Abstract A button particularly for pillows and mattresses comprises a wide base portion with a hook shank connected to and extending out of the base portion and being curved around to enclose a hook loop. The interior of the shank within the loop is provided with an outwardly extending spring catch which extends partly across the open end of the loop. The outer leg of the hook shank extends backwardly toward and substantially perpendicular to the base and overlies and covers the spring catch. This outer leg portion has a terminal part which is made of triangular configuration with the sides diverging from the triangular in a direction toward the base so that the base of the triangular configuration is adjacent the button base.
A button particularly for pillows and mattresses, comprising a wide base portion, a hook shank connected to said base portion and being curved outwardly therefrom to enclose a hook loop, a spring catch extending from said shank from a location adjacent the end of said shank connected to said base portion and extending into the loop, said shank having an outer leg portion and a widened substantially triangular end in proximity to the porTion of said shank adjacent said base portion with the widest portion of the triangular configuration being at the edge of said hook shank including a widened base portion, the edge of said hook shank forming the base of the triangular configuration being in closely spaced relationship to the widened base portion of said shank.
