Description
- The present invention relates to a slide fastener, and more particularly to a separable slide fastener having a separable bottom end stop assembly.
- Numerous slide fasteners of the type described are known, in which the separable bottom end stop assembly comprises a first pin member attached to one stringer, a second pin member attached to the other stringer and a box-like socket member integrally formed with the first pin member for receiving the second pin member in collateral relation to the first pin member.
- The first and second pin members have their respective one ends both disposed in abutting relation to the inner bottom wall of the socket member when initiating the coupling operation of the fastener by means of a slider. In the event that there was deviation or misalignment in the relative positions of the two pin members due to error in manufacture or in mounting positions of these parts, the coupling elements on the respective stringers would become mis-meshed or otherwise interfere with each other, making the slider inoperable.
- With the foregoing drawback of the prior art in view, the present invention is aimed at the provision of a separable slide fastener which is equipped with a separable bottom end stop assembly devised to allow smooth starting of the slider and effect correct, orderly meshing or coupling engagement of the fastener stringers.
- According to the invention, there is provided a separable slide fastener comprising a pair of fastener stringers each carrying a row of fastener elements, a slider movable along said pair of stringers to open and close the fastener, and a separable bottom end stop assembly mounted on the bottom ends of said stringers and having a first pin member secured to one of said stringers and a second pin member to the other stringer, and a socket member integral with said first pin member and releasably receiving said second pin member. The first pin member in assembled position of the assembly has its lower end disposed short of the inner bottom wall of the socket member to provide a clearance therebetween, the second pin member having its lower end disposed in abutting engagement with the inner bottom wall of the socket member.
- The invention will be better understood from reading the following description in light of the accompanying drawings which illustrate by way of example certain preferred embodiments which the invention assumes in practice.
- Figure 1 is an enlarged plan view, partially sectional, of a portion of a separable slide fastener embodying the invention;
- Figures 2 and 5 inclusive are schematic plan views utilized to explain the sequence in which the separable bottom end stop assembly is mounted on the fastener; and
- Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line VI-VI of Figure 5, showing a modification according to the invention.
- Referring now to the drawings and Figure 1 in particular, there is shown a
separable slide fastener 10 which comprises a pair of oppositely disposedfastener stringers stringer tape 13, (14) and a row of helically coiledinterlocking elements 15, (16) mounted on and along an inner longitudinal edge thereof by means of asewn seam 17. - A
slider 18 is threaded on theopposed fastener stringers elements slide fastener 10. - The
stringer tapes plastic film 19. - A separable bottom
end stop assembly 20 comprises afirst pin member 21 on onestringer 11, asecond pin member 22 on theother stringer 12 and asocket member 23 integral with thefirst pin member 21 and releasably receiving thesecond pin member 22 in collateral relation to thepin 21 to couple thestringers - The
socket member 23 has afirst bore 23a for receiving thefirst pin member 21 and asecond bore 23b for receiving thesecond pin member 22. - According to an important aspect, the separable bottom
end stop assembly 20 when assembled as shown in Figure 1 has thefirst pin member 21 mounted with the lower end 21' thereof short of thebottom wall 23a' of thefirst bore 23a in thesocket member 23 so as to provide a clearance or gap H between the lower end 21' of thefirst pin 21 and the bottom wall 23a'of thesocket 23. - The
second pin member 22 is slightly longer than thefirst pin member 21, and when assembled, has its lower end 22' in abutting engagement with thebottom wall 23b' of thesecond bore 23b in thesocket member 23. - Referring now to Figures 2 to 5 inclusive, there is shown the sequence in which the respective parts of the
separable stop assembly 20 are mounted on thestringers second pin members stringer tapes films 19, respectively. Theslider 18 is threaded through the twopin members elements socket member 23 is then threaded over therespective pin members stringers first pin member 21 but is disposed for releasable engagement with respect to thesecond pin member 22 to provide a separable function of thefastener 10, as shown in Figure 5. - In this assembling operation, the
second pin 22 is inserted through thebore 23b until its lower end 22' comes into abutting engagement with thebottom wall 23b' of thesocket member 23. With this position unchanged, thesocket member 23 is joined fixedly with thefirst pin member 21. - In the event that there occurred some deviation or displacement in the relative positions of the first and
second pin members first pin member 21 can be adjusted in position with reference to thesecond pin member 22 within an allowance provided by the clearance H between its lower end 21' and thebottom wall 23a' of thebore 23a in thesocket member 23. - Figure 6 shows a modification in which a
second pin member 24 is provided withshoulder portions 25, 25' engageable with complementarily shapedledges 26, 26' of asocket member 27, whereby thesecond pin member 24 is retained in abutting engagement with thesocket member 27 in lieu of the above described embodiment in which thesecond pin member 22 has its lower end 22' disposed in abutting engagement with thebottom wall 23b' of thesocket member 23.
