Description
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a fastener for two-piece articles, such as two-piece garments. The present application also relates to a pair of socks including a fastener and a visual indicator for a textile surface.
Background
Socks and other garments can be purchased, stored and washed in pairs. Since different wearers of the hosiery may have similarly designed and colored hosiery, it is beneficial that the garments can be stored in pairs except when in use so as to avoid mistakenly confusing pairs of garments.
Existing fastening solutions are associated with a number of problems and disadvantages. For example, a standard round snap fastener for clothing may be unpredictable, and the structure may be sensitive to variations in production. Opening and closing zipper fasteners is relatively complicated compared to snap fasteners, and is also not ideal for use as a fastening device for, for example, a pair of socks.
Other examples of fasteners include, for example, hooks, screws, buttons, and hook-and-loop fasteners, but none of them are simultaneously lockable, stable, flexible, and efficient in terms of size. There is therefore a need for an improved and more efficient system for fastening systems for articles in general, and for garments such as socks in particular.
Disclosure of Invention
It is therefore an object of the present invention to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the known systems. The present disclosure relates to a fastener for a two-piece article, such as a two-piece garment, comprising:
-a first portion attachable to a first article, the first portion comprising:
an attachment portion for attaching the first portion to the second portion
An article; and
an engaging element connected to the attachment portion, the engaging element
The member comprises a substantially planar element;
-a second portion attachable to a second article:
an attachment portion for attaching the second portion to the first portion
Two articles;
a receiving element connected to the attachment portion for receiving and locking the engagement element of the first portion, the receiving element
Comprises an opening for receiving the engagement element;
wherein an opening profile of the opening in a first dimension is smaller than an engagement profile of the planar element of the engagement element such that in a first position a distal portion of the planar element is disposable below a corresponding distal portion of the opening of the receiving element and in a second, locked position a proximal portion of the planar element is subsequently disposable below a corresponding proximal portion of the opening of the receiving element.
Whereby the first and second parts of the fastener can be attached to each other in the second, locked position. The engaging elements of the first part are substantially flat elements, preferably relatively thin elements, having a specific profile element. The receiving elements of the second part have corresponding openings which are slightly smaller than the engaging elements in the same direction. Preferably, the engaging element is configured such that the distal end can be slidably inserted into the opening of the receiving element in a forward direction along the first dimension such that the distal end is disposed below the corresponding distal portion of the opening of the receiving element. From this position, the opposite side, i.e. the proximal side, of the engaging element can then be pushed into a position such that in the locked position the proximal side is arranged below the corresponding proximal side of the opening of the receiving element. The locking mechanism is particularly useful for garments, such as a pair of socks, but may be used in other applications.
In one embodiment, this function is achieved by a flat element made of a flexible and/or elastic material, preferably also having a certain rigidity, wherein the flat element is bendable in an upward direction. The engaging element, which is slightly longer in the first dimension than the opening of the receiving element and flexible as described above, can be pushed, thereby bending the flat element, which eventually "snaps" into a position in which the proximal portion of the flat element locks under the corresponding proximal portion of the opening of the receiving element.
The fastener may be used with a pair of socks, where a first portion of the fastener is attached to a first sock and a second portion of the fastener is attached to a second sock. One aspect of the invention therefore relates to a pair of socks comprising a fastener as described in the present disclosure, wherein the first portion is attached to a first sock and the second portion is attached to a second sock.
The present disclosure also relates to a visual indicator for a textile surface, such as a garment, comprising:
-an attachment layer attachable to the textile surface;
-a cover layer attachable on top of the attachment layer, the cover layer having a plurality of openings, each opening having a removable cover member;
wherein each of said openings exposes an indication, such as a color and/or character, upon removal of said cover member, such that combined removal of said cover members produces a combined indication that serves as a visual indicator for said textile surface.
These and other aspects of the invention are set forth in the following detailed description of the invention.

