Definitions

  • This invention relates to a watertight slide fastener for a wet suit, a waterproof bag or other articles needed to be watertight and airtight.
  • the slider In the first-named prior watertight slide fastener, the slider itself has an ordinary shape rather than a unique shape, and the U-shape top stop for merely receiving the slider body is mounted on the top end of the slide fastener chain. Partly since the slider body is merely engageable with the top stop and partly since such engagement takes place only at the surface of the fastener chain, the slider body tends to be inclined or move when an external force is exerted on the surface of the slider body, so that the slide fastener cannot be closed with perfect watertightness.
  • a watertight slide fastener wherein a slider has first locking means on an outer surface of a slider body, and a seal portion of a top stop for tightly fitting with the slider has second locking means engageable with the first locking means.
  • the first locking means is a pair of projections extending outwardly in opposite directions from a guide flange of the slider body
  • the second locking means is a pair of recesses in confronting inner surfaces of the seal portion of the top stop for receiving the respective projections.
  • the slider has upper and lower wings disposed on upper and lower surfaces, respectively, of the slider body and projecting forwardly beyond a diamond of the slider body
  • the top stop has upper and lower grooves extending in and along an inner surface of the top stop for receiving the upper and lower wings, respectively.
  • the watertight slide fastener shown in FIGS. 1 through 10 is a so-called conceal-type watertight slide fastener.
  • This conceal-type watertight slide fastener generally comprises a slider 1, a top stop 2, a waterproof tape 3, and a pair of rows of coupling elements 4.
  • the slider 1, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, includes a slider body 5 and a pull tab 6.
  • the slider body 5 has on its upper and lower surfaces upper and lower wings 7, 8 connected by a diamond 9 and having respective front ends extending forwardly beyond the diamond 9.
  • the slider body 5 also has a pair of guide flanges 11, 11' projecting from the opposite edges of the lower wing 8 so as to define on the opposite sides of the diamond 9 a pair of guide channels 10, 10' for guiding therealong the pair of rows of coupling elements 4.
  • the guide flanges 11, 11' have on their respective outer surfaces a pair of vertical locking projections 12, 12'.
  • the guide flanges 11, 11' also have a pair of inwardly directed flanges 13, 13' extending from the respective upper edge of the guide flanges 11, 11'.
  • a pair of tape guide channel portions 14, 14' for passage of the waterproof tape 3 is defined between the upper wing 7 and the inwardly directed flanges 13, 13'.
  • An attachment ring 15 of the pull tab 6 is mounted on the upper surface of the upper wing 7.
  • the top stop 2 as shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 5, 6 and 8, is formed at one ends of opposite opening edges of the waterproof tape 3, to and along which opening edges the pair of rows of coupling elements 4 are attached.
  • the top stop 2 is formed integrally with the waterproof tape 3, using the same material.
  • the top stop 2 includes an inner seal portion 18 having at its bottom side a passageway 16 which is to be fitted in the tape guide channel portions 14, 14' of the slider body 5 and through which the diamond 9 is to pass and with which the opposite opening edges of the waterproof tape are engageable after the diamond 9 has passed the passageway 16, and at its forward side of the passageway 16 an engaging bay 17 for surrounding and tightly engaging the diamond 9 as shown in FIG. 8.
  • the top stop 2 also includes generally U-shape upper and lower outer seal portions 21, 22 formed integrally with the inner seal portion 18.
  • the upper and lower outer seal portions 21, 22 have in their respective inner surfaces upper and lower grooves 19, 20 for receiving and holding the respective projected edges of the upper and lower wings 7, 8.
  • the inner seal portion 17 has in its inner confronting surfaces a pair of vertical locking recesses 24, 24' engageable with the respective locking projections 12, 12' on the outer surfaces of the guide flanges 11, 11'. When the slider 1 is brought against the top stop 2, the locking projections 12, 12' will comes into engagement with the locking recesses 24, 24' to prevent the slider from being removed from the top stop 2.
  • the slide fastener chain includes a waterproof tape 3, such as of soft synthetic resin film or rubber-reinforced fabric, and a pair of rows of coupling elements 4 attached on and along a pair of opposite opening edges of the waterproof tape 3.
  • a waterproof tape 3 such as of soft synthetic resin film or rubber-reinforced fabric
  • the base of the individual coupling element 4 is surrounded by the waterproof tape 3 and then is clamped by a clamp member 23 from the outer surface of the waterproof tape 3.
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 show an ordinary-type watertight slide fastener according to another embodiment of this invention.
  • the slider body 5 has on its upper and lower surfaces upper and lower wings 25, 26 connected by a diamond 27 and having respective front ends extending forwardly beyond the diamond 27.
  • the slider body 5 also has a pair of upper guide flanges 29 projecting from the opposite edges of the upper wing 25 and a pair of lower guide flanges 30 projecting from the opposite edges of the lower wing 26 for guiding therealong the pair of rows of coupling elements 28.
  • the upper and lower guide flanges 29, 30 have on their respective outer surfaces a pair of vertical locking projections 31, 32.
  • the slide fastener chain includes a waterproof tape 33 and a pair of rows of coupling elements 28 attached to a pair of confronting opening edges of the waterproof tape 33 covering upper and side surfaces of the coupling elements 28 so as to form a pair of ridges.
  • a top stop 34 is formed at one element-free end of the ridges integrally therewith as extensions thereof.
  • the top stop 34 has a passageway 35 through which the diamond 27 is to pass and with which the opposite opening edges of the waterproof tape 33 are engageable after the diamond 27 has passed the passageway 35, and at its forward side of the passageway 35 an engaging bay 36 for surrounding and tightly engaging the diamond 27.
  • the top stop 34 also has a generally U-shape seal portion 37 having in their respective inner surfaces upper and lower grooves 38, 39 for receiving and holding the respective projected edges of the upper and lower wings 25, 26.
  • the seal portion 37 also has, in its inner confronting surfaces 41 defining with the ridges a pair of openings 40 receptive of the guide flanges 29, 30, a pair of vertical locking recesses 42, 42 engageable with the respective locking projections 31, 32 on the outer surfaces of the upper and lower guide flanges 29, 30.
  • the locking projections 12, 12' or 31, 32 may be formed on the top stop 2 or 34, and the locking recesses 24, 24' or 42, 42 may be formed in the guide flanges 11, 11' or 29, 30 of the slider.
  • the significant feature of this invention is that there is provided a means for locking the slider with the top stop, the means requiring no particular form.
  • the locking means may be located between the upper guide flanges 29 of the slider and the seal portion 37 of the top stop 34.
  • the slider locking and retaining means works reliably, it is possible to improve the degree of watertightness of the slide fastener.
  • the slider is prevented from any movement due to the external force exerted on the slider, irrespective of the direction of external force, so that perfect watertightness and airtightness can be secured, thus realizing a very useful watertight slide fastener.
