Description
- The present invention relates to a slide fastener assembly having a net joining structure for use in joining together a pair of confronting edges of net structure.
- A typical example of the net joining structures of the type described is disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,056,868 patented on November 8, 1977. The known structure includes a pair of warp-knitted net adapters each having a net transition region arranged for connection to one of the confronting edges of a net structure and a pair of web regions disposed at a common side of the net transition region and jointly supporting one of the stringers of a slide fastener. The net transition region comprises a mesh structure having a number of diamond-shaped meshes therein.
- The mesh structure includes adjoining regions of different mesh size arranged such that the smallest mesh size region adjoins one of said web regions and the largest mesh size region is that for connection to the edge of the net structure. The web region is composed of the warp chains of the net transition region extending transversely thereinto, and weft thread laid in the warp chains to fasten them together. Each of the stringers is sandwiched by the web regions and sewn thereto by sewing stitches.
- The net joining structure thus arranged has been found unsatisfactory in that the slide fastener stringers are likely to become wavy, puckered or otherwise deformed, because the diamond shaped meshes vary in shape or deform when severe lateral tension is applied to the net structure. The stringers thus deformed hinder smooth sliding movement of a slider along rows of coupling elements secured to confronting edges of the stringers, and cause the rows of coupling elements to split open away from each other. Furthermore, the sewing stitches extending on and across the web regions are in danger of becoming frayed or sometimes broken upon abrasive contact with rigid foreign matter. The known adapter having such knit structure is not suitable for continuous production on a warp-knitting machine.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a slide fastener assembly for joining together a pair of confronting edges of net structure, comprising a slide fastener having a pair of stringers; and a pair of warp-knitted net adapters having a number of meshes therein, each of the adapters including a net transition region arranged for connection to one of the confronting edges of the net structure, and a pair of superimposed web regions connected to a longitudinal edge of the net transition region and jointly supporting one of the stringers, said net transition region having a first portion disposed remotely from the longitudinal edge, at least one second portion extending adjacent to the web regions, and at least one third portion extending between the first and the second portions, the web regions having a mesh size smaller than that of the first, second and third portions, characterized in that said meshes in said warp-knitted net adapters are in the shape of a rectangle, and that said third portion has a mesh size larger than that of said first and second portions.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a slide fastener assembly including a pair of warp-knitted adapters having a structure strong enough to withstand severe external stresses applied thereto either in the longitudinal or in the transverse direction thereof, without deforming or otherwise damaging a slide fastener attached to the adapters.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a slide fastener assembly having an adapter which is connectable to one of the confronting edges of a net structure with utmost ease.
- The present invention will become manifest to those versed in the art upon making reference to the detailed description and the accompanying drawings in which certain preferred embodiments incorporating the principles of the present invention are shown by way of illustrative example.

Theadapter 50 is substantially the same as theadapter 18 of the foregoing embodiment with the exception that thenet transition region 51 includes a pair ofsecond portions second portions 53 includes threewarp cords weft threads 60 which, as described below in connection with FIG. 10, have longitudinal portions extending longitudinally of the warp cords 54-56, 57-59 and transverse portions extending in pairs perpendicularly to and between the warp cords 54-56, 57-59 to jointly define therebetween the rectangular meshes. As shown in FIG. 10, theadapter 50 is composed of a plurality of threads Ll-L8 each having the same pattern as a corresponding one of the threads Ll-L8 shown in FIG. 6. Each of thecentral warp cords weft threads 60 are constituted by transverse portions of the weft laid-in threads L2, L3 extending in pairs between the warp cords 54-56, 57-59. The threads L6,L7 are laid warpwise in thecord warp cords warp cords adapter 18 shown in FIG. 5. Theadapter 50 is attached to one of the confronting edges of a net structure (not shown) after having been assembled with a slide fastener stringer and a reinforcing core thread, in the same manner as described with respect to the foregoing embodiment. Theadapter 50 thus arranged is further advantageous in that lateral tension applied to the net structure is taken up more efficiently and distributed more uniformly through thesecond portions adapter 18. - An adapter shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 has a
net transition region 62 and a pair ofweb regions first portion 64 of thenet transition region 62 has a pair ofwarp cords core thread 65 extends. Differring from the foregoing embodiments, thecore thread 65 is held by and between pairs ofweft threads 68 extending transversely between thewarp cords core thread 65 into thefirst portion 64 of theadapter 61 as the latter is knitted. Theadapter 61 with thecore thread 64 knitted therein can be attached to a net structure (not shown) with utmost ease. - FIG. 13 shows a modified
slide fastener assembly 70 comprising a pair ofadapters net transition region 72 and a pair of web regions 73, 73 disposed at a common edge of thenet transition region 72. Aslide fastener 74 includes a pair ofstringers adapters slide fastener 74 has a pair of rows ofcoupling elements respective stringers stringers bottom end stop 78. A pair ofcore threads net transition regions
