ABSTRACT:
A button body of an open-faced button includes an ornamental face disk rotatably supported on a cylindrical retainer firmly fitted in the tubular stem of a button back. The retainer has an axial hole for receiving the shank of a tack, and a radial groove extending transversely across the axial hole. The radial groove and the axial hole is separated by a locking step extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the retainer. When the shank is staked into the retainer to attach the button body to a garment fabric, a front end of the shank is deformed into an axially compressed and radially swelled end portion and held in interlocking engagement with the locking step of the retainer.
