Abstract
A press-stud with lateral locking, having a male component and a female component which must be associable with each other, the female component has a seat which is suitable to accommodate, by insertion, the head of a mushroom-shaped element which protrudes from the male component; the seat can be accessed by the head through an opening which has a first larger part which allows insertion of the head and a second smaller part whose dimensions are intermediate between the dimensions of the head and the dimensions of the stem, the seat accommodating elastic contrast elements which allow the head to move over them during insertion and extraction, with a movement of the head toward the first part of the opening that is larger than the second smaller part, and viceversa.
Claims10
A press-stud with lateral locking comprising:
- a male component having:
- a mushroom-shaped element including a stem and a head protruding at a free end of said stem, with said head having cross-sectional dimensions which are larger than cross-sectional dimensions of said stem;
- and
- a female component having:
- a seat for accommodating, upon insertion, said head of the mushroom-shaped element;
- an opening including a first larger part and a second smaller part, said second smaller part having opening dimensions intermediate between the cross-sectional dimensions of said stem and those of said head;
- elastic contrast elements for elastically urging said head during insertion and extraction thereof occurring upon movement of the head, over said elements, from said first part to said second part of said opening and viceversa;
- and a dome-shaped element which engages a hole formed at the bottom of said seat, said dome-shaped element being made of plastics.
