Description

Fastening device for individual decorative subject ".

  The invention relates to a device for

  for an individual decorative subject, attached to a garment, and more particularly to a fastening device for a decorative subject, consisting of a connecting element formed of a linear element, one end of which is fixed to the decorative subject, and an element propeller with one end

  pointed, destined to engage in the fabric of the garment-

is lying.

  Decorative subjects that can be

  fastening devices according to the invention comprise

  buttons, tags, insignia, medals, cufflinks, brooches, jewelery mounts and the like, which can removably attach to clothing for practical use and / or ornament purposes; .

  It is very important that these topics deco-

  They can be affixed to clothing by means of a fastening device, which is simple in structure and allows secure fastening without the risk of accidental detachment, while being easy and quick to maneuver manually.

  Furthermore, it is not desirable that the fixing device

  when attached to a garment, exceeds

  on the periphery of the decorative subject and appears

  is in danger of being reduced or destroyed

  the aesthetic aspect of the ornament; it is not desirable

  table or that ornament, when attached to the garment, is either so as to reveal its back side and / or the fastener, while the front side of the ornament, facing down, is hardly visible . It is also important that the decorative subject be able to be mounted slightly movable by the movements of the bust and the limbs of the person wearing it, thus giving a natural impression of the

way to wear the ornament.

  It has been proposed a fastener for attaching a decorative subject to a garment (Japanese Style Examination Publication No. 34 323/1972) or the like, constituted by a shaft in which a female thread is formed, this shaft being fixed vertically. on the back of a decorative subject, and by a basic element on which is

  This screw is, however,

  convenient to form an opening in the garment and

  not allow the ornament attached to the garment to swing

  when the person wearing it moves, which lacks elegance Moreover, when the screw is loosened,

  the decorative subject may become detached and lost.

  In addition, in the case where the latter bears a design, such as a portrait, for which the top is to be distinguished from below, the position of the subject must be adjusted in such a way that

  that the drawing he wears is always on the top.

  Another type of fastener or fastener has been proposed (Publication after Model Examination

  Japanese No 12 327/1972) consisting of a vertically

  on the back of a decorative subject, such as a

  tone, and part of a crooked or G-shaped hook, pointed at its end and starting from the end of the stem,

  parallel to the back of the decorative subject A decorative subject

  ornament with this fastener attached to the garment-

  by rotation of the object, so that the former

  pointed tremity of the fastener penetrates into the fabric of this

  However, the operation of

  alternatively the pointed end of the hook to be

  towards the outer and inner sides of the fabric of the garment, as well as the operation of clearing the fastener,

are complicated and boring.

  In particular, when the tortil-

  the fastener has a diameter of about 5 to 6 mm, the manual operation is no longer possible.

  passing the pointed hook portion through

  to the fabric, following an arc-shaped path, results in loops and deformations in the fabric, which may damage the garment and may not give the decorative subject an appearance fastener

  In addition, the ornament so attached is fixed if

  the garment that he can no longer swing, when the person wearing it, moves the trunk and / or limbs, which lacks elegance Finally, in the case where the decorative subject has a top that must stand out from below, you have to take great care to place the part of

  on the bottom part, which requires a certain

  some skill to properly mount the decorative subject.

  The object of the invention is to overcome the above disadvantages of the prior art by creating a

  attachment device for mounting a decorative subject

  tif on the fibrous tissue of a garment without damaging it

  fabric, and by a very easy manual operation,

  to pass the pointed end of an element

  helix through the fabric, and rotate a half

  this decorative subject, which can then be detached from the garment by a no less easy operation, consisting of turning it by a half-turn in the opposite direction and

pull off.

  The invention also aims to create a fastening device ornamental decorative subject, to ensure that the one, once mounted on a garment, does not come off accidentally under the effect of the movements of the person wearing it, unless

  that he was dropped intentionally.

  The decorative subject according to the invention must also be able to be mounted in the desired position on a

  clothing without it being possible to fix it in a

  position that the desired position, by a bad

manual rationing.

