Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing accessories technology, and more specifically, to a button and clothing. Background Technology

[0002] Buttons, as an indispensable component in clothing and other fields, have occupied an important place in the history of human clothing.

[0003] In terms of coloring stainless steel buttons, the existing technology is to directly electroplate the stainless steel buttons, or to first coat the surface of the stainless steel buttons with a layer of copper using electroplating, chemical deposition or other methods.

[0004] However, these existing technologies have significant drawbacks. When coating stainless steel surfaces with copper using methods such as electroplating and chemical deposition, it is difficult to ensure uniform distribution of the coating, and the adhesion between the coating and the stainless steel substrate is weak, making it prone to peeling off.

[0005] In conclusion, how to solve the problem of limited color options due to the difficulty in electroplating and coloring stainless steel buttons is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a button and garment that effectively solves the problem of limited color due to the difficulty in electroplating and coloring stainless steel buttons.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A button, comprising a main body, wherein...

[0009] The first color layer is pressed onto both surfaces of the main body in the thickness direction;

[0010] The main body is a stainless steel layer; the first color layer is a layer of other metal material with a hardness lower than that of the main body.

[0011] A mixing layer is provided between each of the first color layers and the main body portion, and the mixing layer is a metal material mixing layer of the main body portion and the first color layer;

[0012] The sum of the thicknesses of the first color layer and the mixed layer is 5%-20% of the thickness of the main body.

[0013] Preferably, the main body has a peripheral side surface where the first color layer is not disposed.

[0014] Preferably, the first color layer is easier to color than the main body portion, or the first color layer has a different color than the main body portion.

[0015] Preferably, the sum of the thicknesses of the first color layer and the mixed layer is 7%-13% of the thickness of the main body.

[0016] Preferably, the mixed layer is formed by composite rolling.

[0017] Preferably, the first color layer is a copper layer.

[0018] Preferably, it further includes a second color layer, which covers the entire exterior of the main body and the combination of the first color layer.

[0019] Preferably, the second color layer is an electroplated layer.

[0020] Preferably, a color transition area is provided on the peripheral side surface.

[0021] A garment comprising the buttons described in any of the preceding claims.

[0022] The button provided by this utility model allows the two surfaces of the metal body that are not easy to electroplate or color to obtain a first color layer that is easy to electroplate or color, thus solving the problem that the body is not easy to electroplate or color. At the same time, the body part located in the body part presents different colors, enriching the button's color options.

[0023] The further solutions provided in this application can also achieve at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] The physical pressing process forms a hybrid layer, which strengthens the bond between the stainless steel and copper layers and avoids the problems of uneven coating and easy peeling caused by electroplating and chemical deposition methods.

[0025] By ensuring that the sum of the thicknesses of the first color layer and the mixed layer is 5%-20% of the thickness of the main body, the problem of copper layer cracking caused by excessively low thickness is avoided, while the cost increase caused by excessively high thickness is also avoided.

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains. The terms "first," "second," and similar words used in this utility model do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance. Terms such as "connected" or "linked" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are used only to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly. This application discloses a button and clothing.

[0036] The core of this utility model is to provide a button and clothing.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 .

[0038] It should be noted beforehand that, along the thickness direction of the button, the outer side is called the outer surface 5, and the inner side is called the inner surface 6.

[0039] The button provided by this utility model includes a main body 1, on which a first color layer 2 is pressed onto both surfaces in the thickness direction. The main body 1 is made of stainless steel, and the first color layer 2 is made of another metal material with a hardness lower than that of the main body 1. A mixing layer 3 is provided between each first color layer 2 and the main body 1, and the mixing layer 3 is a mixture of the metal materials of the main body 1 and the first color layer 2. The sum of the thicknesses of the first color layer 2 and the mixing layer 3 is 5%-20% of the thickness of the main body 1.

[0040] Specifically, the first color layer 2 is respectively disposed on the outer surface 5 and the inner surface 6, and is disposed on the main body 1 by physical pressing. The main body 1 is made of a metal that is not easy to electroplate or color. Considering the hardness of the button, the material of the main body 1 is preferably stainless steel. Stainless steel has high hardness and is relatively wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant. The first color layer 2 is a layer of other metal material with a lower hardness than the main body 1, and the first color layer is a material that is easy to electroplate or color, so that the stainless steel button that is not easy to color will at least partially present a different color, or the color of the first color layer 2 is different from that of the main body 1. The first color layer 2 is directly used as a decorative color, making the color of the button richer.

[0041] A hybrid layer 3, composed of a mixture of the metal materials of the main body 1 and the first color layer 2, is provided between the main body 1 and the first color layer 2. This structure allows the main body 1 and the first color layer 2 to be tightly connected through the hybrid layer 3. The hybrid layer 3 can be formed by mixing the metal materials of the main body 1 and the first color layer 2 through physical pressing or other methods. This hybrid layer 3 enhances the bonding force between the main body 1 and the first color layer 2, ensuring that the first color layer 2 is firmly bonded to the main body 1. For example, the hybrid layer between a stainless steel body and a copper layer is composed of stainless steel and copper materials. The hybrid layer can more effectively connect the main body and the first color layer 2.

[0042] Furthermore, the sum of the thicknesses of the first color layer 2 and the mixed layer 3 is 5%-20% of the thickness of the main body 1. Within this range, the normal function of the metal button can be guaranteed, while also ensuring that the button has a sufficiently thick first color layer 2 for stable and effective coloring, thus meeting the button's design requirements.

