Description

  The present invention relates to a button, and more particularly to a type of button that is attached to a fabric using a button attachment member.

  As one type of button, one that is attached to the front side of the fabric by applying a button mounting member from the back side of the fabric is well known. The button mounting member has a base and a button engaging portion such as one or a plurality of pins and posts protruding from the base, and the button is engaged with a button engaging portion penetrating the cloth (for example, plastic deformation). And fixed to the dough.

  When a button as described above is attached to the fabric, the button slides on the fabric and rotates (self-rotates) around the post of the button attachment member, for example, the fabric hole through which the post or the like passes is enlarged. There is a case. In addition, when the fabric is relatively thin, the force for connecting the button and the button mounting member to each other with the fabric interposed therebetween is insufficient, and there is a possibility that a mounting failure may occur. As a technique for preventing these problems, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-20713 and Registered Utility Model No. 3037755 disclose that a sheet-like packing is interposed between a cloth and a button and / or a button mounting member when the button is mounted. Therefore, it has been proposed to prevent the rotation of the button or to compensate for the insufficient fabric thickness. However, adding such a packing separately at the time of attaching the button has a problem that the burden on the operator increases and the work efficiency decreases.

  Further, when a large number of manufactured metal buttons are accommodated in a small box or the like and transported, the buttons may be rubbed and scratched, and such scratches reduce the commercial value of the buttons.
