Title: Metal button assembly

Abstract: An improved metal button assembly adapted to be attached to a fabric by an automatic sewing machine without producing a pucker in the fabric in which a stamped sheet metal shell is formed with thread-receiving holes and with a peripheral flange for retaining an unperforated plastic blank swaged into the shell, the blank being formed with a central area of reduced thickness which is pierced by the sewing needle in the course of attaching the button to the garment, the blank having an undersurface lying generally in the plane of the flange edge and being sufficiently rigid to avoid puckering of the fabric.
