Abstract

A first closure part (11), provided with a pile (14) exhibiting hooks interacts with a second closure part (12), provided with a pile (15) exhibiting loops. In order to protect the pile (14, 15) of the closure parts (11, 12) from overloading in terms of pressure, each of the closure parts (11, 12) has a pressure-resistant spacer (16) which flanks the pile and whose thickness corresponds at most to the height of the assigned pile, but is preferably slightly less. <IMAGE>

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Klettenreissver­schluss nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanpruches 1, ein mit einem solchen Verschluss versehenes biegsames Band, sowie eine Verwendung des biegsamen Bandes. Bekanntlich hat ein Klettenreissverschluss zwei flächige Verschlussteile, die je einen Flor aufweisen, und die - wenn gegenseitig mit geringem Druck in Berührung gebracht - aneinander haf­ten. Die in gegenseitigen Eingriff gebrachten Verschluss­teile vermögen ganz erheblichen Kräften zu widerstehen, soweit diese etwa parallel zu ihrer Fläche verlaufen. Beide Verschlussteile können sodann durch abhebendes Abreissen wieder voneinander getrennt werden.The present invention relates to a Velcro zipper according to the preamble of patent claim 1, a flexible band provided with such a closure, and a use of the flexible band. As is known, a Velcro zipper has two flat closure parts, each of which has a pile, and which, when brought into contact with one another with slight pressure, adhere to one another. The locking parts brought into mutual engagement are able to withstand very considerable forces insofar as they run approximately parallel to their surface. The two closure parts can then be separated from one another again by lifting them off.

Dabei gibt es zweierlei Klettenreissverschlüssen. Bei der einen Art, beispielsweise bei jener, die unter dem Marken­namen "Velcro" bekannt ist, besitzt das eine Verschluss­teil einen Flor, der ausschliesslich aus Haken besteht und das andere Verschlussteil einen Flor der ausschliesslich aus Schlingen besteht. Bei der anderen Art Klettenreissver­schlüsse besitzen beide Verschlussteile einen Flor der so­wohl Haken als auch Schlingen aufweist. Die Erfindung be­trifft nun einen Klettenreissverschluss der einen oder der anderen Art.There are two types of Velcro zippers. In one type, for example in the one known under the brand name "Velcro", one closure part has a pile which consists exclusively of hooks and the other closure part has a pile which consists exclusively of loops. In the other type of Velcro zippers, both fastener parts have a pile that has both hooks and loops. The invention now relates to a Velcro zipper of one type or the other.

Bei den bekannten Klettenreissverschlüssen ist der Flor der Verschlussteile ein relativ heikles Element. Namentlich die aus einem Monofilament bestehenden Haken können bei wieder­holter und starker Druckbeanspruchung, beispielsweise gegen eine harte Unterlage, sich bleibend deformieren. Auch die Schlingen des Schlingenflors können mit der Zeit auf das betreffende Grundgewebe flachgedrückt werden. In beiden Fällen führen solche "Alterungs"-Erscheinungen dazu, dass die beiden Verschlussteile allmählich nicht mehr so griffig und mit der Zeit nicht mehr ausreichend aneinander haften. Dasselbe trifft zu, wenn ein Klettenverschluss, dessen Ver­schlussteile miteinander im Eingriff stehen, über längere Zeit einer Ueberbeanspruchung auf Druck ausgesetzt ist.In the known Velcro zippers, the pile of the fastener parts is a relatively delicate element. In particular, the hooks, which consist of a monofilament, can permanently deform under repeated pressure, for example against a hard surface. The loops of the loop pile can also be flattened over time on the relevant base fabric. In both cases, such "aging" phenomena mean that the two closure parts gradually become less grippy and do not adhere sufficiently to one another over time. The same applies if a Velcro fastener, the fastener parts of which are in engagement with one another, is exposed to pressure for a prolonged period.

Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Kletten­reissverschluss der eingangs genannten Art derart zu ver­bessern, dass der Flor beider Verschlussteile, ob in ge­löstem Zustand oder in gegenseitigem Eingriff gegen eine Ueberbeanspruchung auf Druck weitgehend geschützt bleibt, so dass der Flor keinen Schaden erleidet.It is therefore an object of the invention to improve a Velcro zipper of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the pile of both closure parts, whether in the released state or in mutual engagement, remains largely protected against excessive pressure, so that the pile does not suffer any damage.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe weist der vorgeschlagene Kletten­reissverschluss die in Kennzeichen des Patentanspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmale auf.To solve this problem, the proposed Velcro zipper has the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Das mit einem solchen Klettenreissverschluss versehene, biegsame Band ist im Patentanspruch 6 definiert, während die Verwendung eines solchen Bandes im Patentanspruch 10 umschrieben ist.The flexible band provided with such a Velcro zipper is defined in claim 6, while the use of such a band is described in claim 10.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen des Klettenreissverschlusses sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen 2 bis 5 und des Bandes in den abhängigen Ansprüchen 7 bis 9 umschrieben.Advantageous embodiments of the Velcro zipper are described in the dependent claims 2 to 5 and the tape in the dependent claims 7 to 9.

