Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to button covers for buttons of shirts and the like, in which a special device for engaging the buttons is typical of some currently known button covers. Eliminate shortcomings.

In the presently known button covers, the engagement of the button cover against the buttons of a shirt or similar can be obtained by means of a small spring with two elastic arms, which are inserted into the button cover. As it is inserted, these arms ensure the positioning of the button cover by friction. The main drawback of this example is that the thickness of the button cover, especially at the edges, must be quite sufficient to allow the elastic arms of the small springs to capture and secure the button cover through friction. . This results in an aesthetically unsatisfactory result.

The object of the invention is to provide a button cover which does not have the above-mentioned drawbacks and which fully guarantees reliable engagement with the button. The button cover of this invention has a small spring for engagement with the button, the small spring being hinged to the button cover to hold or release the button in the use position by the effect of elastic engagement. It is appropriate for

Due to the release action, the small spring and the button cover come apart, and due to the action of the elastic tongue, the two parts of the button cover that are separated at the corner are inserted into the button and the button cover, respectively. Occupies 1k position.

The accompanying drawings illustrate possible embodiments of the invention.

According to the drawing, a button cover with the number 1 is shown, in which a small spring 5 is articulated at hinge 3, rotated in the opposite direction with respect to the rectangle f5 about the dimension of hinge 3, and shown in dashed lines in FIG. By passing through the intermediate position h5A shown, the small spring 5 can be rotated from the position shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 (and in solid lines in FIG. 4) to the position shown in FIG.
The position W (Fig. 1, 2.3.4) corresponds to the use position tk of the button cover, and the second position corresponds to the insertion position of the button cover into the button as shown in Fig. 5.

The small spring 5 has two projections 7 which form the hinge 3 by engaging themselves into corresponding holes in the button cover 1.

Furthermore, on the same side of the protrusions 7 and between them, the small spring 5 has a tongue 9 which, in its use position, touches the edge of the button cover 1 and in a direction opposite f5. By rotation of the spring, it slides on the edge of the button cover 1 to the position shown in FIG. 5, and this position can be reached by means of a small spring fl for insertion onto the button 10.

Two protrusions 11 diametrically opposite to the protrusion 7
In order to cause the button cover 1 to engage and rotate against the small spring 5 in the direction opposite to %pf 5, the edge of the button cover 1 also protrudes slightly in the direction of use.

The contour and function of the small spring 5 and the articulation of the small spring by means of a hinge to the button cover 1 allow the button cover to be released and to obtain the thickness that is necessary for the realization of the engagement hole of the projection 7. It is sufficient that the height of the edge of the button cover can be significantly reduced. Thus, a large degree of freedom for the contour of the button cover and good aesthetic and functional results are achieved.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

(Fig. 1 is a top view of the button cover shown in the assembled position, Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the same button cover, Fig. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view of the button cover pressed against the button, and Fig. 4 is a top view of the button cover shown in the assembled position. 5 is a side view of the small spring and the button cover in the lowered and partially raised positions; FIG. is a button cover, 3 hinges. 5 is a small spring, 7 protrusions, 9 is a tongue, 10 is a button,
Eleven protrusions, fl, and f5 are arrows.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A button cover (having a small spring (5) for engaging the button and connecting the small spring (5) with a hinge (3)
The button cover according to item 1), characterized in that the button cover (1) is held in the use position through elastic force by a small spring (5). 2. The button cover (1) and the small spring (
5) Button cover according to claim 1, characterized in that the and (5) occupy two elastic mutually stable positions. 3. A small spring (5) is generally flat and also has two projections (7) on the button cover (1) for counter-joint connection, partially to ensure the stability of the two positions of elastic balance. a bent elastic tongue (9) and an articulating projection (
7) at least one protrusion (
11), the protrusion (11) contacts the edge of the button cover and preferably extends the button cover by a limited amount to facilitate retention and rotation of the small spring (5) relative to the button cover (1). The button cover according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the button cover protrudes from the button cover.
