Blocks as a part of metal fittings. Blocks for clothes

Metal buttons

Metal snaps are an excellent alternative to buttons, especially when sewing children's and outerwear. Buttons can create unnecessary bulk; they tear off and break faster. Durable metal reduces the risk of breakage, and professional installation of accessories using a press and attachments eliminates the loss of buttons. When sewing children's clothing, metal buttons are often used, complemented by a beautiful plastic hat. It can be plain or with an original pattern, which makes the fittings even more decorative and unique. These buttons combine the reliability of metal and the wide design possibilities of plastic.

Method of fastening the awning using eyelets

Round

Oval

Eyelets with swivel brackets

used in structures that require quick assembly. Convenient if you need to frequently open and close the awning. It is enough to turn the bracket 90 degrees and the awning is firmly closed. This fittings are more expensive compared to other types.

Blocks and eyelets

The main purpose is to make holes for subsequent pulling of cords. Eyelets are usually installed on clothing because they look very neat and compact. These parts are equipped with rings located on the reverse side of the elements and hiding their reverse side.

Blocks are an analogue of eyelets. Their only difference is the absence of a ring. Blocks are used to make holes in shoes and in scrapbooking. The sizes of eyelets and blocks are varied - from 1.5 mm to 7 mm. They protect the fabric from fraying and abrasion when the laces move. Break strength is especially important for them; otherwise, it will be impossible to ensure the reliability of the lacing. This fitting is selected according to the height of the leg - the higher it is, the denser the material the element can be combined with.

The surface and edges of the eyelets must be of high quality; defects and burrs are unacceptable. Then, even when sewing corsets from delicate fabrics, the product will not suffer - there will be no puffs or unwanted punctures on it.

The difference between blocks and eyelets
Terminology : Eyelet is a part consisting of two parts: a block and a ring

A block or block consists of one piece = without a ring.

The number (diameter) of the eyelet is determined by the internal measurement of the part:

Example: eyelet diagram with a diameter of 5mm.

The eyelet ring gives increased strength to the eyelet and prevents it from falling out of the hole. It is recommended to always install grommets rather than blocks.

Shoe blocks.

The name speaks for itself. In addition to shoes, they are also installed on belts. Block with factory notch. It is installed using a special attachment that flares the block from the reverse side in the shape of a chamomile. The lower nozzle corresponds to the diameter of the eyelet.

Why are the eyelets deformed during installation:

There is a definite conclusion that each company produces its own grommets, which, with nominally identical diameters, differ from grommets from other manufacturers by at least tenths or hundredths of millimeters. Therefore, do not be surprised that, as a result, having an attachment, for example, for installing eyelets with a diameter of 5 mm, you will not get very good results (deformations, flaring with notches, etc.). In some cases, replacing the upper part of the attachment with a larger or smaller diameter . For example: we take the lower part of the nozzle for eyelets with a diameter of 5mm, and the upper part of a nozzle with a diameter of 6mm, or vice versa. Try installing 2-3 eyelets to choose the best option, on a separate piece of fabric or leather. Sometimes, during installation, the eyelets still flare out with notches on the reverse side. In this case, we do not press the eyelets a little to the end, and then we straighten these imperfections with a small hammer, tapping lightly, holding the hammer at a slight angle. It is best to do this on a piece of thick rubber, such as a conveyor belt. (If there is no rubber, straighten it on soft wood, the main thing is not to flatten the front part)

We run along the underside of the grommet with the pad of our finger; if it clings, we tap it further, but without fanaticism. Get an acceptable result

Attention:

Do not conduct experiments on the customer's product. First, check the installation of questionable eyelets on an unnecessary piece of fabric, achieve the desired result, and only then proceed to fulfill the order.

—Magnet to the rescue

— Stainless steel eyelets are made of non-ferrous metals that are not subject to corrosion, they can be easily distinguished from eyelets made of steel using a magnet. In any case, advise the customer not to wash items with eyelets using powder containing bleaches.

In the vast expanses of our vast Motherland, punch attachments from two manufacturers are mainly used: Turkey and Greece

We use “non-native” attachments - punches

-. On Turkish-made presses (Veltex, Strong, Ultratex....) you can use punch attachments from the Protos company. Since the punches from the Protos company have a slightly smaller thread than the nozzles made in Turkey, after a little modification using FUM tape for plumbing work or electrical tape, they can be easily and simply used for work.

