Description

TITRE :Cache-boutonTITLE: Button cover
La présente invention est relative à un cache-bouton. L'état de la technique en la matière peut être illustré, entre autres, par le brevet français N° 2546727 qui décrit un dispositif comportant deux parties pouvant être assemblées l'une à l'autre en emprisonnant le bouton.The present invention relates to a button cover. The state of the art in the matter can be illustrated, among others, by French patent N ° 2546727 which describes a device comprising two parts which can be assembled to one another by locking the button.
D'une façon générale, les dispositifs existants sont compliqués et coûteux car ils font appel à deux pièces assemblées.In general, existing devices are complicated and expensive because they use two assembled parts.
Le cache-bouton de l'invention, qui remédie à ces inconvénients, est remarquable en ce qu'il est constitué par une pièce creuse dont une face présente une ouverture oblongue, dont la plus grande dimension est, au moins, égale au diamètre du bouton pour permettre l'introduction de ce dernier.The button cover of the invention, which overcomes these drawbacks, is remarkable in that it consists of a hollow part, one face of which has an oblong opening, the largest dimension of which is at least equal to the diameter of the button to allow the introduction of the latter.
La présente invention sera mieux comprise par la description qui va suivre faite en se référant aux dessins annexés à titre d'exemple indicatif seulement sur lesquels :The present invention will be better understood from the following description made with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of indicative example only, in which:
-la figure 1 est une vue, en perspective, montrant le cache-bouton de l'invention vu de dessous ;FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the button cover of the invention seen from below;
-la figure 2 montre, en plan, le cache-bouton en vue de dessous ; -la figure 3 est une vue en coupe effectuée selon la ligne lll-lll de la figure 2 : -les figures 4, 5 et 6 sont des vues analogues à celle 3, montrant la mise en place du cache-bouton sur un bouton ; -la figure 7 est la vue de dessous de la figure 6 ;FIG. 2 shows, in plan, the button cover in view from below; FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line III-III of FIG. 2: FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 are views similar to that 3, showing the positioning of the button cover on a button; FIG. 7 is the bottom view of FIG. 6;
-les figures 8, 9 et 10 sont des vues analogues à celles 4, 5 et 6 montrant un autre mode de réalisation ; -la figure 1 1 est une vue en coupe effectuée selon la ligne XI-XI de la figureFIGS. 8, 9 and 10 are views similar to those 4, 5 and 6 showing another embodiment; FIG 1 1 is a sectional view taken along line XI-XI of the figure
10 ;10;
-la figure 1 2 est une vue analogue à celle 1 1 , montrant une variante de réalisation ;FIG 1 2 is a view similar to that 1 1, showing an alternative embodiment;
-la figure 1 3 est une vue partielle et en perspective montrant un détail du mode de réalisation de la figure 12.FIG. 1 3 is a partial perspective view showing a detail of the embodiment of FIG. 12.
En se reportant aux dessins, on voit que le dispositif de l'invention est constitué, essentiellement, par une pièce 1 creuse se présentant, de préférence, sous la forme d'un boîtier cylindrique comportant une face supérieure 2, une face inférieure 3 et une paroi latérale 4.Referring to the drawings, it can be seen that the device of the invention consists, essentially, of a hollow part 1 which is preferably in the form of a cylindrical casing comprising an upper face 2, a lower face 3 and a side wall 4.
La face 3 présente une ouverture 5, dont la largeur L est au moins égale au diamètre du bouton B à recouvrir. L'ouverture 5 est échancrée en 6 pour tenir compte des fils de fixation du bouton. Le diamètre interne de la pièce 1 est supérieur au diamètre du bouton.The face 3 has an opening 5, the width L of which is at least equal to the diameter of the button B to be covered. The opening 5 is notched at 6 to take account of the button fixing wires. The internal diameter of the part 1 is greater than the diameter of the button.
Pour placer le cache-bouton sur le bouton B qui est cousu sur un support textile (non représenté), on procède comme expliqué ci-dessous.To place the button cover on button B which is sewn on a textile support (not shown), the procedure is as explained below.