Detailed Description
The present disclosure relates to a fastener for a two-piece article, such as a two-piece garment, including a first portion attachable to a first piece of the article and a second portion attachable to a second piece of the article. The first portion may include an attachment portion for attaching the first portion to a first article and an engagement element connected to the attachment portion, the engagement element including a generally planar element. The attachment portion does not necessarily have to be attached directly to the first item, but may also have additional elements between the attachment portion and the item. The second portion may comprise an attachment portion for attaching the second portion to a second article and a receiving element for receiving the engaging element of the first portion. Preferably, the receiving element is configured to receive and lock the engaging element of the first part. The receiving element may comprise an opening for receiving the engaging element.
Preferably, the above-mentioned parts and elements are arranged such that the opening profile of the opening in the first dimension is smaller than the engagement profile of the planar element of the engagement element, such that in the first position a distal portion of the planar element may be arranged below a corresponding distal portion of the opening of the receiving element, and in the second, locked position a proximal portion of the planar element may subsequently be arranged below a corresponding proximal portion of the opening of the receiving element. The fastener disclosed herein for a two-piece article is not limited to a particular size, but may be applied to a variety of articles ranging from micro-designs to relatively larger articles, so long as the components of the fastener are appropriately sized to suit particular requirements.
The planar element of the engaging element may have a pointed distal portion, or at least a tapered distal portion. The opposite proximal portion of the planar element may be a straight side portion. The planar element may further comprise two parallel opposite sides connecting the distal side and the proximal opposite side. An example of such a shape is shown in fig. 1. The two parallel sides, the distal side and the proximal side may thereby form a pentagon, wherein the distal side comprises two sides forming a pointed and/or tapered shape. Alternative shapes are possible, for example two parallel sides, a distal side and a proximal side forming a rectangle. The planar element may be a tongue element which is insertable through the receiving element forward towards the distal end and slightly obliquely downwards. In the second position the proximal portion of the planar element may have a hook-like function, ensuring that the element remains in the locked position. Other pentagons are also possible. In principle, any position and arrangement of corners and sides with such a shape is possible as long as the required fastening and locking function is achieved.
The mechanism disclosed herein allows for relatively simple manufacturing of the above-described parts. A mold, which is a hollowed-out block filled with a liquid or a pliable material such as plastic, may be used to make the first and second parts. The elements of the first part may be moulded as one piece and the elements of the second part may be moulded as one piece. Each workpiece may be attached to each article while curing, thereby attaching the workpiece to the article using a curing process.
Details of engagement and locking functions
The first and second portions of the fastener may be attached to one another in a second, locked position. The engaging elements of the first part are substantially flat elements, preferably relatively thin elements, having a specific profile element. The term "generally planar element" in relation to the fasteners disclosed herein should generally be construed as being sufficiently planar to provide the described functionality. The planar element comprises an upper side and a lower side, wherein the lower side is the side facing the second portion. The upper side does not necessarily have to be completely flat. In particular, the portion of the upper side which is not locked below the receiving element of the second part does not necessarily have to be flat. The receiving elements of the second part have corresponding openings which are slightly smaller than the engaging elements in the same direction. The distal end of the engaging element can thereby be placed, for example slidingly inserted, in the opening of the receiving element in a forward direction along the first dimension such that it is placed below the corresponding distal portion of the opening of the receiving element. From this position, the opposite side, i.e. the proximal side, of the engaging element can then be pushed into a position such that in the locked position the proximal side is arranged below the corresponding proximal side of the opening of the receiving element. The opening profile of the opening in the second dimension may have substantially the same width as the second profile. The first dimension may be defined as the length direction, e.g. from the proximal portion (4) to the pointed distal end (12) in fig. 1. The second dimension, which is also defined as the width, may be the direction between the parallel sides (5, 6) of fig. 1. The locking position provides an arrangement in which the engaging element and the receiving element are arranged to resist strain in all directions.
In one embodiment, the planar element of the engagement element comprises a flat pointed distal engagement section. The opening of the receiving element may comprise a flat pointed distal receiving section corresponding to the flat pointed distal engaging section. This arrangement may allow the engaging element to be inserted more easily under the receiving element and may also assist in preventing further movement of the engaging member in the length direction at a predetermined point defined by the shape of the pointed and/or tapered shapes of the engaging element and the receiving element.
The receiving element may also be a substantially flat element as the engaging element. In one embodiment, in the locked position, the planar member and the receiving member of the engaging member may be configured in a parallel position relative to each other, as shown in fig. 3C.
