| 20080222852 | Button hook - A button hook fastener includes a longitudinally extending solid plate, sized to fit a clothing button hole of one half inch or less. The proximal end of the button fastener includes a three dimensional finger engaging stop portion, preferable spherical. This enables the user to hold the plate within two fingers, but the three dimensional stop prevents the plate from slipping through the two fingers of the user. In order to capture a button, an open hook at the distal end of the plate is wrapped around the threading holding the button to a shirt. To maintain stability, the forward end of the hook has a slight taper, so that it can be easily inserted within a typical shirt button hole of one half inch or less. Additionally, there is an angled guide leading from a recess to the longitudinally extending inner confines of the arcuate hook, to guide the thread holding the button to within the confines of the arcuate hook. | 09-18-2008 |

PIERCED EARRING FASTENER | 3 |
| 20110191991 | COMPOSITE EARRING BACKER AND METHOD OR RETAINING AN EARRING WITH COMPOSITE BACKER - A composite jewelry retaining element for a post is disclosed which includes a first inner core part that is a conventional retainer such as a butterfly clamp, spring biased clutch or screw back device. The inner core part is enveloped by an elastomeric section. The elastomeric section has a tubular passage that is sized slightly smaller than an aperture provided through the conventional retainer and that receives an earring post. The post is thereby retained by both the conventional retainer element and a gripping force imposed by the elastomeric section which is created by providing the passage that is slightly smaller than the post. | 08-11-2011 |
