Description

Female snap button {Female type snap button}

The present invention relates to a female snap button, and more particularly, it can prevent an unpleasant noise that may be caused by movement of a retaining ring in a female snap button in a state of engagement with a male snap button, And more particularly to a female snap button that can provide a firm and stable bond between snap buttons.

A snap button, also commonly referred to as a "snap button" or "snap button," is provided at a position opposite each other on an opening to open or close an opening formed in a product such as a garment, bag, or shoe, Are formed so as to be fitted to each other.

1 is an exploded perspective view of a conventional snap button. 1, a conventional snap button has a cuff 10a and a male button 10b which can be engaged with and detached from each other, and a snap 20a for fixing each of the cuff 10a and the male button 10b to the fabric And the snap holes 20a and 20b are formed with engagement holes 12a and 12b at the center of the male and female buttons 10a and 10b. 12a, 12b, respectively. At this time, a locking ring 30 for preventing the male button 10b from being detached comes into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the fixing protrusion formed on the male button 10b inside the arbor 10a.

The process of attaching such a conventional snap button to a garment, a bag, a shoe, etc. will be described. First, marking positions where the hair clipper 10a and the male button 10b are to be fixed to the fabric of clothes, bag, shoes, Holes 22a and 22b of the snaps 20a and 20b are inserted into the holes 20a and 20b respectively by punching holes at the marking positions, The engaging holes 12a and 12b of the male and female buttons 10a and 10b are aligned with each other and then engaged with the engaging holes 12a and 12b of the snap rings 20a and 20b protruded above the engaging holes 12a and 12b, The male and female buttons 22a and 22b are hammered by a punch or the like to expand and tightly fasten the engaging rods 22a and 22b so that the male and female buttons 10a and the male buttons 10b are respectively fixed to the distal ends.

Therefore, when the male and female buttons 10b are engaged with each other, the fixing protrusion of the male button 10b is positioned to coincide with the engaging hole 12a formed in the female terminal 10a. Then, when the male button 10b is pressed toward the female terminal 10a, The fixing ring 30 embedded in the cord 10a is inserted into the hole 12a and is pulled by the end of the fixing protrusion. After that, the fixing ring 30 is pressed to the outer circumferential portion of the fixing protrusion and tightly contacts the outer circumferential surface of the fixing protrusion while being compressed. 10a and the male button 10b are integrally coupled. Further, when the snap button is detached, the fixing projections are detached from the fixing ring 30 and separated by pulling the fabric having the hair clipper 10a fixed thereto. At this time, even if the arbor (10a) and the male button (10b) are installed reversely to each other, the same operation as that of the snap button is applied.

However, in the case of the conventional snap-lock cord 10a, even when the male button 10b and the cord 10c are engaged with each other, the fixing ring 30 moves finely in the empty space inside the cord 10a, There is a problem that an unpleasant noise occurs in which small metals collide with each other.

As the fixing ring 30 repeatedly engages and disengages the male button 10b and the male cord 10a, the tension and compression are repetitively repeated so that the coupling force between the male button 10b and the female cord 10a is lowered And deteriorates the quality of the ring snap button as a whole.

Referring to these drawings, a female snap button 100 according to the present invention is a polygonal ring made of an elastic material, and includes a fixing ring 110 including a bent portion 111 having a straight line bent at a predetermined angle, A main body 120 having a ring 110 in a ring receiving portion on the inner circumferential surface thereof and having an inner snap insertion hole 122 formed at the center of the ring receiving portion, An inner snap 130 formed with a first coupling rod 131 to which the second coupling rod 141 is inserted and a second coupling rod fitted into the first coupling rod 131 of the inner snap 130 are formed And an outer snap (140) forming an outer surface of the body.

