More specifically, in view of this illustrative embodiment, at least the bottom of the support base 16 is formed with the base member 10. The base member 10 can include an optional opening therein (e.g., shown as substantially rectangular or square in Fig. 37) adjacent to the support base 16 and/or receiving a turn therein.

Figure 14 shows another embodiment of the invention in which the base member 10 is integrally formed with the support base 16 of the hook 14. A tool can be used to make a hole during manufacture to form a support base 16 and/or a tube of the base member 10. The ring 18 is coupled to the base member 10 via a support base 16. The base member 10 has an opening or through opening 12 for fastening the base member to the article of clothing or accessory or to itself to one of the trim of a piece of clothing or accessory. The aperture 12 in the base member 10 and the aperture for receiving the collar 18 are in a substantially parallel configuration. That is, one of the openings in the base member 10 is substantially parallel to the axis of the through hole for receiving the support base 16 of the ring. The base member 10 can be fastened to a garment item or accessory or trim using a fastener or cord 22 that passes through one of its openings or through holes 12. For example, the base member 10 can be securely attached to a garment or accessory by a stitching or weaving method (similar to a handle with a handle). Pieces.

15 and 16, 35, and 38 and 39 illustrate an alternative embodiment in which one of the base member 10 and the support base 16 are integrally formed together. As shown in FIG. 38, in one embodiment, the support base 16 can be pre-formed with one open side (or open end) having a hook-like or substantially C-shaped configuration. That is, one side of the support base 16 is open and configured for receiving a turn, for example (not a support base 16 in the form of a closed loop or tube, as shown in Figure 14). A (pre-formed) ring can be aligned with the open end and can be dropped into the support base 16 or inserted and suspended from the support base 16. To align, insert, and capture the loop in the support base 16 of Figure 38, the loop can be moved in a relatively vertical manner relative to one of the at least one opening of the base member into the open end of the support base. The support base 16 is then bent, pressed or deformed in a manner to secure the open end around the loop to capture the loop therein. For example, the open end of the support base 16 can be turned or bent toward the base member 10 to cover and contain the ring. The captured loop is then provided in a plane substantially parallel to the axis of the at least one opening of the base member 10 after moving the open end to a substantially closed position. The base member 10 can have a substantially circular, oval, cylindrical, disc-shaped or rounded shape and/or surface, for example. The base member 10 of Figure 38 has an opening or through opening 12 for fastening the base member to the article of clothing or accessory or to itself to one of the garment items or accessories. A tool can be used to make a hole during manufacture to form a tube of the base member 10. In Figure 38, the aperture 12 in the base member and the aperture for receiving the collar 18 are in a substantially parallel configuration. That is, one of the axes of the openings in the base member 10 and one of the through holes of the support base 16 for receiving the ring are substantially parallel with respect to each other.

As shown in FIG. 39, in another embodiment, the support base 16 has an open side (or end) having a hook-like or substantially C-shaped configuration configured for receiving and capturing. One turn (in a manner similar to that explained above with reference to Figure 38, and therefore need not be repeated here). The base member 10 can have a substantially circular, oval, cylindrical, disc-shaped or rounded shape and/or surface, for example. Base member 10 has an opening Or a through hole 12 for fastening the base member to the article of clothing or accessory. A tool can be used to make a hole during manufacture to form a tube of the base member 10. In this embodiment, the aperture 12 in the base member and the aperture for receiving the collar 18 are substantially vertically configured in one of FIG. That is, one of the axes of the openings in the base member 10 and the one of the through holes of the support base 16 for receiving the ring are substantially perpendicular to each other. To align, insert, and capture the loop in the support base 16 of FIG. 39, the loop can be moved into the open end of the support base in a relatively parallel manner relative to one of the at least one opening of the base member 10. The support base 16 is then bent, pressed or deformed in a manner to secure the open end around the loop to capture the loop therein. For example, the open end of the support base 16 can be turned or bent toward the base member 10 to cover and contain the ring. Then, after moving the open end to a substantially closed position, the capture loop is provided in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the axis of at least one opening of the base member 10.

