The snap button comprises a button body, wherein the button body includes a plurality of projections and a plurality of recesses, which are circumferentially alternately arranged. Each of the projections includes at least one salient and each of the recesses includes at least one protrusion. Each of the projections may be shaped as a horizontal cross-section thereof gradually decreases from the proximal end to the distal end. Further, the circumferential range of each recess is larger than that of each projection. The protrusion may have one or more cutouts, and the salient may be hemispherically shaped.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2009Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: YKK CorporationInventors: Katsuhide Taniguchi, Saori Suzuki

Patent number: 7976782Abstract: A folding type portable telephone in which a first housing and a second housing are fixed by a hinge includes a face panel fixed to the first housing and aromatic substances are accommodated inside the face panel. When the hinge is rotated, the aromatic substances are released in conjunction with the operation of opening the folding type portable telephone from the closed state. Furthermore, a sounding body is operated at a frequency of strongly generating an air vibration at a time defined in advance by timer control, so that fragrance of the aromatic substances is released outward by the air vibration of the sounding body. The fragrance corresponding to TPO can be generated from the face panel of the portable telephone.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2005Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Iwao Matsuura, Junichi Yasuno, Akihiro Miyashita, Koji Taniguchi, Akitoshi Mori, Saori Suzuki