Auch wenn die Erfindung nachstehend anhand eines bieg­samen Bandes und namentlich eines solchen, das als Wickel­band für Wickel aus Flächengebilden, beispielsweise Drucke­ reiprodukten wie Zeitungen, verwendet wird, versteht es sich, dass der erfindungsgemässe Klettenreissverschluss sich überall dort verwenden lässt, wo auch bisher Kletten­reissverschlüsse verwendet wurden. Dies trifft namentlich für die Bekleidungsindustrie einschliesslich der Schuh­industrie zu. Darüber hinaus eröffnet der erfindungsgemässe Klettenreissverschluss weitere, bisher nicht für praktika­bel gehaltene Anwendungsgebiete, beispielsweise die aus­wechselbare Befestigung einer Laufsohle an die Brandsohle eines Schuhes, oder die lösbare Befestigung eines Sockels eines schweren Gerätes an einer bestimmten Stelle. Ferner ist zu beachten - wie eingangs bereits erwähnt, dass die Erfindung sich auch auf solche Klettenreissverschlüsse er­streckt, bei denen beide Verschlussteile dieselbe Art von Flor aufweisen, nämlich einen Flor der sowohl Schlingen als auch Haken aufweist.Even if the invention is described below on the basis of a flexible band and in particular one which is used as a winding band for windings made of flat structures, for example prints reiproducts such as newspapers, it is understood that the Velcro zipper according to the invention can be used wherever Velcro zippers have been used so far. This applies in particular to the clothing industry, including the shoe industry. In addition, the Velcro zipper according to the invention opens up further areas of application which were previously not considered practical, for example the interchangeable attachment of an outsole to the insole of a shoe, or the releasable attachment of a base of a heavy device at a specific point. It should also be noted - as already mentioned at the beginning that the invention also extends to those Velcro zippers in which both closure parts have the same type of pile, namely a pile which has both loops and hooks.

Der in den Fig. 1-5 gezeigte Klettenreissverschluss ist auf einem biegsamen Band 11 befestigt, beispielsweise durch Vernähung oder Verklebung. Er besitzt zwei Verschlussteile 11 (Fig. 2) und 12 (Fig. 3). Beide Veschlussteile weisen ein Grundgewebe 13 auf, das mit einem Flor versehen ist. Beim Verschlussteil 11 ist dies in diesem Beispiel ein Hakenflor 14 und beim Verschlussteil 12 ein Schlingenflor 15. Allerdings bedeckt der Flor beider Verschlussteile nicht die ganze Breite des Grundgewebes 13 sondern ist in zwei Florabschnitte 14a, 14b bzw. 15a, 15b aufgeteilt, die die zwei Randbereiche des Grundgewebes 13 belegen. Zwischen den Florabschnitten 14a, 14b bzw. 15a, 15b ist ein bandförmiger Abstandhalter 16 auf dem Grundgewebe 13 befestigt, beispiels­ weise durch Verklebung. Der Abstandhalter 16 ist aus einem druckfesten Material und besteht beispielsweise aus einem massiven und biegsamen Kunststoffband.The Velcro zipper shown in FIGS. 1-5 is attached to a flexible band 11, for example by sewing or gluing. It has two closure parts 11 (Fig. 2) and 12 (Fig. 3). Both closure parts have a base fabric 13 which is provided with a pile. In the case of the closure part 11, this is a hook pile 14 in this example and a loop pile 15 in the closure part 12. However, the pile of both closure parts does not cover the entire width of the base fabric 13 but is divided into two pile sections 14a, 14b and 15a, 15b, respectively, which the two Cover edge areas of the base fabric 13. Between the pile sections 14a, 14b and 15a, 15b, a band-shaped spacer 16 is attached to the base fabric 13, for example wise by gluing. The spacer 16 is made of a pressure-resistant material and consists for example of a solid and flexible plastic band.

