[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a button cover.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the past, there was no concept of attaching things to buttons on clothes. In other words, I didn't wear ornaments on the buttons or use buttons to wear small items.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 There was the following inconvenience because I did not attach ornaments to the buttons. First, in order to change the atmosphere of clothes by changing the buttons, it was necessary to remove the sewn button and sew a different button. But that is tedious. Secondly, materials that are not usually washable are not used for buttons. This is because the button must be removed each time you wash. In other words, the materials used for buttons are limited. Therefore, it was not possible to freely enjoy fashion in the relationship between clothes and buttons, and bold design was difficult.

Next, since the buttons were not used to wear small items, there were the following inconveniences. First of all, when wearing small items such as wireless microphones, many of them are tie-pin type, but their appearance makes me feel that I am wearing a microphone. In other words, I couldn't attach the microphone in a natural way. Second, accessories such as broaches were often attached to clothes with safety pins. However, using a safety pin will open a hole in your clothes. It could not be attached to leather products. Third, when attaching a toy such as a color timer to the chest, it was not possible to attach it directly to the clothes that were already worn, and a toy attachment belt and a necklace were needed.

The present invention has been made to solve such inconvenience. In other words, a) you can easily change the appearance of the buttons and change the atmosphere of the clothes, b) you can freely enjoy fashion in the relationship between the clothes and the buttons, and you can have a bold design, and c It is intended to provide a button cover that can be attached in any shape, can be attached with ornaments without making d holes, and can be attached to e toys without a belt or string.

【Example】

 Example 1 FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing this example in a fixed state, and FIG. 2 is a bottom view showing this example. (The side in contact with the button is the bottom. The same applies to the following.) The cover portion 11 is composed of the outer wall 12 and the cushion portion 13, and the scissors stopper portion 14 extends from the cover portion. The scissors stopper portion 14 and the cushion material 13 in contact with the button form a fixing opening means. When the button 16 is inserted from between 15a and 15b, as shown in FIG. 3, the end 16b of the button 16 hits the cushion portion 13, the cushion portion 13 is pushed in, and 16a enters into the scissor stop portion 14. Is possible. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, when the entire button 16 enters the scissors stopper portion 14, the cushion material 13 pushes back, so the button 16 is sandwiched between the cushion portion 13 and the scissors stopper portion 14, and the button 16 is It is fixed to this embodiment.

This embodiment is suitable for a gold button-like button cover to be put on a plastic button on the abdomen or sleeve of a suit. By attaching such a button cover to the button, a normal navy blue blazer also becomes an ivy style blazer.

Embodiment 2 FIG. 4 is a bottom view showing this embodiment. The present embodiment includes a cover portion 21, a side stop portion 24 extending therefrom, and rubber cords 26a, 26b, 26c. The elastic cord 26a is stretched, the button is inserted from the insertion portion 29 between 26b and 26c, and the thread that is the root of the button is pushed until it reaches the intersection of 26b and 26c. Then, by returning the elastic cord 26a to the original position, this embodiment can be fixed to the button. When removing it, it can be easily removed by extending 26a.

As described above, when the elastic cord is used as the fixing / releasing means, three elastic cords are desirable. Further, the diameter of the opening of the side stop portion 24 is preferably 80% or more of the entire button cover. Since rubber is used, the relative position of the button and button cover is easy to move. Therefore, if the diameter of the opening is less than 80% of the entire button cover, the button will crawl inside. As an application form of this embodiment, an embodiment having slits 25a and 25b can be considered. This slit allows a button with a diameter larger than the diameter of the opening to be inserted, allowing the button cover to fit the button better. However, it has the disadvantage of being difficult to remove.

This embodiment is easy to install and remove, and the applicable buttons are not limited in terms other than size. This point is different from Embodiments 4, 5, 6, and 7. Therefore, it is useful as a button cover structure as an ornament, but also as a button cover structure having a microphone function, a light emitting function, and other electrical or mechanical functions.

