Abstract

A button secured by a rivet to a sheet of compliant material includes an elastic body having a dish-shaped web whose peripheral rim carries the button cap. The web is of uniform construction through its circumference for consistent resiliency whereby the button can be easily tilted from its normal position so as to be readily inserted through the buttonhole of an article.
