Abstract

The invention relates to a lockable slider for slide fasteners, in whose one side piece (12) a pin (18) or the like is mounted, which is displaceable perpendicular to the slider and is displaced by a spindle into its end positions according to Figure 4, the pin (18) extending into the slide fastener teeth in the one end position and releasing the teeth in the other end position. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sicherheitsreissverschluss nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a security zipper according to the preamble of claim 1.

Reissverschlüsse haben die fatale Eigenschaft, sich immer dann von selbst zu öffnen, wenn es nicht gewünscht wird. Man hat daher vorgeschlagen (EP 0 060 461) , an dem am Schieber angeordneten Betätigungsgriff einen Stift o.ä. anzuordnen, der durch Verschwenken des Betätigungsgriffs zwischen zwei Zähne gebracht wird,sodass der Schieber sich nicht mehr von selbst verschieben und diesen damit öffnen kann. Der Nachteil dieses bekannten Verschlusses besteht darin, dass der den Verschlusstift tragende Betätigungsgriff nur recht locker am Schieber befestigt werden kann, sodass schon geringe Erschütterungen den Stift aus den Zähnen des Reissverschlusses heraustreten lassen kann, wodurch dann der Reissverschluss nicht mehr gegen selbstätiges Öffnen gesichert ist.Zippers have the fatal property of always opening automatically when it is not wanted. It has therefore been proposed (EP 0 060 461) on the actuating handle arranged on the slide a pin or the like. to be arranged, which is brought between two teeth by pivoting the actuating handle, so that the slide can no longer move by itself and thus open it. The disadvantage of this known closure is that the actuating handle carrying the locking pin can only be attached to the slide very loosely, so that even slight vibrations can cause the pin to emerge from the teeth of the zipper, which means that the zipper is no longer secured against opening automatically.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Reissverschluss zu schaffen, welcher sich nicht mehr von selbst öffnen kann, sodass der mit dem erfindungsgemässen Reissverschlusschieber versehene Reissverschluss immer fest geschlossen bleibt, sofern er nicht vorher geöffnet wird.The present invention is therefore based on the object of creating a zipper which can no longer open by itself, so that the zipper provided with the zipper slide according to the invention always remains firmly closed unless it is opened beforehand.

In den Figuren ist eine beispielsweise Ausführungsform der Erfindung dargestellt und zwar zeigen:

  • Figuren 1 bis 6 die Einzelteile, aus denen der in
  • Figur 7 teilweise geschnitten dargestellte Schieber besteht.
  • Figur 8 und 9 ist ein Deckel mit Schloss.
An example of an embodiment of the invention is shown in the figures and shows:
  • Figures 1 to 6, the items from which the in
  • Figure 7 is a partially sectioned slide.
  • Figures 8 and 9 is a lid with a lock.

