Abstract
A garment fastener, especially for brassieres, with a press-button action and configuration, utilizes a pair of circular members welded to the garment and through which the fabric is visible and a circular member attached to the strap and forming a press connection with either of the two circular members attached to the fabric. The members have prongs which are engaged in the fabric of the garment and are welded to the member on the opposite side of the fabric.
Claims10
A garment fastener comprising:
- a first fastener part secured to fabric of a garment and comprising a pair of annular fastener sections on opposite sides of the fabric;
- a second fastener part having a pair of annular fastener sections on opposite sides of a support;
- and
- complementary male and female formations on one of said fastener sections of each of said fastener parts for releasable engagement by press-button action but engage the second fastener part with the first fastener part, at least one of said fastener sections of each fastener part being formed with a multiplicity of prongs in a circular array surrounding said formations, penetrating the respective fabric and support and fused to the other fastener section of the respective fastener part.
A garment fastener comprising:
- a strap;
- a first fastener part comprised of an annular fastener section on one side of said strap having a multiplicity of prongs in a circular array engaged in and ultrasonically fused on another fastener section on an opposite side of said strap;
- a second fastener part comprising a pair of annular fastener sections on opposite sides of a fabric, at least one of the sections of said second fastener part having a circular array of a multiplicity of prongs penetrating said fabric and ultrasonically fused to the other section of the second fastener part;
- and
- complementary male and female formations on one of the sections of each of said parts for releasable engageable by press-button action to engage the second fastener part with the first fastener part, the arrays of prongs surrounding said formations.
A garment fastener comprising a first fastener part secured to fabric of a garment and comprising a pair of fastener sections on opposite sides of the fabric;
- a second fastener part having a pair of fastener sections on opposite sides of a support, one of the fasteners sections of said first fastener part being formed with a head and one of the fastener sections of the second fastener part being formed with an opening receiving said head and formed with an outwardly diverging mouth enabling said head to be selectively press fitted into said opening and inserted transversely into said opening, the sections of at least one of said parts having prongs extending toward the other section of said one of said fastener parts for penetration into fabric and enabling the sections of said one of said fastener parts to be welded together.
