Description
La présente invention concerne un bouton pour vêtement avec un fermoir actionnable, tel qu'un bouton de manchette.The present invention relates to a button for clothing with an operable clasp, such as a cufflink.
Un bouton de manchette est un accessoire de mode qui permet de fermer la manche d'une chemise lorsque celle-ci ne comporte que des fentes sur le poignet. La plupart des boutons de manchette connus comprend une partie de tête décorative, une partie de broche, et à l'autre extrémité une partie de fermoir sous forme d'un bras pivotant d'une position alignée avec la broche afin de pouvoir insérer la broche à travers les fentes à une position orthogonale à cette dernière pour ancrer la broche à la manche. Un système de ressort et de positionnement bi-stable permet de maintenir le bras du système fermoir dans des positions "verrouillées" et "déverrouillées". La rotation manuelle du bras de fermoir est difficile à réaliser, l'utilisateur n'ayant qu'une main à disposition pour le verrouillage et le déverrouillage. Entre outre, il peut arriver que le bouton de manchette se décroche si le fermoir s'accroche à un objet involontairement ou qu'une extrémité du bras se trouve dans la fente du vêtement permettant la rotation en position déverrouillée du fermoir.A cufflink is a fashion accessory that closes the sleeve of a shirt when it has only slots on the wrist. Most known cufflinks include a decorative head portion, a pin portion, and at the other end a clasp portion in the form of a pivoting arm of a position aligned with the pin to insert the pin through the slots at a position orthogonal to the latter to anchor the pin to the sleeve. A bi-stable spring and positioning system keeps the clasp system arm in "locked" and "unlocked" positions. The manual rotation of the clasp arm is difficult to achieve, the user having only one hand available for locking and unlocking. In addition, it may happen that the cuff button is released if the clasp clings to an object involuntarily or that an end of the arm is in the slot of the garment allowing rotation in the unlocked position of the clasp.

La coiffe 56 du bouton poussoir 52 du système d'actionnement peut être solidaire d'un disque décoratif ou autre élément décoratif formant l'élément visuel et décoratif du bouton, par exemple d'un bouton de manchette. Alternativement, la coiffe 56 du bouton poussoir 52 peut faire partie d'un élément décoratif sur la surface décorative 10, étant configurée pour être soit à fleur avec la surface décorative ou en légère dépression ou en légère projection par rapport à cette surface pour donner un effet décoratif selon les désirs du designer de la partie décorative du bouton.The
La partie de fermoir peut comporter une seule languette avec un seul bras ou une seule extension disposée de manière asymétrique par rapport à l'axe de la partie de broche 38. Il est également envisageable dans le cadre de l'invention d'avoir une languette pivotante avec un deuxième bras s'étendant de la partie d'actionnement 21, de forme symétrique ou asymétrique au bras 20 s'étendant de l'autre côté du pivot 22. Dans une telle forme d'exécution, lorsque le bouton est en position déverrouillée, un des bras est donc disposé aligné et adjacent à la partie de broche 3 du bouton.The clasp portion may comprise a single tongue with a single arm or a single extension arranged asymmetrically with respect to the axis of the
Le ressort de l'actionneur peut être un ressort à boudin tel qu'illustré dans les figures, ou peut être de tout autre type de ressort ou de système élastique appliquant une force de rappel sur l'actionneur vers la position déverrouillée. Ce ressort peut par exemple être un ressort circulaire ou à spirale autour du pivot 22 appliquant une force de rotation sur le ou les languettes 14. Les ressorts du mécanisme verrouillage-déverrouillage peuvent être des ressorts à boudin tels qu'illustrés dans les figures, mais peut également comporter d'autres types de ressort appliquant une force élastique sur les boutons 66 dans la position verrouillée. Le ressort peut être disposé entre deux parties des bras de verrouillage (c'est-à-dire directement entre eux) plutôt qu'entre chaque bras de verrouillage et le boîtier.The actuator spring may be a coil spring as shown in the figures, or may be any other type of spring or spring system applying a restoring force on the actuator to the unlocked position. This spring may for example be a circular or spiral spring around the
Dans la forme d'exécution illustrée, le mécanisme de verrouillage-déverrouillage effectue un déplacement linéaire, toutefois il est également envisageable dans le cadre de l'invention d'avoir des bras pivotants ou guidés sur un rail ou dans une cavité non droite afin d'effectuer un mouvement de rotation avec ou sans translation pour dégager le doigt de verrouillage de l'élément de verrouillage se trouvant sur l'actionneur.In the illustrated embodiment, the locking-unlocking mechanism performs a linear movement, however it is also conceivable in the context of the invention to have pivoting arms or guided on a rail or in a cavity not right to rotational movement with or without translation to disengage the locking finger from the locking element on the actuator.
