Two-component tack button

Abstract

A tack button 10 comprised of one component constituted as a cap 14 bounding a compartment 34 and as a second component a tack 12 undergoing an operative position of movement resulting in a free end 36 of the tack expanding 38 into the cap compartment 34 to hold the tack button 10 in place.

1 . A two-component tack button serving as a front closure of a jeans article of manufacture comprising:
 A. as one component a cap in the flat delimited as a circular head with a concentric array of progressively larger diameter circles providing a configuration effective to maintain a circular shape in a horizontal plane;   B. at least a first selected fabric ply of said jeans article of manufacture having an operative position in surface-to-surface contact with said circular head of said cap   C. at least a second selected fabric ply of said jeans article of manufacture in adjacent relation beneath said first selected fabric ply and having edges therein bounding a button hole;   D. as a cooperating second component to said first component cap a tack in the flat delimited as a circular base in facing relation to said cap circular head with said first and second fabric plies in an interposed position therebetween and a stem extending from said tack circular base having an operative position disposed through said button hole effective to hold said first and second fabric plies in connected relation to each other;   E. an operative position of movement of a free end of said tack from a clearance position into a position of contact with a surface bounding a compartment within said cap; and   F. a movement-induced expansion in said free end of said tack within said compartment of an extent contributing to obviating reverse direction movement of said tack from said compartment;   
     whereby said tack button serves as a front closure of said jeans article of manufacture with only two-components constituting the construction thereof.