The base member 10 of Figures 38 and 39 can be fastened to a garment item or accessory using a fastener or cord 22 through its opening or through hole 12 or attached to one of the garment items or accessories. For example, the base member 10 can be securely attached to a garment or accessory by a stitching or weaving method (similar to a handle with a handle). As described above, a tool can be used to make a hole during manufacture to form a tube of the base member 10 of one or both of Fig. 38 or Fig. 39, or the hole can be molded.

Figure 35 shows an alternate embodiment of the present invention in which the base member 10 and the support base 16 are integrally formed. The ring 18 is coupled to the base member 10 via a support base 16. The base member 10 has an opening or through opening 12 for fastening the base member to the article of clothing or accessory or to itself to one of the trim of a piece of clothing or accessory. The base member 10 can be fastened to a garment item or accessory or trim using a fastener or cord 22 that passes through one of its openings or through holes 12.

Figure 15 shows another embodiment of the invention similar to the embodiment of Figure 14, wherein the base member 10 has two openings 12 for fastening the base member 10 to a garment item or accessory or to itself attached to a clothing item or One of the accessories is trimmed. Figure 16 shows yet another embodiment having a unitary base member 10 and a support base 16 integrally formed therein, wherein the base member 10 has four Openings 12 are used to secure the base member to the article of clothing or accessory or to attach itself to a trim of a garment item or accessory.

17 through 20 show an example of a base member 10 having a integrally formed support base 16. 17 shows an embodiment in which the base member 10 has two openings 12 and a support base 16 formed by having a bottom portion of the base member 10 bent upwardly and along an annular path to have a greater than loop 18 One of the diameters of the generally cylindrical structure is formed to be secured thereto to the ring 18 (e.g., such as shown in Figure 20). Figure 18 shows another embodiment including a base member 10 having a support base 16 extending therefrom. A tool can be used to push a section outwardly during manufacture to form a tube that supports the base 16. One of the loops 18 can be accessed from the back side of one of the base members 10 when provided in the support base 16. In another embodiment, the base member 10 and the support base 16 are molded. In an alternate embodiment, the support base 16 can be attached (eg, welded or bonded) to the base member 10. Figure 19 shows yet another embodiment in which the base member 10 is integrally formed with the support base 16 and has two openings 12 for attachment to a garment item or a fitting or itself to a garment item or accessory. Solid together. A tool can be used to make a hole during manufacture to form a tube that supports the base 16.

21 and 22 show perspective views of an alternate embodiment of the present invention. The base member 10 is provided in the form of a rivet cap that is configured to be coupled to (e.g., a fastening device 22) a corresponding rivet portion to secure the hook 14 thereto. Thus, the attachment of the base member 10 to the hook 14 can be attached to a garment item or accessory, for example, by fastening the material or fabric between the base member 10 and the hook 14 to secure the device to the article of clothing or accessory or to itself. A trim. For example, a fastener 22 (having a portion of a rivet connection) can be coupled to the support base 16 at one end and configured to be pushed through the material (eg, through a region or opening in the material) and The base member 10 is then used to secure or close for assembly.

As shown in FIG. 21, the base member 10 or the rivet cap includes an opening 12 (similar to the opening of a push nut) that can be attached to a hole, a through hole, or an opening of one of the protrusions, for example. In order to receive and connect to at least a portion of the fastener 22. The fastener 22 can be in the form of a needle or wire that, for example, forms a needle-like tip or a pointed end to facilitate attachment of a garment item or accessory or itself to a garment item or accessory. A edging of the edging does not damage the fabric or other material and facilitates passage through the article of clothing or accessory or trim for attachment and fastening to the base member 10. The opening 12 is configured to receive and engage at least a portion of the fastener 22 associated with the hook 14. For example, the fastener 22 can be attached to the support base 16 at one end and an optional detent 28 at the other end. The catch 28 can be aligned and traverse the opening 12 of the base member 10 to connect the support base 16 to the base member 10. For example, as shown in detail in FIG. 23, the detent 28 has a width that is slightly wider than the diameter of its own body and opening 12 such that once it has been pushed through and/or urged through the opening 12 of the base member 10, It is grasped and locked in engagement with the opening. For example, the dice 28 can be substantially triangular. However, the shape of the latch 28 and the shape of the opening in which the latch is received and locked are not limited. In one embodiment, the fasteners 22 are grasped or gripped by the projections when attached to the projections in the opening 12 of the base member 10.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 22, the fastener 22 can be attached to the rivet cap of the base member 10 at one end and has an optional detent 28 at the other end. The hook 14 has a connection opening 40 (e.g., in the support base 16) that is configured to receive at least one end of the latch 28 associated with the base member 10. The attachment opening 40 can be a hole, a through hole or an opening having a projection similar to the opening of a push nut, for example. A connection opening 40 can be provided in the support base 16, for example. The latch 28 can be aligned and traversed by a garment item or accessory or attached to a trim of a garment item or accessory and then into the attachment opening 40 of the hook 14 for locking therewith. In one embodiment, the fasteners 22 are grasped or gripped by the projections when attached to the projections in the opening 40.

