Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a button attached to a fabric without using a sewing thread and a button capable of changing a surface pattern.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, changing a button has meant replacing the entire button. To do this, the old button was removed with the old sewing thread and the new button was attached with a new sewing thread.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above method, the operation of replacing a part or the whole of the button main body cannot be performed when there is no needle or sewing thread nearby, and many people are not good at such a sewing operation itself.
[0004]
A first object of the present invention is to provide a button that can be easily attached by anyone without using a needle or a thread. A second object is to provide a button that can change all or only the surface pattern.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The button of the present invention is characterized in that the button body is hollowed out in the up-down direction, and is fixed from above and below with a fixing bracket using the formed cylinder.
[0006]
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The button body usually has a texture portion, a receiving portion, and a leg portion. They may be separately molded parts, or may be integrally molded at arbitrary parts. When the button body is formed of a separable surface pattern portion and a main portion, it is preferable that the surface pattern portion alone can be replaced.
[0007]
The “pattern” in the surface pattern portion includes a pattern, a character, a picture, a color, and a shape of itself.
[0008]
The upper and lower fixing brackets penetrate the button body in the up and down direction to fix them. The fixing method is preferably a combination of one male screw and the other female screw, but may be another method, for example, a combination of permanent magnets. When plastic is used for at least one of the upper and lower fixing brackets, a snap fit can be made by utilizing the elasticity of the plastic.
[0009]
When one male screw and the other female screw are combined, a minus (-)-shaped groove or a plus (+)-shaped groove for receiving the head of the screw rotating driver is preferably provided on either surface of the upper and lower fixing brackets. . Usually, it will be provided on the surface of the lower fixture which is not visible from the outside. The groove is preferably a wide minus (-)-shaped groove into which the edge of the coin can be inserted so that the fixing bracket can be rotated without a driver.
[0010]
It is preferable to provide a non-slip such as fine irregularities in a portion of the button body or the upper and lower fixing brackets that comes into contact with the cloth.
[0011]
【Example】
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a button according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view, and FIG. 3 is a developed view.
[0012]
This button 1 has a button body composed of a surface pattern portion 2 and a main portion 3 fixed by upper and lower fixing brackets 4 and 5. The main body 3 and the lower fixtures 4 and 5 are sandwiched and attached to the cloth 6.
[0013]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the surface pattern portion 2 is a thin metal disk having a hole 21 in the center, and the end portions 22 and 23 are erected. Shape.
[0014]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the main part 3 is integrally formed with a dish-shaped receiving part 31 and a relatively long leg part 32. The receiving portion 31 has a thicker central portion 33 and is hollowed out at a central portion connected to the leg portion 32 to form a cylinder 34.
[0015]
The upper and lower fixing brackets 4 and 5 are attached using the hole 21 of the surface pattern portion 2 and the cylinder 34 of the main portion 3.
[0016]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the upper fixture 4 is formed by integrally covering a cylinder 42 having an internally threaded portion (female screw 41) with a disk-shaped upper lid 43. The diameter of the upper lid 43 is a surface pattern portion. Is larger than the diameter of the hole 21.
[0017]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the lower fixing bracket 5 is configured such that a disk-shaped lower lid 53 is integrally attached to a metal rod 52 having a threaded end (male screw 51) only on the tip. Is provided with a minus (-)-shaped groove 54 or a plus (+)-shaped groove for receiving the head of the screw rotating driver. When the button is relatively large, the groove is preferably a wide minus (-)-shaped groove 54 into which the edge of the coin can be inserted so that the lower fixing bracket can be rotated without a driver. As shown in FIG. 3, the cloth contact portion of the lower lid 53 is provided with a non-slip 55 made of fine irregularities to prevent the button from being accidentally rotated with respect to the cloth 6. The non-slip is also preferably provided on the bottom surface of the leg 32 (not shown).
[0018]
To assemble each part, the cylinder 42 of the upper fixture is inserted into the hole 21 of the surface pattern portion 2, and the surface pattern portion 2 is placed on the main portion 3 in this state. Finally, the male screw 51 of the lower fixing bracket is firmly inserted into the female screw 41 of the cylinder of the upper fixing bracket using a screwdriver or a coin with the cloth 6 interposed therebetween.
[0019]
As is clear from the above description, the button of the present invention is not sewn to the fabric with a thread, and can be fixed to the fabric with a vertical fixing bracket using a screwdriver or a coin. Thus, the button can be attached to the fabric without sewing threads or needles.
[0020]
Furthermore, if the upper and lower fixing brackets are disengaged by using a screwdriver or a coin, each part is disassembled into the state shown in FIG. is there.
[0021]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention is a button characterized in that the button body is fixed from above and below by a fixing bracket, and thus has the following effects.
(1) It can be attached to the fabric without using sewing thread.
(2) Only the surface pattern portion can be changed while keeping the button body as it is. (3) It is easy to change the entire button body.
