Description

La présente invention est relative à un ensemble stratifié qui est constitué, d'une part, par un tissu tricoté chaîne ou trame, qui comporte des boucles libres tricotées et, d'autre part, par un support, par exemple souple, de renforcement sur lequel ce tissu tricoté est collé.The present invention relates to a laminate assembly which is constituted, on the one hand, by a warp or weft knitted fabric, which comprises knitted free loops and, on the other hand, by a support, for example flexible, of reinforcement on which this knitted fabric is glued.

L'invention s'applique en particulier un tel ensemble qui est utilisé pour la confection de la partie femelle d'une fermeture dite auto-agrippante, dont les boucles sont destinées à coopérer, dans une liaison séparable d'accrochage, avec des éléments mâles complémentaires, par exemple des crochets, des éléments filiformes à tête renflée ou analogues, etc. De telles parties femelles sont connues par exemple par le document FR-A-2.632.830.The invention applies in particular to such an assembly which is used for making the female part of a so-called hook-and-loop closure, the loops of which are intended to cooperate, in a separable attachment connection, with male elements complementary, for example hooks, filiform elements with bulging heads or the like, etc. Such female parts are known for example from document FR-A-2,632,830.

Pour des raisons de prix de revient, on est amené à fabriquer un tissu tricoté dont le fond ou base est léger et très ouvert, et donc d'une structure mécaniquement fragile et dimensionnellement instable, sans pour autant sacrifier la qualité des boucles qui constituent l'élément actif primordial de la partie femelle de la fermeture auto-agrippante. Cette fragilité et cette instabilité du fond du tissu induisent des difficultés de mise en oeuvre, c'est-à-dire d'utilisation, de ce tissu en raison des sollicitations d'arrachement relativement importantes auxquelles le fond est soumis et qui proviennent de l'action des éléments mâles d'accrochage sur les boucles.For reasons of cost price, we have to manufacture a knitted fabric whose bottom or base is light and very open, and therefore of a mechanically fragile and dimensionally unstable structure, without sacrificing the quality of the loops which constitute the primary active element of the female part of the hook-and-loop closure. This fragility and this instability of the bottom of the fabric induces difficulties in the implementation, that is to say of use, of this fabric due to the relatively high pull-out stresses to which the bottom is subjected and which originate from the action of the male hooking elements on the buckles.

On est donc conduit à renforcer le tissu en le contrecollant par son fond sur un support plus résistant, par exemple souple. Ce support peut être un support intermédiaire, l'ensemble stratifié étant ensuite fixé sur un article, ou bien il peut être l'article lui-même.We are therefore led to reinforce the fabric by laminating it with its bottom on a more resistant support, for example flexible. This support can be an intermediate support, the laminate assembly then being fixed on an article, or it can be the article itself.

Toutefois, on rencontre des difficultés, lors de la fabrication d'un tel ensemble stratifié, car les boucles ont tendance à se coller également sur le support à travers le fond, conjointement avec les fils de chaînette (également dénommés colonnes de mailles), les fils de trame (également dénommés rangées de mailles) et les pieds des boucles, ce qui détruit leur pouvoir auto-agrippant du fait que leur sommet est fermement plaqué contre le support et ne peut donc pas coopérer, dans la liaison d'accrochage voulue, avec les éléments mâles.However, there are difficulties, during the manufacture of such a laminate assembly, because the loops tend to also stick to the support through the bottom, together with the chain threads (also called mesh columns), weft threads (also called rows of stitches) and the feet of the loops, which destroys their self-gripping power because their top is firmly pressed against the support and therefore cannot cooperate, in the desired attachment connection, with the male elements.