In another embodiment, the fastener 22, or a portion thereof, can be deformed or squeezed when attached to the base member 10 of Figure 21 or Figure 22.

In one embodiment, the support base 16 of Figure 21 or Figure 22 is pre-formed with an open side (or end) and have a substantially C-shaped configuration. For example, referring to the embodiment shown in FIG. 21, it is contemplated that in one embodiment, the support base 16 has an opening or slot on a side substantially opposite the fastener 22. Referring to the embodiment shown in FIG. 22, it is contemplated that in one embodiment, the support base 16 has an opening or slot on one side that is substantially opposite the opening 40. That is, instead of being in the form of a closed loop or tube, one portion of the support base 16 is open and configured for receiving a (preformed) loop, for example. A loop 18 can be inserted through the support base 16 or snapped into the support base via the slot in any configuration. The support base 16 is then bent, squeezed or deformed in a manner to secure the open end around the loop to capture the loop 18 therein.

The rivet cap of the base member 10 and the support base 16 of at least the hook 14 may be made of a hard metal (eg, tungsten carbide, zinc, nickel, silver) or other material (eg, plastic) that will support the buckle The piece 22 (or a portion thereof) is bent or bent longitudinally in an opening to secure to a garment item or accessory or to itself attached to one of the garment items or accessories and does not distort the support base 16 to seal the rivet assembly One of the required forces in the proper position. For example, in an embodiment, the fastener 22 is configured to flex as it is inserted into the opening 12 of the base member 10 or the attachment opening 40 of the hook 14. For example, the fastener 22 can be formed as one of more than one material to split the mixed metal wire. In one embodiment, the wire includes a portion of a relatively stiff material (eg, zinc) that retains its shape and is relatively weak to be bendable to seal the rivet (eg, base member 10 and support base 16) together. One part of the material (for example, copper). In another embodiment, for example, the fastener 22 includes a design that is configured to split one of the spliced wires and push the rivet cap or hook 14 thereon after insertion into the garment. However, the fastener 22 does not have to be split into two parts; it can be split into multiple sides, or another selection system that does not have to split at all, but rather bends in one or more directions within the opening 12 or 40.

As previously described, according to an embodiment, the opening 12 and/or opening 40 can be configured to be coupled and locked with the fastener 22 by grasping or gripping the fastener 22 therein. Although the dice 28 are shown in a form larger than one end of the main body in FIGS. 21 to 23, there is no In the case of a special end configuration, the fastener 22 can be received and grasped by the projection. For example, a bolt or rod can be captured by a protrusion in an opening. Therefore, a dice 28 may or may not be provided. For example, in one embodiment, a push nut or cap nut (or similar feature) is used to attach the base member 10 to the hook 14. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the push nut continues to slide for installation, but removal of such push nuts typically requires damage in the program. The push nut features an angled projection or tooth that is designed to grip a side that is fastened to one of its bolts or rods. Similar protrusions or teeth may be provided within the opening 12 and/or opening 40 to grip the fastener 22. This push nut configuration does not require a shaft member or a bolt or any portion of the body of the fastener 22 to be modified for use. Since there is no special requirement for gripping, a push nut can be used to attach to a plurality of shaft members. Thus, the portion associated with the base member 10 and/or the hook 14 can be formed in a similar manner. The fastener 22 can be formed from plastic or metal, for example.

