A button system containing two pieces that snap and lock together to fasten multiple articles of clothing. The top piece is made of three distinct parts: a detachable ridged color-coded cover, a fastener that attaches said cover to a rotatable hinged plate, and a fastener that secures all three pieces of the top piece. The bottom piece is also made up of three distinct parts: a plate to receive the hinges from the top piece, a curved structure that connects the hinge/cavity plates to the article of clothing, and a rivet that attaches to the article of clothing and the snap and lock invention.

A magnetic button having a first button member incorporating a magnet and a second button member incorporating a body made of ferromagnetic material. The first button member and the second button member are magnetically couplable and uncouplable by moving towards and away from each other, respectively, in a coupling direction. The permanent magnet is annular, and a central body made of ferromagnetic material is arranged in a cavity of the permanent annular magnet.

The invention relates to a monitor device for monitoring the closed or open state of an article, the monitor device being in the form of an electronic circuit comprising a button closure system comprising two rows of elements (11, 12, 13, 14, 21, 22, 23, 24) made of electrically conductive material, each element of one row being couplable and un-couplable with an element of the other row. A detector-and-signaling device is connected firstly to at least one of the elements, referred to as a first terminal (21), and secondly to at least one of the other elements, referred to as a second terminal. The detector-and-signaling device (4) is configured to detect the state of electrical continuity between the first and second terminals (21, 24), and to issue a signal as a function of said detected continuity state. In a direction parallel to the rows of elements when said elements are in the coupled state, the first terminal (21) and the second terminal (24) are spaced apart from each other by at least one element (22, 23) of the button closure system (I5), said at least one element (22, 23) having no electrical connection with said terminals (21, 24) when the elements of the button closure system (I5) are in the uncoupled state.

A magnetic button used with a preexisting button and a preexisting button hole associated with the preexisting button of an article of clothing. The magnetic button includes a female portion and a male portion. The female portion attaches to the preexisting button of the article of clothing, and the male portion is inserted into the preexisting button hole of the article of clothing. The male portion is magnetic, while the female portion is magnetic attractive, and being so, a location position of the male portion and the female portion are selective for allowing a user to merely put the male portion and the female portion together in a comfortable location by virtue of the female portion being magnetically attractive to the male portion being magnetic.

This invention relates to a button containing two pieces that snap together to fasten multiple articles of clothing. The top piece is made of two parts: a ridged cover that is used as both a pressure point to secure the invention, and a grip to rotate the invention in and out of the locked position, said ridged cover including a male fastener that attaches the rigged cover to the plate with hinges that functions as the bottom of the top piece of the snap and lock. The hinged place contains a female fastener that secures the two pieces of the top portion. The bottom piece of the snap and lock invention is made up of three parts: a plate to receive the hinges from the top piece, with a cavity to allow the hinges to rotate into a locked position, a curved structure that serves to connect the hinge/cavity plates and the article of clothing attachment, and a rivet that attaches to the article of clothing and the snap and lock invention.

There is provided a cap, which is one part of a button fastener. The cap comprises a bottom and a circumferential side rising from an edge of the bottom. The cap is composed of an inner layer made of aluminum or aluminum alloy as a first material and an outer layer made of copper or copper alloy as a second material. The first and second layer are laminated on each other continuously across the bottom and the circumferential side. A Vickers hardness of the second material may be harder than a Vickers hardness of the first material. A tensile strength of the first material may be less than 260 N/mm2, and a tensile strength of the second material may be equal to or higher than 260 N/mm2.