In Fig. 2 ist eine Draufsicht auf einen Reissverschlusschieber 11 nach Fig. 1 dargestellt, in dessen oberer Wange 12 eine kreisrunde Ausnehmung 13 angebracht ist, deren Durchmesser der Spindel nach Fig. 4 entspricht. In der Mitte dieser Ausnehmung 13 ist eine weitere Ausnehmung 14 angeordnet, deren Durchmesser dem Achsstummel 19 der Spindel nach Fig.4 entspricht. Tangential zu dieser Ausnehmung 13 ist eine Nut 15 angeordnet, welche in einer Bohrung 16 endet, welche senkrecht zur Schieberebene liegt. In der Nut 15 liegt ein Schenkel 17 (Fig. 3) welcher an seinem Ende einen abgebogenen Teil oder Stift 18 trägt, welcher in der Bohrung 16 liegt. Die Spindel nach Fig.4 besitzt an der Unterseite einen Achsstummel 19, welcher in die Ausnehmung 14 des Schiebers 11 passt. Der ein steiles Gewinde 20 tragende Gewindeteil 21 der Spindel passt in die Ausnehmung 13 des Schiebers 11, wobei sich der Schenkel 17 mit seinem langen Teil in das Gewinde 20 der Spindel nach Fig.4 legt. Anschliessend wird nach dem Einsetzen der Spindel nach Fig.4 in die Ausnehmungen in der oberen Wange 12 des Schiebers 11 ein Deckel 22 aufgesetzt, der eine Öffnung 23 für den Durchtritt der Spindelachse 24 besitzt. Der Deckel 22 wird in bekannter Weise auf dem Schieber 11 befestigt. Die Spindelachse 24 trägt eine Querbohrung 25, in der die Achse 26 des Griffs 27 liegt und mit der die Spindel verdreht werden kann. Die Steigung des Gewindes 20 ist so bemessen, dass bei Drehung der Spindel um 180° der Stift 18 in der einen oder anderen Endstellung liegt, wobei in der einen Endstellung der Stift 18 sich in die Zähne des Reissverschlusses oder in die Endoese am Ende der Zahnreihe erstreckt und so eine Verschiebung des Schiebers 11 unmöglich macht. In der anderen Endstellung ist der Stift 18 soweit aus der Bohrung 16 herausgezogen, dass sich der Stift 18 ausserhalb der Reissverschlusszähne befindet, womit sich der Schieber frei verschieben lässt, um den Reissverschluss zu öffnen oder zu schliessen.FIG. 2 shows a top view of a zipper slide 11 according to FIG. 1, in the upper cheek 12 of which a circular recess 13 is made, the diameter of which corresponds to the spindle according to FIG. 4. In the middle of this recess 13 there is a further recess 14, the diameter of which corresponds to the stub shaft 19 of the spindle according to FIG. A groove 15 is arranged tangentially to this recess 13 and ends in a bore 16 which is perpendicular to the slide plane. In the groove 15 is a leg 17 (Fig. 3) which carries at its end a bent part or pin 18 which is in the bore 16. The spindle according to FIG. 4 has an axle stub 19 on the underside, which fits into the recess 14 of the slide 11. The threaded part 21 of the spindle carrying a steep thread 20 fits into the recess 13 of the slide 11, the leg 17 with its long part laying in the thread 20 of the spindle according to FIG. Then, after inserting the spindle according to FIG. 4, a cover 22 is placed in the recesses in the upper cheek 12 of the slide 11 and has an opening 23 for the passage of the spindle axis 24. The cover 22 is attached to the slide 11 in a known manner. The spindle axis 24 carries a transverse bore 25 in which the axis 26 of the handle 27 lies and with which the spindle can be rotated. The pitch of the thread 20 is dimensioned such that when the spindle is rotated through 180 °, the pin 18 is in one or the other end position, in one end position the pin 18 engaging in the teeth of the zipper or in the end eyelet at the end of the row of teeth extends and thus a displacement of the slide 11 impossible power. In the other end position, the pin 18 is pulled out of the bore 16 to such an extent that the pin 18 is located outside the zipper teeth, with which the slide can be freely moved in order to open or close the zipper.

Man kann auch anstelle der oberen Wange wie in den Figuren beschrieben, die untere Wange als Gehäuse benutzen, wobei am Schieber eine Bohrung angebracht sein muss, in der die Spindelachse 24 liegt. Diese Spindelachse muss dann entsprechend länger ausgeführt sein, damit der Griff 27 entsprechend angebracht werden kann.Instead of the upper cheek as described in the figures, the lower cheek can also be used as a housing, a bore having to be made in the slide in which the spindle axis 24 lies. This spindle axis must then be made longer so that the handle 27 can be attached accordingly.

Es ist leicht ersichtlich, dass die Spindel nach Fig.4 einfach mit dem Griff 27 zu verdrehen ist. Es ist aber auch möglich ein kleines Schloss 28 an der Unterseite (Innenseite) des Deckels 22 oder am Schieber 11 anzubringen, sodass der Reissverschluss erst nach dem Öffnen des Schlosses betätigt werden kann.It can easily be seen that the spindle according to FIG. 4 can simply be rotated with the handle 27. However, it is also possible to attach a small lock 28 on the underside (inside) of the cover 22 or on the slide 11, so that the zipper can only be actuated after the lock has been opened.

Der Vorteil des erfindungsgemässen Reissverschlusschiebers liegt darin, dass sich der Verschluss des Schiebers nicht von selbst öffnen kann und dass dies mit einer recht einfachen Vorrichtung ermöglicht wird.The advantage of the zipper slider according to the invention is that the slider cannot be opened by itself and that this is made possible with a rather simple device.