Wie den Fig. 2 und 3 zu entnehmen ist, besitzt der Abstand­halter 16 eine Dicke die geringfügig kleiner ist als der zugeordnete Flor 14 bzw. 15. Im vorliegenden Fall ist der Abstandhalter um dasjenige Mass geringer als der zuge­ordnete Flor 14 bzw. 15, das ausreicht, um den Flor der beiden Verschlussteile in ausreichenden Eingriff miteinan­der zu bringen (vgl. auch Fig. 12). In Fig. 1 ist das Verschlussteil 11 unter Freilassung einer verundeten Band­zunge 17 (Fig. 4) in der Nähe des Endes des Bandes 10 auf dessen einer Seite befestigt. Dagegen ist das Verschluss­teil 12 in einem Abstand vom Verschlussteil 11 auf der anderen Seite des Bandes 10 befestigt. Das Verschlussteil 11 ist auch erheblich kürzer als das Verschlussteil 12. Der Grund für diese (in Fig. 1 nicht massstäblich wiederge­gebene) Anordnung ist, wie sich noch zeigen wird, in der bevorzugten Verwendung des Bandes 10 zu sehen. Ausserdem ist zu beachten, dass beim Verschlussteil 11 der Abstand­halter 16 länger ist als die Florabschnitte 14a, 14b und beiderends über diese Florabschnitte vorsteht. Die Endbe­reiche 16′ des Abstandhalters 16 sowohl in Fig. 4 als auch in Fig. 5 sind abgeschrägt, das heisst von stetig abnehmen­der Dicke, so dass sie nicht in einer Stufe enden. Damit kann das dargestellte Band 10 mit den Verschlussteilen 11 und 12 ohne wesentliche Unstetigkeiten beispielsweise auf eine Vorratsspule aufgewickelt werden.As can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, the spacer 16 has a thickness which is slightly smaller than the associated pile 14 or 15. In the present case, the spacer is smaller by the amount than the associated pile 14 or 15, that is sufficient to bring the pile of the two closure parts into sufficient engagement with one another (cf. also FIG. 12). In FIG. 1, the closure part 11 is fastened to one side, leaving a rounded band tongue 17 (FIG. 4) near the end of the band 10. In contrast, the closure part 12 is fastened at a distance from the closure part 11 on the other side of the band 10. The closure part 11 is also considerably shorter than the closure part 12. The reason for this arrangement (which is not shown to scale in FIG. 1), as will be shown, will be seen in the preferred use of the band 10. In addition, it should be noted that the spacer 16 in the closure part 11 is longer than the pile sections 14a, 14b and protrudes beyond these pile sections at both ends. The end regions 16 'of the spacer 16 in both Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 are chamfered, that is, of continuously decreasing thickness, so that they do not end in one step. The strip 10 shown can thus be wound up with the closure parts 11 and 12, for example, on a supply reel without substantial discontinuities.

Beachtet man die Fig. 6, so erkennt man einen nur schema­tisch angedeuten Wickel 20 von auf einem Wickelkern 21 mit Hilfe des Bandes 10 als Wickelband in Schuppenformation aufgewickelten Flächengebilden (in Fig. 6 nicht darge­stellt, in Fig. 13 mit 22 bezeichnet). Das Wickelband 10 wurde während des Aufwickelvorganges von einer Vorratsrolle 23 abgezogen und zwischen einem hier gebremsten Paar Rollen 24 hindurch zum Wickel 20 geführt. Der Weg des Wickelbandes 10 ist mit der strichpunktierten Linie 25 angedeutet. Im dargestellten Zustand werden dem Wickel 20 keine Flächenge­bilde mehr zugeführt und das Wickelband 10 hat bereits den Wickel 20 mindestens einmal zusätzlich umschlungen. Der Verschlussteil 12 ist auf der dem Wickel 20 abgekehrten Seite auf dem Wickelband 10 befestigt und hat eine Länge, die jene des Wickelumfanges übersteigt. Das Verschlussteil 11 dagegen ist auf der dem Wickel 20 zugekehrten Seite des Wicklebandes 10 befestigt, so dass nur noch das in Fig. 6 sichtbare Ende des Wicklebandes 10 auf die zuvor schon aufgewickelte zusätzliche Windung aufzulegen und leicht anzudrücken ist und der gesamte Wickel 20 ist fixiert.If one observes FIG. 6, one recognizes a winding 20, indicated only schematically, of flat structures wound on a winding core 21 with the aid of the band 10 as a winding band in a scale formation (not shown in FIG. 6, designated 22 in FIG. 13). The winding tape 10 was drawn off from a supply roll 23 during the winding-up process and passed between a pair of rolls 24 braked here to the roll 20. The path of the winding tape 10 is indicated by the dash-dotted line 25. In the illustrated state, the sheet 20 is no longer supplied with flat structures and the winding tape 10 has already wrapped around the roll 20 at least once more. The closure part 12 is fastened on the winding tape 10 on the side facing away from the winding 20 and has a length which exceeds that of the winding circumference. The closure part 11, on the other hand, is fastened on the side of the winding tape 10 facing the winding 20, so that only the end of the winding tape 10 visible in FIG. 6 is to be placed on the previously wound additional turn and pressed lightly, and the entire winding 20 is fixed .

