[Detailed description of the invention] Slip-on decorative button The present invention is a slip-fit decorative button, especially for sewn cufflinks. It has an insertion slit that can be slipped under the sewn button. It consists of a cover hinged to the base, and the cover is held in place by a spring. Relating to a type that is held in a closed or open position.

A decorative button of this type is known from US-PS 3,316,601. This publicly known For decorative buttons, there is an array of plates that can be slid under the sewn buttons. The cover is constructed as a relatively thin plate member. sewn cufflinks To hinge the cover to a plate that can be slid under the button, The thin plate piece is bent upward at right angles on the side of the plate, and the cover is is pivotably supported on this sheet metal piece via a riveted spring-elastic sheet metal member. It is. This known decorative button has only a small load potential and can cause unintended It has the disadvantage that it sometimes opens easily.

The object of the present invention is to securely close with easy handling and to open easily. The objective is to find a decorative button that can withstand heavy loads.

According to the invention, the plate and cover are cast, forged or pre-molded from metal. molded parts manufactured by thick-walled support bases are integrally formed with spaced apart from each other, and A thick bearing eye that fits into the above-mentioned bearing base with almost no play is integrally formed on the shaped product. and the bearing eye has two locking surfaces arranged substantially at right angles to each other. , the locking surface cooperates with the leaf spring, and the leaf spring each time molds the other. This problem is solved by being fixed between the support bases of the members.

The construction according to the invention provides the decorative button with high stability and strength. for that The springs that hold the cover in the open and closed positions can also be constructed to be relatively strong. can.

In the closed state, the outer edges of the plate and cover are aligned and positioned vertically, and The free surface of the pedestal is flush with the underside of the plate so that it is a sliding fit and closed. The decorative button has no protrusions or active surfaces that could cause an accidental release.

Other features of the invention are as described in detail with respect to the illustrated decorative button embodiment. Derived from the explanation below.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a decorative button according to the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a line I-I I of Fig. 1. 3 is a sectional view of another embodiment, corresponding to FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment. A sectional view corresponding to Fig. 2 with the bar open, Fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the decorative button. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a cover having another configuration.

The decorative button according to FIG. 1 consists of a sewn button with an insertion slit 1. A plate 2 which can be slid downwards and a cover 3 hinged thereto. The cover is placed in the closed position according to FIG. 2 or in the closed position according to FIG. 4 by means of a leaf spring 4. is held in the open position by the Plate 2 and cover 3 are cast and forged from metal. Or it is a molded product manufactured by pressing. These materials are silver, gold, these Can be made from metal alloys, but also made from copper, steel alloys, and tonbak Then, the entire film may be covered. The outer edges of plate 2 and cover 3 when closed 16 and 17 are arranged vertically. Support stands 5, 6 and the plate between them The spring 4 is arranged in the cover 3, while the plate 2 has a bearing eye 8 integrally formed therein. Therefore, the support eye is fitted between the support bases 5 and 6 with almost no play. Support stand 5゜6 The mutually contacting surfaces 20.21 of the and bearing eyes 8 are polished so that the plate 2 and the cover 3, which is hinged thereto, are reliably guided towards each other. According to Figure 5 In the embodiment, the leaf spring 4 is integrally formed with the cover 3, and furthermore, from both sides of the leaf spring 4, The plate is fixed by means of tongues 12 which are swaged or pressed onto the springs 4. There is.

As shown in FIG. 6, the leaf spring 4 may have a cutout (in the cover 3). An integrally formed pin 13 penetrates and engages the notch, and the leaf spring 4 is covered by the pin. -3 is riveted.

As shown in particular in FIG. 5, the slit 1 extends parallel to the axis 7 and is Therefore, you can easily sew decorative buttons using plate 2 with cover 3 open. Can be slipped under cufflinks.

When closing, the free end of the leaf spring 4 slides over the dead center, in which case the leaf spring is in the spring chamber 1. 1 and presses the locking surface 9, thus holding the cover 3 in the closed position. . In the open position according to FIG. 4, the free end of the leaf spring 4 presses against the locking surface 10 and thus to hold the cover 3 in the open position.

The illustrated decorative button has an egg-shaped bottom surface.

However, the bottom of the decorative button may be circular or square. In the rectangular embodiment, of course -ner must be noticeably rounded.

The end of the plate 2 on the opposite side from the axis 7 has a protrusion of 0.5 to 1 inch with respect to the outer shell of the cover 2. The protruding grip projections 14 may be integrally formed, and the cufflinks may be sewn on. The decorative button can be opened using the grip projection without putting any load on the button.

As shown in FIG. 3, the engagement notch 15 is protruded. Set in place of protrusion 14 The engagement notch may be formed on the upper surface of the plate 2 and may be formed on the outer surface of the cover 3. I'm also drawn in.
