Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a button for buttoning garments and a decorative button mainly used as decoration, specifically, a button to be attached by interposing a fabric between a button body and a fixture.
  • buttons attached by interposing a fabric between a button body and a fixture.
  • Such button has a button body with a concave portion therein and a fixture with its tip end to be inserted into the concave portion.
  • FIGS. 4A to 4 D show typical examples of this type of conventional button.
  • FIG. 4A shows a button body 50 with a common shape, which is widely-used and called “F-bar”.
  • the button body 50 has an engaging portion 50 B with a curved concave portion 50 A therein, a folded portion 50 C greatly folded back from an opening end of the engaging portion 50 B, and a flange 50 D extending from the folded portion 50 C toward the outside and inclined toward the opening end.
  • FIG. 4B shows a button body 51 with a common shape, which is widely-used and called “E-bar”.
  • the button body 51 has a center portion 51 B with a concave portion 51 A having a substantially rectangular shape therein, a folded portion 51 C slightly folded back from an opening end of the center portion 51 B and a flange 51 D extending straight from the folded portion 51 C toward the outside.
  • FIG. 4C shows a shank type rivet 52 as a fixture to be coupled with the button bodies 50 , 51 .
  • the rivet 52 has a flange 52 A and a shaft 52 B provided at the center of the flange 52 A, a tip end of the shaft 52 B having a sharp edge.
  • FIG. 4D shows a header type rivet 53 as a fixture to be coupled with the button bodies 50 , 51 .
  • the rivet 53 has a flange 53 A and a shaft 53 B provided at the center of the flange 53 A, edges of a tip end of the shaft 53 B being cut off.
  • a fabric is interposed between the button bodies 50 , 51 and the rivets 52 , 53 .
  • the engaging portions 50 B, 51 B of the button bodies 50 , 51 are so formed that parts forming the opening end project from the flanges 50 D, 51 D to press the fabric. Therefore, since spaces between the flanges 50 D, 51 D of the button bodies 50 , 51 and the flanges 52 A, 53 A of the rivets 52 , 53 are wide, thin fabrics cannot be pressed sufficiently. If the fabric is not pressed sufficiently, the button bodies 50 , 51 and the rivets 52 , 53 can come off from the fabric unexpectedly. In addition, there is a possibility that foreign bodies or nails of a user are caught between the fabric and the button bodies 50 , 51 or the rivets 52 , 53 .
  • forming the flange of the rivet into an inverted-conical shape without changing the shape of the button bodies 50 , 51 can be a possible solution, but it is difficult to process the flange into the inverted-conical shape.
  • buttons having button bodies and fixtures with specific shapes as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B for attaching a button to a thin fabric.
  • FIG. 5A shows a button called “stud”, which has a button body 60 with a concave portion 60 A therein and a fixture 61 called “post” and molded with a thin plate.
  • the fixture 61 has a flange 61 A and a leg 61 B formed at the center of the flange 61 A, and formed on a tip end of the leg 61 B is a flare 61 C processed to open toward the outside.
  • the fabric is cut between the flare 61 C and the concave portion 60 A of the button body 60 . Therefore, the concave portion 60 A of the button body 60 is formed into a specific shape having a narrow opening end and the width being gradually widened toward the inside in order to cut the fabric with the flare 61 C.
  • FIG. 5B shows a button having a button body 62 called “G-bar” and a fixture 63 called “post rivet”.
  • the button body 62 has a specific shape including a front portion 62 A formed with its edge folded and an engaging portion 62 B with its outer edge engaged with the edge of the front portion 62 A and with its inner edge forming a sharp cutting edge 62 C.
  • the fixture 63 has a flange 63 A and a leg 63 B formed at the center of the flange 63 A, the leg 63 B being provided with an inclined portion 63 C to cut the fabric with the cutting edge of the engaging portion 62 B.
  • the button disclosed in Reference 1 has a structure including a button body having a conical projection, an engaging portion with its tip end adapted to bend when abutting on the conical projection and a flange for the engaging portion to be attached to the center thereof, the engaging portion being provided with a plurality of cutting edges arranged circularly to cut the fabric with the button body portion.
  • FIGS. 5A and 5B have a problem in which the attaching structure cannot be utilized for widely-used button bodies such as F-bar and E-bar due to its specific shapes.
  • the shape of the concave portion fitted to the flare of the fixture 61 is determined without variation, so that button bodies of the F-bar or E-bar shown in FIGS. 4A to 4 B′′ cannot be applied to the fixture 61 .
  • the flare of the fixture 61 is formed to have thin tip end, when attached to a thick fabric like a denim fabric, the denim fabric cannot be cut sufficiently between the tip end of the flare and the concave portion of the button body. If the fixture 61 is forcibly attached to the thick fabric, the tip end of the flare is deformed, which makes the attachment even more difficult.