That is, the female snap button 100 according to the present invention is a polygonal ring made of a resilient material, and is formed with a fixing ring 110 including a bent portion 111 having a straight line bent at a predetermined angle, The bending portions 111 serve as a fixing jaw between the stationary ring 110 and the inner surface of the ring receiving portion in a state where the ring 110 is disposed in the ring receiving portion of the female snap button 100, There is little movement or movement compared with the ring, and even when a slight impact with the inner circumferential surface of the ring receiving portion due to external movement or force is generated, the small impact of the metal which can be uncomfortably heard to the user due to the elasticity of the ring itself The noise generated by the noise can be blocked at the source.

In addition, even when the male snap button 200 and the female snap button 100 are engaged with each other, the polygonal retaining ring 110 made of a resilient material is more firmly fixed to the fixing protrusion 261 of the male snap button 200 So that the state of engagement between the male snap button 200 and the female snap button 100 is further strengthened.

Further, even in a state where the male snap button 200 and the female snap button 100 are coupled to each other, the stationary ring 110 itself is made of a resilient material, so that noise that may be caused by a slight impact with the inner circumferential surface of the ring- It is possible to provide a comfortable and stable feeling to the user.

In addition, the female snap button 100 uses a fixing ring 110 made of an elastic material. For example, when the metal snap ring 100 is attached to clothing such as light weight woven & knit garment, When the fixing ring 110 made of the elastic material is made of a polymer resin or the like, it is possible to use a polymer resin such as Red, Green, Blue or the like The user can create a variety of visual and fashionable effects in a state where the female snap button 100 is not locked.

The shape of the stationary ring 110 is not particularly limited as long as the shape of the stationary ring 110 is a structure including a bent portion in which a straight line is bent at a predetermined angle, and is preferably a regular hexagon, a regular octagon, And a polygonal ring of a shape selected from the group.

When the shape of the fixing ring 110 is an odd square such as a triangle, a pentagon or a hexagon, the coupling strength of the male snap button 200 with the fixing protrusion 261 may be deteriorated, Partial and nonuniform concentration of force may occur at the time of separation, and the degree of tension and compression may increase, which may increase the possibility of deformation and damage of the fixing ring 110 itself. In addition, when the fixing ring 110 is formed in a square shape having a square of less than five, the same problem may occur when the fixing ring 110 is an odd square, and the shape of the fixing ring 110 is a triangle It is difficult to substantially realize the advantage of the stationary ring 110 including the bent portion 111 in which the shape of the stationary ring 110 is close to the circular shape and the straight line is bent at a predetermined angle Which is disadvantageous.

In addition, the stationary ring 110 may be formed with grooves having a thickness smaller than the other portions. That is, the groove formed in the fixing ring 110 facilitates the tensing of the fixing ring 110 when the male locking button 200 is coupled with the locking protrusion 261 of the male locking button 200, There is an advantage that the engagement of the snap button 100 is made more smooth.

The material of the fixing ring 110 is not particularly limited as long as it is a material capable of providing elasticity, and may be made of, for example, plastic or rubber. Considering the manufacturing cost and physical properties, the material of the stationary ring 110 may be a polymer resin selected from the group consisting of polyacetal, polyethylene, polypropylene, and polycarbonate. Can be used.

The upper end 121 of the ring receiving portion of the main body 120 is bent inward to fix the holding ring 110 to the ring receiving portion on the inner circumferential surface of the main body 120. As a polygonal ring, The fixing ring 110 including the bent portion 111 bent at an angle can be more conveniently and stably arranged and fixed in the ring receiving portion of the main body 120. [

The first engaging rod 131 of the inner snap 130 is inserted into the inner snap insertion hole 122 of the main body 120 and the upper end of the first snap rod 131 is bent outward by a method such as crimping, The main body 120 and the inner snap 130 can be easily and stably coupled with each other by fixing the main body 120 and the main body 120 in a state where they are coupled to the main body 120. [

The female snap button 100 is inserted into the space 160 inside the fixing ring 110 provided in the ring receiving portion of the main body 120 in a state where the fixing protrusion 261 of the male snap button 200 is introduced The engagement with the male snap button 200 can be conveniently achieved by pressing and fixing the outer circumferential surface 142 of the female snap button 100 and the outer circumferential surface 242 of the male snap button 200 with both fingers.
