At APPM, we focus on manufacturing to provide not only selected products, but also products developed based on customer requests, and other products that meet the needs of the time at reasonable prices.
This time, we will introduce "BAD633/637" from among our highly unique original products.
BAD633 / 637 Mortar Hook
New design registered with the Patent Office! Known as the "Moribachi Hook"
This dot button is made up of four parts (cap, spring, handle, and tip), but what's unique about this product is that the handle part is shaped like a mortar.This is a product developed exclusively by our company, for which a design patent application and utility model patent were registered with the Japan Patent Office in 2018.
Eliminates the problem of "sinking" that occurred with conventional products
With conventional products, when sewing dot buttons into thick or brushed fabrics, the male part of the button would sink into the fabric, making it difficult to fasten and remove. With this product, a plate is attached around the button to prevent it from sinking into the fabric. In addition, the convex part of the button is made "cone-shaped" to reduce scratches and dents caused by other parts interfering with each other when sewing, making it easier to fasten and remove.
Minimalist design that becomes a focal point when putting on and taking off
It's not just functional. The "mortar" shape makes it less affected by the cap's feet, allowing it to be made thinner. The difference is clear when viewed from the side, and the female side spring part has been made thinner, resulting in a thinner and more minimalist finish overall. Also, the "mortar" design that can be seen when putting on and taking off the button is a unique feature that sets it apart from other dot buttons.
Two different part numbers are used depending on the size
The shape is the same, but you can use two different part numbers depending on the size.
If you prefer a smaller size, we recommend you choose "BAD633". If you prefer a larger size, we recommend you choose "BAD637".
For the 13mm, the cap size is the same for both product numbers, but the size of the handle varies depending on the product number. We hope you will choose the size you prefer.

We actually tried out the fit and feel of these two items!
Both snapped on and off with a secure click, but the larger size seemed to stay in place more securely.

Because the parts are slim, the fabric fits snugly together with no gaps, enhancing the minimalist finish even when viewed from angles other than the front.