Le cache-bouton est disposé comme montré sur la figure 5, sa partie 1 a située en regard de l'échancrure 6 prenant appui sur le support textile, puis on le redresse pour le placer dans la position montrée sur la figure 6 et, enfin, on le repousse selon la flèche F pour amener la bordure 3a sous le bouton et assurer son maintien.The button cover is arranged as shown in FIG. 5, its part 1 a located opposite the notch 6 bearing on the textile support, then it is straightened to place it in the position shown in FIG. 6 and, finally , it is pushed back according to arrow F to bring the border 3a under the button and ensure its maintenance.
Il faut préciser, selon un résultat surprenant, que le support sur lequel est cousu le boutqn tend à appliquer le cache-bouton sous ledit bouton et à le maintenir dans la position représentée sur la figure 6. Une manoeuvre inverse, de celle décrite ci-dessus, est nécessaire pour ôter le cache-bouton, ce qui implique que l'utilisateur doit, à un moment donné, l'incliner par rapport au bouton : il s'agit d'une manœuvre volontaire.It should be specified, according to a surprising result, that the support on which the button is sewn tends to apply the button cover under said button and to maintain it in the position shown in FIG. 6. A reverse maneuver, like that described above, is necessary to remove the button cover, which implies that the user must, at a given moment, tilt it in relation to the button: it is a maneuver voluntary.
Bien que maintenu comme décrit ci-dessus, le cache-bouton est relativement libre de se déplacer selon son plan et une pression intempestive pourrait provoquer un décrochage occasionnel.Although maintained as described above, the button cover is relatively free to move according to its plan and untimely pressure could cause an occasional stall.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la paroi latérale interne 4 présente un renforcement 7, disposé sensiblement à l'opposé de la bordure 3a et situé dans l'angle formé par ladite paroi latérale et la face inférieure 3.According to another characteristic of the invention, the internal side wall 4 has a reinforcement 7, disposed substantially opposite the edge 3a and located in the angle formed by said side wall and the lower face 3.
Le renforcement 7 comporte une face 8 et une paroi 9. Comme cela ressort de la figure 1 1 le renforcement se présente sous la forme d'une lunule et la distance entre le creux de la lunule et la paroi latérale interne est au jeu près, sensiblement égale au diamètre du bouton.The reinforcement 7 has a face 8 and a wall 9. As can be seen from FIG. 11, the reinforcement is in the form of a lunula and the distance between the hollow of the lunula and the internal lateral wall is to the play of play, substantially equal to the diameter of the button.
Comme cela ressort des figures 8 à 10 la mise en place du cache- bouton s'effectue de la même façon que celle décrite précédemment, étant fait observé que la liberté de déplacement dudit cache-bouton est réduite en réduisant, par voie de conséquence, les risques de décrochage intempestif.As is apparent from FIGS. 8 to 10, the positioning of the button cover is carried out in the same way as that described above, it being observed that the freedom of movement of said button cover is reduced by reducing, consequently, the risks of untimely stalling.
Selon une variante, la distance séparant la face 8 du renforcement et la face inférieure 3 décroît de sa partie centrale vers ses extrémités 8a ce qui facilite, par un mouvement de rotation, le passage de la position représentée sur la figure 9 à celle représentée sur la figure 10 et inversement. Selon une autre variante, la paroi latérale interne présente un organe de blocage constitué, par exemple, par une bordure 1 (?, disposée en oblique par rapport aux faces du cache-bouton. De préférence, cette bordure est la continuité de l'une des extrémités de la bordure 3a.According to a variant, the distance separating the face 8 of the reinforcement and the lower face 3 decreases from its central part towards its ends 8a, which facilitates, by a rotational movement, the passage from the position shown in FIG. 9 to that shown on Figure 10 and vice versa. According to another variant, the internal side wall has a blocking member constituted, for example, by a border 1 (?, Arranged obliquely to the faces of the button cover. Preferably, this border is the continuity of one of the ends of the border 3a.
Lorsque le cache-bouton est dans la position montrée sur la figure 1 0, il suffit de le faire pivoter, légèrement, selon la flèche F2 de la figure 1 2 pour que le champ de la bordure 10 rencontre celui du bouton et provoque un coincement (le bouton étant considéré comme immobile sur son support). When the button cover is in the position shown in Figure 1 0, simply rotate it slightly, according to arrow F2 in Figure 1 2 so that the field of the border 10 meets that of the button and causes jamming (the button being considered as immobile on its support).
