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.

A self-contained button attachment assembly. In a preferred embodiment, the assembly comprises a fastener dispensing tool. The tool includes a hollow, open-ended, unitary housing having a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion and the bottom portion are generally cylindrical in shape, the top portion having a substantially greater cross-sectional diameter than the bottom portion. Four hollow, slotted needles are fixedly mounted in the housing and extend out through the bottom thereof. Four ejector rods are slidably mounted within the four needles, the four ejector rods being fixedly mounted at their respective top ends on a plate that is slidably mounted within the top portion of the housing and is accessible through the open top end thereof. The assembly also comprises a conventional garment button of the type having four transverse openings. The button is positioned within the bottom portion of the housing so that the four needles extend partially through its four transverse openings, the button being releasably retained within the housing by a circumferential lip formed on the inside of the housing. The assembly further comprises a pair of fasteners, each fastener comprising a U-shaped flexible filament and a pair of transverse feet, the transverse feet being disposed at opposite ends of the filament and extending perpendicularly to the plane of the filament. Each transverse foot is loaded into one of the hollow slotted needles and is positioned over the button.

A machine for the attachment of buttons, rivets or the like, preferably to articles of clothing, which buttons, rivets or the like consist of an upper portion and a lower portion, a material held between an upper clamping jaw and a lower clamping jaw being punched by actuation of a ram, and, after movement of a slide having an upper tool and a lower tool, the button portions disposed therein being positively connected to one another by ram actuation by virtue of the upper and lower tools being brought towards one another. In order to be able to carry out the punching of the article of clothing which is necessary before the attachment of the object, using the same machine and without changing the position of the article of clothing, an attachment tool (36) at the end of the ram is disposed, in the hole punching disposition (FIG. 3), in coaxial alignment with a hole punching tool (26).

An apparatus for delivering a button body with a hub and a flange applied to a part between a chute through which the button body is fed gravitationally from a hopper and a button feeder of a button applicator to which the button body is delivered. According to a preferred embodiment, a receiving member, which is pivotably fixed to a stopper placed facing an outlet of the chute and which is urged to the chute by a spring, has a receiving projection as well as a cam projection. A pusher moving backward and forward along a space between the receiving member and the outlet of the chute is provided with a cam receiving surface including a notch on its side face facing the receiving member. A pocket is formed by the fore end of the pusher and the inner face of the receiving projection in order to receive the hub of the button body. The receiving projection is pivotable moved off or moved in close to the chute in conjunction with the movement of the pusher by the cam receiving surface including the notch, the cam projection and the spring so that the button body can be passed to the button feeder smoothly without being forced by any other members.

A fastener conveying apparatus for a fastener assembling machine comprises a chute defining a first passageway for guiding a plurality of fastener members in succession, a guide defining a second passageway joined at one end to a lower end of the first passageway for guiding the fastener members one at a time through the second passageway. A front part of the guide is detachable to open the second passageway along its entire length so that a fastener member jammed in the second passageway can be removed easily by using both hands.

A button press has an indexable turntable on which are mounted a plurality of alternating lower forming die assemblies and crimping die assemblies. The lower die assemblies are positioned beneath an upper die assembly as the turntable is indexed. The upper die assembly is reciprocated towards and away from the lower die assemblies to first form a cover sheet and display sheet about a metal button front and then to join that subassembly to a metal back having a pin. The indexing of the turntable and the vertical reciprocation of the upper die assembly are provided by a single electric motor. The motor drives a sprocket which is mounted on a shaft leading to a right angle drive mechanism which converts the continuous rotation of the shaft into incremental rotary motion of the turntable. A vertical linkage extends from a face of the spracket to one end of a walking beam whose other end is connected to a ramrod that mounts the upper die assembly. A control for the electric motor allows continuous or intermittent incremental operation and includes switches that sense the position of the turntable to insure that the lower die assemblies are aligned beneath the upper die assembly when a press operation is to occur.
