Definitions

  • My invention relates. to a new and improved initial button.
  • One of the objects of my invention is to provide an improved button which can be used on 6 shirts and garments and all other wearing ap parel, said button having an initial or other ornamental design member associated therewith.
  • Another object of my invention is to provide aslmple and eflicient device whereby the but- 10 ton can be readily and securely assembled with the initial member or the like.
  • Another object of my invention is to provide a button having a recess in the -outer or fair side thereof so that the application oftheinitial or other ornamental member will conceal the thread which is used for attaching the button to a shirt or to any other garment.
  • Another object of my invention is to provide a button having a recess in its outer or fair 20 side, said recess having an undercut groove at the base of said recess,'so that an initial memher or the like which has resilient projections can be snapped into position, and said initial member or the like will be securely held in 25 position.
  • Fig. 1 is a sectional view of the assembled device, the button being shown with it outer or fair side at 86 the bottom of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 2 is a top plan view of Fig. 1, part of the representation of the button having been broken away, in order to show the parts more clearly.
  • Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of Fig. 1, show- 40 ing the outer or fair side of the button. It is to be understood that Fig. 1 is a sectional view on the line l-I of Fig. 3.
  • Fig. 4 is an inner plan view of the initial member or the like, separated from the button, 45 showing the concave side of the initial member.
  • this shows the button member I, having the holes 2.
  • Said button mem-' her I can be made of any suitable material, such as bone or metal, or the like.
  • Said button member I is of the usual rigid construction. In the specific embodiment shown, said button I is provided with four holes 2 for receiving the sewing thread, but the invention is not to be limited in this respect.
  • the outer or fair side of the button is provided with a recess 3.
  • Said initial member 1 is formed with a sufiicient number of integral depending lugs 1a which are of general concavo-convex or hooklike shape.
  • there 35 are six members 1a, which are preferably equally spaced. I can use any desired number of said members 1a.
  • the initial member is of general dome or arch shape as shown in Fig. l, with its convex face outward.
  • the tapered wall-portion. 6 permits the initial member I to be readily forced into the mouth as said tapered wall-portion causes the tongues. 1a to be moved inwardly,
  • the tongues la Upon applying sufi'icient pressure, the tongues la can be moved into contact with and along the wall-portion 5, until the tongues 1a can spring outwardly so as to engage the undercut wall-portion 4 of the recess 3.
  • the frictional grip and resilience of the tongues 1a are sum-- cient to hold the initial member 7 firmly in position.
  • Said wall- 10' member 1 can be forced Portions whereby the initial out of the position shown in Fig. l. of the tongues la may 2, or some of said holes.
  • said tongues should not is, as shown in Fig. l, the inwardly bent endportions of said tongues 1a can be short enough to clear the holes 2.
  • the tongues are integral with the initial member, the body of said initial member is dome-shaped, so that it is rigid.
  • the tongues 1a are shaped so as to make them resilient. By forcing the tool directly against the dome-shaped part of the initial, said initial can be removed tongues. Hence, the initials can be readilyremoved from the buttons, and then replaced. As shown in Fig.
  • the outer surface of the initial member 1 may be flush with the outer end of the wall of the recess 3, or else theouter surface of the initial member I may project above or be 10- However, I prefer that obstruct holes 2; That cated below the outer end of the wall of said recess 3.
  • the initial member 'I conceals the thread which has been passed through the holes 2, and which is used for securing the button I to the garment.
  • the member 1 is wholly within the lateral wall of recess'3, so that no part of member 1 projects laterally beyond the longitudinal wall of said recess.
  • buttons can be sewed to the shirt during the manufacture of the garment, in the ordinary manner, prior to applying the initials.
  • the invention is particularly useful for application to the cuff-buttons of shirts, as it provides means whereby said buttons can be ornamented, and the shirt can be identified.
  • the edge of the initial 1 may be slightly spaced from the wall'portion 5, or fit snugly in said Wall-portion.
  • a button made of rigid material and having holes for receiving sewing thread in the rear side thereof, said button fair side thereof, said said recess, the longitudinal having an undercut portion at its inner end, and a supplemental member removably held in said recess, said supplemental member substantially filling said recess and covering said holes, said supplemental member having spaced resilient tongues which engage said undercut portion of the wall of said recess, said tongues having inwardly directed convexo-concave shapes, the convex walls of said tongues abutting the undercut portion of the wall of the holes opening into be aligned with holes without injuring the the holes "2 are closer to the v wall of recess 3 and said ICCBSS 2.