Third Embodiment FIG. 5 is a bottom view showing the present embodiment. In this embodiment, the cover portion 31, the lateral stop portion 34 extending therefrom, the pins 36a and 36b, the slits 35a and 35b formed in the lateral stop portion 34, and the fulcrum portion 37 that supports the pins 36a and 36b in a rotatable manner. Become. When the pins 36a and 36b are removed through the slits 35a and 35b, the result is as shown in FIG. Insert the pin between the button and the cloth, cover the button with the cover, and insert the pins 36a and 36b into the slits 35a and 35b, respectively, and the button cover is fixed to the button. Although the cover portion of this embodiment is a disc type, it may be a flat type column, or may be a shape that covers an elliptic column, a polygonal column, and other buttons.

Fourth Embodiment FIG. 7 is a sectional view showing the present embodiment. In this embodiment, the cover portion 41, the lateral stop portion 44 extending from the cover portion, and the screw 48 are provided. A female screw 49 is formed on the button 46 so that the button 46 can be combined with the screw 48 of the button cover. The button cover of this embodiment has an advantage in that it is unlikely to be lost, because it does not fall unless the button falls. Therefore, it is suitable for expensive materials such as precious metals and jewels. Also, it can be easily attached to and removed from the button. However, since the button must have an internal thread, it cannot be attached to any button. As in the case of this embodiment, the fixing and releasing means of the button cover with the dish turned upside down may be not only a screw but also a magnetic force. That is, the fixing opening means can be configured by forming the button with a magnet and forming the button cover with a metal such as iron.

Fifth Embodiment FIG. 8 is a sectional view showing the present embodiment. In this embodiment, the cover portion 51 and the convex portion 58 are provided. A recess 59 is formed in the button 56. The convex portion 58 of the button cover and the concave portion 59 of the button are formed to be elastically fittable. The button cover of this embodiment is characterized in that it can be removed with one touch. Therefore, when the button cover of this embodiment is attached to the button on the cuff of the shirt, the button cover can be used as a marker when playing golf. However, since the button must have a recess, it cannot be attached to any button. It is necessary to use it as a set with a button that has a concave portion that can be fitted into the convex portion of the button cover.

Sixth Embodiment FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a button corresponding to the button cover of the present embodiment and the present embodiment. This embodiment comprises a cover portion 61, a lateral stop portion 64 extending from the cover portion, and leg portions 67a, 67b, 67c connected to the lower surface of the cover portion. A hole 68 is formed in the corresponding button, and a thread 69 passes through the hole to connect the button to the cloth. The button has leg insertion slits 65a, 65b, 65c similar to the L-shape. This embodiment is fixed to the button by covering the button with the present embodiment and inserting the leg portions 67a, 67b, 67c into the leg insertion slits 65a, 65b, 65c, respectively, and rotating them by about 60 degrees.

In the present embodiment, it is desirable that the cover portion, the lateral stop portion, and the leg portion have an integrated structure in order to prevent damage to the leg portion. Therefore, it is preferable that the whole is integrally formed of plastic or the like. The button corresponding to this embodiment is a special button as in the case of the fourth and fifth embodiments, but this embodiment and the set of buttons corresponding to this embodiment can be manufactured at low cost, are hard to fall, and yet. It is characterized in that it can be easily installed and removed. Therefore, this example is particularly excellent as a decorative article for changing the appearance of the button. There, you can attach a button corresponding to this embodiment to a suit, etc., and prepare a standard button cover and several types of optional button covers, so you can enjoy your own style. In this case, it is desirable that the button hole be configured so that the button can be hung or removed with the button cover attached, according to the size when the button cover is attached.

Seventh Embodiment FIG. 10 is a sectional view showing the present embodiment. The present embodiment has a cover portion 71, a pedestal portion 74 formed below the cover portion 71, and an insertion leg portion 77 protruding from the bottom of the pedestal portion. A push button 78 is inserted into the side surface of the pedestal portion 74. The push button 78 is connected to the insert leg 77. The push button 78 and the insert leg portion 77 are always acted on by the spring 76 fixed to the stopper 79 so as to be pushed outward in the radial direction. The button usually has two to four holes formed in it, through which the thread that sewes the button is sewn. In this embodiment, a method of inserting and fixing the insertion leg portion into the hole is adopted. That is, the push button 78 is pushed and adjusted so that the hole of the button and the insertion leg portion 77 are aligned, the insertion leg portion 77 is inserted into the hole, and the push button is released, the button cover of this embodiment is fixed to the button. It

