Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a flexible tape provided with a Velcro zipper according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a use of the flexible tape as a winding tape according to claim 10.
  • 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 these run approximately parallel to their surface.
  • the two closure parts can then be separated from one another again by lifting them off.
  • Velcro zippers 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 pile of the fastener parts is a relatively delicate element.
  • 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 base fabric in question will. 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.
  • a Velcro fastener the fastener parts of which are in engagement with one another, is exposed to pressure for a prolonged period. This also applies to the band of the generic type known from US Pat. No. 3,543,977 and provided with a Velcro zipper.
  • the proposed flexible tape has the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • a belt which has a toothed belt piece as a locking mechanism at each of its ends.
  • the teeth of the two toothed belt pieces engage with one another and prevent the belt ends from shifting in the longitudinal direction of the belt.
  • Velcro fastener parts are arranged on the side of the toothed belt pieces, the pile parts of which have a significantly lower height than the associated toothed belt pieces. The Velcro fastener parts are used to hold the strap ends in place and therefore have not the task of taking tensile forces in the longitudinal direction of the belt.
  • the toothed belt pieces which are not spacers in the sense of the subject matter of the invention, serve this purpose.
  • the embodiment shown in US-A-3,464,094 is not a tape, but a liquid-tight seal between two parts. Between the pile parts, which are attached to these two parts, elongated strips of soft compressible material are arranged, which are higher than the pile. When the closure is closed, these two compressible strips are pressed together, thereby achieving the desired tightness. This compression maintains the flexibility and compressibility of the sealing strips. The pile is not protected under pressure.
  • 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 fastened to the base fabric 13, for example by gluing.
  • the spacer 16 is made of a pressure-resistant material and consists for example of a solid and flexible plastic band.
  • the spacer 16 has a thickness which at most corresponds to the height of the associated pile 14, 15 and which in the present exemplary embodiment is slightly smaller than the associated pile 14 or 15. In the present case it is the spacer is smaller by the amount than the associated pile 14 or 15, which is sufficient to bring the pile of the two closure parts into sufficient engagement with one another (cf. also FIG. 12).
  • the closure part 11 is fastened to one side, leaving a rounded band tongue 17 (FIG. 4) near the end of the band 10.
  • 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.
  • the spacer 16 in the closure part 11 is longer than the pile sections 14a, 14b and protrudes beyond these pile sections on both ends.
  • the end regions 16 'of the spacer 16 both in FIG. 4 and in FIG. 5 are chamfered, that is to say of a 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.
  • FIG. 6 If one observes FIG. 6, one can see 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 pulled off 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.
  • 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 to 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 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 .
  • 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.
  • 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 wrap 20 is supported or unrolled on its circumference on the ground would, these pile sections 15a, 15b take no damage, 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.
  • FIG. 13 shows a further advantageous property of the winding tape described here, for example, or the spacers present between the pile sections 15a, 15b and the pile sections 14a and 14b.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the arrangement of the spacer (s) 16 is also adapted to the intended use in the example described.
  • 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.
