Abstract: Ornamental assemblies are formed by a snap-type action interconnector formed respectively on bases and ornamental caps so that a number of different caps can be removably attached to a base to produce a composite assembly. The assembly has a decorative cap element, an interconnector and a base. The assembly can form a button, a necklace, an item of jewelry or the like.

Abstract: Snap-type action securing elements are formed respectively on ornamentation bases and caps so that a number of different ornamentation caps can be disposed for co-action with a single base to fabricate a number of different ornamentation assemblies. The items of ornamentation may be either buttons with the base carrying an anchor or holes to facilitate securing the button to an article; or items of jewelry such as pins, broaches, rings, pendants, earrings, tie tacks and the like with suitable fastening means.

Abstract: Rib and groove snap-type action securing elements are formed respectively on ornamentation bases and caps so that a number of different ornamentation caps can be disposed for co-action with a single base to fabricate a number of different ornamentation assemblies. In one embodiment the rib is carried by a depending circumferential wall of the cap for co-action with a circumferential groove formed in the base, while in another embodiment the rib is carried by an upstanding circumferential wall of the base for co-action with a groove disposed peripherally about the cap. In other embodiments a disc-like intermediate cap is disposed between a base and a top cap. In another embodiment the intermediate member co-acts with the base and the top cap. In yet another embodiment the cap includes a pair of parallel ribs for co-action with an intermediate cap and the base member.

Abstract: Rib and groove snap-type action securing elements are formed respectively on buckle bases and caps so that a number of different buckle caps can be disposed for co-action with a single base to fabricate a number of different buckle assemblies. In one embodimenmt the rib is carried by a depending circumferential wall of the cap for co-action with a circumferential groove formed in the base, while in another embodiment the rib is carried by an upstanding circumferential wall of the base for co-action with a groove disposed peripherally about the cap. In other embodiments a disk-like intermediate cap is disposed between a base and a top cap formed with a surrounding depending wall with a bead along its lower edge for co-action with the lower edge of the base.

Abstract: Rib and groove snap-type action securing elements are formed respectively on closure bases and caps so that a number of different closure caps can be disposed for co-action with a single base to fabricate a number of different closure assemblies. In one embodiment the rib is carried by a depending circumferential wall of the cap for co-action with a circumferential groove formed in the base, while in another embodiment the rib is carried by an upstanding circumferential wall of the base for co-action with a groove disposed peripherally about the cap. In other embodiments a disc-like intermediate cap is disposed between a base and a top cap formed with a surrounding depending wall with a bead along its lower edge for co-action with the lower edge of the base.
