Referring to FIG. 1, the female button portion 10 of the snap button includes a female button 13 of a socket type and a female button fixing piece 11 for fixing the female button 13 to a cloth 15 or the like. The male button portion 20 is a male button fixing piece for fixing the male button 23 and the male button 23 to the cloth 25 and the like having a protruding fixing protrusion 27 coupled to the female button 13 ( 21). One surface 22 of the male button fixing piece 21 is generally formed with a recessed groove 29 having a shape corresponding to the fixing protrusion 27 of the male button.

Conventionally used snap buttons are mainly made of metals such as nickel, cadmium, copper-zinc alloy and the like. However, these metal components have been known to be harmful to the human body, and in particular, there is a problem that there is a risk of causing various dermatitis, such as allergic reactions when in direct contact with the skin. The risk can be even higher, given that snap buttons are often used in garments that come in direct contact with fragile skin, such as infants and women's underwear. In addition, when the snap button is in direct contact with the skin, the cold texture of the metal can cause a bad feeling.

In order to solve this problem, a method of manufacturing a snap button using a non-metallic plastic has been proposed, but a snap button made of this plastic has a disadvantage in that it is easily broken by pressure during its manufacturing process or use.

In addition, the one surface of the metallic snap button in contact with the skin is sealed with a resin material other than metallic to prevent contact between the skin and the metallic snap button, but the conventional methods require an additional process to increase the production cost there was.

Meanwhile, the Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-028819 manufactures the outer surface of the metallic snap button with a resin material. In this method, the head portion of the button exposed to the outside is easily changed with the resin material by using a resin material. . In addition, since the resin head is fixed to the metallic fixing member by using an adhesive, there is a problem that the head portion can be easily separated from the snap button by external impact such as washing.

Accordingly, the present invention has been devised to overcome the above problems, and provides a snap button cover that is not only to prevent the metallic snap button from coming into direct contact with the skin but also to be firmly fixed to the snap button and easily used. There is a purpose.

The following drawings attached to this specification are illustrative of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and together with the detailed description of the present invention to serve to further understand the technical spirit of the present invention, the present invention is a matter described in such drawings It should not be construed as limited to.
