Problems solved by technology

One problem with traditional snaps is that they can cumbersomely join together four separate parts, which can add weight and size to the snap, making it cumbersome and unattractive
Also, most snap buttons tend to sit between two layers of fabric, so fabric joining is not ideal because water, air, and dirt can get in
[0003] Additionally, traditional metal snaps can be noisy when engaged and disengaged, making their use undesirable in some cases, such as on tracking devices

Embodiment Construction

[0032] Referring now to the drawings in detail, and in particular, Figure 1 to Figure 3 A snap-on cap 10 according to the invention is shown. The cap 10 has a base body 11 with a rim 12 and an annular flange 13 extending upwardly from the base body 11 . The annular flange 13 has a plurality of discontinuities 14 around its circumference to form a plurality of evenly distributed prongs 15 . Arranged inside the base body 11 and below the flange 13 is an insert 16 which has a plurality of teeth 17 arranged in a circumferential manner on the inside of the flange 13 . The insert 16 is preferably made of plastic and the teeth 17 are preferably arranged with spaces between them.

[0033] Figure 4 to Figure 6 A socket 20 according to the invention is shown. The socket 20 is annular in shape with a central aperture 21 , a top rim 22 and a bottom rim 23 . The circumference of the top rim 22 is smaller than the circumference of the bottom rim 23 . An annular insert 24 is arranged...

Abstract

A snap button has a female portion formed from a cap (10) and a socket (20) that are connected together with a piece of fabric (60) in between. The cap (10) is formed from a base body (11) having a circumferential flange (13) with interruptions (14) therein so that the flange (13) can be bent outward during assembly. The socket (20) is formed by a disc having a central aperture (21) and two peripheral rims (22, 23), as well as an annular insert (24) disposed within the socket (20). The cap (10) is connected to the socket (20) by pressing the socket (20) onto the cap (10) until the flange (13)bends around the annular insert (24) to anchor the cap (10) to the socket (20) with the fabric (60) trapped between. A male portion having a stud (32) is connected to the female portion by snapping the stud (32) into the socket (20) such that the stud (32) extends entirely through the socket (20) and into the cap (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a snap button for connecting two items together. In particular, the present invention relates to a snap button that is very thin and easy to assemble. Background technique [0002] Snaps are generally formed from four separate pieces: a cap and socket forming the female portion of the snap, and a post and feet forming the male portion of the snap. The fabric is placed between the cap and the socket, and also between the post and the spikes, so that when the post is snapped into the socket, the two pieces of fabric are joined together. One problem with traditional snaps is that they can cumbersomely join together four separate parts, which can add weight and size to the snap, making it cumbersome and unattractive. Also, most snap buttons tend to sit between two layers of fabric, making a fabric join less than ideal because water, air, and dirt can get in. [0003] In addition, conventional metal snaps can be noisy whe...
