Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a button-type latch used for clothes, bags, and the like, and more particularly, to a button-type latch that can be easily detached by a person who has difficulty in finger movement.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, buttons that connect or separate both front bodies by attaching to one of the left and right front bodies of clothing and inserting through the other button hole are made of a hard material such as synthetic resin, metal, wood, or a combination thereof. It is a matter of daily routine that it is removed from the button hole by passing it in an oblique or right angle with respect to the button hole.
[0003]
Such button detachment can be performed simply by operating the fingertip of one hand, using the fact that the clothes are made of a flexible cloth or synthetic leather. However, the procedure of aligning the position of the button and the button hole and making the button into a posture that allows the button to be inserted, and subsequent insertion without changing the position and posture almost completely reduce the movement of the finger. It is extremely troublesome for people who have difficulty in finger movement due to illness, accidents or their sequelae, especially when it is difficult to put the first button on after putting the left and right front bodies together It is.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problem that it is very easy for a healthy person to detach and release a button, but it is troublesome and difficult for a person who has difficulty in finger movement. A handicapped person can pass through the button hole very easily and easily, and in addition, even if the button and button hole are not limited to flexible materials such as cloth, they can be removed The object is to provide a possible button-type latch.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problem that the present invention has a button attached to one of two parts to be connected and separated from each other and a button hole provided in the other part, the button has flexibility. In addition, it is fastened to one part by a string, and the string has a loop protruding from the surface side of the button.
[0006]
When hooking a button, the loop is inserted through the button hole and pulled to deform the button and pass through the button hole. Further, when the button is removed, by pulling the portion provided with the button hole, the button is deformed to the opposite side to pass through the button hole, and then the loop passes through the button hole. At this time, the buttonhole can be easily passed by pressing one or both parts from the top by hand. And pulling the part provided with the loop or button hole, and pressing one or both parts does not require the finger's elaborate movement, so even those who have difficulty in finger movement can easily and easily remove it. The purpose of is achieved.
[0007]
Also, because the loop is a string, there is no danger of it being bitter and painful even if you pull your finger and pull it, and make sure that it does not move greatly by creating a detent on both sides of the button. Thus, the button hole can be surely passed. Furthermore, since the button can be freely deformed to pass through the button hole, it can be detached even if the button or button hole is provided in a hard part.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to clothes latches will be described with reference to the drawings. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a button 1 is attached to one front body A of a garment, and the other front body B is attached. The button hole 11 is provided in the. The button 1 is a flexible material made of an oval or oval flat plate, and has two through holes 2 in the center.
[0009]
The thigh 4 that attaches the button 1 to the front body A is soft and flexible, and has a thickness that does not cause pain by biting the finger and pulling it strongly. Then, the string 4 is folded in half and a knot ball 5 is formed at a place appropriately separated from the folding part of the two parts extending from the string 4, and further the part extending from the string 4 is inserted into the through-hole 2 from the front side. The knotted ball 6 is made again in the above manner so that the button 1 is held between the two knotted balls 5 and 6 so as not to be displaced, and the portion extending from the knotted ball 6 on the back side is pierced into the front body A, and the power cloth 8 The button 1 is attached to the front body A by putting them on the back of the front body A and sewing them together. The two-folded portion extending from the knot ball 5 on the front side forms a loop 7.
[0010]
When the button 1 of this embodiment is hung, the loop 7 is first inserted through the button hole 11 as shown in FIG. Next, when the finger is hooked on the loop 7 or is picked and pulled and the front body B is pressed against the front body A, the knot ball 5 passes through the button hole 11 as shown in FIG. When the button 1 is pushed and expanded, the button 1 is curved and deformed to the back side, and when fully penetrated, it is restored to its original shape and overlaps the front side of the front body B as shown in FIG. At this time, A and B are overlapped and connected. Since the loop 7 protruding forward is soft and flexible, there is no danger, and depending on its structure and color, it provides a decorative effect.
[0011]
When the button 1 is removed, the front body B on the button hole 11 side is pulled away from the front body A on the button 1 side, and if necessary, the front body A is pulled so as not to be pulled. As shown in FIG. 4 (A), the button 1 is curved and deformed to the front side while expanding the button hole 11, and when it is completely passed through, the original shape is restored as shown in FIG. 7 is inserted into the button hole 11. When the front body B is further pulled, the loop 7 comes out of the button hole 11 and the two front bodies A and B are completely separated.
[0012]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the button 1 made of a flexible material is deformed and is removed by passing through the button hole. Therefore, the portion provided with the button hole 11 is made of a hard material. It is also possible to detach and attach the two parts provided with the button 1 and the button hole 11 made of a hard material. In this case, since the buttonhole 11 cannot be expanded, it is necessary to make the width slightly larger than the maximum diameter of the knots 5 and 6.
[0013]
The button 1 can be made of a flexible material such as leather, soft synthetic resin, or a fine foam of synthetic resin, and has a desired shape and size. However, the flexible material has elasticity and elasticity like a soft synthetic resin foam. The button hole 11 can be easily pulled through, making it easy to detach, and the button hole 11 can be pulled through without strict dimensional relation with the button hole 11. There is an advantage that the formation of the hole 11 is easy.
[0014]
Thick 4 is a twill cord made of natural or man-made fiber, braided cord, cotton rope, etc., which has a thickness that does not bite into the finger and cause pain when it is pulled tightly. It is preferable to use a twill weave cord that is capable of making strong knots 5 and 6 that are compressible and do not have to worry about loosening. In addition, the ribbon 4 may be a tape-like one such as a ribbon. In that case, a plurality of strings are bundled to have a high strength, or the loop 7 is covered with a cloth, felt, or the like. Can be made good.
[0015]
In addition, the slip stopper that eliminates the movement of the button 1 is not limited to the knots 5 and 6, but the two parts of the button 1 inserted through the two through-holes 2 of the string 4 are sewn on both sides. It may be formed at different sewing locations. In this case, the string 4 is inserted into the two through holes 2, but in the case of the knots 5 and 6, the two portions of the string 4 can be inserted into one through hole.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention in which a button is made of a flexible material and attached to clothes etc. with a string, and the loop is provided on the string, the button or the button or the part provided with the button hole can be pressed. The button can be passed through the button hole without the need for a finger-tight operation by simply pulling the hole-provided part, and even a person with limited finger movement can easily and easily remove the button. Is something that can be done.