In one embodiment, the distal portion of the planar element is configured such that it can be slid into the opening of the receiving element and under the distal portion of the receiving element in a forward direction along a first dimension, as shown in fig. 3A. Whereby the flat element is positioned slightly inclined with respect to the receiving element. The planar element may be further configured such that it may then be slid in a rearward direction along the first dimension such that the proximal end of the engagement element slides below the proximal portion of the opening to terminate in a locked position, as shown in fig. 3C.
The planar element of the engaging element may be made of a flexible and/or elastic material, wherein the planar element is bendable in an upward direction. In particular, a section of the planar element adjacent to the proximal end may be bendable in an upward direction. An example of such an arrangement is shown in fig. 3B. The flexibility of the element makes it possible to bend it, preferably by pushing it downwards, so that the proximal end moves to the locking position when it is sufficiently bent. Positioning into the locked position may result in a snap and/or a sound or impression of the snap. The position shown in fig. 3B, where the planar element flexes, may be a predetermined position relative to the second portion. The predetermined position may be defined by, for example, the position of an attachment portion (33) of the second portion that blocks the distal side (12) of the planar element in a predefined position. The attachment portion (3) of the first part may also provide this blocking function.
Generally, the first part may have a certain freedom of movement in the second, locked position. This mechanism allows the fastener to be designed to allow the first portion to be more or less flexible relative to the second portion while still providing a useful fastening/locking mechanism.
In one embodiment, the proximal end is curved and positioned on an upper side of the receiving element of the second portion in the first configuration. The proximal end may thereafter be positioned below the attachment portion of the second portion in a second configuration corresponding to a second, locked position. In this embodiment, the proximal end may be manually urged by a user from the first configuration to the second configuration. The proximal end may snap or snap into a second, locked position.
Attachment to articles/garments
The attachment portion may be attached to an article, such as a garment, in a variety of ways. In one embodiment, the attachment portion of the first portion may be directly attached, such as glued or sewn, to the first article. Similarly, the attachment portion of the second portion may be directly attached, such as glued or sewn, to the second piece of the article. The attachment portion does not necessarily have to be attached directly to the first and second items, but may also have additional elements connecting between the attachment portion and the items. The attachment portion of the first part may thus also comprise a second attachment portion connected to said attachment portion and attachable, such as glued or sewn, to the first item. The second attachment portion may be arranged on the opposite side of the garment, e.g. in the form of a plate, and may be attached to the attachment portion of the first portion through the garment by means of e.g. a pin (pins) or an adhesive. Similarly, the attachment portion of the second portion may also comprise a second attachment portion connected to said attachment portion and attachable, such as glued or sewn, to a second item. Likewise, the second attachment portion of the second part may be arranged on the opposite side of the garment, e.g. in the form of a plate, and may be attached to the attachment portion of the second part through the garment by means of e.g. a pin (pins) or an adhesive.
Preferably, the engaging member is arranged at a distance from the first item. The reason is that in the locked position the engaging member is located below the receiving element. Therefore, preferably there should be a certain space between the engaging element and the first article corresponding to the thickness of the receiving element. Thus, in one embodiment of the fastener disclosed herein, the engaging element comprises a first spacer element arranged to hold the engaging element at a minimum distance from the attachment point of the first article. The size of the first distance element, more particularly the width of the attachment portion (3) in fig. 1, is preferably such that the first distance element can be introduced through the opening of the receiving element. Preferably, the receiving element also comprises a distance element arranged to hold the receiving element at a minimum distance from the attachment point of the second item. As the engaging member may require a cavity in the locked position. Thus, in one embodiment of the fastener disclosed herein, the minimum distance is to the height of the planar element that is the engaging element.
Visual indication-marking of socks
The present disclosure also relates to a visual indicator, such as a visual indicator textile strip, for a textile surface, such as a garment, comprising:
-an attachment layer attachable to the textile surface;
-a cover layer attachable on top of the attachment layer, the cover layer having a plurality of openings, each opening having a removable cover member;
wherein each opening exposes an indication, such as a color and/or character, upon removal of the cover member, such that combined removal of the cover member produces a combined indication that serves as a visual indicator for the textile surface.
