Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a removable button or snap-fastener construction.
  • buttons or snap fasteners After having washed and ironed the garment article, said buttons or snap fasteners must be obviously relocated on the garment article.
  • the removal and, mainly, the re-application of the snap fasteners are fatiguing operations which require a comparatively long time.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide such a button construction which may be quickly and easily removed and reassembled again on the garment or cloth article.
  • a main object of the invention is to provide such a removable button construction which has good aesthetical features.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a button construction which, owing to its specifically designed structural features, is very reliable and safe in operation.
  • a removable button construction characterized in that said construction comprises a fixed body which may be associated with a fabric material flap and being adapted to support a removable portion including a button element associated with a decorated portion; said fixed body comprising a stem including a nail element; said fixed body being clamped to the fabric flap or portion by said nail element passing through said flap and being swaged or clamped in any other suitable manner in a counter-portion arranged on the opposite face of the fabric.
  • the counter-portion comprises preferably a disc element including a hole having a tapering section and which is engaged by a tip of said nail element, said tip being swaged or counter-riveted in said hole.
  • the stem comprises a threaded seat adapted to be engaged by a threaded end piece of said button element, thereby allowing said button element, together with its decorated portion, to be removably associated with said fixed body.
  • the removable button or snap-fastener construction according to the present invention which has been generally indicated by the reference number 1, comprises a fixed body 2 which may be coupled to a fabric flap 3 and being adapted to support a removable portion including a button element 4, associated with a decorated portion 5.
  • Said fixed body 2 comprises a stem 6 including a nail element 7.
  • Said stem 6 comprises a threaded seat 8 which may be engaged by a threaded end-piece 9 of the button element 4.
  • the button element 4, together with its decorated portion 5, may be removably associated with said fixed body 2.
  • the fixed body 2 is clamped to the fabric flap 3 by the nail 7 passing through said flap and being swaged or clamped in any other desired manner, in a counter-portion 10 including a disc element having a tapering cross-section hole 11.
  • Said counter-portion 10 may also comprise a cap element 12, as shown in figure 4 .
  • the counter-portion which in figure 6 has been indicated by the reference number 11, is swaged.
  • Figure 7 shows yet another embodiment of the removable button or snap-fastener construction 1 according to the present invention, in which the fixed body, generally indicated by the reference number 22, comprises a stem 6 including a nail element 7 and a flange or base 13.
  • the base 13 comprises, on a side thereof facing the fabric flap 3, a annular ridge or projection 14.
  • the decorated portion 5 comprises a central opening having a bottom edge 15 and adapted to engage the head portion 16 of the button element 4.
  • Said decorated portion 5 is locked on the head 16 of the button element 4, but swaging the bottom edge 15 on said head or by a glue layer applied between the perimetrical outer edge of the button element head 16 and the inner portion of the bottom edge 15 of the decorated portion 5 opening.
  • said decorated portion 5 may be connected to the head 16 of the button element 4 by a welding operation.
  • the button element 4 and decorated portion 5 integral therewith may be removed from the fixed body 2 while leaving the latter associated with the fabric 3, by simply screwing off the button element.
  • buttons element 4 may be re-screwed again on the fixed body 2.
  • the invention has provided a removable button or snap-fastener construction allowing to easily and quickly remove and reassembling again the decorated portion while leaving its base or bottom firmly anchored to the garment or cloth article.
  • the removable button construction according to the present invention provides moreover the advantage of having a thin thickness owing to the fact that the nail element 7 is swaged or clamped to the opposite side of the stem 6, thereby the stem threaded seat 8 may be fully engaged by the threaded end-piece 9 of the button element 4.
  • the axial dimension of the construction that is the distance x between the surface of the fabric 3 and the decorated portion 5 laying plane, will be very small.
  • tip end of the nail element 7 is swaged at the opposite side of the stem 6 and that the swaging operation must not be performed within the threaded seat 8 of the stem, thereby preventing said seat or stem from being damaged.
  • the height dimension of the button construction is very small, since the swaged tip end of the nail element 7 and counter-portions 9, 11 and 13 have a small or thin thickness.
  • the used materials, as well as the contingent size and shapes can be any, depending on requirements.
