US Patent:
7958659, Jun 14, 2011
Filed:
Jul 12, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/776830
Inventors:
Robert W. Tedesco - Winchester MA, US
International Classification:
G09F 3/18
US Classification:
4066104, 40315, 206296, 206348
Abstract:
The invention includes a bag or receptacle for securely containing stray buttons and for attaching to a garment at a location of repair to identify where a button is to be reattached or replaced. In one embodiment, such a button bag is sized and shaped like a business card for displaying a business name of a dry cleaner, launderer, tailor, hotel, or other service provider. The receptacle can include a strap for attaching to an existing button, or for looping through a buttonhole corresponding to a location where a button needs to be repaired. The invention provides a solution to button repair identification that is especially useful with express laundry and dry cleaning services and that does not require a user to verbally explain where buttons need to be repaired.
