Detailed Description

Fig. 1 to 3 are views of a buckle assembled with a detachable screw from different perspectives. As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the buckle 1 includes a flat plate portion 11 and a column portion 12 erected from the flat plate portion 11, and includes: an insertion member 10 having a flat plate portion 11 and a column portion 12; an outer member 20 surrounding the outside of the insertion member 10 and having a bottom surface 21; and a lid portion 30 covering the insertion member 10 and the outer member 20 and having a top surface 31, the top surface 31 being located at an end portion opposite to the bottom surface 21. The bottom surface 21 defines an opening 22, and the column portion 12 of the insertion member 10 has an inner wall extending from the bottom surface 21 to the lid portion 30, and a cavity 13 is formed in the column portion 12 by the inner wall. The cavity 13 shown in fig. 3 is tapered, may be linear, or may be any shape suitable for receiving the removable screw 40. The cavity 13 is formed so as to narrow from the end of the column portion 12 to the inside of the cavity 13 (toward the flat plate portion 11). More specifically, the cavity 13 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and the diameter thereof decreases from the end of the column portion 12 toward the inside of the cavity 13. The column portion 12 has an inner wall without irregularities, and a cavity 13 is formed in the column portion 12 by the flat inner wall. The cover 30 and the outer member 20 of the buckle 1 are made of, for example, metal, and may be made of any other suitable material. The insertion member 10 may be made of resin, for example, and may be made of a material softer than the column portion 42 of the detachable screw 40. By being provided with: the buckle 1 is provided with an insertion member 10 having a plate portion 11 and a column portion 12 formed of resin, an outer member 20 formed of metal covering the outside of the insertion member 10, and a lid portion 30 formed of metal covering the insertion member 10 and the outer member 20, and can form a concave-convex corresponding to the shape of the screw 44 in the cavity 13 of the column portion 12 while obtaining strength as a buckle. Further, by using a material softer than the post portion 42 of the screw 40 as the material of the insertion member 10, it is possible to reliably form the irregularities corresponding to the shape of the thread 44 on the outer surface 43 of the post portion 42 of the screw 40 on the inner wall side surface of the cavity 13 of the buckle 1.

Fig. 4 shows a prior art rivet 400 for fixedly attaching a clasp to a garment. The rivet 400 has a plurality of locking ribs 403 along a post portion 402 provided upright from a flat plate portion 401, and the locking ribs 403 are engaged with the buckle when the buckle is assembled to the rivet 400. Since the rivet 400 is fixedly attached to the buckle by the locking rib 403, once the locking rib 403 is assembled to the buckle, the locking rib 403 cannot be removed. For example, even if the rivet 400 is rotated, the engagement between the rivet 400 and the buckle cannot be released.

Figures 5 and 6 show a removable screw 40. The detachable screw 40 includes a flat plate portion 41 and a column portion 42 standing from the flat plate portion 41, and the column portion 42 has a screw thread 44 on an outer surface 43 and a tip end portion 45 at an end edge. The flat plate portion 41 is provided at an end portion opposite to the front end portion 45. The tip end portion 45 is designed to be sharp, and in some examples, the angle of the tip end portion 45 is 40 to 55 degrees, but may be various angles. The diameter of the thread 44 is substantially the same as the diameter of the cavity 13 of the button 1, and the thread 44 should interfere with this cavity 13. This reduces the possibility of the insertion member 10 breaking when the screw 40 is attached to the buckle 1. If the thread 44 is too large, the insertion member 10 is broken, and the attachment strength between the screw 40 and the buckle 1 is lost. The removable screw 40 is formed, for example, of metal, but may be formed of any suitable material that is more rigid than the insert 10 of the clasp 1.

Figures 7 and 8 show the clasp 1 of figures 1 to 3 assembled with the removable screw 40 of figures 5 and 6. In the assembly a of the buckle and the detachable screw, as shown in fig. 7, the column portion 42 of the detachable screw 40 is inserted from the opening 22 of the bottom surface 21 and is accommodated in the cavity 13 of the buckle 1. When the buckle 1 is mounted on a garment, the garment is placed between the buckle 1 and the detachable screw 40, and the inner wall of the buckle 1 has no unevenness and a cavity 13 into which the screw 40 is inserted is formed in the inner wall. Next, the detachable screw 40 is inserted through the clothes from the bottom surface 21 of the buckle 1 and is quickly pressed into the cavity 13 of the buckle 1. The detachable screw 40 may be rotated when it is inserted into the cavity 13 of the buckle 1, as the case may be. However, when the post portion 42 of the screw 40 is pressed into the cavity 13 of the buckle 1, the screw 40 is pressed without rotating, and the conventional mounting machine can be used without any problem, which is advantageous in that the yield is not lowered. The pointed front end 45 of the detachable screw 40 is used to penetrate the garment and the insertion part 10 of the clasp 1. When the post portion 42 of the detachable screw 40 is pressed into the insertion member 10 of the buckle 1, the screw 40 is attached to the buckle 1, and as shown in fig. 9, a concave-convex portion corresponding to the shape of the thread 44 of the outer surface 43 of the post portion 42 of the screw 40 is formed on the inner wall of the cavity 13 forming the buckle 1. In the case where the cavity 13 formed in the post portion 12 of the buckle 1 has a cavity depth larger than the length of the post portion 42 of the screw 40, as shown in fig. 7, there is a region in the cavity 13 where the screw 40 is not inserted. In this region, the inner wall of the column portion 12 forming the cavity 13 is not formed with irregularities and is flat. As shown in fig. 9, this can be confirmed after the screw 40 is detached from the buckle 1. After the detachable screw 40 is completely pushed into the cavity 13 of the buckle 1, the buckle 1 is fixedly attached to the clothes, and the detachable screw 40 is rotated along the concave and convex formed on the insertion member 10 of the buckle 1, thereby detaching the buckle 1 from the clothes.

The components shown in the drawings or described above may have various configurations, and components and steps not shown or described may be present. As such, some feature and candidate combinations are useful, i.e., usable, regardless of other feature and candidate combinations. The embodiments of the present invention have been described for illustrative purposes, and not for limiting purposes. Alternative embodiments will be apparent to the reader of this patent. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described or illustrated embodiments, and various embodiments and modifications are possible.

According to the present invention, even when the button is attached to a cavity into which a screw is inserted without a recess and a projection, after the attachment, the recess and the projection corresponding to the thread shape of the outer surface of the column portion of the screw are formed on the inner wall of the cavity in which the button is formed, and at least one of the button and the screw is rotated, whereby the button and the screw can be detached from the clothing. Therefore, the clothes can be easily recycled without using a cutter or a crusher.
