Abstract

An apparatus wherein a first embodiment includes a dome cover assembly, including spaced parallel resilient legs for directing through associated apertures of a button, with projections directed orthogonally relative to the legs to lock the cover relative to the button. A further embodiment of the instant invention includes a cover assembly mounted to a button disk, wherein the button disk includes a semi-annular loop orthogonally oriented relative to a bottom surface of the disk for securement to a garment. The cover is optionally formed of magnetic material to receive a magnetically attractive covering disk thereon to enable replacement of covers as desired by an individual. The embodiment further includes a resilient polymeric dome mounted to overlie the cover disk and plate, wherein the resilient dome is optionally formed including a matrix of deformable wire formed therethrough. The resilient dome may accordingly be reshaped as desired to various configurations in use.