  The fastener according to the invention must still allow to mount the decorative subject on a garment so that the top portion comes on the bottom part, when it has a different top of the bottom. Another object of the invention is to create a fastening device for a decorative subject such as a jacket button, making it possible to fix this button to the two front panels of the jacket so that it can be removed completely, when do not wear the jacket or when it is given to clean In this way, the button and the jacket do not risk being damaged, except when wearing the jacket, one

  can use a decorative button of particular appearance-

beautifully.

  Finally, the fastening device according to the invention can be made in a form so small that it is possible to mount the decorative subjects in large numbers and in good order very close to each other, the diameter

  each of which may be of the order of 5 to 7 mm.

  For this purpose the invention relates to a

  positive attachment to a decorative subject such as a

  brooch, badge, medal, button or other,

  positive attachment characterized in that it is constituted

  by a thin linear element of metal or syn-

  theatrical, and includes a propeller-tipped element to its

  free end and a connecting element connecting the

  propeller on decorative subject, this element in a helix

  having an axis parallel to the rear side of the decorative subject

  and a step of 10 to 30 on about a turn to a quarter turn, the connecting member having a base end attached to the back of the decorative subject. The invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: the figure is a view, in perspective,

  rear part 14 of a decorative subject 12 This deco-

  Ratif 12, to which the fastening device according to the invention is attached, is a beautiful decorated button for practical use, mounting in easily removable manner.

  precious or in a beautifully colored synthetic resin.

  The fastening device 10 attached to the button 12 is obtained by curving a rod of hard metal or hard synthetic resin with a circular section of about

  0.5 to 1.5 mm The fastening device 10 comprises an element

  16 and a helical element 18 The element

  link 16 is constituted by a straight rod generally

? 546384

  7 is fixed perpendicularly to the back of the knob 12, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. In addition, in the case where the connecting element 16 is made of metal, its base end is generally fixed to the button 12 by welding, on the connecting element 16, a male thread, intended to be screwed into a female thread, formed in

  the back of the decorative subject In the case where the subject deco-

  Ratif is synthetic resin, the fastening device is also made of hard synthetic resin, so that we can stick the base end of it to decorative subject In the latter case, it is convenient to provide a hole in the back of the decorative subject, so that we can introduce the basic end of

  the connecting element 16 in this hole to obtain a col-

solid age.

  The connecting element 16 used to fix the button 12 or the decorative subject helical élém-nt 18

  penetrating the garment, must be of sufficient length

  that, as shown in Figure 4, after

  the helical element 18 has penetrated into the inner end

  front 20 of the garment body, the button 12 can pass through a button hole 24, to attach the two front ends 20, 22 of the body As a result, it is not necessary to vary the length of the element of

  16 depending on the type of garment on which

  For example, the link element 16 does not need to be relatively long for clothes,

  such as winter coats, while it may be

  short for thin clothing fabrics, such as

only summer dresses.

  From the end of the connecting element 16, part the helical element 18 obtained by curvature As indicated in FIG. 2, the helical element 18 has an axis 26 parallel to the button 12 and, as indicated in FIG. 3, crosses the axis 28 of the connecting element 16 This disposition of the helical element makes it possible to obtain a very secure attachment of the decorative subject, without any risk of it

  is accidentally detached from the garment by a small name-

  In the case of the first embodiment, a helix which rotates about 1 turn, and 1/6 to 1/4 turn, is sufficient. The turn of the helical element 18 is 100 to 300, so that the helical element 18 can pass through the pinched and folded portion of the fabric of the garment, without the need to tighten it too strongly to the risk of damaging it, this part of the garment between

  cover parts of the helical element, and the

  Manual attachment ration, do not require any special skill. A step exceeding 300 could lead to

  the helical element 18 comes out of the fabric of the garment.

  The helical element 18 has a pointed conical end 30 so as to pass through the fabric of the garment without damaging it. Although the diameter of the helix varies according to the size and / or the weight of the decorated button, this diameter may be the order of 3 to 8 mm and preferably about 4 mm A helical element 18 of too small diameter destroy the fibers of the fabric of the garment while a member 18 too large diameter damage the garment by rubbing against the clothes of below

  or against the front panel of the body of clothing.