In this embodiment, it is desirable that the insertion leg portion / push-in button has two sets. In the case of 3 sets and 4 sets, there is an advantage that it is hard to come off and it is not lost, but there is a disadvantage that the installation operation is troublesome and it cannot be installed with one hand. In the case of two sets, it can be attached to an ordinary button with one touch with one hand, and while it is easy to remove, it has the drawback of being easy to drop. Therefore, this embodiment is suitable for mounting for a short period of time. For example, when you are enjoying karaoke, you may want to attach a button cover with red, blue, yellow, etc. illumination to the buttons on your cuffs or chest.

Embodiment 8 FIG. 11 is a sectional view showing this embodiment. In this embodiment, the cover portion 81 and the wrapping portion 84 are formed. In this embodiment, the cover portion 81 and the wrapping portion 84 are made of rubber, and the button 86 is mounted by extending the wrapping portion 84 and inserting the button.

In the wrapping type button cover as in the present embodiment, the material may be stretchable and contractible, so that not only rubber but also animal or plant skin may be used. For example, it may be tanned cowhide, worm skin, or woven palm tree skin.

The feature of this embodiment is that the button can be inserted into the button hole with the button cover attached. Therefore, when attaching to buttons on the front (belly to throat) of blouses, cutter shirts, coats, blouson, etc., it is not necessary to wear them after wearing clothes and remove them before taking off clothes. . In other words, you can replace the button cover if you like, but you can leave it on until you take it out for washing. In this respect, in Embodiments 1 to 7, the size of the button is inevitably larger than that of the original button when it is mounted, and it is difficult to insert the button into the button hole. Therefore, Examples 1 to 7 were suitable only for buttons that are not worn or few, that is, buttons for decorating the sleeve of a suit and buttons for the belly. Of course, even in the case of Embodiments 1 to 7, when the button cover is formed thin, or when the button hole is formed large so that the button cover will be attached, There is no limitation as described above.

Ninth Embodiment FIG. 12 is a plan view showing this embodiment. In this embodiment, the cover portion 91 and the bent portion 97 are formed, and when viewed as a whole, it is a single flower-shaped aluminum plate. In this embodiment, the cover portion 91 can be fixed to the button by aligning it with the button and bending the bent portion 97. In this embodiment, it is not planned to attach and detach many times. In that sense, it is suitable for a disposable button cover. The structure is simple and can be manufactured at low cost. That is, as shown in FIG. 12, it is completed by penetrating a single aluminum plate 99 and removing the cut-off portion 95 while leaving the connection portion 98.

As described above, because of the simple structure, as shown in FIG. 13, one set of button covers (four large, six medium, and eight small) of the present embodiment is mounted on an aluminum plate of B5 size. It is also possible to form individual pieces). If the connection part 98 is torn off, each fire cover can be used. Such a button cover incorporated in a single aluminum plate has an advantage that it can be easily purchased not only in price but also in mood. In other words, depending on the mood of a toy, it may be tempting to buy. Also, since the button cover used for a set of clothes is one set, you can easily coordinate the button cover according to your taste. The same configuration is not limited to an aluminum plate, but can be any flexible metal. Alternatively, a synthetic resin or the like may be used. In particular, thermosetting resins, thermoplastic resins, and even shape memory resins are useful in that they can be easily attached using a dryer and without forming cracks.

In the first, second, third and ninth embodiments, it is possible to print on the cover portion. Therefore, by printing / printing a pattern, it is possible to create a design that could not be considered with conventional buttons. For example, there are button covers with floral prints, button covers with photos of yourself or the face of a person, button covers with prints of masterpieces, button covers with illustrations of animals and insects. By attaching such a button cover to the button, it is possible to coordinate freely. Especially, in the set of button covers of the ninth embodiment, the coordination of the free idea can be easily achieved. For example, choose a set with beetles, stag beetles, ladybirds, etc. printed on each button cover and attach it to the buttons of a green grass suit.