But if you purchased a press from the Protos company, and nozzles from the Veltex company (Strong, Ultratex), then on these nozzles you will have to cut a new thread corresponding to this press.

This is the competition between Europe and Asia

— If there is no centering of the press?

My press does not have precise alignment, although I have been using it for several years. What I do: I do not tighten the thread of the upper part of the nozzle by 2 turns and during the installation process I guide the nozzle, as if holding it lightly with my hand. Unfortunately, this sometimes happens with Turkish equipment.

The Veltex company has adopted the following designation for nozzles made in Turkey:

In the Protos company, the same attachments are called PUNCHES. The name of the punch corresponds to the diameter of the grommet. For example: Punch for grommet. Size - 3mm.

Frames, rings and half rings

These elements solve two problems: a practical one - they hold individual parts together, and a decorative one - they increase the aesthetics of garments. Using simple frame designs, you can adjust the straps of overalls, bags and backpacks.

Smooth metal parts allow fabric and leather straps to glide easily. Under load, they clamp the fabric, which prevents the straps from spontaneously moving apart. Only metal fittings can guarantee such a high margin of safety, resistance to temperature changes and deformation resistance. It is indispensable in the manufacture of workwear and travel equipment.

Application area

In fact, according to the method of operation, eyelets are the edging of the hole, embedded in the material. The ring prevents stretching of the fabric at the cut site and the occurrence of mechanical damage when guides - cables, ropes, cords - are passed through it.

Main areas of application:

• in the production and installation of outdoor advertising banners;
• for canvas awnings in structures for various purposes;
• in tourism - in the production of tents, covering awnings;
• in the automotive industry in the manufacture of car awnings;
• in light industry - in clothing, shoes, bags, backpacks, various leather goods accessories;
• for the implementation of various design solutions in the interiors of premises - in curtains, drapes, curtains.

Denim buttons

Today, denim buttons can be found not only on jeans clothes. However, they are still required to have high strength and corrosion resistance. Such buttons are widely used in sewing work clothes, jackets, leather goods and heavy rigid materials.

A denim button has a simple design - it consists of a stud and a cap: round, square or hexagonal, straight, convex or concave. The diameter varies from 14 mm to 40 mm. Legs can be movable or fixed. The most convenient are buttons with movable legs, as they are faster and easier to insert into the buttonhole. But buttons with a fixed base are much more durable due to a more reliable connection.

Installation method and features

Important! When punching a hole for a grommet, you should take into account the type of fabric being punched. For elastic, stretchable material, a notch is made 2-3 mm less than the diameter of the block. For rigid, non-stretchable material, the diameters of the hole and the block must match.

Important! Before punching the fabric, it is recommended to fold it in half or place a thick lining. This will ensure a more secure attachment of the eyelet to the fabric and prevent the appearance of split edges.

Important! The tool type and grommet type are indicated using capital English letters. Therefore, when choosing a tool of suitable size, you should pay attention to the markings.

Holniten

Metal rivets and rivets are holniten necessary to protect certain areas from abrasion and fraying, for strong fixation, strengthening of individual joints and design of things. They are used when sewing denim, outerwear and work clothes, bags, various equipment, and shoes.

Holniten, like a denim button, consists of a stem and a cap. Products can be different in diameter, shape, color and leg length. The brand name is often printed on the hat. If the wrong side is visible, double-sided holnitens are chosen; in all other cases, single-sided ones are suitable. Elements with a sharp leg are intended for the manufacture of clothing, while those with a rounded leg are intended for leather goods, such as bags and belts. High-quality installation is possible if the length of the leg is 1-2 mm greater than the thickness of the material.

Advantages

Among other methods of attaching curtain fabric to a cornice, the use of metal rings is considered the most reliable, despite the fact that individual elements can be purchased at retail. The eyelet decorates the curtains. You can see what it is in the photo.

Any type of fabric is suitable for fastening to eyelets

• the curtain glides silently and seamlessly along the cornice;
• the curtain is protected from sagging and mechanical damage;
• you can form aesthetic, even, decorative folds on curtains;
• the curtain can be quickly removed and hung again;
• Washing curtain fabric does not create problems.

An absolute advantage is the quick installation of products, including at home.

Curtains on rings are easy to move and do not snag

How to install it yourself

If desired, the products can be installed independently. To do this, punch a hole in the fabric.