L'invention a pour but de remédier à cet inconvénient et, à cet effet, suivant un premier aspect, elle vise un ensemble stratifié du genre indiqué ci-dessus, dans lequel les boucles libres tricotées ont des pieds qui sont situés à des intersections de fils de chaînette et de trame et qui coopèrent avec des fils de chaînette et de trame, tandis que le reste de chaque boucle, qui est constitué par deux brins partant des pieds et par un sommet de liaison des deux brins, est libre, qui est caractérisé comme spécifié dans la revendication 1, en ce que les boucles ont une taille telle, par rapport au pas des fils de chaînette et/ou de trame, que, pour chaque boucle, considérée à plat contre les fils de chaînette et de trame, au moins l'un de ses deux brins intersecte au moins un fil de chaînette et/ou de trame, à distance du pied associé à ce brin.The object of the invention is to remedy this drawback and, to this end, according to a first aspect, it is aimed at a laminated assembly of the kind indicated above, in which the knitted free loops have feet which are located at intersections of warp and weft threads and which cooperate with warp and weft threads, while the rest of each loop, which is constituted by two strands starting from the feet and by a connecting vertex of the two strands, is free, which is characterized as specified in claim 1, in that the loops have such a size, relative to the pitch of the warp and / or weft threads, that, for each loop, considered flat against the warp and weft threads, at least one of its two strands intersects at least one warp and / or weft thread, at a distance from the foot associated with this strand.

Ainsi, dans l'ensemble stratifié selon l'invention, chaque boucle présente au moins un brin qui, à distance de son pied associé, vient passer ou s'appuyer sur au moins un autre fil de chaînette et/ou de trame de sorte que, dans cette zone de chevauchement, la boucle n'adhère pas au support, ce qui lui conserve sa capacité ou ses propriétés auto-agrippantes.Thus, in the laminate assembly according to the invention, each loop has at least one strand which, at a distance from its associated foot, comes to pass or rest on at least one other warp and / or weft thread so that , in this overlapping area, the loop does not adhere to the support, which retains its capacity or its Velcro properties.

De préférence, il en est de même pour les deux brins de chaque boucle et, de préférence encore, pour le sommet de chaque boucle qui est situé au voisinage du pied commun de deux autres boucles, en chevauchant ainsi ce dernier et les deux brins de boucles partant de celui-ci.Preferably, it is the same for the two strands of each loop and, more preferably, for the top of each loop which is located in the vicinity of the foot. common of two other loops, thus overlapping the latter and the two strands of loops starting therefrom.

Suivant une caractéristique avantageuse, les boucles sont obliques par rapport à la direction générale des fils de chaînette et/ou de trame.According to an advantageous characteristic, the loops are oblique with respect to the general direction of the warp and / or weft threads.

Par exemple, les pieds d'une même boucle peuvent être situés sur un même fil de chaînette, ou au contraire sur des fils de chaînette différents, par exemple adjacents.For example, the feet of the same loop can be located on the same chain thread, or on the contrary on different chain threads, for example adjacent.

Par exemple encore, les pieds d'une même boucle sont sur des fils de trame qui sont adjacents ou non.For example again, the feet of the same loop are on weft threads which are adjacent or not.

Suivant un second aspect, l'invention vise un procédé pour la fabrication de l'ensemble stratifié ci-dessus, qui est caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste, comme spécifié dans la revendication 10 : à tricoter ledit tissu pour que ses boucles aient ladite taille par rapport au pas des fils de chaînette et/ou de trame ; à appliquer un adhésif sur ledit support ; et à amener en contact ledit tissu et ledit support en vue de leur solidarisation par collage.According to a second aspect, the invention relates to a method for the manufacture of the above laminated assembly, which is characterized in that it consists, as specified in claim 10: in knitting said fabric so that its loops have said size relative to the pitch of the warp and / or weft threads; applying an adhesive to said support; and bringing said fabric and said support into contact with a view to joining them by gluing.

On comprendra bien l'invention à la lecture du complément de description qui va suivre et en référence au dessin annexé qui fait partie de la description et dans lequel :

  • Fig. 1 est une vue schématique en plan montrant un mode de tricotage préféré pour la confection du tissu de l'ensemble selon l'invention ;
  • Fig. 2 est une coupe transversale schématique éclatée de l'ensemble selon l'invention comportant le tissu de la Fig. 1 ; et
  • Fig. 3 montre schématiquement un exemple de dispositif pour la réalisation du contrecollage, dans la phase finale du procédé selon l'invention.
The invention will be clearly understood on reading the additional description which follows and with reference to the attached drawing which forms part of the description and in which:
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic plan view showing a preferred knitting mode for making the fabric of the assembly according to the invention;
  • Fig. 2 is an exploded schematic cross section of the assembly according to the invention comprising the fabric of FIG. 1; and
  • Fig. 3 schematically shows an example of a device for carrying out laminating, in the final phase of the method according to the invention.

