Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent unreasonable force from being applied to a buttonhole by changing the shape of the neck part of a tack button. <P>SOLUTION: The tack button includes a surface member (2), the neck part (3) positioned between the surface member (2) and a cloth (6), and a fixing member (4) driven from the back side to the neck part (3) holding the cloth (6) there between. The transverse section of the neck part (3) is not circular and is elliptic, rectangular or linear for instance. It is especially preferable when it is elliptic and it is preferable that the longest part of the diameter of an ellipse is 1.3 to 10.0 times the shortest part. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a so-called neoba button used in jeans and the like.

  For example, as shown in Patent Document 1 below, the Neoba button is driven into the neck from the back side with the fabric and the surface member engraved with a pattern and characters, the neck positioned between the surface member and the fabric. It consists of a fixed member.

Starting from this Patent Document 1, the button neck used in the prior art has a cylindrical shape, and as far as the inventor knows, there is no other shape.
JP 2004-65292 A

  4 and 5 are a transverse sectional view and a longitudinal sectional view of a conventional Neoba button, respectively. As described above, the neck portion 3A is cylindrical and has a relatively large diameter. When the button 1A is passed through the buttonhole 7, the slit-shaped buttonhole 7 is forcibly expanded in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. . This defect was particularly noticeable when Neoba button was used as a jeans jacket placket.

  The present invention has been made in view of this problem, and an object thereof is to prevent an excessive force from being applied to the buttonhole by changing the shape of the neck portion of the neoba button.

  The neoba button of the present invention comprises a surface member, a neck portion located between the surface member and the fabric, and a fixing member that is driven against the neck portion from the back side with the fabric interposed therebetween. It is characterized by a non-perfect circle.

  According to the present invention, since the cross section of the neck is a non-circular circle, the shape of the buttonhole is approached and the fabric around the buttonhole is less likely to be damaged.

  “Non-circular circle” means that there are long or short portions in the longitudinal length and the transverse length, and the cross section may be a straight line that is oval, rectangular or extreme rectangular. it can. Among these, an ellipse having good contact feeling with a finger is preferable. The longest part of the ellipse diameter is preferably about 1.3 to 10.0 times the shortest part, and most preferably about 1.5 to 5.0 times. If it is close to 1.0, the significance of making the cross section elliptical is lost, and if it exceeds 10, it becomes close to a straight line.

  As materials to be used, all are usually made of metal, and brass, aluminum, copper, iron, and the like can be used.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  1 to 3 show a neoba button 1 for jeans according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1A is a perspective view, FIG. 1B is a plan view, FIG. 1C is a bottom view, FIG. 1D is a front view, and FIG. 2 and 3 are a transverse sectional view and a longitudinal sectional view of the button, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the neoba button 1 has a surface member 2 and a neck 3 positioned between the surface member and the fabric. When attaching to the cloth 6, as shown in FIG. 3, a fixing member 4 that is driven into the neck portion 3 from the back side with the cloth 6 interposed therebetween is used.

  The cross section of the neck 3 of this neoba button is an ellipse. The longest part of the diameter is about twice the shortest part.

  When the Neoba button having the neck 3 is attached to the fabric and passed through the buttonhole 7, the buttonhole 7 is in the state shown in FIG. It is obvious at a glance that the button 1 does not expand the slit-shaped buttonhole 7 in the vertical direction so much as compared with FIG. 4 showing the conventional example. As a result, it is possible to obtain an effect that the heel is unlikely to move around the buttonhole 7 and is not easily deformed. The neoba button of the present invention is less likely to cause the clothing to lose shape around the buttonhole even when used as a jeans jacket placket.

  Although not shown, a straight line that is a rectangle or an extreme rectangle can be adopted as a cross section of the neck portion of the neoba button. The rectangle is preferably rounded.

It is a neoba button which concerns on the Example of this invention. (A) is a perspective view, (b) is a plan view, (c) is a bottom view, (d) is a front view, and (e) is a side view. It is a cross-sectional view of the button of the present invention. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the button of this invention. It is a cross-sectional view of a conventional button. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the conventional button.