  FIGS. 1 and 4 will now describe the operation of engaging in a garment the fastening device, according to the invention. For example, the part of

  the inner front end of a jacket, just beyond

  under a position in which the attachment device

  must be engaged, so as to form a vertical fold.

  Then, the button 12 of FIG. 1 is held between the fingers of the right hand by its peripheral portion turned to the left, and brought against the garment so that the helical arc portion opposite the connecting element 16 comes in contact with one side of the fabric part

  folded vertically Then we move horizontally

  in the portion of folded fabric, the pointed end located in the extreme lower position of the propeller element 18, then the knob 12 of 180 is rotated in the direction in which the pointed end 30 has penetrated, which thus makes it possible to mount the button 12 by means of the

  fastening device 10, as shown in FIG.

  The button 12 thus attached does not run on its own to release the engagement, because the arc portions of the propeller opposed to the connecting element 16, pass through the fabric of the garment In addition, the button can not turn face down,

  when the pointed end 30 engages the garment-

  In addition, the button thus mounted can swing during the movements of the wearer of the garment, in the same way as if it were sewn, which gives it the appearance

  of a button mounted naturally Also, when

  that the button 12 is passed through the buttonhole 24 of the front outer end 22 of the garment body,

  in exactly the same way as a sewn button, the

  your 12 takes its best position, so that its lower edge portion normally comes into contact with

  the fabric of the outer front end of the body of clothing-

  While in the position of the button 12, the pointed end 30, as shown in FIG. 4, is slightly spaced from the inner end.

  before the body of the garment, so that it does not

  mage not the garment underneath, while, as the former

  pointed end 30 is directed towards the outer front end 22 of the body of clothing, it is not at risk

  on the other hand to damage the outer front end 22.

  Moreover, if the ornament button 12 is molded smaller, it can be used as those

  provided at the ends of the jacket sleeves, or as

  sleeve t-shirts The tie according to the in-

  Obviously, this invention can be used for feminine decorative subjects, such as pins rather than buttons. In particular, in the case of women's clothing.

  in thin material, the fastening device, according to the invention

  tion, can be put in place by a simple operation if

  the pointed end is passed through the ends

  mited inside and outside front of the garment body,

that we superimpose at the same time.

  FIGS. 5 to 8 show a second embodiment of the invention formed in the same material as that of FIG. 1. The second embodiment of the invention or attachment device 34 consists of a connecting element 36 and in a helical element 38, fixed at its end The base end of the connecting element 36 is fixed at the rear of the wall

upper 42 of a pin 40.

  The purpose of this second form of

  to prevent the helical element from coming out of the garment, by fixing the helical element to the connecting element, so that the end of the garment

  base of the helical element slightly exceeds the

  The connecting element 36, which can be varied in size, so that it complies with the shape of the spindle 40, can be chosen by forming a stop 46 engaging the fabric of the garment. and fix

  easily to the pin at the points where the bro-

are sold.

  Pin 40 includes a peripheral wall

  48 from the edge of the upper wall 42 and provided with a flange 50 directed inwards so as to make the pin hollow to save the material used, such as for example a precious metal, and to make the lighter pin The outer surface of the pin

  is decorated with different colors and engravings for

to be more luxurious.

  The connecting element 36, fixed in the center of the

  side of the upper wall 42, has a long

  which makes it protrude slightly from the plane of the rim

  To securely connect the helical element to the bro-

  In most cases, the linkage element is preferably

  truncated cone with a base end of larger dia-

  In order to fix the connecting element 36 to the spindle 40, a hole is drilled in the rear side of the upper wall 42 in which the base end is introduced and fixed by welding or gluing, depending on whether the pin is

  metal or synthetic resin The connection between the

  propeller 38 and the connecting element 36 can

  force into a groove on the smallest end

  this of the connecting element 36, so that this groove

  receives the peripheral surface of the helical element.

  The helical element shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 as being attached to a flat spindle 40 ', by means of a short link member 36', is exactly the same as the element 38 shown in FIG. 5, as being attached to the connecting member 36 Referring to

  FIGS. 6 and 7, the helical element 38 is attached to an element

  Binding element 36 'so as to form a stop 46 on the base end side of the helical element 38, and so that the axis of the helical element can be parallel to the plane of the spindle 40 The helical element may consist of about 1 turn and 1/8 of a turn about 1 turn and 3/8 of a turn, starting from the junction 44. The helical element 38 shown here is formed of one turn and 3/8 of a turn, so as to be approximately one and a half turn starting from the base end.

  in a helix 38 has a pointed end 54.

