The slider body D includes: a lower wing plate D1; a guide post D2 provided upright on the lower wing plate D1; an upper wing plate D3 extending rearward from the guide post D2; left and right wall portions D4 erected along left and right side edges of the lower wing plate D1; left and right flanges D5 extending from upper ends of the left and right wall portions D4 in directions approaching each other; and a mounting portion D6 provided on the guide post D2, the lock member L being swingably mounted to the mounting portion D6. The pull piece PT is provided with: a coupling ring PT1 mounted between an upper blade D3 of the slider body D and the locking member L; and a grip part PT2 attached to the coupling ring PT 1. Further, in this slider SL, by pulling the tab PT, the lock member L is lifted up, so that the lock is released.

Next, the continuous fastener chain C1 will be explained. As shown in fig. 16, the continuous fastener chain C1 has a length corresponding to a plurality of fastener chains (hereinafter, also simply referred to as "chains") C2. The chain C2 includes a pair of fastener tapes T, a pair of element rows EL, and a bottom stop portion P2. Further, a space S of a predetermined length in which the pair of element rows EL are not attached is provided between the adjacent chains C2. Further, the continuous chain C1 is supplied to the fastener assembling device 10 with the bottom stop portion P2 of the continuous chain C1 as the downstream side. The upstream side or the downstream side is based on the conveying direction of the continuous chain C1. Further, the continuous chain C1 is cut at a predetermined position in the space S by the feed cutter 21.

The gripping device 20 grips the chain C2 at the position of the supply cutting device 21, and releases the gripping of the chain C2 at the position of the non-defective product discharge device 25 or the defective product discharge device 26. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the gripper device 20 includes a pair of left and right grippers 20a, and the pair of left and right grippers 20a grips the upper end portions of the left and right fastener tapes T of the chain C2. Further, 6 clamp devices 20 are arranged on the upper surface of the rotating disk 13 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. Then, the chain C2 held by the left and right grippers 20a is suspended in the vertical direction by gravity.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the slider mounting device 30 includes: a slider holding device 31 for holding the slider SL; and a drive device, not shown, attached to the fixed tray 15 and driving the slider holding device 31 in the vertical direction.

The slider holding device 31 includes: a housing 40 having a cross section コ with an open lower portion; a front arm (1 st arm) 41 and a rear arm (2 nd arm) 42 whose upper portions are housed in the housing 40 and which are provided so as to be openable and closable in the front-rear direction; a pile member 43 vertically penetrating the housing 40 and driven to open the front arm 41 and the rear arm 42; a driving cylinder device, not shown, attached to the housing 40 and driving the pile member 43 in the vertical direction; and an extension spring 45 that is stretched between the front arm 41 and the rear arm 42 and biases the front arm 41 and the rear arm 42 to close. In fig. 4 and 6, the structure on the front arm 41 side is not shown for easy understanding of the drawings. In fig. 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13, a partial structure is shown in cross section.

The upper end of the front arm 41 is swingably supported by the housing 40 via a support pin 41 a. Further, the front arm 41 is provided with a roller 41b which contacts the cam surface 43a of the pile member 43. Further, an adjustment bolt 46 is provided on the front arm 41, and the adjustment bolt 46 adjusts the distance between the front arm 41 and the rear arm 42 in the closed state.

Further, at the lower end of the front side arm 41, there are provided: the first retainer 1 for retaining the upper panel D3 side of the slider SL to which the tab PT is attached, and the lock release device 60 for releasing the lock of the slider SL.

The upper end of the rear arm 42 is swingably supported by the housing 40 via a support pin 42 a. Further, the rear arm 42 is provided with a roller 42b which contacts the cam surface 43a of the pile member 43.

Further, at the lower end of the rear arm 42, there are provided: a 2 nd holder 70 for holding the lower blade D1 side of the slider SL, and a release device 80 for releasing the holding of the slider SL by the 2 nd holder 70.

As shown in fig. 3, the 1 st holder 50 has: an accommodating space 51 for accommodating therein the pull piece PT of the slider SL held by the slider holding device 31; and an inclined surface 52 for controlling the pull tab PT to a predetermined posture. The 1 st retainer 50 is mounted on a housing 61 of a lock releasing device 60 described later. Further, the 1 st holder 50 is disposed below the locking member L of the slider SL on the upper blade D3 side of the slider SL held by the slider holding device 31.

The inclined surface 52 is a rear surface forming a part of the housing space 51, and is formed to be inclined downward at a predetermined angle forward and downward from a lower position of the locking member L of the slider SL held by the slider holding device 31. Therefore, the tab PT that rides on the inclined surface 52 is arranged obliquely downward in a direction away from the upper panel D3 with the lock member L as a base point. That is, the inclined surface 52 can control the tab PT to a predetermined posture.