The garment may be sold in a configuration in which all openings are initially covered. Each cover may be removable, preferably permanently removable. By removing the cover members in combination, the user can create a combination of colors. The color combination can then be used as a selected visual indication to the user of the garment. In a home, each person may have his/her own color combination. Thus, in one embodiment of the visual indicator, the exposed indication is a different color. Preferably, the cover member is made of a non-transparent material.
In one embodiment, the cover member has a perforation to pull the cover member away along the contour. The lid member may also include a pull tab.
There are several possible layers and arrangements of indications. In one embodiment, the indication is placed directly on the attachment layer, which is exposed through the openings for those openings from which the removable cover has been removed. For example, the exposed indication may be a stained, painted, or colored area of the attachment layer. Another solution is to arrange an additional indicator layer between the attachment layer and the cover layer at least in the opening.
The number of openings and associated visual indications may be configured to distinguish an appropriate number of garments or garment groups. In one embodiment of the visual indicator, the covering layer of the visual indicator has at least three openings, preferably at least four openings, even more preferably at least five openings. Further, the indication need not be a color, but may also be a pattern, character, symbol, or other indication.
Detailed description of the drawings
The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings are exemplary and are intended to illustrate some features of the fastening mechanisms for garments disclosed herein and should not be construed as limiting the invention disclosed herein.
Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a first part (1) of a fastener. The first part (1) has an attachment portion (3) which may be attached directly to the article/garment or to another part. The first part (1) has an engagement element (2) in the form of a flat element (2). The flat element (2) has a straight proximal portion (4) and a tapered, pointed distal portion (7) and two parallel opposite side portions (5, 6) connecting the distal side portion (12) and the proximal opposite side portion (4). This embodiment can be considered as a pentagon, wherein the distal side (7) comprises two sides forming a pointed shape. The pentagon thus has five corner points (8, 9, 10, 11, 12).
Fig. 2 illustrates an embodiment of the second portion (20) of the fastener, the second portion (20) being configured to receive and lock the first portion. The second portion (20) has an opening (22) having a shape corresponding to the first portion but having an opening profile in the first dimension (length direction) that is slightly smaller than an engagement profile (32) of the planar element of the engagement element. An imaginary engagement contour (32) of the planar element of the engagement element is indicated by a dashed line (32). The second portion includes a planar receiving element (21) defining an inner opening (22) for receiving the engagement element. The opening (22) has a straight proximal portion (23) and a tapered, pointed distal portion (26) and two parallel opposite side portions (24, 25) connecting the distal side portion (26) and the proximal opposite side portion (23). This embodiment can be considered as a pentagon, wherein the distal side (26) comprises two sides forming a pointed shape. The pentagon thus has five corner points (27, 28, 29, 30, 31). The space below the receiving element (21), i.e. the space between the receiving element (21) and the second item (not shown), defines a chamber for receiving and holding the engaging element of the first part.
Fig. 3A to 3C show side cross-sectional views of one embodiment of a fastener comprising a first part (1) and a second part (20) during fastening. The first part has a flat engagement element (2) and an attachment element (3). Fig. 3A shows the engagement element (2) inserted into the opening of the receiving element in a forward direction along a first dimension such that the distal side is positioned below the corresponding distal side of the receiving element (21). In fig. 3B it can be seen how the engaging element (2) is pushed downwards, optionally also forwards, in order to snap the proximal side (4) under the corresponding proximal side of the receiving element (21). The locked position is shown in fig. 3C, where the engaging element (2) is held in the cavity defined by the space between the receiving element (21) and the second item (not shown). The second portion has an attachment portion (33) which also keeps the receiving element (21) at a distance from the second item (not shown).
Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of a visual indicator (40) for a textile surface in the form of a visual indication strip. The visual indicator has four openings (43), three of which are covered by a cover member (42). The fourth opening (43) is opened (the cover member (42) has been removed) and an indication such as a color is exposed. A cover layer (41) is attached on top of the attachment layer (not visible). The cover member (42) has a perforation seam (44) to pull the cover member (42) apart along the contour.