Analoges geschieht beim Abwickeln des Wickels 20 (Fig. 7), bei dem das Wickelband wiederum zwischen den Rollen 24 hindurch vom Wickel 20 abgezogen und auf die nun angetrie­bene Vorratsrolle 23 aufgespult wird. Auch hier wird das seinerzeit am Wickelkern 21 befestigte Ende des Wickelban­des auf sich selbst auf der nun vollen Vorratsrolle 23 fixiert.The same happens when the reel 20 is unwound (FIG. 7), in which the winding tape is again pulled off the reel 20 between the rollers 24 and wound onto the supply roller 23 which is now driven. Here, too, the end of the winding tape fastened to the winding core 21 at that time is fixed on itself on the now full supply roll 23.

Im Schnitt der Fig . 8 erkennt man, dass der Kern 26 der Vorratsrolle in den an ihre Seitenflansche 27 angrenzen­ den Bereichen etwas abgesetzt ist, um den Florabschnitt, der beim Aufwickeln auf die Vorratsrolle 23 direkt auf den Kern 26 zu liegen kommt, vom Druck der folgenden Windungen voll zu entlasten. Bei den auf die erste Windung folgenden Windungen sind es die unmittelbar aufeinander zu liegen kommenden Abstandhalter 16, die die daneben liegenden Flor­abschnitte vom Druck der übrigen Windungen des Wickelbandes weitgehend entlasten.In the section of Fig. 8 shows that the core 26 of the supply roll adjoins its side flanges 27 the areas is somewhat offset in order to fully relieve the pressure of the following turns of the pile section which comes to lie directly on the core 26 when it is wound onto the supply roll 23. In the windings following the first turn, it is the spacers 16 that come to lie directly one on the other that largely relieve the adjacent pile sections from the pressure of the other turns of the winding tape.

Aus Fig. 9 ist ersichtlich, dass wenn das Wickelband 10, mit einem der Verschlussteile 11 oder 12 zwischen den Rol­len 24 hindurchläuft, diese Verschlussteile von der Druck­wirkung im Rollenspalt weitgehend entlastet sind, weil diese Druckwirkung vom Abstandhalter 16 aufgenommen wird.It can be seen from FIG. 9 that when the winding tape 10, with one of the closure parts 11 or 12, runs between the rollers 24, these closure parts are largely relieved of the pressure effect in the roller gap, because this pressure effect is absorbed by the spacer 16.

Die Seitenansicht des mit der Wickelband 10 fixierten Wik­kels 20 gemäss Fig. 10 zeigt, dass die Bandzunge 17 an dem dem Wickelkern entfernten Ende des Wickelbandes 10 durch die Verlängerung 16′ des Abstandhalters 16 über das Ver­schlussteil 11 (Fig. 2) hinaus versteift ist und daher vom Wickelumfang absteht. Damit bildet die Bandzunge 17 eine bequeme Handhabe zum Trennen der Verschlussteile 11 und 12 voneinander.The side view of the winding 20 fixed with the winding tape 10 according to FIG. 10 shows that the tape tongue 17 at the end of the winding tape 10 remote from the winding core is stiffened by the extension 16 'of the spacer 16 via the closure part 11 (FIG. 2) and therefore protrudes from the winding circumference. The band tongue 17 thus forms a convenient handle for separating the closure parts 11 and 12 from one another.

Die Frontansicht der Fig. 11 zeigt, dass die Länge der Florabschnitte 15a und 15b des Verschlussteiles 12 (Fig. 5) jene des hier nicht sichtbaren Verschlussteiles 11 bei weitem übertrifft. Ein Teil der Florabschnitte 15a und 15b ist also von aussen frei zugänglich. Aber selbst wenn der Wickel 20 auf seinem Umfang am Boden abgestützt oder abge­ rollt würde, nähmen diese Florabschnitte 15a, 15b keinen Schaden, weil der dazwischen angeordnete Abstandhalter 16 die vom Eigengewicht des Wickels 20 ausgehende Druckbean­spruchung weitgehend von den Florabschnitten 15a, 15b fern­hält.The front view of FIG. 11 shows that the length of the pile sections 15a and 15b of the closure part 12 (FIG. 5) far exceeds that of the closure part 11, which is not visible here. Part of the pile sections 15a and 15b is therefore freely accessible from the outside. But even if the winding 20 is supported or abge on its circumference on the ground would roll, these pile sections 15a, 15b would not be damaged, because the spacer 16 arranged between them largely keeps the compressive stress emanating from the weight of the roll 20 away from the pile sections 15a, 15b.