  Step 9 of the helical element 38, is it

  that is to say the angle formed by a radial line 56 passing through the axis 52 and a line of pitch angle 58, may be of the order of 10 to 300 as indicated above The step a of the element The helical element, corresponding to the second embodiment shown here, is typically about 3 to 8 mm in diameter as previously described. The helical element 38 according to the second embodiment represented here

has a diameter of 4 mm.

  When the pin 40 'has a top

  and a bottom 62, as shown in FIG.

  that, for example, the brooch bears a portrait, a representative

  monument, etc., the helical element is mounted on the pin 40 'so that the axis 52 forms an angle equivalent to the pitch O with a line 64 passing through the

top 60 and-the bottom 62.

  To fix the fastening device, according to the invention, to the pin 40 ', the connecting element 36' can first be fixed to the pin 40 ', then

  then attach the helical element 38 to the connecting element

  36 'Generally, however, a connecting element whose length fits the shape of the pin 40', is attached to the helical element, before being fixed to the pin 40 'To fix the helical element 38 at the spindle 'via the connecting element 36', a suitably sized jumper rod 66 is introduced through the helical element 38 to hold it in place, and the base end of the element link 36 'fits

  in the center hole on the back side of the spindle,

  on a suitable working base Next, the connecting element 36 'is fixed to the spindle 40' by welding or gluing, so that the axis of the jumping rod 66

  an angle equal to the pitch O with respect to the high line

  This assembly process can be easily implemented in factories and even in

precious metals.

  The manner in which a person attaches the pin 40 ', provided with the fastening device 38, to the chest of the garment which he is wearing, will now be described in FIG. 9. The fingers of one hand begin to pinch part of the garment so as to form a

  vertical fold 68, after which the pointed end 54 of the disc

  positive attachment attached to pin 40 ', held between

  fingers of the other hand, is brought into contact with the

  on one side of the fold

  the pointed end 54 in the fold 68, while maintaining the outer arc portion of the element

  helix, that is to say the furthest part of the

  connection, in contact with the same side of the fold 68.

  The spindle 40 'of 1800 is then rotated in the direction in which the pointed end 54 has been stitched, or in the direction indicated by the arrow 69, which ends the assembly operation of the spindle 40' on

  In this way, the helical element 38 fixes the broach

  to dress in such a way that both

  sections 72, 74 of the helix arc with a parallel line 70

  spindle at 40 'and passing through the center O as

  in FIG. 7, come into contact with two horizontally aligned points on the respective sides of the vertical fold formed in the fabric of the garment, so that the pin 40 'is mounted on the garment with the top coming on the bottom and with the drawing of the

pin properly placed.

  Fastening devices according to the invention

  the above characteristics, are

  readable with different connection elements of different

  different diameters and lengths that can be selected according to the shapes of the pins to find the connecting element best suited for securing securely

  the spindle element at the spindle where the bro-

  In addition, as the spindle is mounted

  on the garment so that its pointed end gets

  in the fabric of the garment at a point lower than the intersections 72, 74, as shown in FIG. 8, the spindle will not rotate on its own and detach itself, or turn its face towards the In addition, the abutment 46 which is placed, as shown in FIG. 8, above the garment engaging points 72, 74, serves to prevent the element from falling off. the propeller to turn itself, in a direction tending to detach it, when the end of the abutment 46 engages against the fabric of the garment Thus, the

  brooch can not detach itself from the garment.

  The fastening device of the garment can be easily detached by rotating the element

  propeller in the opposite direction to that corresponding to

  the spit on the garment, this spindle being

  inclined to maintain the stop 46 out of

  In addition, the stop 46 serves to prevent

  the pin to swing to the point of turning upwards under the effect of the movements of the user, when the stop 46 comes into contact with the fabric of the

  garment, which gives the brooch a stable position.
