Definitions

  • This invention relates to a button decoration clip, for use particularly, but not exclusively, with buttons used with denim clothing.
  • buttons commonly comprise a large metal button on one end of a metal drum, which is sewn into a fabric and held in place by a circular flange provided at the opposite end.
  • This type of button construction is used with denim material because the material is often thick, and the garments in question designed to be hard wearing and rugged. In use the button is passed through a button hole in the overlying fabric, and in the process pressure can be applied from behind due to the rigid nature of the drum.
  • the decorative element cannot be readily changed without either removing the button from the garment, or removing the belt and/or the buckle on the belt.
  • no decorative element can be applied to a button which cannot be readily passed through a button hole, for example a three-dimensional decorative element larger in size than the dimensions of the button.
  • the present invention is intended to overcome some of the above problems, and to provide a novel approach.
  • a button decoration clip comprises a decoration platform and an engaging portion behind the decoration platform, in which the decoration platform and the engaging portion are spaced apart such that a gap exists between them, in which the engaging portion comprises a substantially U-shaped element, and in which in use a button is disposed in the gap, and the engaging portion is disposed around a drum carrying said button.
  • the button decoration clip can be substantially U-shaped and the decoration platform can comprise a first arm of the U-shape, and the engaging portion can comprise a second arm of the U-shape.
  • the U-shape of the engaging element is normal to the U-shape of the button decoration clip itself.
  • the button decoration clip can be constructed from a single piece of flat resilient material, for example spring steel, which can be bent into the U-shape described above.
  • the decoration platform and the engaging portion can be angled towards one another.
  • the button decoration clip can be provided with a resilient nature which can assist in attachment to the button.
  • a portion of the end of each arm of the U-shape of the engaging portion can be bent outwards, such that the clip can be readily fitted to a button which is wider than part of the gap.
  • the decoration platform and the engaging portion can be parallel with one another, and can both be flat.
  • buttons decoration clip itself and also the gap can be of any pre-determined dimensions to fit any known button types.
  • the decoration platform can be a circular disk, which can carry any type of decoration element, which can be attached thereto in any known manner.
  • the decoration element can be removably attached to the decoration platform such that it can be readily changed as desired.
  • the invention is also intended to include an arrangement in which a decoration element is an integral part of the button decoration clip.
  • the invention also includes a button decoration clip comprising a decoration platform, a decoration element, and an engaging portion behind the decoration platform, in which the decoration platform and the engaging portion are spaced apart such that a gap exists between them, in which the engaging portion comprises a substantially U-shaped element, in which the decoration platform carries the decoration element, and in which in use a button is disposed in the gap, and the engaging portion is disposed around a drum carrying said button.
  • a button decoration clip 1 comprises a decoration platform 2 and an engaging portion 3 behind the decoration platform 2.
  • the decoration platform 2 and the engaging portion 3 are spaced apart such that a gap 4 exists between them.
  • the engaging portion 3 comprises a substantially U-shaped element 5.
  • a button 6 is disposed in the gap 4, and the engaging portion 3 is disposed around a drum 7 carrying said button 6.
  • the button decoration clip 1 is U-shaped and the decoration platform 2 comprises a first arm 8 of the U-shape, and the engaging portion 2 comprises a second arm 9 of the U-shape.
  • the U-shape of the engaging portion 3 is normal to the U-shape of the button engaging clip 1 itself.
  • the decoration platform 2 and the engaging portion 3 are parallel with one another, and are both flat.
  • the decoration platform 2 is a circular disk, which can carry any type of decoration (not shown), which can be attached thereto in any known manner, for example an adhesive.
  • the button decoration clip 1 is constructed from a piece of 0.6mm thick spring steel, which was cut as a flat template, then bent into the shape shown in the Figures.
  • the button decoration clip 1 is placed over the button 6, such that the button 6 is disposed in the gap 4, and the decoration platform 2 is disposed in front of the button 6. This is done after the button 6 has been done up.
  • the button 6 is the waist button of a pair of jeans, but it will be appreciated that the button decoration clip 1 could be used with any button of this construction used with any type of material.
  • the button 6 is carried on a drum 7, which is attached to a first layer of fabric 10 by being sewn inside aperture 11 and having flange 12 to secure it there.
  • the button 6 is forced through button hole 13 in a second layer of fabric 14 to fasten the trousers around the waist.
  • the button decoration clip 1 is then placed over the button 6, and the engaging portion engages the drum 7, with the U-shape of the engaging portion being disposed around it.
  • the button decoration clip 1 is held in place by virtue of the gap 4 being a close fit on the button 6, and by virtue of the button 6 being held against the exterior 15 of the second layer of fabric 14 in use, which also serves to hold the button decoration clip 1 in place.
  • any decorative element can be applied to the decoration platform 2, including colours, images or three dimensional items.
  • three dimensional items can be attached thereto which would not pass through the button hole 13.
  • attachment means are provided on the decoration platform which are adapted to cooperate with attachment means provided on decorative element, for example a hook and loop fastener or a snap-fit popper button, such that the decorative element can be readily removed and replaced with another as desired.
  • the decoration platform and the engaging portion can angled towards one another, with their free ends closer together than as shown in the Figures.
  • the button decoration clip has a resilient nature to assist in attachment to the button.
  • a portion of the end of each arm of the U-shape of the engaging portion can be bent outwards, such that the clip can be readily fitted to a button which is wider than part of the gap.
  • the button decoration clip includes an integral decoration element.
  • a button decoration clip provides decoration to the front of a pair of trousers which has a button of the type shown in Figure 4.
  • the button decoration clip could also be used to decorate any button of the same type on any garment.
  • the clip can be readily removed and replaced with another, if desired, without having to remove the button or a belt.
  • a three dimensional decorative element can be applied to the button which would not pass through a button hole.