Schliesslich geht aus Fig. 13 eine weitere, vorteilhafte Eigenschaft des hier beispielsweise beschriebenen Wickel­bandes bzw. der zwischen den Florabschnitten 15a, 15b und den Florabschnitte 14a und 14b vorhandenen Abstandhalter hervor.Finally, FIG. 13 shows another advantageous property of the winding tape described here, for example, or of the spacers present between the pile sections 15a, 15b and the pile sections 14a and 14b.

Die Abstandhalter 16, die in vorliegendem Beispiel - wie erwähnt - aus einem massiven, jedoch biegsamen Kunststoff­band und an ihren Enden 16′ (vgl. Fig. 4 und 5) eine stetig abnehmende Dicke aufweisen, bilden einen idealen Einschlupf für ein flaches, spatelartiges Werkzeug 28, mit dem der Vorgang des Lösens des Klettenreissverschlusses ohne Be­schädigung der Florabschnitte eingeleitet werden kann.The spacers 16, which - in the present example - as mentioned - consist of a solid but flexible plastic band and at their ends 16 '(see FIGS. 4 and 5) have a continuously decreasing thickness, form an ideal slip for a flat, spatula-like tool 28, with which the process of releasing the Velcro zipper can be initiated without damaging the pile sections.

Während im beschriebenen Beispiel das mit den Schlingen­florabschnitte 15a und 15b versehene Verschlussteil 12 länger ist als das mit den Hakenflorabschnitten 14a, 14b versehene Verschlussteil 11, ist es selbstverständlich auch möglich, beide Verschlussteile 11, 12 gleich lang zu machen, oder das Verschlussteil 11 mit Schlingenflor und das Verschlussteil 12 mit Hakenflor zu versehen.While in the example described the closure part 12 provided with the loop pile sections 15a and 15b is longer than the closure part 11 provided with the hook pile sections 14a, 14b, it is of course also possible to make both closure parts 11, 12 of the same length, or the closure part 11 with loop pile and to provide the closure part 12 with hook pile.

Auch die Anordnung des bzw. der Abstandhalter 16 ist im beschriebenen Beispiel dem Verwendungszweck angepasst.The arrangement of the spacer (s) 16 is also adapted to the intended use in the example described.

Für denselben Verwendungszweck könnten auch an den Rand­bereichen des Bandes 10 zwei Abstandhalterstreifen be­festigt werden und der Zwischenraum zwischen diesen Ab­standhalterstreifen könnte von einem einzigen Florabschnitt eingenommen werden.For the same purpose, two spacer strips could also be attached to the edge regions of the band 10 and the space between these spacer strips could be occupied by a single pile section.

Falls den Verschlussteilen des vorgeschlagenen Kletten­reissverschlusses wegen des vorgesehenen Verwendungszweckes eine von der langgestreckten Form abweichende Form zu geben ist, ist auch die Form der Abstandhalter und der Florab­schnitte dem Verwendungszweck anzupassen. Wenn beispiels­weise beide Verschlussteile gleich gross, rund oder quadra­tisch und auf einem festen, ebenen Substrat zu verankern sind, ist es vorteilhaft, im Randbereich längs des ganzen Umfanges der Verschlussteile einen Abstandhalterstreifen vorzusehen, der gegebenenfalls durch einen weiteren Ab­standhalter in der Mitte ergänzt werden kann, während die vom umfangsseitigen Abstandhalterstreifen freigelassene Fläche mit einem (oder mehreren) Florabschnitt zu belegen ist.If the closure parts of the proposed Velcro zipper are to be given a shape deviating from the elongated shape due to the intended use, the shape of the spacers and the pile sections must also be adapted to the intended use. If, for example, both closure parts are of equal size, round or square and are to be anchored on a firm, flat substrate, it is advantageous to provide a spacer strip in the edge area along the entire circumference of the closure parts, which strip can optionally be supplemented by a further spacer in the middle, while the area left free by the circumferential spacer strip is to be covered with one (or more) pile section.
