A button applicator (10) for caulking one button element (5) to another button element through a fabric piece, using a punch and a die (15). When a button element (5) having a different caulking pressure is applied, any adjusting for a resilient force supporting the die is unnecessary. According to a preferred embodiment, a first spring (29) and a second spring (32) are provided between a spring-positioning member (25) and a spring-supporting member (23) so that the first spring is encircled by the second spring and that the top of the first spring is higher than the top of the second spring by a predetermined gap (G). The movement of the die (15) is conveyed to the springs through a shaft (21) provided between the die (15) and the spring-positioning member (25). The button element, which has a smaller caulking pressure, is caulked by a resilient force of the first spring. Then, the button element, which has a larger caulking pressure, is caulked by a resilient force of the both springs, after the first spring is compressed to be deformed with a displacement of the gap. |