On a schématiquement représenté en plan sur la Fig. 1 un tissu tricoté 1 à boucles, constituant l'un des deux éléments de l'ensemble stratifié selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention.Schematically shown in plan in FIG. 1 a knitted fabric 1 with loops, constituting one of the two elements of the laminate assembly according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.

Le tissu tricoté 1 est du type tricotage chaîne ou tricotage trame, et il comporte, d'une part, des fils de chaînette 2 (également dénommés colonnes de mailles) parallèles entrelacés avec des fils de trame 3 (également dénommés rangées de mailles), également parallèles, et, d'autre part, des boucles libres tricotées 4 dont chacun des deux pieds 5, situé à l'intersection de deux fils de chaînette et de trame, coopère avec les fils de chaînette et de trame. Les deux brins 6 de chaque boucle 4 partent des pieds 5 et se rejoignent, à distance de ceux-ci, pour former le sommet 7 de la boucle. Les fils de chaînette 2 et de trame 3 forment une structure tricotée très légère, très ouverte, mécaniquement très fragile et dimensionnellement instable, comme indiqué ci-dessus.The knitted fabric 1 is of the warp knitting or weft knitting type, and it comprises, on the one hand, warp threads 2 (also called mesh columns) interlaced with weft threads 3 (also called rows of stitches), also parallel, and, on the other hand, knitted free loops 4, each of the two feet 5, located at the intersection of two warp and weft threads, cooperates with the warp and weft threads. The two strands 6 of each loop 4 start from the feet 5 and meet, at a distance from these, to form the top 7 of the loop. The warp 2 and weft 3 yarns form a very light knitted structure, very open, mechanically very fragile and dimensionally unstable, as indicated above.

Conformément à l'invention, les boucles 4 ont une taille telle, par rapport au pas des fils de chaînette 2 et/ou des fils de trame 3, que, en considérant les boucles à plat contre les fils de chaînette 2 et de trame 3, au moins l'un des deux brins 6 de chaque boucle intersecte ou chevauche au moins un fil de chaînette et/ou de trame, à distance du pied 5 associé à ce brin.According to the invention, the loops 4 have such a size, relative to the pitch of the warp threads 2 and / or the weft threads 3, that, considering the flat loops against the warp threads 2 and weft 3 , at least one of the two strands 6 of each loop intersects or overlaps at least one warp and / or weft thread, at a distance from the foot 5 associated with this strand.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur la Fig. 1, les boucles 4 sont dirigées obliquement par rapport à la direction générale des fils de chaînette et des fils de trame, et les deux pieds 5 d'une même boucle 4 sont situés, d'une part, sur un même fil de chaînette 2 et, d'autre part, sur deux fils de trame adjacents 3. Toutefois, on pourrait adopter des agencements différents quant à l'orientation des boucles 4 et/ou à l'implantation des pieds 5 ; par exemple, les pieds d'une même boucle 4 pourraient être situés sur des fils de chaînette différents, par exemple adjacents, et sur des fils de trame 3 non adjacents.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the loops 4 are directed obliquely to the general direction of the warp threads and weft threads, and the two feet 5 of the same loop 4 are located, on the one hand, on the same warp thread 2 and, on the other hand, on two adjacent weft threads 3. However, one could adopt different arrangements as to the orientation of the loops 4 and / or the location of the feet 5; for example, the feet of the same loop 4 could be located on different warp threads, for example adjacent, and on weft threads 3 that are not adjacent.

