Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for fixing a removable fixing tongue which maintains two flexible or deformable surfaces one against the other. The invention finds particular application in the removable fastening of two fabric strips facing each other.

For example, in the case of fabric, two strips are removably secured one against the other by an orifice. An orifice is formed in each strip and matched, into which a fixing member is inserted, at least one end of which comprises a reversible tongue. However, this arrangement requires, in addition to the presence of orifices in the two strips, a fixing member with a check plate or tang at each end, at least one of these check plates and tang for its engagement or disengagement. It is possible to bend it back. These parts are relatively expensive to manufacture;
It may become a fixation or occlusion device only at the cost of added complexity.

Another more economical type of removable fastener is formed by a device having one reversible tang attached to one end of a support shaft whose other end is fixed directly to one of the strips.

This device is of the buttonhole type, requiring only one orifice, and the support shaft itself is preferably flexible;
Although formed, for example, from a tie, the tongue can be of any suitable shape, i.e. circular, rectangular, in the form of a small rod or the like. However, this device cannot include a fastening device, and fastening two fabric strips with such a device is not always reliable.

The purpose of the present invention is to fix a removable fastening tongue of the type that fastens two fabric strips with a fastening device, and for certain applications, to provide an available ( 5) To overcome the drawbacks of sloping by making it a surface.

According to the present invention, the fixing device has an inner surface complementary to the inner surface of the tongue which is opened at the upper surface opposite to the support shaft of the tongue and has a decorative pattern, and a fraction of the outer surface of the tongue is simultaneously attached to the case. It consists of a case with a fixing device supported on said support shaft by engaging close to one part of the tongue below the surface of the tongue so as to contact a corresponding fraction of the inner surface.

Furthermore, the fixing device can be elastically biased in the direction of the support shaft or can firmly grip the case in a predetermined position against the support shaft.

Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of several exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the figures, the same reference numerals indicate the same elements.

Referring now to FIG. 1, a first fabric strip 1 is fixed (6) to a support shaft 2 of a tongue 3 in a flexible fastening structure such as a buttonhole. The tongue 3 can be bent back along the hinge section 4, and the shaft 2 is inserted into the orifice 5 of the second strip 6. In the simplest case of a button, the button acts as a tongue and the shaft 2 is formed by a flexible tie,
The horizontal surface of this button acts as hinge 4. However, in the case of a light fabric strip with a relatively thin button 3, the orifice will stretch or tear and the two strips will no longer be able to be held one against the other.

Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, a possible device according to the invention can be applied to fixing a tongue to a structure such as a diagonal top, with an inner shape complementary to the inner shape of the tongue so as to surround the tongue 3. Case 7 consists of In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the case 7 has the largest hole and its upper surface consists only of a flanged part 8, the purpose of which will be explained later. In this embodiment as well, the fixing device is formed by a movable arm forming a spring, one end of which is fixed at a point (7) on the wall of the case 7, and the other end 10 at a point diametrically opposite to said one end. Projects out and has a suitable length to allow arm movement.
It passes through an elongated hole 11 provided on the entire surface of the case. As mentioned above, the fixing device formed by the movable arm 9 is mounted such that it is elastically biased in the direction of the support shaft 2. In this device, since the tongue 3, for example the button, forms part of the shape shown in FIG. After being pushed back, the tongue 5 comes into contact with the shaft 2 between the lower surface of the tongue 5 and the strip with an elastic restoring force. (not shown in FIGS. 2 to 4) Furthermore, due to the elastic restoring force of the arm 9, a portion 12 of the outer circumferential surface of the tongue 3 is placed under the flange part 8 forming the stop and a corresponding portion of the inner surface of the wall of the case 7. It is biased into contact with the Therefore, tongue 3 is orifice 5
Even if it is loose, it will be fixed in place.

In FIGS. 5-7, only embodiments of the invention without a tongue are shown for clarity of explanation.

In FIG. 5, the fixing device is hinged on the outer surface of the case 7 with its axis 13 perpendicular to a hinge fixed to the entire surface of the case. This member is formed from a small rod with two parallel flanges 14 and 15, the lower flange 15 advantageously consisting of a recess in which the shaft 2 is locked in a fixed position in the direction A--A. A clip or spring (not shown) included in the hinge further holds the rods 14-15 in the active position.

In FIG. 6, a small hinged rod with an axle 13 is also formed by a plate 17;
It is advantageous for the plate to be provided with a recess 16 so as to be movable under the underside of the case 7, preferably with a cage for holding the plate in its working position as described above.

In the two embodiments shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, holes are provided on the upper surface of the case 7, but it is of course possible to create a continuous surface and draw a decorative pattern on this surface.

In FIG. 7, the fixing device is included in the case itself (9), which is formed by two symmetrical parts 1B-19 with respect to the hinge axis I3, around which the parts 1B-19 moves on the hinge. As previously mentioned, the bottom surface (not shown) of the case consists of a concave surface (16), and the top surface of the structure may or may not be provided with holes and may be provided with decorative patterns. Similarly, a member for holding the locking device in the closed or working position may be provided on the hinge or, on the contrary, may take the form of a clip 20.

Referring to FIGS. 8-11, another embodiment of the invention includes two symmetrical parts 21, 22 hinged about an axis 13 and surrounding a tongue or button, button 3 being Kudzu is stopped through buttonhole 23. Part 2
1 , 22 are provided at each end opposite to the axis 13 on the one hand with a convenient lip 24 and on the other hand with a small projecting plate 25 , 26 , the plane of which is perpendicular to the plane of the button 3 . . Plates 25 and 26, when inserted between the lips of hole 23, constitute a fixing device for the part (10) and article 21, 22 in the closed position (see FIGS. 8 and 9). To remove the device, a slight rocking will dislodge the plates 25 and 26 from the holes and the plates can be easily separated with the fingers.

For this purpose, the plates 25, 26 include thin ends 28 which are arranged in front of each other in the closed position (see FIGS. 10 and 11).

The present invention is particularly applicable directly to the jewelry industry. The reason for this is that on the one hand you want to fix the tongue or button, but on the other hand you want to add value to it, or on the other hand you want to decorate the button with a border so as to increase its value from an aesthetic point of view. For example, it can be made from precious amulets.

The present invention is shown and described for illustrative purposes and is not intended to be limited thereto, and may be implemented in any useful variant, particularly in the technical field, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Of course.