In addition, less movement and work is required to attach portions that have a configuration as one of the same push nuts, thus making program automation easier. For example, one of the sides of the push nut opening 12 or 40 to the two dimples press into the body of the fastener 22 and securely hold the connected portion in place. Alternatively, there may be a series of protrusions or teeth for holding the connections shown in Figures 21 and 22.

Moreover, since the thin wires are generally rupturable, a snap or grip connection between the base member 10 and the hooks 14 (such as the use of protrusions in the openings 12 or 40 similar to their projections provided by a push nut) ) can be advantageous. There is also a reduced amount of time required to connect the base member 10 and the hook 14 to the replacement machine (or portion thereof) of the article or accessory.

A push nut closure, such as the closures described above, provides a striking and secure member covering the top of the exposed assembly. The push nut can be made from a variety of metals/alloys, in a variety of shapes and with various covers (including rhinestone, mother-of-pearl, etc.) and/or can be painted to match one of the colors of a garment or accessory. Therefore, the base member 10 or the hook 14 (or a portion thereof, for example, opening 12 or 40) may be formed with similar features of a push nut.

According to yet another embodiment, the rivet cap acts as a closure 24 to be used with a base member 10. The closure member 24 can be separated from the base member 10 as a component. The closure 24 secures the hook 14 to the base member 10. For example, the base member 10 and the hook 14 can be fastened to a garment item or accessory or attached to one of the garment items or accessories, and the rivet cap can be coupled to the support base 16 and/or a fastening device 22 Attached or fastened together. In one embodiment, the base member 10 and the closure member 24 in the form of a rivet cap are designed to secure the material or fabric between the base member 10 and the closure member 24. In another embodiment, for example, the base member 10 can be provided on the same side as the rivet cap such that the fastening device 22 coupled to the support base 16 at one end is inserted through the material of the article or accessory or The fabric is then passed through the base member 10 (eg, using a through hole 12) and secured with the rivet cap.

24 shows a perspective view of yet another embodiment of a stud configured to be bent or crimped for attachment to one of a garment item or accessory. The stud can be attached to a base member 10 like a fastener 22 or can itself act as a base member 10. A stud has a top portion or head and one or more legs extending therefrom, the legs being configured to be folded and/or bent for attachment or fastening (eg, , to a clothing item or accessory). One or more of the studs are configured to secure the hook 14 to a garment item or accessory. In an embodiment, the studless cord has a first end or head configured to be coupled to the support base 16 and configured to serve as a means for tightening the base member 10 and thus the attached hook 14 A base member 10 secured to a second end of one of the closure members 24 (e.g., one or more legs) of one of the items of clothing or accessories (see, for example, Figure 24). In an embodiment, the studs are integrally formed on the support base 16.

The stud or base member 10 can be formed from a wire having sufficient tensile strength to hold the hook 14 in place after the wire has been bent. The wires can be spliced to split into one, two or more directions after they are inserted into the garment or accessory, thereby securing the holder at a suitable location on the garment or accessory.

For example, as shown in FIG. 25, the wire may have two legs configured to be inserted through at least one piece of clothing or accessory for attaching the holder to the item or accessory. The legs are configured to bend through a force away from each other and toward one of the surfaces of the material, as indicated by the arrows. Figure 26 shows an example after bending the legs of the wire, wherein the legs are substantially in the same plane.

Figures 27 through 31 show an alternative to a stud. For example, as shown in Figure 27, a stud can have one leg that is configured to bend in any number of ways (see Figures 28 and 29). Moreover, in another embodiment, the stud includes two or more legs configured to flex to secure the hook 14 to at least a garment item or accessory. For example, the wire may include four legs as shown in Figure 30 or six legs as shown in Figure 31.

According to an embodiment, the hook 14 is configured to be secured to the base member 10 using one or more legs of the stud. That is, the headless staples can have a fastener 22 configured for attachment to one end of the base member 10 and configured for attachment to a second end of the support base 16. In one embodiment, the studless leg is inserted through the opening 12 in the base member 10 and the base member 10 is for insertion or attachment (eg, stitching, weaving or bonding) to a garment item or accessory Or attach itself to one of the clothing items or accessories. For example, one end of the stud can be coupled to the support base 16 such that its closed leg extends through one of the through holes 12 of the base member 10. In an embodiment, the stud is integrally formed on the support base 16.

