Abstract

The invention relates to a device (1) for covering the ends of one or more slide fasteners, in particular of gas- and fluid-tight slide fasteners, the ends of the slide fasteners extending in straight lines and/or at various angles towards one another. The essential factor of the invention lies in the fact that it consists of a bottom plate (4) and a top plate (5), between which the backing tapes or regions of the backing tapes (6, 6') and the slide fastener chain(s) (7) are inserted, a seal (8), which is arranged between the bottom plate and the backing tapes, and a detachable connecting element (9) which tensions the bottom plate and the top plate together, all the parts of the covering device (1) being easily and completely removable (demountable). <IMAGE>

Description

Eine Abdeckung für jeweils ein Ende eines gas- und flüssigkeitsdichten Reißverschlusses ist aus der US-A-2 753 609 bekannt. Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft die Abdeckung für die aufeinander zulaufenden Enden eines oder mehrerer Reißverschlüsse, wobei die Enden der Reißverschlüsse geradlinig und/oder unter verschiedenen Winkeln aufeinanderzuverlaufen.A cover for one end of a gas and liquid-tight slide fastener is known from US-A-2 753 609. The present invention relates to the cover for the converging ends of one or more zippers, the ends of the zippers running in a straight line and / or at different angles.

In Behältern, Zelten, Verdecks oder sonstigen Gebilden aus Textilien oder textilen Verbundwerkstoffen sind häufig Öffnungen verschiedener Form und zu verschiedenen Zwecken gewünscht, welche durch das Einsetzen oder Entfernen entsprechender Paßstücke geschlossen oder geöffnet werden können, z.B. Mannlöcher, Fenster u.dgl. Dabei können die Paßstücke aus unterschiedlichen Materialien bestehen, etwa einer transparenten Folie oder einem Fliegengitter. Ebenfalls kommt es vor, daß solche Paßstücke aus unterschiedlichen Materialien aufgrund ihres Einsatzzweckes und der ihnen jeweils zuteil werdenden Behandlung beschädigt werden, verschleißen, verkratzen oder infolge sonstiger Veränderungen ihren Einsatzzweck nicht mehr erfüllen, so daß sie herausgetrennt und ein neues Paßstück gleicher Art eingearbeitet werden muß, was bei festen und dichten Verbindungen zwischen dem Paßstück, etwa einem aus transparenter Folie bestehenden Fenstereinsatz in einem Zelt oder einem Verdeck, und dem Öffnungsrand bisher mit beträchtlichem Arbeits- und Zeitaufwand verbunden ist. Aus diesem Grunde ist bereits vorgeschlagen worden, in die Ränder der Öffnungen und ihrer Paßstücke einen oder mehrere teilbare Reißverschlüsse einzuarbeiten, so daß Paßstück durch Betätigen des oder der Reißverschlüsse aus der Öffnung herausgetrennt bzw. in sie eingesetzt werden kann.In containers, tents, hoods or other structures made of textiles or textile composite materials, openings of various shapes and for various purposes are often desired, which can be closed or opened by inserting or removing appropriate fittings, for example manholes, windows and the like. The adapters can consist of different materials, such as a transparent film or a fly screen. It also happens that such adapters made of different materials are damaged, worn, scratched or no longer fulfill their intended use due to their intended use and the treatment they are given, so that they have to be separated out and a new fitting of the same type has to be incorporated What is so far with solid and tight connections between the fitting, such as a transparent film window insert in a tent or a convertible top, and the opening edge is associated with considerable effort and time. For this reason, it has already been proposed to incorporate one or more separable zippers into the edges of the openings and their fittings, so that the fitting can be separated from the opening or inserted into it by actuating the zipper (s).

Innerhalb des Bereiches, in dem sich die geradlinig und/oder unter verschiedenen Winkeln aufeinanderzu verlaufenden Enden eines oder mehrerer Reißverschlüsse befinden, wird nun eine Abdeckung gemäß Anspruch 1 angebracht, um eine feste Verbindung zwischen den Reißverschlüssen zu bilden, aus räumlichen Gründen des Einbaus und/oder der Betätigung der Reißverschlüsse entstehende Lücken zwischen diesen zu überbrücken und dabei zugleich bei gas- und flüssigkeitsdichten Reißverschlüssen eine solche Lücke sicher abzudichten.Within the area in which the rectilinear and / or at different angles ends of one or more zippers are located, a cover according to claim 1 is now attached in order to form a firm connection between the zippers, for spatial reasons of installation and / or the operation of the zippers to bridge gaps between them and at the same time to securely seal such a gap in the case of gas-tight and liquid-tight zippers.

Dabei ist es wichtig, daß sämtliche Teile der Abdeckung leicht und vollständig voneinander zu trennen (demontierbar) sind, wenn ein gedachtes Paßstück aus einer gedachten Öffnung, beispielsweise ein defektes Verdeckfenster aus transparenter Folie, ausgebaut werden soll. Nach dem Einbau eines neuen Fensters aus transparenter Folie mittels eines oder mehrerer Reißverschlüsse wird/werden die Abdeckung/en wieder eingesetzt.It is important that all parts of the cover are easily and completely separated from one another (can be removed) if an imaginary adapter is to be removed from an imaginary opening, for example a defective top window made of transparent film. After installing a new window made of transparent film using one or more zippers, the cover (s) are / are reinserted.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Ansprüche 2 bis 8.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of claims 2 to 8.

Von der erfindungsgemäßen Abdeckung in ihrer einfachsten Ausführung mit geradlinig aufeinanderzu verlaufenden Reißverschlußketten zeigt Fig. 1 die Draufsicht und Fig. 2 eine Seitenansicht, welche in der Linie A-A′ halbgeschnitten ist. Das Ende eines Reißverschlusses (2) und das andere Ende desselben Reißverschlusses oder das Ende eines zweiten Reißverschlusses (3) verlaufen geradlinig aufeinander zu und sind an ihrer Verbindungsstelle im Bereich der Reißverschlußkette(n) und in den der Kette beidseitig benachbarten Tragbandbereichen durch die Abdeckung (1) verbunden. Die Abdeckung (1) besteht aus einer Unterplatte (4) und einer Oberplatte (5), zwischen denen die Tragbänder (6, 6′) und die Verschlußkette(n) (7) eingespannt werden, einer Dichtung (8), die zwischen der Unterplatte (4) und den Tragbändern (6, 6′) angeordnet ist, und einem lösbaren, die Unterplatte (4) und die Oberplatte (5) zusammenspannenden Verbindungselement (9), vorzugsweise bestehend aus einer Schraube (10) und einer Hülse (11). Dabei ist die Hülse (11) einstückig mit der Unterplatte (4) verbunden.From the cover according to the invention in its simplest design with zipper chains running in a straight line towards one another, FIG. 1 shows the top view and FIG. 2 shows a side view which is half-sectioned in line AA '. The end of a zipper (2) and the other end of the same zipper or the end of a second zipper (3) run in a straight line towards each other and are at their juncture in the area of the zipper chain (s) and in the strap areas adjacent to the chain on both sides through the cover ( 1) connected. The cover (1) consists of a lower plate (4) and an upper plate (5), between which the carrier tapes (6, 6 ') and the fastener chain (s) (7) are clamped, a seal (8), which is arranged between the lower plate (4) and the support bands (6, 6 '), and a releasable, the lower plate (4) and the upper plate (5) spanning connecting element (9), preferably consisting of a screw (10) and a Sleeve (11).
