Abstract: A tack button assembly includes a solid, deformable button body having an anchoring socket with first and second ends. The socket extends along the longitudinal axis of the body and is adapted to retainingly receive the shank of an associated tack through the socket first end. A thin cover wall which is integral with the button closes the socket first end. The construction is such that the tack penetrates a material to which the assembly is intended to be secured before breaking through the cover wall and entering the anchoring socket. Such relationships prevent the tack from creating an enlarged hole in the material and/or causing puckering of the material. A cap member is disposed in close surrounding relation to the hub portion of the button body.
