Definitions

  • the female button 58] [108 216217 230 half comprises one pair or several pairs of retaining discs 292 I which upon insertion of the male button half into the female button half will come into engagement with the one or several locking grooves of the male part thus firmly locking together [56] References Cited these two parts. Release of the button halves can be effected UNITED STATES PATENTS by means of a mechanical or magnetic key.
  • This invention relates to a two-part lock button comprising a pair of preferably semicircular retaining disks arranged within a first button half in the shape of a casing whereby these retaining disks are adapted to engage a locking groove provided on a bolt of another button half which bolt is adapted to be centrally inserted into the first button half and the retaining disks are releasable from engagement with the locking groove by means of a key.
  • Lock buttons of this type are employed for various purposes for which a fastening means consisting of two halves such as a press fastener is required which prevents an inadvertent or unauthorized disengagement of the two button halves.
  • the two semicircular retaining disks are mounted slidably in opposite directions and vertically to the button axis in the casing of the one button half.
  • Each of the retaining disks is exposed to one of two oppositely directed radial restoring forces provided by rubber abutments arranged between the circumference of each disk and the adjacent sidewall of the casing.
  • the retaining disks may be wedged apart in opposite directions, thus disengaging these disks from the locking groove in the bolt of the other button half, allowing to withdraw the bolt carrying button half from the casing button half. Since with such an arrangement the key movement in the button axis must be translated into two oppositely directed movements of the retaining disks vertically to the button axis the force required for disengaging this known type of lock button is relatively large.
  • the invention proposes to employ a key in the form of a resilient, two-legged hooked clamp having two leg portions provided with hooks which may be inserted through openings in the casing of the one button half and through retaining disk openings arranged behind these casing openings so that as a result of the resiliency of the hooked clamp these hook portions engage these retaining disks from their opposite sides and tilt these disks against the force of the return spring upon withdrawal of the hooked clamp.
  • the key may be provided in the form of a magnetic plate bearing a handle whereby this magnetic plate is adapted to exert a force of attraction onto the retaining disks which are of a magnetic material when the magnetic plate key is brought into registration with a freely accessible plane surface provided on the casing of the first button half so as to tilt the retaining disks against the axially directed force of the return spring.
  • the invention furthermore proposes a particularly advantageous application of a two-part lock button of this type wherein the button serves as a coupling member between rigid bodies which may be elements of a collapsible model, a box, furniture or toys.
  • the two button halves are mounted in rigid bodies which may be coupled to each other in such a manner that the button half forming a casing for the retaining disks is accessible to the key at a surface located on the one body opposite to a surface forming the contact surface of this one body with the other of these two rigid bodies and wherein the bolt provided at the other button half protrudes from the corresponding contact surface of the other body.
  • This arrangement allows to simply assemble the two rigid bodies at their contact surfaces so that the protruding bolt penetrates into the opening of the other button half resulting in the engagement of the retaining disks with the locking groove of the bolt, thereby rigidly connecting the two bodies.
  • buttons are mounted in one of the rigid bodies and is guided therein for axial movement against the force of a spring arranged within a sleeve-shaped body.
  • this movably mounted button half is the casing-shaped button half then this will allow to not automatically effect the coupling by inserting the two rigid bodies but only by pushing the casingshaped button half with a finger or by means of another determined effort towards the bolt.
  • the movable button half consists of the button carrying button half then it is possible to push the bolt in the decoupled condition into the rigid body which is provided with the'button half carrying the bolt thus reducing the danger of injuries.
  • one of the rigid bodies in which is mounted the button half forming a casing for the retaining disks comprises a wall portion of a collapsible hollow body whereas the other rigid body comprises a supporting or connecting element for two or several adjacent wall portions of the hollow body arranged on the interior of the hollow body.
  • the locking bolt of the second button half comprises several spaced locking grooves
  • the casing of the first button half is provided with an upper cover plate having an aperture
  • the magnetic key is centrally provided with an aperture, these apertures adapted for passing through the locking bolt of the second button half.
  • buttons including retaining disks are arranged on top of each other in the form of a button half assembly, the button halves being jointly mounted in a guide sleeve for axial movement against the force of a spring which engages a bottom plate connected to the guide sleeve, the guide sleeve partially overlapping the upper of the button halves, and the bottom plate being provided with a central aperture for passing through the locking bolt of the second button half.
  • the tiltably mounted locking disks are connected by means of guide rods mounted for axial movement in the casings of the button halves so that upon application of the key in the from of a magnet to the freely accessible back side of the casing-shaped button half the engagement may be released, i.e., the retaining disks of the upper button half may be moved out of the locking groove of the locking bolt on the other button half.
  • This movement is transmitted to the retaining disks of the other button halves by means of the connecting rods thus allowing to separate the two parts.

When inserting the bolt 2 into the central opening 14 the bolt 2 will at first engage the retaining edges l5, 16 of the retaining disks 8, 9 so that these disks will recede against the force of the spring 12 and then engage the locking groove 3 thus retaining the bolt 2.
  • the key consists in this first embodiment of a resilient two-legged hooked clamp whereby each of the two legs of the clamp is provided with a hook 17 at its end portion and adapted to be inserted through openings 18 in the casing shell 4 ofthe one button half as well as through recesses 19 in the two retaining disks 8, 9 which recesses are aligned with the openings 18 of the casings 4 and located behind these latter openings so that as a result of the resiliency of the hooked clamp these hook portions engage the retaining disks on their opposite sides and tilt the disks 8, 9 against the force of the return spring 12 when withdrawing the hooked clamp.
  • withdrawing the hooked clamp towards the one side and immediately thereafter or simultaneously pulling out the button half with the bolt 2 out of the opening 14 may be carried out more easily than disengaging the button halves of the above-described known lock button.
  • the key may also be provided in the form of a magnetic plate 20 having a handle 21 instead of a key in the form of a hooked clamp.
  • a force of attraction is exerted onto the retaining disks 8, 9 which are made of steel or any other suitable magnetic material.