Next, an insert is inserted into the hole from the wrong side of the fabric, and a washer is inserted from the front side, after which the grommet structure is secured (just press on the washer, then the sleeve until it clicks lightly). If double-sided curtains are selected, the sides of the grommet and washer do not matter.

For home curtains, it is convenient to use plastic eyelets, the halves of which are connected by simple snapping and do not require special tools for installation

To ensure trouble-free movement of the curtains along the cornice, when choosing fittings, experts advise giving preference to products whose internal diameter is 1.5 cm larger than the diameter of the cornice rod.

In addition to prepared, well-ironed curtains and the fittings themselves, you will need:

• tape measure;
• needle, thread;
• punch for creating holes;
• scissors;
• pencil for marking fabric.

Formula for calculating the number of holes

Before you begin, you should determine the curtain model and the required number of bushings.

Expert opinion

Mikhailova Maria Vasilievna

Furniture store manager. Knows everything about comfort and interior design

Calculating holes is one example that proves that school mathematics lessons can be useful for solving everyday problems. So, to calculate the number of bushings for curtains (x), there is a special formula:

x = (a - 2c): 18 + 1, where:

• a – width of the curtain;
• c – the distance from the edge of the curtain to the center of the rings located at the edge of the canvas.

With an even number of eyelets, the edges of the curtain will be directed in one direction, with an odd number, in different directions.

If the calculations result in an odd number, it is rounded up to an even number. Having decided on the required amount of fittings, you can begin to work.

How to determine distance

The distance between the holes in the fabric largely depends on its type and quality. Most often it ranges from 15 to 22 cm.

Layout of eyelets on the curtain

When installing side rings, a different rule applies. They should not be located at the very edge of the curtain, but at the same time they will look bad at a considerable distance from it. Therefore, a step of 2-6 cm will be optimal.

Algorithm of actions

1. Apply markings to the canvas, marking with a pencil where the holes will be punched.

Features of a rectangular eyelet with a fastening belt

A separate name is “rectangular eyelet with a fastening belt” - what is it and how to use it? Basically, this is the grommet that attaches the curtain to the frame. To do this, you need to put the grommet on a special bracket and secure this entire structure with a PVC strap. What is a staple? In itself, the bracket is a piece of fittings that helps secure the curtains to the frame, since an oval-shaped grommet is put on this very bracket.

The strap with a buckle is installed at the edge of the curtain and serves to hold the curtain folded.

The bracket can be rotary, which means that the “ear” of the bracket can change its position. There are also stationary brackets, whose position in space cannot be changed in any way. In general, swivel brackets with a fastening belt are much more popular. Why is it worth buying such a strap for eyelets? The reason is quite simple - the belt provides a more reliable connection between the curtain and the frame, as it firmly fastens the bracket and the grommet on which the curtain hangs.

It is used for attaching the awning to various surfaces by “self-fastening”.

Types and materials

Today, several types of curtain rings are available.

• With small rings. This category of eyelets is installed on the cornice using special hooks.
• With big rings. Such product options greatly simplify the process of attaching curtains. They are installed on the curtain rod.

The material used to make curtain eyelets is usually wood, metal or plastic. Most often, heavy and dense fabrics are chosen for windows, so the eyelets should be made in the form of metal rings - they can withstand heavy material and give an aesthetic appearance to the curtains. For lighter curtains and tulles, you can choose plastic eyelets.

They have a low price and excellent resistance to corrosion compared to metal options. In the case of tulle, metal eyelets are not suitable, since metal can damage the delicate material.

To create an interior in ethnic or country style, wooden models are an excellent solution. The environmentally friendly material will appeal to people who value such quality in a product.

The material from which the cornice is made also plays an important role, since it is threaded into the rings. Curtain rods made of wood, metal and plastic are also used here.

Rings have a variety of shapes. Thanks to modern technologies, products of square, triangular and other geometric shapes are produced.

How to calculate the distance between eyelets?

To calculate the distance between the eyelets, you need to know the parameters of the curtains, as well as the cross-section of the eyelets themselves. The cross-section of the ring is taken as the value of the internal diameter, not the external one, since these two figures will differ significantly.

After calculating these values, you can proceed directly to calculating the frequency of product placement.

