INTERCHANGEABLE BUTTON

D E S C R I P C I ÓN

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is part of the technical field of fashion accessories and more specifically presents a button that is customizable to adapt to the needs or tastes of the user in each case.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Buttons are essential elements used in the fashion industry for centuries. The buttons are elements that allow you to fasten or adjust the clothes to the user's body. These elements allow the garment to close when it is inserted into a buttonhole of a size corresponding to yours located at one end of the clothing opposite to the end on which the button itself is.

Different types of buttons are known from the state of the art, among which those that comprise a solid body with a protruding hole in its back face through which they are sewn to the garment, and those that comprise a body with minus two through holes through which the thread is passed to sew them to the clothes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention proposes an interchangeable button comprising at least one body adaptable to the tastes or needs of the user in each case.

Fashion consumers are increasingly demanding with the products offered and increasingly seek exclusivity and differentiation. Each individual combines the elements of fashion in a way appropriate to their personality to obtain their own identity.

The proposed button is intended to be sewn to the fabric on which the user wants to place it, either aesthetically or to be able to close a piece of clothing or keep part of a fabric in a specific place, fastened with said button.

The essential difference with respect to the known buttons of the prior art is that it comprises a base piece, which is intended to be sewn to the fabric and also a complement piece, which is intended to be attached to the base piece and which is interchangeable .

At least one of the two pieces comprises a clamping element to ensure the union between them when the button is being used. Said fastener can be for example a threaded or a recess or a projection. In addition, the base piece or the complement piece may have a recess in which the other piece can be fitted to further secure the fixation.

The proposed button therefore allows the user to change the aesthetic appearance of the button comfortably and quickly. It is simply necessary to remove the complement piece and replace it with a complement piece of different appearance.

Another advantage of the proposed button over the prior art buttons is that a button of the desired size can be used, regardless of whether the button has to enter a buttonhole of a certain size. For this, the base piece of the button is of a size appropriate to the size of the buttonhole in which it has to be fixed and the complement piece is the size desired by the designer or the user. The base piece is passed through the corresponding buttonhole and subsequently the complement piece is attached to the base piece. In this way the button can be made as large as desired and therefore the button can have any dimension regardless of the size of the buttonhole into which it is to be inserted.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical implementation thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Examples of embodiments of the invention are described below with the help of Figures 1 to 3.

The proposed interchangeable button is of the type intended to be sewn by a thread (not shown) to a piece of clothing or to a fabric. The most important advantage provided by the button of the present invention over those known in the state of the art is the possibility that it offers the user to change it and adapt it to their needs and tastes in a simple, convenient and fast way.

The button comprises: a base piece (1) comprising at least one hole through which the thread passes; and -a complement piece (2) attached to the base piece (1); where the base part (1) or the complement part (2) comprises a fastening element (3) designed to allow the connection between the base part (1) and the complement part (2).

Thus, the base piece (1) is the piece that is intended to be sewn to the fabric and on which the user can subsequently place the complement piece (2) that he wants at any time.

Said base piece (1) can comprise a single hole for the passage of the thread, in which case it comprises a protuberance, arranged on the face that faces the fabric and the hole is located in said protuberance.

In another embodiment, the base piece (1) may comprise more than one hole for the passage of the wire. Generally in these cases it will have two or four holes. Said holes may be arranged on the face of the base piece (1) facing the fabric.

Figure 2 shows an exploded view of the interchangeable button in which the base part (1) is observed on one side and the complement part (2) on the other hand.

In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the base part (1) comprises at least one recess (4) in the perimeter of which the clamping element (3) is arranged and which is intended to receive the complement part (2). This embodiment is as shown for example in Figure 2.

In cases where the clamping element (3) is arranged in a recess in the base piece (1), said clamping element (3) can be a threaded and in that case the complement piece (2) comprises about Its contour is a threaded complementary to the clamping element (3). In another example, the clamping element (3) is a perimeter recess and the complement piece (2) comprises around its contour a perimeter projection intended to fit in the clamping element (3). Likewise, the clamping element (3) can be a perimeter projection in which case the complement piece (2) comprises around its contour a perimeter recess intended to receive the clamping element (3).

In another exemplary embodiment, such as that shown for example in Figure 3, the base part (1) comprises a recess in the perimeter of which the fastener (3) is arranged and which is intended to receive the complement part (2 ). In this embodiment the complement part (2) is larger than the base part (1) and completely covers it so that the user only sees said complement part (2).

In this exemplary embodiment, the fastener (3) can be a thread and in that case the base part (1) comprises around its contour a thread that is complementary to that of the fastener (3). Also the clamping element (3)

5 could be a perimeter recess and the base piece (2) comprise around its perimeter a perimeter projection intended to fit in the fastener (3). Another possibility in this embodiment is that the clamping element (3) is a perimeter projection and the base part in this case comprises around its contour a perimeter recess intended to receive the clamping element (3).

10 The base piece is always used as a support and the complement piece could be, in addition to any known material for a button, a technological device (such as a camera), a precious metal, a jewelry item, etc.

15 Both the base piece and the complementary piece can be different sizes, materials, shapes and decorations.

In addition the complement piece (2) can cover the base part (1) totally or partially depending on the needs or tastes of the users to give an even greater versatility.
