Definitions

  • Zippers whose rows of coupling elements consist of a continuous strand of plastic, are usually manufactured in such a way that the plastic strand (monofilament) is deformed into a helical coil or shaped like a longitudinally folded meander, provided with dome cams and fastened to a carrying strap on each side by sewing or weaving .
  • zippers are known, the helix of which is formed during the weaving process for the carrier tape in that the plastic strand is inserted as a weft thread (on a traditional boat loom).
  • the screw coil is produced on a needle loom, the screw coil being produced as an additional weft thread at the weaving point by winding it around a mandrel.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a zipper of the type described above and a method for its production, which avoid the disadvantages described; in particular, the zipper should be able to be produced particularly quickly and economically, be highly functional and permit dyeing in continuous dyeing systems with squeeze rollers.
  • the meander profile is advantageously inserted in a weft-like manner in every second stitch of the edge wales.
  • the two strips of textile knitted fabrics are advantageously joined together by sewing, gluing or ultrasonic welding.
  • the continuous strand of plastic can advantageously be inserted into every second open stitch of the edge wales.
  • a further development of the method according to the invention consists in that the two strips of textile knitted fabrics lying on top of one another are connected to one another by sewing, gluing or ultrasonic welding.
  • the zipper according to the invention can be produced on any suitable crochet gallon or weft knitting machine (Raschel machine).
  • a continuous strand of plastic 1 is introduced as a weft by means of a weft layer during the stitch formation so that two knitted fabrics 2, 2a formed by means of further textile weft and crochet threads are connected by the synthetic strand.
  • the thread layer for the plastic strand moves from one stop to the other, placing the plastic strand as a weft thread in each of at least one of the open stitches on the edge areas of the two resulting knitted fabrics, and remains there until the stitch formation is complete and the knitted fabric continues to move Working direction.
  • the weft threading device for the plastic strand is returned to the starting point at the next or only after a later stitch formation, and the plastic strand is reinserted in the stitches of the two knitted fabrics arranged in the edge region.
  • the knitted fabrics can then be permanently bonded to one another by means of heat or ultrasound treatment or by other suitable measures.
  • Two such strips each form a zipper, the coupling elements being formed by the legs of the folded S-shaped meandering profiles and the supporting bands by the knitted fabrics lying one on top of the other.
  • the semi-finished product in the form of flat, ribbon-shaped knitted fabrics can also be processed on continuous dyeing machines with an S-shaped plastic strand that is also still lying flat.
  • the carrier tapes are formed from two layers of knitted fabric instead of one layer of woven fabric or knitted fabric per side as in known zippers, there are no disadvantages with regard to the economy of the zipper according to the invention, since the two layers 2, 2a can be made correspondingly wider. There is even the additional advantage that, due to the stitch division, which is increased by up to twice the value compared to a single-layer design, much stronger crochet hooks can be used, with the corresponding positive effects on wear, stability and working speed.
  • the two knitted fabrics connected by means of an S-shaped plastic strand are given different widths. After the meander profile has been folded, a double knitted layer is created only in the edge area of the supporting tape, which supports the row of coupling elements.
  • the narrower knitted strip must be securely connected to the wider one in order to prevent the row of coupling elements from unfolding under load. This can be done, for example, by a longitudinal seam or by gluing, for example by means of a thermoplastic compound, or by means of ultrasound welding - if the knitted fabric is made of thermoplastic yarn.