As shown in fig. 3, the lock release device 60 includes: a housing 61 attached to the front arm 41; a slide member 62 attached to the housing 61 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction; a pressing member 63 attached to one surface (a lower surface of the slide member 62 in fig. 3) of the slide member 62 in the vertical direction, and configured to press the attachment portion D6 of the slider SL toward the 2 nd holder 70 to fix the slider SL; a lock releasing member 64 which is swingably attached to the slide member 62 and which is engaged with the pull tab PT of the slider SL to release the lock; a 1 st cylinder device (1 st driving device) 65 attached to the housing 61 and moving the slide member 62 in the front-rear direction; a 2 nd cylinder device (2 nd driving device) 66 attached to the other surface (the upper surface of the slide member 62 in fig. 3) in the vertical direction of the slide member 62 and driving the lock release member 64. The pressing member 63 and the lock releasing member 64 are attached to the slide member 62, and therefore move in the left-right direction together with the slide member 62.

The pressing member 63 is a rod-shaped member extending in the front-rear direction, and a cutout 63a having a shape similar to the shape of the mounting portion D6 of the slider SL is formed at one end (the right end in fig. 3).

The lock releasing member 64 is a rod-shaped member extending in the front-rear direction, and has a hook portion 64a formed at one end (right end in fig. 3), and the hook portion 64a can enter the coupling ring PT1 of the pull tab PT and engage with the grip portion PT2. The intermediate portion of the lock release member 64 is supported by a support pin 64b so as to be able to swing in the vertical direction. Therefore, the lock releasing member 64 rocks in the up-down direction, thereby causing the hook portion 64a to move in the up-down direction.

Further, a compression spring 64c that presses the other end of the lock release member 64 downward is provided between the upper surface of the other end (left end in fig. 3) of the lock release member 64 and the lower surface of the slide member 62. Therefore, when the lock release member 64 is not moved downward by the 2 nd cylinder device 66, the state of being moved upward is maintained by the biasing force of the compression spring 64c (see fig. 3, 5, and 7). At this time, the lock releasing member 64 is in an initial state, and the upper surface of the lock releasing member 64 is substantially parallel to the lower surface of the pressing member 63 in the front-rear direction.

The 1 st cylinder device 65 is configured to drive the cylinder piston rod 65a in the front-rear direction. A slide member 62 is attached to the distal end portion of the cylinder piston rod 65 a. Therefore, the 1 st cylinder device 65 can move the slide member 62 (i.e., the pressing member 63 and the lock release member 64) in the front-rear direction by extending and contracting the cylinder rod 65a (see fig. 7).

The 2 nd cylinder device 66 is configured to drive the cylinder rod 66a in the up-down direction. A shock absorbing member 66b for pressing the lock releasing member 64 is attached to the distal end portion of the cylinder piston rod 66 a. Therefore, the 2 nd cylinder device 66 can move the lock release member 64 upward by contracting the cylinder piston rod 66a (see fig. 3, 5, and 7), and can move the lock release member 64 downward by extending the cylinder piston rod 66a (see fig. 9).

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the 2 nd retainer 70 includes: a base plate 71 attached to the rear arm 42; and a pair of left and right slider holding members 72 for holding the slider SL, the pair of left and right slider holding members 72 being provided on one surface (left side surface in fig. 3) of the base plate 71 in the front-rear direction.

The intermediate portions of the left and right slider holding members 72 are supported by the base plate (base) 71 so as to be rotatable in the left-right direction by support pins 72 a. Further, in lower portions of the left and right slider holding members 72 below the support pins 72a, pockets 73 capable of accommodating the lower blades D1 of the sliders SL are provided. The pocket 73 is divided into two parts, i.e., left and right parts, and is formed in the left and right slider holding members 72.

Further, compression springs 74 are provided at upper side portions of the left and right slider holding members 72 above the support pins 72a, and the compression springs 74 urge lower side portions of the left and right slider holding members 72 below the support pins 72a in a direction to approach each other. Thus, when the left and right pockets 73 of the slider holding members 72 are not separated from each other by the release device 80, the closed state is maintained by the biasing force of the compression spring 74 (see fig. 4 and 6). Further, a pair of regulating pins 71a are attached to the base plate 71, and the pair of regulating pins 71a regulate the rotational position of the left and right slider holding members 72 in the state where the pocket 73 is closed. Further, at the lower ends of the left and right slider holding members 72, cam followers 75 are formed which come into contact with cam members 81 of a release device 80 described later, respectively.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the release device 80 includes: a cam member 81 provided on the other surface (the right surface in fig. 3) in the front-rear direction of the base plate 71 so as to be movable in the vertical direction; and a cam driving member 85 that moves the cam member 81 in the vertical direction.

