Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a slide fastener comprising: a slider body having a support lug; a pull tab connector pivotally connected at one end to the support lug and having at the other end a pintle; and a pull tab detachable and pivotally connected to the pintle of the connector; said pull tab including an elongate base having at one end a generally C-shaped neck portion receiving said pintle, a closure rod supported by said base and movable with respect thereto between a first position in which said enclosure rod closes a g between opposite ends of such a C-shape or said neck portion to thereby prevent said pintle of said connector from passing through said gap, and a second position in which said closure rod is retracted from said gap to thereby allow said pintle of said connector to pass through said gap, and means normally urging said closure rod to said first position.
  • a slide fastener slider according to this species is disclosed in US-A-2 811 763.
  • the closure rod of the prior art slider comprises a tongue latch integrally formed with the pull tab's base and overlapping the C-shaped neck portion thereof.
  • said C-shaped neck portion must be comparatively thick, so that the pintle of the pull tab connector can move past the tongue latch right into the neck portion.
  • the width of the neck portion must be as large as the diameter of the pintle plus the thickness of the tongue latch. Therefore this conventional slide fastener slider is unsightly and cannot be used on garments, especially iadies * garments.
  • French patent 2,453,614 discloses a slide fastener slider having a pull tab which is removably attached to a connector pivotally connected to a slider body.
  • the disclosed pull tab however has a relatively complex mechanism by which the pull tab is removably attached to the connector and which requires a special tool or jig to detach the pull tab from the connector. Further, this complex machanism bulges on opposite surfaces of the pull tab, thus making the latter unsightly. Similar arrangements are disclosed in GB-A-1 600 308 and in Fig. 1-9 of WO-80/ 102494.
  • the present invention aims at providing a slide fastener slider having a detachable pull tab which is simple in construction with no bulges on either its top or bottom surface.
  • a slide fastener slider satisfying this requirement is characterized in that said base has a longitudinal hole in which said closure rod is telescopically received and in which, in order to urge said rod to said first position, a compression spring is mounted.
  • the C-shaped neck portion prefferably has a thickness which corresponds to the diameter of the pintle of the pull tab connector.
  • the priciples of the present invention are particularly useful when embodied in a slide fastener slider such as shown in Figure 1, wholly indicated by the numeral 10.
  • the slide fastener slider 10 generally comprises a slider body 11, a pull tab connector 12 pivotally connected at one end to a support lug 11a on the slider body 11 and having at the other end a pintle 12a, and a pull tab 13 pivotally connected to the connector pintle 12a and detachable therefrom in a manner described below.
  • the pull tab 13 includes an elongate base 14 having at one end a generally C-shaped neck portion 15, and a closure rod 16 telescopically supported by the base 14.
  • the closure rod 16 is partially received in a longitudinal or axial hole 17 of the base 14 and is movable with respect to the latter between a first or “closed” position ( Figure 2) in which the closure rod 16 closes a gap s between opposite ends of such a C-shape of the neck portion 15 to thereby prevent the passage of the connector pintle 12a through the gap s, and a second or “open” position (Figure 3) in which the closure rod 16 is retracted from the gap s to thereby allow the connector pintle 12a to pass through the gap s.
  • a compression spring 18 is mounted in the hole 17 of the base 14 to normally urge the closure rod 16 to the closed position ( Figure 2).
  • the closure rod 16 is dog-legged upwardly, i.e. toward the C-shaped neck portion 15, so that when the closure rod 16 is in the closed position ( Figure 2), its distal end 19a is engageable with the free end 15a of the neck portion 15 so as to limit the outward or rightward movement of the closure rod 16 against the bias of the spring 18.
  • the closure rod 16 is moved simply by the finger (not shown) in the direction of an arrow A against the bias of the spring 18 until the closure rod 16 is retracted from the gap s to allow the connector pintle 12a to pass therethrough.
  • the pull tab 13 can be detached from the connector 12 by simply getting the connector pintle 12a out of the C-shape of the neck portion 15.
  • the connector pintle 12a is placed in the C-shape of the neck portion 15, and then the closure rod 16, when released, is moved to the advanced or closed position ( Figure 2) by the action of the spring 18.
  • the pull tab 13 can be easily and surely attached to the connector 12 and also can be easily detached therefrom without using a special tool or jig. Further, since the closure rod 16 is telescopically supported through the base 14, there appear no bulges on either the top or bottom surface of the base 14 so that a design or emblem, as desired, can be borne over the whole area of either surface of the base 14.
  • the closure rod 16 may have on its bottom side (opposite to the C-shaped neck portion 15) a projection 20 adjacent to the heel 19b of the dog-leg shape, as indicated by phantom lines in Figures 2 and 4.
  • Figure 5 shows a modified pull tab 23 in which the base 14 has, in one side opposite to the C-shaped neck portion 15, a longitudinal slot 24 communicating with the hole 17 and in which a straight closure rod 16 has a projection 25 received in the slot 24 and slidable therealong in response to the movement of the closure rod 16 between the closed and open position.
  • the extent to which the closure rod 16 is moved is limited within the length of the slot 24.
