Abstract
Description
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Druckknopf für Flächenmaterial, bestehend aus einem Oberteil und aus einem Unterteil, die jeweils an zu verbindenden Flächenmaterialien befestigbar und miteinander verrastbar sind, wobei das Oberteil und das Unterteil jeweils aus einem auf das Flächenmaterial einwirkenden Nietschaft mit angeformtem Nietflansch sowie aus einem Rastteil (Kugel/Öse) auf der anderen Seite des Flächenmaterials besteht, in dem der Nietschaft vernietet ist und in der Öse eine Feder als Federelement angeordnet ist, deren innere Schenkel in Zwei zueinander parallelen Schlitzen im Innenteil der Öse federnd eingesetzt sind.The invention relates to a push button for surface material, consisting of an upper part and a lower part, each of which can be fastened to surface materials to be connected and locked together, the upper part and the lower part each consisting of a rivet shaft acting on the surface material with a molded rivet flange and of one Locking part (ball / eyelet) on the other side of the surface material, in which the rivet shank is riveted and in the eyelet a spring is arranged as a spring element, the inner legs of which are resiliently inserted in two mutually parallel slots in the inner part of the eyelet.
Aus der DE-OS 25 22 518 ist ein Druckknopf mit einer im einem Federgehäuse angeordneten Feder bekannt, dessen Federgehäuse auf der der Öffnung zugewandten Seite abgeschrägt eine Zentrierfläche für die Kugel bildet. Die Abschrägung der öffnungsseitigen Fläche des Federgehäuses erlaubt zwar ein Anlegen der Kugel, jedoch kann aufgrund der sehr kurzen und steilen Fläche nicht von einer Zentrierhilfe gesprochen werden. Darüber hinaus ist bei diesem Druckknopf die Feder lose im Gehäuse angeordnet, so daß die Feder nicht jederzeit in axialer Richtung auf die Mitte der Matrize hin versetzt in der Matrize gehalten beim Eintreten der Kugel wegrutschen kann.From DE-OS 25 22 518 a push button with a spring arranged in a spring housing is known, the spring housing of which, on the side facing the opening, forms a centering surface for the ball. The bevelling of the opening-side surface of the spring housing allows the ball to be put on, but due to the very short and steep surface, one cannot speak of a centering aid. In addition, with this push button the spring is loosely arranged in the housing, so that the spring cannot slide away at any time in the axial direction towards the center of the die, held in the die when the ball enters.
Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Druckknopf mit einer Feder zu schaffen, der eine Zentrierung der Kugel in der Öse ermöglicht sowie kräuselfrei mit dem Flächenmaterial verbunden werden kann.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to create a push button with a spring, which enables the ball to be centered in the eyelet and can be connected to the surface material without curling.
Als technische Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird ein gattungsgemäßer Druckknopf vorgeschlagen, bei dem die Feder in einem Federgehäuse in axialer Richtung auf die Mitte der Öse hin versetzt angeordnet und auf der Innenseite der Öse an dem Federgehäuse ein Zentrierkonus angeformt ist sowie das Federgehäuse auf der Außenseite eine Sicke aufweist und die Feder in Richtung auf die Kugel bombiert ist.As a technical solution to this problem, a generic push button is proposed in which the spring is offset in a spring housing in the axial direction towards the center of the eyelet and a centering cone is formed on the inside of the eyelet on the spring housing and the spring housing on the outside has a bead has and the spring is cambered towards the ball.
Die Sicke auf der Außenseite des Federgehäuses legt die Feder im Federgehäuse fest, so daß ein Wegrutschen der Feder vermieden werden kann, wenn die Feder durch die eintretende Kugel zusammengedrückt wird. Dieser Halt der Feder im Federgehäuse wird durch die bombierte, d.h. in gewölbter Form ausgestaltete Feder noch verstärkt.The bead on the outside of the spring housing fixes the spring in the spring housing, so that the spring can be prevented from slipping when the spring is compressed by the incoming ball. This hold of the spring in the spring housing is ensured by the convex, i.e. The spring, which is designed in a curved shape, is reinforced.
An der Kugel kann zwischen Schnappbereich und Kugelflansch ein Zentrierkegel angeformt sein, der einerseits als Anlagefläche für den Zentrierkonus dient und andererseits den Verformungsdruck bei der Kugelherstellung auffangen soll.A centering cone can be formed on the ball between the snap area and the ball flange, which is used on the one hand as a contact surface for the centering cone and on the other hand to absorb the deformation pressure during ball production.
Um Nietschaft und Kugel ohne Kräuselung des Flächenmaterials verbinden zu können, kann die Kugel offen sein, wobei der Nietschaft in der als Nietloch dienenden Öffnung vernietet werden kann. Bei dieser Ausführungsform wird zur Befestigung an dem Flächenmaterial der Nietschaft auf das Flächenmaterial aufgesetzt und von der Gegenseite durch das Nietloch ein Unterwerkzeug entgegengehalten und das Flächenmaterial an der Durchtrittsstelle ausgestanzt, so daß keine Kräuselung des Flächenmaterials auftreten kann. Der Nietflansch wird anschließend in bekannter Weise am Nietloch angebördelt.In order to be able to connect the rivet shaft and the ball without crimping the surface material, the ball can be open, wherein the rivet shaft can be riveted in the opening serving as the rivet hole. In this embodiment, for fastening to the surface material of the rivet shaft, a surface is placed on the surface material and a lower tool is held against the opposite side through the rivet hole and the surface material is punched out at the passage point, so that no crimping of the surface material can occur. The rivet flange is then flanged to the rivet hole in a known manner.
Ein erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeter Druckknopf hat den Vorteil einer Zentrierung der Kugel in der Öse und zudem einer kräuselfreien Verbindung mit dem Flächenmaterial.A push button designed according to the invention has the advantage of centering the ball in the eyelet and also of a crimp-free connection to the surface material.

In den Fig. 1 bis 4 sind eine Öse 1 und eine Kugel 2 vor der Montage dargestellt. In der Öse 1 ist als Federelement eine S-Feder 3 so angeordnet, daß die inneren Schenkel der S-Feder 3 in die beiden parallel zueinander angeordneten Schlitze 4 im Innenteil der Öse 1 eingreifen. Die S-Feder 3 ist in ein Federgehäuse 5 eingesetzt, welches auf der Außenseite eine Sicke 6 aufweist, die der Festlegung der S-Feder 3 im Federgehäuse 5 dient. Auf der Innenseite der Öse 1 ist an dem Federgehäuse 5 ein Zentrierkonus 7 angeformt. Durch die Verlegung der Federebene der S-Feder 3 in axialer Richtung auf die Mitte der Öse 1 hin ändert sich die Bauhöhe der Öse 1 gegenüber Ösen ohne Zentrierkonus 7 nicht.1 to 4, an eyelet 1 and a
Wie aus Fig. 5 ersichtlich, wird zur Verbindung mit dem Flächenmaterial 8 ein Nietschaft 9 durch ein Nietloch 10 gesteckt und in der Öse 1 angebördelt. Der Nietschaft 9 stanzt dabei das Flächenmaterial 8 aus, so daß sich dieses an den Rändern nicht kräuseln kann. An den Nietschaft 9 ist einstückig ein Nietflansch 11 angeformt, welcher in den umgebördelten Rändern einer Kappe 12 festgelegt ist.As can be seen from FIG. 5, a
