Description

Reusable textile adjustment device TECHNICAL SECTOR The invention falls within the field of mechanical fastening and adjustment devices applied to textile products, particularly in ultra-flat profile reusable closure systems intended for use in clothing. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The prior art includes various homemade or artisanal solutions for adjusting garments, such as the use of pins, metal clips, elastic bands, or hand stitching, which are visible, uncomfortable, or damage the fabric. However, no reusable, ultra-thin, and washable industrial devices have been identified that allow for reversible garment adjustment without altering the garment's original structure. EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a reusable textile adjustment device consisting of three main elements: • a male piece that incorporates a pin embedded in its base, • a female part provided with a receiver with a truncated conical cavity and deformable internal protuberance, • and a release element that can be inserted from the back of the receiver. The described functional assembly allows for reversible coupling between the male and female parts, ensuring retention through mechanical interaction between the pin and the internal protrusion. Insertion of the release mechanism allows for controlled separation of the system. The technical problem solved consists of providing an ultra-thin, washable and reusable mechanism that allows for the precise adjustment of fabrics without the need for sewing or permanent modification of the garment. Compared to known improvised solutions (clips, pins, rubber bands or hand stitches), the system of the present invention offers notable technical advantages: • Functional profile with a thickness of 1.5 mm, imperceptible on the garment, • compatibility with flexible polymeric materials and high-strength metal pins, • reversible and long-lasting configuration, • manufacturing using standard injection and overmolding processes, which facilitates large-scale production. These characteristics define a unique low-intrusion reusable textile closure technical system, not previously described in the state of the art. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS To complement the description of the invention and facilitate the understanding of its technical characteristics, a set of drawings is included which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, represents the following: FIG. 1. - View of the device's release element, arranged in the left relative position of the exploded assembly. FIG. 2. - View of the female part located in the central part of the exploded assembly FIG. 2A. - Enlargement of the female piece, in which its truncated conical cavity can be seen as a representative example, without additional internal detail. FIG. 3. - View of the male part located on the right side of the exploded assembly, provided with an embedded pin. FIG. 3A. - Enlargement of the end of the male part's pin, showing the peripheral notch intended for axial locking in the female part. PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION In a preferred embodiment, the reusable textile adjustment device comprises the three elements depicted in FIGS.1 to 3. The male part (FIG. 3) is configured as a body of circular or oval geometry, in the center of which a metal pin (preferably in AISI 304 stainless steel) is embedded. This pin has a peripheral notch at its free end (FIG. 3A) which facilitates interlocking with the female part. The male part can be obtained by an overmolding process, so that the pin is firmly inserted into the polymeric material of the part. The female part (FIG.2) is a receiver with a truncated conical cavity and a deformable internal protrusion (FIG.2A), designed to mechanically retain the pin when it is inserted into the cavity. The protrusion's deformability allows for controlled insertion and removal of the pin. The release element (FIG.1) consists of a sheet-like piece with a cylindrical stem approximately 1.3 mm in diameter. This stem is inserted through the back of the female piece, displacing the internal protrusion and allowing the pin to be released. The set of the three pieces, in its coupled state, has a functional thickness equal to or less than 1.5 mm, which guarantees an ultra-flat profile suitable for application in textile products without significantly altering their structure or ease of use. Regarding materials, the male and female parts are preferably made of flexible polymeric materials, compatible with standard injection processes, which facilitates large-scale production and ensures durability against repeated use. Industrial application: The invention is suitable for manufacturing using conventional plastic injection molding and metal overmolding technologies, with the possibility of mass production in multi-cavity molds. Its structural configuration ensures direct applicability in the textile and accessories industries, with tolerances adapted to high-volume production runs.
