(54) A capped eyelet for attachment of a snap fastener to a garment


(57) A capped eyelet (100, 100', 100") for attachment of a snap fastener member (D) to a garment fabric (F) has a double shock-absorbing means comprising a plurality of resiliently deformable buffer wings (6, 26, 36) projecting from a flange (2) of an eyelet body (A, A', A") and a plastically deformable buffer plate (C) sandwiched between the buffer wings (6, 26, 36) and a cap (B) covering the flange. When axial pressure is applied to the capped eyelet (100,100',100") to join with the snap fastener member (D) in clinched condition, the buffer wings (6, 26, 36) and the buffer plate (C) work together to absorb an excessive amount of the axial pressure so as not to impair the cap (B).
