AI Technical Summary
Existing buttonholes tend to enlarge and deform after repeated use, resulting in a loose connection between the button and the buttonhole, making it easy for the button to come off and affecting the functionality and lifespan of the garment.
By introducing elastic material and fasteners into the buttonhole, the elastic material spans the two long sides of the buttonhole, and the tension generated by the elastic material's stretching and buffering factor ensures a reliable connection between the button and the buttonhole.
Even if the buttonhole becomes larger and deformed after repeated use, it can still reliably secure the button, prevent it from coming off, and improve the reliability and lifespan of the garment.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing, and in particular to a buttonhole for connecting to a button. Background Technology
[0002] Buttonholes are eyelets used in conjunction with buttons and are widely used in various types of clothing. Buttons are inserted into the buttonhole from the back and protrude from the front, connecting different parts of the garment. Most buttonholes on the market are created by drilling holes where buttons are secured and then sewing the edges together. However, after repeated use, the eyelets can enlarge and deform, making the connection between the button and the buttonhole unreliable. Under the external force of daily activities, the button can easily fall out of the buttonhole. For garments where the reliability of the button-button connection is crucial, such as summer shirts, a loose connection between the button and the buttonhole, resulting in the button falling out, can be embarrassing for the wearer. In addition, for some thicker garments, such as cotton-padded coats and winter loungewear, the buttonholes bear greater tension after being fastened due to the thickness of the clothing. If the buttonholes become larger or deformed, it is difficult to reliably secure the buttons, causing the garment parts connecting the buttons and buttonholes to easily separate, affecting the functionality of the garment and reducing its lifespan. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a buttonhole that prevents buttons from coming off. Even after the buttonhole has been used multiple times and the eyelet has become larger and deformed, it can still reliably hold the button in place, ensuring that the garment parts connecting the button and the buttonhole do not separate during normal use.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a buttonhole, comprising a slender buttonhole body, an elastic material connecting the two long sides of the buttonhole, and a fastener for fixing the elastic material to the buttonhole material.
[0005] Alternatively, an elastic material may be laid across the two long sides of the eye socket body.
[0006] Optionally, the number of elastic materials shall not be less than one.
[0007] Optionally, the sum of the widths of the elastic material should not exceed the length of the long side of the eyelet body, so that the button can be fastened into the buttonhole.
[0008] Optionally, the fastener is sewing thread.
[0009] Alternatively, the elastic material can be sewn onto the eyelet material using sewing thread.
[0010] Optionally, an overlock stitch can be sewn around the perimeter of the eyehole body to secure the edge of the eyehole and prevent it from coming undone.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the buttonhole provided by this utility model can still fix the button by the elastic material spanning between the buttonholes after the buttonholes have been used many times and the eyelets have become larger and deformed. Furthermore, the elastic material's stretching and shrinking cushions the tension caused by the wearer's daily activities, ensuring a reliable connection between the button and the buttonhole. The button will not fall out of the buttonhole, preventing embarrassment for the wearer and extending the lifespan of the garment. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the front structure of the buttonhole in an embodiment of this utility model.
[0014] The attached diagram is labeled as follows: 1 is the eyelet body, 2 is the locking edge, 3 is the elastic material, 4 is the fastener, and 5 is the eyelet material.
[0015] The symbols are defined as follows: y is the major axis of the eye socket body, x1 is the major axis of elastic material 1, x2 is the major axis of elastic material 2, and z is the minor axis of the eye socket body. Detailed Implementation
[0016] The purpose of this invention is to provide a buttonhole that can reliably hold the button in place even after the buttonhole has been used multiple times, enlarged, and deformed, ensuring that the garment component connecting the button and the buttonhole does not separate during normal use.
[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0018] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The buttonhole provided by this utility model includes a buttonhole body (1), a serration (2) sewn around the periphery of the buttonhole body (1), an elastic material (3) connecting the two long sides of the buttonhole, and a fastener (4) fixing the elastic material to the buttonhole material (5). The elastic material (3) spans the two long sides of the buttonhole body (1), and the fastener (4) is sewing thread, which fixes both ends of the elastic material (3) to the buttonhole material (5). The elastic material (3) can be a commonly used elastic band, and there are two of them. The sum of the widths of the two elastic materials (3) is approximately 50% of the long side of the buttonhole body (1), facilitating the button to be fastened into the buttonhole from the remaining part of the buttonhole. The elastic materials (3) are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the long side of the buttonhole body (1) along the short axis z of the buttonhole. The angles between the long axes x1 and x2 of the two elastic materials (3) and the long axis y of the buttonhole body are both 90°.
[0019] For eyelets made in multi-layered fabrics, elastic material can be sandwiched between the layers of fabric, and then the two ends of the elastic material can be fixed to the material with the eyelet using sewing thread, thus hiding the ends of the elastic material inside the garment and improving the garment's appearance.
[0020] When using the button, insert it into the buttonhole from the back and exit from the front. During this process, the elastic material stretches, adding a slight resistance that is almost imperceptible and does not affect the user experience. After the button is fastened, the stretched elastic material returns to its original shape, reducing the size of the buttonhole and improving the reliability of the button's fit. Simultaneously, the elastic material's expansion and contraction cushions the tension caused by the wearer's daily activities, ensuring the button is reliably secured in the buttonhole and will not slip out.
[0021] Once the button is fastened into the buttonhole, the elastic material will be completely covered by the button, without affecting the appearance of the garment.
[0022] This example is only for the purpose of facilitating the understanding of the technical solution of this utility model and does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of this utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above solution without departing from the content of the technical solution of this utility model or based on the technical essence of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