  • the button disclosed in Reference 1 has a problem in which the cutting edge is deformed or broken when the fabric is thick or stiff.
  • the button also has a problem when the fabric is thin or soft, in which the button cannot press the fabric sufficiently and catches the fabric in cutting so that the button cannot be attached to the fabric appropriately.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a button that can be attached to a fabric by using a widely-used button body with common shape regardless of thickness and stiffness of the fabric.
  • a button includes: a button body; and a fixture, the fixture being pressed and fixed with a fabric interposed between the button body and the fixture, in which the button body has a housing for a tip end of the fixture to be inserted therein, and the fixture has a shoulder between the tip end and a tubular portion formed continuously from the tip end, the shoulder having a cutting portion to cut the fabric with an insertion end of the housing of the button body.
  • the fabric is cut between the cutting portion formed on the shoulder and the insertion end of the housing of the button body while being pressed by the tip end of the fixture, so that the button can be attached.
  • the fabric is cut between the cutting portion formed on the shoulder of the fixture and the insertion end of the housing of the button body.
  • the plate thickness does not have to be thinned compared with that of the flare or the edge shown in the related art, so that it does not face a problem of being damaged even when a big force is applied to the cutting portion.
  • its center alignment capability is not deteriorated. Therefore, in the present invention, the fabric can be easily cut without damaging the fixture regardless of the thickness of the fabric.
  • the button body is shaped to have the housing in the present invention, a widely-used button body can be used without making any changes by employing a common shape like F-bar, E-bar, etc.
  • the cutting portion is an edge formed on the shoulder.
  • the curvature radius R of the edge is 0.5 mm or less, more preferably 0.3 mm or less.
  • the cutting portion by providing the cutting portion on the edge formed between the tip end and the tubular portion, processing of the cutting portion can be facilitated, so that the fixture can be manufactured easily.
  • the cutting portion is formed continuously or intermittently on the circumference of the shoulder.
  • the fabric can be appropriately and easily cut along the insertion end of the housing.
  • the shoulder has an outer periphery radially bulged relative to the tubular portion.
  • the shoulder is hardly deformed, and the damage on the cutting portion can be prevented more efficiently.
  • the tip end has a projection projecting from the shoulder.
  • the fabric is stretched and pressed by the projection projecting from the shoulder in cutting the fabric between the cutting portion of the fixture and the insertion portion of the housing of the button body, which facilitates cutting the fabric so that the fabric can be cut smoothly without damaging the cutting portion.
  • the tip end is adapted to be dented and bulged outwardly when pressed by the button body so that the bulged tip end is engaged with the housing.
  • the lateral side of the tip end pressed the lateral side of the housing sufficiently so that detaching force (separation force) of the button is increased. This prevents the button body from unexpectedly coming off from the fixture.
  • the edge 12 F as the cutting portion of the present invention and the projection 12 E can be provided even if it is processed from a plate, and thus the fabric can be cut easily.
  • the thickness of the plate used as a material of the fixture should preferably be in the range of 0.2 mm to 1 mm, more preferably, 0.3 mm to 0.6 mm.

  • the button body 11 is called F-bar and has a structure identical to the button body shown in FIG. 4B .
  • the button body 11 is made of aluminum, iron, stainless steel alloy, copper alloy including brass or other kind of metals or alloys by an appropriate processing such as press working.
  • the button body 11 has a structure in which a center portion 11 B provided with a concave portion 11 A as a housing, a folded portion 11 C slightly folded back from an edge of an opening end as an insertion end of the center portion 11 B, a flange 11 D extending straight from the folded portion 11 C toward the outside are integrally molded.
  • the center portion 11 B is formed to have a cylindrical shape with a bottom face, and the inner side thereof is the concave portion 11 A.
  • the concave portion 11 A has a substantially rectangular shape with its opening end 11 E rounded by appropriate curvature.
  • the folded portion 11 C is inverted from the center portion 11 B, and the flange 11 D extends at approximately square angle from an end of the folded portion 11 C.

  • the projection 12 E is adapted to be dented when pressed by the button body 11 . Since the fixture 12 functions as a rivet, when the projection 12 E is dented to be lower than a flat portion of the tip end 12 A, the whole part of the tip end 12 A bulges outwardly. Then, the bulged tip end 12 A presses lateral side of the concave portion 11 A to engage. ( FIG. 2A )
  • the flange 12 D is gradually inclined toward the button body 11 at the part closer to the outer periphery.
  • the shoulder 12 C has an edge 12 F formed continuously on its circumference of the outer periphery, and the edge 12 F forms a cutting portion to cut the fabric 1 with the opening end 11 E of the concave portion 11 A of the button body 11 .
  • the curvature radius R of the edge 12 F is 0.5 mm or less, more preferably 0.3 mm or less. The smaller curvature radius R is more preferable, but the present embodiment employs 0.3 mm to 0.2 mm.
