button

A button is a fastener that joins two pieces of fabric together by slipping through a loop or by sliding through a buttonhole.
In modern clothing and fashion design, buttons are commonly made of plastic but also may be made of metal, wood, or seashell. Buttons can also be used on containers such as wallets and bags. Buttons may be sewn onto garments and similar items exclusively for purposes of ornamentation. In the applied arts and craft, a button can be an example of folk art, studio craft, or even a miniature work of art. In archaeology, a button can be a significant artifact.
Koumpounophobia is the fear of buttons anecdotely linked to reports of smelling and dirty buttons.

    Does anyone know of any options for touchless flush kits (battery powered) for a Dudley push button, pneumatic flush? The Dudley one is well over £300 which seems really expensive when there are kits out there for non-pneumatic systems at less than £50.
