Abstract

The invention concerns an eyelet (O) of the type constituted by two half-shells ( 100 and 200 ) assembled by clipsage used as border and/or reinforcement of perforations in curtains, textiles or similar materials, the two half-shells ( 100 and 200 ) coming mutually into grasp by clipsage, one of the two half-shells ( 100 and 200 ) having a plurality of fins ( 120 ) projecting from its face turned towards the interior of the other half-shell ( 200 ) and the points ( 121 ) of which are introduced into the circular annular groove ( 220 ) laid out for this purpose in the interior surface of the other half-shell ( 200 ). This eyelet is notably characterized in that the aforementioned fins ( 120 ) have a body adopting a polygonal cross-section.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An eyelet of the type constituted by two half-shells assembled by clipsage used as border and/or reinforcement of perforations in curtains, textiles or similar materials, the two half-shells coming mutually into grasp by clipsage, one of the two half-shells having a plurality of fins projecting from its face turned towards the interior of the other half-shell and the points of which are introduced into a circular annular groove laid out for this purpose in the interior surface of the other half-shell, CHARACTERIZED BY THE FACT THAT the aforementioned fins have a body with continuous polygonal cross-section terminated by a point and that a part of the body of the continuous cross-section is introduced into the annular groove when the two half shells are in the assembled state. 
   
   
       2 . The eyelet according to  claim 1 , CHARACTERIZED BY THE FACT THAT the aforementioned fins have a first end coupled to the interior surface of a half-shell and a second end that is terminated by a point adopting the shape of a pyramid. 
   
   
       3 . The eyelet according to  claim 1 , CHARACTERIZED BY THE FACT THAT a part of the polygonal body of the aforementioned fins is introduced into the aforementioned annular groove. 
   
   
       4 . The eyelet according to  claim 3 , CHARACTERIZED BY THE FACT THAT the cross-section of the fins is quadrangular and that the aforementioned fins are oriented in a manner such that the flat surfaces of the fins are in contact with the cylindrical surfaces of the annular groove and the other half-shell. 
   
   
       5 . The eyelet according to  claim 1 , CHARACTERIZED BY THE FACT THAT one of the two half-shells has at its outer rim a plurality of teeth projecting from its interior face. 
   
   
       6 . The eyelet according to  claim 1 , CHARACTERIZED BY THE FACT THAT each half-shell includes a cylindrical projection around the hole, the border of which they secure, the cylindrical projections being preformed having complementary shapes to clip into each other, a half-shell being preformed having projecting stops guiding the end of the clipsage movement. 
   
   
       7 . The eyelet according to  claim 6 , CHARACTERIZED BY THE FACT THAT the end not coupled to the half-shell having the aforementioned stops is preformed having an inclined plane oriented such that, during the movement in translation of the clipsage operation, the deformation of the complementary part of the half-shell tending to separate it from the center is guided to return the aforementioned complementary shape towards the center. 
   
   
       8 . The eyelet according to  claim 1 , CHARACTERIZED BY THE FACT THAT at least a half-shell is preformed to have an annular groove on its exterior surface. 
   
   
       9 . The eyelet according to  claim 1 , CHARACTERIZED BY THE FACT THAT it is fabricated in ABS. 
   
   
       10 . The eyelet according to  claim 1 , CHARACTERIZED BY THE FACT THAT it is characterized in that the aforementioned fins have a continuous polygonal cross-section terminated by a point and that a part of the body having continuous cross-section is introduced into the annular groove when the half shells are in the assembled state
 that one of the two half-shells has at its outer rim a plurality of teeth projecting from its interior face, and   that each half-shell includes a cylindrical projection around the hole of which they secure the border, the cylindrical projections being preformed having complementary shapes to clip into each other, a half-shell being preformed having projecting stops guiding the end of the clipsage movement.
