| The present invention relates to a fastener and clip for use in attaching a button to a garment or a piece of fabric. In one embodiment, the fastener (11) comprises a U-shaped flexible filament (13) and a pair of transverse feet (15-1, 15-2) disposed at opposite ends of the U-shaped flexible filament (13). The U-shaped filament (13) is generally rectangular in cross section, has a substantially uniform width, a thickness greatest in its arcuate region and least towards the feet. The feet (15-1, 15-2) are sized and shaped to fit through a button hole and securely engage a garment. To minimize contact with a person's skin, the feet (15-1, 15-2) are preferably shorter that the transverse bars of existing button fasteners and comparable in overall size to a knot of thread conventionnally used to secure buttons. The feet (15-1, 15-2) have rounded ends (21-1/21-2, 23-1/23-2), a flat top surface (19-1, 19-2) and a contoured bottom surface (25-1, 25-2) to minimize irradiation of a person's skin. | ||||||

| 29 | Apparatus for winding round the stem of a button | US43980 | 1998-03-30 | US6029867A | 2000-02-29 | Uk Jae Lee |
| An apparatus for winding round the stem of a button is disclosed wherein the drawbacks of the prior invention disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,082,151 were settled. Namely, after drawing the winding thread from the bobbin and in the process of the winding operation, if the thread is recoiled and drawn, the tensile force of the thread decreases and during the winding operation maintaining high rotation speed, the thread is frequently cut off, which leads to the frequent interruption of the winding operation. It was very inefficient in the respect of operation and had impractical disadvantage.Such apparatus according to the present invention comprises a bobbin supporting means for interchangeably supporting the bobbin supplying the winding thread so as to rotate on its own axis to the unloosening direction of the thread in accordance with winding and drawing force of the thread, a thread winding means being fixedly mounted on the equal rotation axis to said bobbin supporting means for receiving from the bobbin the winding thread and winding it round the stem of the button while being rotated along with the bobbin in the equal direction and at the equal angular velocity, and a winding rotation means for rotatively mounting on the support the bobbin supporting means and the thread winding means being fixedly mounted on equal rotation axis and rotating it with driving force of a motor. | ||||||
| 30 | Fastener for attaching a button to a garment or like material and fastener clip including one or more of said fasteners | US837738 | 1997-04-22 | US5938024A | 1999-08-17 | Charles L. Deschenes; Terence J. Jones; William J. Cooper |
| A fastener for use in attaching a button to a garment or a piece of fabric and a fastener clip including one or more of said fasteners. In a preferred embodiment, the fastener comprises a U-shaped flexible filament and a pair of transverse feet, the transverse feet being disposed at opposite ends of the U-shaped flexible filament. The U-shaped flexible filament is generally rectangular in cross-section. The width of the filament is substantially uniform over its length whereas the thickness of the filament is greatest in its arcuate region (to maximize the strength of the fastener) and least towards the feet. Because of its U-shape, the filament is permitted to extend between adjacent button holes, thereby creating the appearance of thread. The transverse feet, which extend parallel to one another and perpendicularly to the plane of the filament, are sized and shaped both to fit through a button hole and, once inserted through the button hole and an underlying garment, to securely engage the underside of the garment. To minimize contact with a person's skin, the feet of the present fastener are preferably shorter than the transverse bars of existing button fasteners and are preferably comparable in overall size to a knot of thread used to secure a button to a sheet of clothing material. In addition, the feet preferably have rounded ends, a flat top surface, and a contoured bottom surface to minimize contact with, and hence irritation of, a person's skin. | ||||||
| 31 | Method and apparatus for basting quilts or the like | US294001 | 1994-08-22 | US5697133A | 1997-12-16 | James K. Reber; Jill A. Reber |
| A method and apparatus for basting layers of flexible materials together such as for quilt making includes a spacing member, such as a grid, having openings therein is disposed on a support surface. A backing member or first flexible member is operatively secured to the support surface and a second member disposed over the first flexible member. Other layers are then placed over the second flexible member and, in the case of quilt making, there would typically be just three layers. A basting gun having a hollow needle is then utilized by pushing the hollow needle through all of the layers of flexible material and into one of the openings in the spacing member. Then the basting tool is utilized to force the first end of the plastic fastener through the hollow needle so that this first end of the plastic fastener is on one end of the flexible members and the second end of the plastic fastener is on the other side of the flexible members whereby the flexible members are held together by the plastic fastener. This process is repeated at various places on the flexible layers until they are held together sufficiently so that they can be permanently sewn together. | ||||||