• In order to calculate the number of rings, you need to multiply the width of the curtain by 6.
• The remaining side material should be 6 cm (3 cm on both sides).
• Calculation of the remaining footage from the starting to the final hole. It is calculated as follows: the value of the residual material on the side is subtracted from the width of the curtain.
• Calculation of the footage on the fabric in the places where the holes will be located. Formula: the internal section of the ring is multiplied by the number of fittings.
• Calculate the total distance at the center of the holes. Formula: from the value of the remaining footage from the start to the final hole, the footage on the fabric in the places where the holes will be located is subtracted.
• Calculation of the gap in the center of the holes. Calculation formula: one is subtracted from the number of eyelets.
• Calculation of the distance between eyelets. Formula: the value of the yardage on the fabric in the places where the holes will be located must be divided by the number of intervals between units. The resulting value is considered the distance between the eyelets.

How to install it yourself?

To properly install rings on curtains, you must perform the following steps:

• do simple calculations yourself;
• buy curtains;
• purchase rings and, if necessary, grommet tape;
• prepare a workplace - any flat horizontal surface.

After the calculations, it is necessary to prepare the curtains.

• wet the material and leave it to dry a little;
• make a lining if necessary;
• process the seams.

After such procedures, you can insert rings into the curtains.

This should be done as follows:

• make a mark of the middle of the fastening using the calculated values;
• install the grommet and draw the internal section;
• using a sharp object, it is necessary to prepare a hole, which should be slightly larger than the drawn section;
• place a grommet on both sides of the curtain;
• Press down the fastener until it clicks.

On the other hand, fastening is carried out in a similar way. After this, the midpoints of all other fastenings should be noted using the calculated values. It is necessary to check that the rings are located at the same level from the material.

Eyelets for curtains: from selection to quantity calculation

Since ancient times, curtains on the windows of the house have been an integral part of the interior. Previously, strong threads or fishing line were used as pendants.

The curtains were an ordinary piece of fabric. Today, curtain rods of any shape are installed for windows, and the material is attached to them in various ways.

The most common eyelets are used to fasten curtains.

How to Apply Grommet Tape

First you need to figure out what this grommet tape is. Eyelet tape is a special adhesive strip made of dense material, which is used to strengthen the upper edge of the curtain before installing eyelets on it. Eyelet tape is an alternative way to increase the density of fabric.

Reinforcing tapes come in one- and two-layer types. They differ in the number of pasted sides.

The eyelet tape should be quite wide: the diameter of the rings + 2-3 centimeters. The hot-melt material from which the tape is made can be quite dense for heavy curtains, or very thin and transparent for light curtains. Often, grommet tape is used as a backing for decorative elements that should be placed on the curtain.

To find the ideal width, add at least 2 cm to the outer diameter.

To glue the grommet tape, you first need to determine how many layers there are in it:

• For a single layer, you can simply use an iron - such a tape will quickly connect to the fabric.
• Double-layer tape is distinguished by the fact that glue is applied to both sides of the material and protected by a special heat-resistant mesh.

To attach grommet tape to curtains, follow these steps:

1. Mark two widths of tape on the top of the curtain
2. Fold the curtains inside out to each other and iron
3. Take the tape and apply it, sticky side down, to the edge of the fold.
4. Wait for the tape to cool down
5. Remove excess material
6. Sew the tape and curtain approximately in the middle of the width of the tape, this is necessary for a more durable fixation.

For thin curtains, choose transparent tapes.

What it is?

Curtain eyelets are products that are additional elements to curtains. The name came to us from Europe, where these interior items originated from.

They are rings with different sections and are available in any shape. They can be square, triangular, in the shape of flowers or animals.

Expert opinion

Mikhailova Maria Vasilievna

Furniture store manager. Knows everything about comfort and interior design

They have the most varied range of colors. They usually imitate a variety of materials.

For example, you can often find eyelets that imitate leather, wood and other similar materials.

Depending on the interior, you can choose any model and style of product. Round rings are the most popular. Their shade usually matches the color of curtains or furniture. In order for the curtains to move comfortably along the crossbar, it is necessary to choose models with a cross-section 1.5 cm larger than that of the cornice.

Installing grommets offers some advantages, which include the following indicators:

• low noise level when moving along the curtain rod;
• obtaining graceful and symmetrical shapes on the curtain;
• avoiding sagging and abrasion of curtain material;
• additional beauty in the interior of the room;
• Possibility of washing without removing fasteners.

The disadvantages of using this approach include the following inconveniences:

• it is impossible to make a multi-layer curtain, since only one rod is used;
• It is necessary to use only fabric that gives minimal shrinkage after washing.
