 5, un bouton fixé à sa base par un pic dont les aspérités dues au sablage (8) permettent le blocage contre les ergots (9) .

Un logement (5) est prévu pour la pointe du pic.In FIG. 5, a button fixed at its base by a peak, the roughness of which due to sanding (8) allows it to be locked against the pins (9). These pins are the result of the weakening of material on each side of the central hole due to the introduction of the spindle during manufacture or by any other technical means giving the same result. A housing (5) is provided for the tip of the peak.

Comme dans les variantes des figures 2 et 3, le bouton est transpercé d'un trou de part en part permettant la récupération du bouton ou/et sa fixation traditionnelle par fil et aiguille.As in the variants of Figures 2 and 3, the button is pierced with a hole from side to side allowing recovery of the button and / or its traditional fixing by thread and needle.
