Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system of construction of die-cast snap button or press-stud, particularly for item for clothing, leather goods, including handbags, other leather accessories or the like, characterized by an innovative conception of the female section of the snap button or press-stud comprising a peculiar attachment of the elastic body.
  • the present invention allows the creation of snap button or press-stud in various aesthetic shapes and in various thicknesses, while maintaining the simplicity in construction, strength, an excellent snap-action and low cost.
  • the field of the invention is that of the snap button or press-stud, particularly for item for clothing, leather goods, including handbags, other leather accessories or the like, comprising a male section, fixed to a flap of tissue or leather or other materials and assembled to its head in other side of said flap, which is placed, using a slight pressure, into a female section, attached to another flap of tissue or leather or other materials and assembled to its head in other side of said flap.
  • the male section remains anchored to female section to ensure the fastening of clothing, leather goods, including handbags, leather accessories and the like.
  • patent US352271A is regarded as being the prior art closest to the subject-matter of the present invention and discloses a snap button or press-stud including a female section which comprising a plate or circular flat body, a ring and an elastic body.
  • the male and female sections are realized by a molding process by cutting and shaping of a ductile thin sheet of brass with the disadvantage that the quality of the metal surface of the sections is not perfectly smooth and shiny.
  • the female section comprises a circumferential groove in the edge, designed to trap and clamp therein an elastic body which, expanding, by elastic reaction, retains the male section in the coupling seat.
  • the circumferential groove in the edge of the female section increases the thickness of the border and thus it increases the overall thickness of the snap button or press-stud.
  • the circumferential groove in the edge of the female section reduces variability in shapes of said female section.
  • the elastic body, stuck in the edge clutters up the most part of the circular flat body surface, reducing the variability of attachment of the female section to the tissue or leather or other materials.
  • the assembled elastic body reduces the variability of galvanized finishes because some galvanic finishes may cause the hardening and sticking of the said elastic body to the female section, causing the loss of its ability to flex and stretch.
  • the prior art provides also the possibility to assemble the metal head of female section (that is the component in the opposite exterior side of the tissue fixing inside the said female section) to a die-cast metal support with the disadvantage of limiting the size of the snap button or press-stud.
  • the main object of the present invention is solving the above problems by creating a die-cast snap button or press-stud in various metallic and plastic materials characterized by a female section including an elastic body with a rectangular shape and a round cross-section which is trapped directly in the conical ring.
  • an advantage of the invention is to provide a die-cast snap button or press-stud, having the reduced thickness of the edge of the female section because of the lack of the circumferential groove and, in turn, the overall reduced thickness of said snap button or press-stud so that, once the male and female sections attached, the respective flaps of tissue or leather become more adjacent each other and the fastening is improved.
  • Another advantage of the invention is to provide a die-cast female section lacking in the circumferential groove which can be produced in various shapes and thicknesses, even a small thickness.
  • another advantage of the invention is to provide a die-cast female section with all its surface available to be fixed directly to tissue, without any support, in various ways as, for example, sewing, riveting and with stitched pins with punched pressure plates, maintaining the strength of the snap button or press-stud, the glossy finish and smooth of the die-cast metal and excellent snap-action.
  • Another advantage of the invention is to provide a die-cast female section, using only one mold, to which a rectangular elastic body can be easily and handly included.
  • the invention allows to obtain the final product in only one production phase, maintaining the simplicity of construction, speedy in production and low cost.
  • an advantage of the invention is to provide a die-cast snap button or press-stud to which, in case of galvanic processing, the elastic body is inserted in after said processing, preserving completely the elastic properties of the elastic body and an excellent snap-action.
  • Another advantage of the invention is the possibility of customization of the die-cast snap button or press-stud with the customer logos, also for a minimum quantity of orders.
  • the female section comprises a circular flat body (1) with a central hole (2) and a conical ring (3), coaxial to said circular flat body, connected to the same on opposite side bands (4), as shown by the detail in Figure 1 ).
  • the surface of the circular flat body (1) is a plane surface.
  • Figure 2 also shows that the elastic body (6) is not inserted in an annular peripheral groove, but surrounds the conical ring (3) connected to the circular flat body (1). This fact allows the possibility to fix the circular flat body to the tissue with various modes such as, for example, by creating the holes for the stitching (13), avoiding to pierce the tissue, or by using a punched pressure plate.
