Abstract
A button including a bottom element which has a stem extending along an axial direction, a closing element which has a pin extending along the axial direction internally to the stem, the pin being configured to bind to the stem, a fixing element having a trunk extending along the axial direction externally to the stem, the trunk being configured to receive and bind to the stem. The stem is configured to be coupled with interference fit internally with the pin and externally with the trunk so that the trunk causes a radial clamping action on the stem and, through the stem, on the pin.
Claims7
Button comprising:
- a bottom element which comprises a stem extending along an axial direction,
- a closing element which comprises a head extending on a plane perpendicular to the axial direction and including a first portion having a first diameter and a second portion having a second diameter greater than the first diameter, and a pin extending along the axial direction from the head internally to the stem, the pin being configured to bind to the stem,
- a fixing element including a flange extending on a plane perpendicular to the axial direction and having a first annular seat defined by a first diameter and a second diameter smaller than the first diameter, and a trunk extending along the axial direction form the flange externally to the stem, the trunk being configured to receive and bind to the stem,
- wherein
- the first portion of the head is housed into and coupled with the first annular seat of the fixing element;
- and
- the stem is configured to be coupled with interference fit internally with the pin and externally with the trunk so that the trunk causes a radial clamping action on the stem and, through the stem, on the pin.

Button comprising:
- a bottom element which includes a stem extending along an axial direction,
- a closing element which includes a pin extending along the axial direction internally to the stem, the pin being configured to bind to the stem and having a lateral surface provided with a plurality of protrusions extending along a radial direction and developing longitudinally along the axial direction,
- a fixing element comprising a trunk extending along the axial direction externally to the stem, the trunk being configured to receive and bind to the stem,
- wherein
- the stem is configured to be coupled with interference fit internally with the pin and externally with the trunk so that the trunk causes a radial clamping action on the stem and, through the stem, on the pin,
- and wherein the protrusions are configured to deform to be coupled with interference fit between the pin and the stem.

Button comprising:
- a bottom element which includes a stem extending along an axial direction,
- a closing element which includes a pin extending along the axial direction internally to the stem, the pin being configured to bind to the stem,
- a fixing element including:
- a flange extending on a plane perpendicular to the axial direction and having a first annular seat defined by a first diameter and a second diameter smaller than the first diameter, the first annular seat being configured to receive and be coupled with the closing element;
- a trunk extending along the axial direction from the flange externally to the stem and configured to receive and bind to the stem, and
- an internal countersink extending in a radial direction at a first end to identify a conical crown defined by a second outer diameter and a second inner diameter, the second inner diameter corresponding to the second diameter of the first annular seat,
- wherein
- the stem is configured to be coupled with interference fit internally with the pin and externally with the trunk so that the trunk causes a radial clamping action on the stem and, through the stem, on the pin,
- and wherein the countersink of the fixing element is configured to receive and retain a fabric edge of a buttonhole between the first end of the fixing element and the bottom element.
