Abstract
A button for receiving and holding a fabric covering which includes a base element having a hollow cylindrical body with a conical outwardly tapering flange extending from one axial end toward the other and a cap member to be outwardly covered by a fabric piece and having a concave interior surface for receiving the cylindrical body and flange and engaging therebetween the edge of the fabric covering, a central cylindrical wall for insertion in the cylindrical body and an annular lip for disposition outwardly of the flange to retain the base element in the cap member. The axial dimension of the interior area of the cap member is greater than the axial dimension of the cylindrical body and flange of the base element for insertion of the base element to varying depths into the cap member. The diametric dimension of the cap member is slightly smaller than the diametric dimension of the flange of the base element for flexure of the flange upon assembly to engage the fabric edge therebetween. Thus, the button adapts readily to fabric coverings of varying thicknesses by variance of the depth of insertion of the base element in the cap member and variance of the degree of flexure of the flange in relation to the fabric thickness.
