    • SUBJECT OF THE INVENTION
  • The invention solves this need with an accessory applicable to the slot and the little button (stud) in the neck. The accessory is a visible link between the buttonhole and the stud, made by: a button (1), a flexible light cord turned to double back on itself (twisted pair) (2), two sliders (3).
    • VARIANTS
  • The choice of materials and their finishing have an aesthetic value, so connected to the world of fashion.
    • THE SHAPE
  • The function of the accessory and its use determine the shape and size of its components.The accessory is composed of elements made of rigid materials (metal, plastic, glass, natural or artificial stones, etc) connected to each other by an element made of flexible material (rubber, leather, nylon, plastic, etc.)
    • List and amounts of the components
    1. 1) Button (1) (one)
    2. 2) Pair (2) (one)
    3. 3) Sliders (3) (two)
    BUTTON (1)
  • The button may be of various shapes whose dimensions are such as to prevent the passage of the button through the loop of the neck. The button is connected at both ends of the twisted pair. The connection with the twisted pair can be realized: in a definitive manner by means of solidification whether of molten materials or liquid; in a mechanical way by means of components which allow the connection (assembly) and revision (removal) of the accessory. The button connected to the pair realize the attachment to the neck slipping the loop from the inside of the slot until the button (4)
    • PAIR (2)
  • The pair (lanyard shot double back on itself) is the spacer between the loop and the little button of the shirt collar. Brings together the solid parts rigid: the button and the two cursors. The length of the lanyard is a function of the degree of openness that is desired between the slot and the stud of the neck. The loop connects two sliders, allowing it to slide in adherence to the right and to the left.
  • The feature of the material of the cord is to be flexible and have a certain consistency. Precisely, taking the accessory with two fingers on the side of the button pair must maintain a horizontal position, even with the weight of the sliders.
  • The commercial materials that match those requirements are: a) The elastic
    cables coated with glossy and matte metal wires (gold, silver, platinum, etc) or with textile threads in all colours and patterns. b) lanyards rubber, leather, nylon produced in all colours with gloss, matte, transparent finishing.
    • SLIDERS (3)
  • The sliders, along with the pair, are the visible elements, for this, the choice of materials, their shape, the finish have an aesthetic value related to the world of fashion.
  • The sliders may be, whether of a such size to allow passage through the buttonhole of the shirt, or more large as suggested by aesthetic needs.
  • The sliders run in adherence on the twisted pair and have the function to block the accessory towards the slot and towards the stud.
    • FINISHING OF COMPONENTS
  • The finish of the components depends on the function and location. The button placed in contact with the skin of the neck of the user, requires a smooth finish. The sliders placed on the outside of the neck of the shirt can be made with any type of material and have different finishes or process types (smooth, rough, glossy, matt).
  • The pair made of various flexible materials, such as rubber, plastic, leather, textile lanyards, can have different finishing solutions: glossy, opaque, transparent, coloured.
    • HOW TO USE
  • The accessory, fully assembled with all its components, (1), (2), (3), is inserted in the slot of the neck of the shirt from the inside, for the entire length of the twisted pair, with or without the two cursors , until the button locks against the buttonhole. With the thumb and forefinger of his left hand takes the noose of the lanyard and engages around the stud of the neck, finally sliding the two sliders one at the right one to the left up to tighten them against the stud and against the slot (4) (5).
    • P.S.
  • For: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) see drawing.
