Abstract
A tiltable button comprises a shank and cover or shell. The shank and shell between them have means to prevent relative rotation. In one form the shank has radial recesses and the shell inward deflections which go into the radial recesses. In another form the shank has spokes which go out to a ring over which the shell is crimped, the spokes permitting tilting of the shell but not rotation relative to the shank. Anti-rotation projections are formed downwardly on the bottom of the shank. The purpose of preventing rotation is so that logos and other indicia on the shell will always be right side up.