[0043] Specifically, through experiments comparing the sum of the thicknesses of the first color layer and the mixed layer with the thickness of the main body, it can be seen that when the thickness ratio is less than 4%, the copper layer at the bending point is prone to cracking during button manufacturing; when the thickness ratio is greater than 5%, the above situation will not occur, and the larger the thickness ratio, the less likely the copper layer will crack. However, if the thickness ratio is too large, the cost will increase. Therefore, the thickness ratio of this solution is set at 5%-20%.

[0044] The aforementioned buttons effectively solve the problem of limited color options caused by the difficulty in coloring existing stainless steel buttons. They not only ensure the buttons' wear resistance and corrosion resistance, but also offer a wider variety of colors and better visual depth, while reducing production costs and increasing production efficiency, thus meeting the market's demand for diverse buttons.

[0045] The button provided by this utility model will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0046] In one specific embodiment, the first color layer 2 is a copper layer. Copper is easier to electroplate and color than stainless steel, and the hardness of the first color layer 2 is lower than that of the main body. The first color layer 2 can also be replaced by other metals that are easy to electroplate or color and have relatively low hardness, such as zinc alloy. The first color layer 2 is applied to the outer and inner surfaces of the main body 1 by physical pressing.

[0047] Furthermore, the mixed layer 3 is formed by composite rolling. This allows the main body 1 and the first color layer 2 to be firmly connected together through the mixed layer, resulting in high production efficiency. Other physical methods can also be used to form the mixed layer, as long as a good bonding effect can be ensured.

[0048] Based on any of the above embodiments, the main body 1 has a peripheral side 7 on which the first color layer 2 is not provided.

[0049] Specifically, the central part of the button's peripheral side 7 is a stainless steel body 1, and its surface is not covered with the first color layer 2. When the button is installed on clothing, the inner and outer sides of the button and the peripheral side 7 can present different colors, making the overall color of the button more layered when viewed from the side. The peripheral side of the button, which is more frequently bumped, can also maintain certain wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant properties, reducing the impact of bumps on the peripheral side of the button.

[0050] Based on any of the above embodiments, the first color layer 2 is easier to color than the main body 1, or the color of the first color layer 2 is different from that of the main body 1.

[0051] Specifically, the first color layer 2 is easier to color than the main body 1, allowing the stainless steel main body 1, which is not easily electroplated or colored, to change its own color with the help of the easier-to-color first color layer 2, thus changing the surface color of the stainless steel button part. Alternatively, if the first color layer 2 is a different color from the main body 1, the button can present different colors, enhancing its aesthetics.

[0052] Based on any of the above embodiments, through trial production effect testing and comprehensive cost calculation, the optimal thickness ratio is in the range of 7%-13%, preferably 10%.

[0053] Based on any of the above embodiments, refer to Figure 1A color transition area is provided on the circumferential side 7.

[0054] Specifically, the color of the area between the middle of the button's perimeter 7 and the inner and outer sides can be clearly defined, or a transition area can be set. The color of the transition area can be a mixture of the color of the main body 1 and the color of the first color layer 2, or the color of the first color layer 2 can gradually change to the color of the main body 1.

[0055] In one specific embodiment provided in this application, reference is made to Figure 2 The button also includes a second color layer 4, which covers the overall exterior of the main body 1 and the first color layer 2.

[0056] Specifically, since the first color layer 2 is easy to electroplate or color, a second color layer 4 can also be set on the first color layer 2 of the button. The second color layer 4 can use materials with richer colors or be printed with more complex patterns, increasing the button's aesthetics and design flexibility. It should be noted that the button can also have only the first color layer 2, and the button's properties and color can be changed through the first color layer 2.

[0057] Furthermore, the second color layer 4 can be an electroplated layer, or it can be formed by spraying instead of electroplating. When formed by spraying, the second color layer 4 includes components such as pigments and binders, and the prepared paint is evenly sprayed onto the surface of the first color layer 2 using tools such as a spray gun. This method allows for more flexible selection of colors and patterns, and can also better cover some irregularly shaped buttons.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 3 This is the second type of button in this embodiment. The main body 1 of the button has a curved cross-section. The peripheral side of this type of button is located at the lower end of the button. Of course, the main body 1 can also be bent upwards, in which case the peripheral side is located at the upper end of the button.

[0059] Based on the above, the thickness of the button body 1 can also be appropriately reduced, with the first color layer 2 or the second color layer 4 compensating for the thickness of the body 1, so that the overall size of the button in this design is the same as that of a conventional button, ensuring the normal use of the button. At the same time, the internal structure is made of stainless steel, and the external surface is partially made of copper. Since the price of stainless steel is lower than that of copper, the button can be made to appear as a partially copper button while reducing the cost of the button.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 This is the third type of button in this embodiment. The button is a slingshot cup. Except for the spring, all the components inside adopt the above-mentioned button layer structure, as shown in the figure. Its peripheral side is its inner ring surface. Of course, depending on the different button structures, its peripheral side can also be its outer ring surface.

[0061] The implementation principle of this embodiment of a button and garment is as follows: This embodiment effectively solves the problems of difficult coloring and limited color options in existing stainless steel buttons by pressing a first color layer 2 onto the surface of the main body 1, setting a mixed layer 3 to enhance the connection strength, and combining it with a possible second color layer 4. This ensures the button's wear resistance and corrosion resistance, while also making the button's colors richer and more diverse, with better layering, reducing production costs, and improving production efficiency. It can meet the market's demand for diversified buttons and represents a significant improvement and contribution compared to existing technologies.

[0062] This utility model also discloses a garment, including the aforementioned buttons. For the structure of other parts of the garment, please refer to the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0063] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model.