In another embodiment, the base member 10 is stitched, woven or bonded over the curved wire portion to one side of the garment or fitting opposite the hook 14 to substantially cover the curved wire portion and thereby prevent and avoid bending the metal The wire portion contacts the skin of the wearer's wearer or obstructs another item placed on the accessory or trim.

Figure 32 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention. The base member 10 can be similar to, for example, one of a shape or form of one or more openings 12 or one of the through holes. Or form provided. In this embodiment, the base member 10 has four openings 12; however, any number of openings can be provided. The ring 18 is attached to the top of the base member 10 via a support base 16.

The support base 16 can have a tubular configuration with one of the through holes or slots for the receiving ring 18. In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 40, a support base 16 is provided on one portion of the base member 10 for attachment ring 18. In the position shown in Figure 40, the support base 16 (and thus the ring 18) can be viewed as being positioned on top of or adjacent to one of the base members 10 (see, for example, Figure 32). However, it should be understood that the base member 10 can be flipped or rotated to another position to move the holder or ring 18. For example, the base member 10 can be rotated 180 degrees when the base member 10 is attached to a garment item or accessory to position the support base 16 near a bottom such that the loop 18 (when attached) is relatively lower than the base The component 10 is suspended.

The support base 16 of Figure 40 can be pre-formed with an open end or side having a hook-like or substantially C-shaped configuration configured to receive a turn (to be similar to one previously described) The way, for example, is in Figure 38). That is, instead of being in the form of a closed loop or tube, one of the top ends of the support base 16 is open and configured for receiving a turn, for example. A (pre-formed) ring can be aligned with the open end and inserted and suspended from the support base 16. The support base 16 is then bent, pressed or deformed in a manner to secure the open end around the loop to capture the loop therein. The base member 10 is provided in a shape or form similar to the shape or form having a substantially circular, oval, cylindrical, disc-shaped or rounded shape and/or one of the buttons, for example. The base member 10 or button may be provided with one or more openings 12 or through holes. In this embodiment, the base member 10 has four openings 12 aligned in a central portion thereof and positioned in a substantially rectangular or square configuration of corners; however, any number of openings may be provided. A ring 18 (not shown) is attached to the top of the base member 10 via a support base 16. The loop can be positioned relative to the base member 10 (or button) such that it hangs in the front of the button, partially under the button or over the button, for example.

Figure 33 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention. Instead of being attached to a rear face or a back of a base member, as shown in Figures 6 and 7 and Figure 42, for example, the ring 18 can be attached to the front portion of the base member 10. The base member 10 can be in the form of one of a form similar to one or more openings 12 or one of the through holes. In this embodiment, the base member 10 has two openings 12; however, any number of openings may be provided. The ring 18 is attached to the front of one of the base members 10 via a support base 16. Figure 41 illustrates a perspective view of the base member 10 shown in Figure 33, in accordance with an embodiment. As shown, the support base 16 can be configured to extend from a front portion (or a front face) of the base member 10. That is, the support base 16 may be formed (eg, integrally formed) with or coupled to the front of one of the base members 10 such that the support base 16 extends from the front thereof such that the support base 16 is passed The aperture or opening is configured to receive a turn 18 and position the collar 18 in the front. In the position shown in Figure 41, the support base 16 (and thus the ring 18) can be viewed as being positioned on top of or adjacent to one of the front portions of the base member 10. However, it should be understood that the base member 10 can be flipped or rotated to another position to move the ring 18 or retainer. For example, the base member 10 can be rotated 180 degrees when the base member 10 is attached to a garment item or accessory or attached to one of the garment items or accessories to position the support base 16 near a bottom. So that the loop 18 (when attached) is suspended relative to the base member 10 (and extends relatively from its front).

To secure either of the designs of Fig. 32 or Fig. 33 with a garment item, a garment or accessory, or itself attached to a trim of a garment item or accessory, an opening or through opening 12 can be used. For example, the base member 10 can be sewn or woven to a garment or accessory using a fastener or string 22 or a thin line through the opening 12 or attached to one of the trims of a garment item or accessory. For example, the base member 10 can be securely attached to a garment or accessory or trim by a stitching or weaving method.
