Button having plastic resin head

Abstract

A button comprising a button head of plastic resin formed with a cavity having an internally expanded portion, and a metallic leg piece including a generally disc-shaped base larger in diameter than the inlet of the cavity and at least one leg upstanding from the disc-shaped base, said base being fitted in the internally expanded portion through the narrow inlet of the cavity.

I claim: 
     
       1. An attaching button for attaching a fastener member to a fabric by the application of a mechanical force comprising: a button head of rigid polyester resin with an outer surface and an internal cavity having an inlet and an internally expanded surface, and   a metallic leg piece comprised of a generally hollow base and at least one leg, said base being generally circular in cross section and having an outer periphery at least slight larger in diameter than the inlet of the cavity, said base having a first surface shaped to complement the internal surface of said cavity and a second generally flat annular surface, said at least one leg extending outwardly from said second base surface .[.proximate the outer periphery thereof.]..   
     
     
       2. A button according to claim 1, wherein said cavity has a curved internal surface and said base has a complementary first surface. 
     
     
       3. A button according to claim 2, wherein said polyester resin is a thermoset polyester resin. 
     
     
       4. A button according to claim 3, wherein said button head has a design. 
     
     
       5. A button according to claim 2, wherein said disc-shaped base is an integral part of said leg piece. 
     
     
       6. A button according to claim 2, wherein said disc-shaped base is a separate but fixedly supported part. 
     
     
       7. A button according to claim 1, wherein said polyester resin is a thermoset polyester resin. 
     
     
       8. A button according to claim 7, wherein said button head has a design. 
     
     
       9. A button according to claim 1, wherein said disc-shaped base is an integral part of said leg piece. 
     
     
       10. A button according to claim 1, wherein said disc-shaped base is a separate but fixedly supported part. .Iadd. 
     
     
       11.  A button according to claim 1 wherein said at least one leg extends outwardly from said second base surface proximate the outer periphery thereof. .Iaddend. .Iadd.12. A button according to claim 1 wherein said second base surface has an inner periphery and said at least one leg extends outwardly from said second base surface proximate the inner periphery thereof. .Iaddend.