The cam member 81 is a rod-like member extending in the vertical direction, and has a cam 82 formed at its lower end toward the front, and the cam 82 contacts the cam followers 75 of the left and right slider holding members 72. The cam 82 has a triangular cross section, and left and right surfaces thereof form a pair of cam surfaces 82a that contact the cam followers 75 of the left and right slider holding members 72. Further, a cam driving lever 83 contactable with the cam driving member 85 is attached to an upper end of the cam member 81 toward the rear.

The cam driving member 85 includes: a stay 86 attached to the fixed stand 14; and a fixing lever 87 attached to a front end portion (left end portion in fig. 3) of the stay 86 and capable of contacting the cam driving lever 83. The fixing lever 87 is disposed in the left-right direction so as to be orthogonal to the cam driving lever 83.

The operation of the slider attaching device 30 configured as described above will be described below. First, the pile member 43 moves upward, and thereby the front arm 41 and the rear arm 42 of the slider holding device 31 are closed as shown in fig. 3 and 4.

Next, the slider SL is placed in the pocket 73 of the 2 nd holder 70 of the slider holding device 31 from above by a slider feeding device, not shown, as shown in fig. 5 and 6. At this time, the slider SL is sandwiched by the left and right slider holding members 72 and is sandwiched by the 1 st holder 50 and the 2 nd holder 70. Then, at this time, the tab PT of the slider SL enters the housing space 51 of the 1 st holder 50, and is brought into a predetermined oblique posture by the inclined surface 52 of the 1 st holder 50 (see fig. 8).

Next, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the 1 st cylinder device 65 of the lock release device 60 moves the slide member 62 toward the 2 nd holder 70, and the pressing member 63 presses the slider SL to fix the slider SL to the 2 nd holder 70.

Next, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the 2 nd cylinder device 66 of the lock releasing device 60 moves the lock releasing member 64 downward, whereby the hook portion 64a of the lock releasing member 64 enters the coupling ring PT1 of the tab PT, engages with the C-shaped gripping portion of the grip portion PT2, and pulls down the tab PT. Thereby, the lock member L is lifted up, and the lock is released.

Next, as shown in fig. 11, the slider holding device 31 is moved downward by a driving device, not shown, and thereby the left and right element rows EL of the fastener chain C2 are inserted into the slider SL held by the slider holding device 31. Thereby, the slider SL is attached to the chain C2.

In addition, at this time, as shown in fig. 11, the cam driving lever 83 of the cam member 81 of the releasing device 80 is in contact with the fixing lever 87 of the cam driving member 85, and thus the cam member 81 is moved upward with respect to the 2 nd holder 70. As a result, as shown in fig. 12, the left and right cam surfaces 82a of the cam 82 of the cam member 81 come into contact with the cam followers 75 of the left and right slider holding members 72, and the lower end portions of the left and right slider holding members 72 are pushed apart at intervals against the biasing force of the compression spring 74. Therefore, the pockets 73 of the left and right slider holding members 72 are opened, and the grip of the slider SL is released. Further, thereafter, the 2 nd cylinder device 66 moves the lock release member 64 upward, and the 1 st cylinder device 65 moves the slide member 62 to the initial position.

Next, as shown in fig. 13, the stub 43 is moved downward, whereby the front side arm 41 and the rear side arm 42 of the slider holding device 31 are opened in the front-rear direction. Thereafter, the slider holder 31 is moved upward by a drive device, not shown. Thereby, the slider holding device 31 is retracted above the rotation range of the clamping device 20, and the rotating disk 13 can be rotated. Then, by repeating the above-described operation, the slider SL can be attached to all the stringers C2 conveyed to the slider attaching device 30.

As described above, according to the slider mounting device 30 of the present embodiment, the slider holding device 31 includes: a front arm 41 and a rear arm 42 that open and close in the front-back direction of the fastener chain C2; a 1 st retainer 50 attached to the front arm 41 and retaining the slider SL on the upper blade D3 side; a 2 nd holder 70 attached to the rear arm 42 and holding the slider SL on the lower blade D1 side; and a lock release device 60 attached to the front arm 41 and releasing the lock of the slider SL, wherein the 1 st holder 50 has an inclined surface 52 that controls the tab PT of the slider SL to a predetermined posture, and the lock release device 60 includes: a housing 61 attached to the front arm 41; a slide member 62 attached to the housing 61 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction; a pressing member 63 attached to the lower surface of the slide member 62, for pressing the slider SL toward the 2 nd holder 70 to fix the slider SL; a lock releasing member 64 which is swingably attached to the slide member 62 and which is engaged with the pull tab PT of the slider SL to release the lock; a 1 st cylinder device 65 attached to the housing 61 and moving the slide member 62; and a 2 nd cylinder device 66 which is attached to an upper surface of the slide member 62 and drives the lock releasing member 64. Therefore, the slider SL with the automatic locking function can be attached to the fastener chain C2.