Dans le mode de réalisation préféré représenté sur la Fig. 1, l'un des brins 6, à partir du pied associé 5, passe sur l'un des brins 6 de la boucle suivante 4, puis sur le fil de chaînette 2 adjacent à celui qui porte les pieds 5 de sa boucle, et il rejoint le sommet 7 qui chevauche les boucles latéralement adjacentes 4, à très faible distance du pied commun 5 de celles-ci ; l'autre brin 6, à partir du sommet 7, vient chevaucher le même fil de chaînette 2 que le premier brin 6 de cette même boucle, il passe sous l'un des brins 6 de la boucle précédente 4, et il rejoint le second pied 5. Ainsi, une boucle 4 chevauche deux fois le même fil de chaînette 2 par ses brins 6, et son sommet 7 chevauche les deux boucles latéralement adjacentes, à proximité immédiate de leur pied commun 5. Au surplus, comme montré sur la Fig. 2, les boucles 4 s'éloignent du plan formé par les fils de chaînette 2 et les fils de trame 3 dès leurs pieds 5.In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 1, one of the strands 6, from the associated foot 5, passes over one of the strands 6 of the next loop 4, then over the chain thread 2 adjacent to that which carries the feet 5 of its loop, and it joins the apex 7 which overlaps the laterally adjacent loops 4, very close to the common base 5 thereof; the other strand 6, from the top 7, overlaps the same chain wire 2 as the first strand 6 of this same loop, it passes under one of the strands 6 of the previous loop 4, and it joins the second foot 5. Thus, a loop 4 overlaps twice the same chain thread 2 by its strands 6, and its apex 7 overlaps the two laterally adjacent loops, in the immediate vicinity of their common foot 5. In addition, as shown in FIG . 2, the loops 4 move away from the plane formed by the warp threads 2 and the weft threads 3 from their feet 5.

On a schématiquement représenté sur la Fig. 2, en coupe transversale et de manière éclatée, un ensemble stratifié selon l'invention. Le tissu 1, qui présente une faible stabilité dimensionnelle et une faible résistance mécanique, est destiné à être contrecollé sur un support 8 de renfort, de toute nature appropriée, par exemple en matière plastique. Ce support peut être souple, rigide ou semi-rigide et, comme indiqué précédemment, il peut être soit un support intermédiaire destiné à être fixé ultérieurement sur un article, soit cet article lui-même. Pour le contrecollage, par exemple, on dépose sur l'une des faces du support 8 une pellicule d'adhésif 9 destinée à coopérer essentiellement avec les fils de chaînette 2, les fils de trame 3 et la partie des pieds 5 des boucles qui est située du côté de la face inférieure ou arrière du tissu 1.Schematically shown in FIG. 2, in cross section and exploded, a laminate assembly according to the invention. The fabric 1, which has low dimensional stability and low mechanical strength, is intended to be laminated to a reinforcement support 8, of any suitable nature, for example made of plastic. This support can be flexible, rigid or semi-rigid and, as indicated above, it can be either an intermediate support intended to be fixed later on an article, or this article itself. For laminating, for example, an adhesive film 9 is deposited on one of the faces of the support 8 intended to cooperate essentially with the warp threads 2, the weft threads 3 and the part of the feet 5 of the loops which is located on the side of the underside or back of the fabric 1.

Lors du contrecollage, qui s'effectue généralement sous pression mécanique comme indiqué ci-après, le tissu 1 est dans son ensemble plaqué contre le support 8, avec interposition de l'adhésif 9, et, lors de cette opération, les fils de chaînette, les fils de trame et le dessous des pieds 5 coopèrent étroitement avec l'adhésif 9, tandis que les brins 6 des boucles ne sont que partiellement collés sur le support 8 et que, de toute façon, les sommets 7 des boucles sont préservés d'un collage du fait qu'ils sont chacun protégés par un pied 5. Pour favoriser le collage, les boucles 4 peuvent présenter, au niveau de leurs pieds 5 et du côté du support 8, des petites contre-boucles 14 destinées à coopérer avec l'adhésif 9 pour augmenter la surface de contact entre le tissu 1 et le support 8. Cela renforce également la fixation des pieds de boucle 5 sur les fils 2, 3 et le support 8 et, par conséquent, aussi la structure des boucles.During the lamination, which is generally carried out under mechanical pressure as indicated below, the fabric 1 is as a whole pressed against the support 8, with interposition of the adhesive 9, and, during this operation, the chain threads , the weft threads and the underside of the feet 5 cooperate closely with the adhesive 9, while the strands 6 of the loops are only partially glued to the support 8 and that, in any case, the tops 7 of the loops are preserved from 'a bonding because they are each protected by a foot 5. To promote bonding, the loops 4 may have, at their feet 5 and on the side of the support 8, small counter-loops 14 intended to cooperate with the adhesive 9 to increase the contact surface between the fabric 1 and the support 8. This also reinforces the fixing of the loop feet 5 on the wires 2, 3 and the support 8 and, consequently, also the structure of the loops.

Ainsi, bien que les boucles 4 soient partiellement et localement collées sur le support 8, leurs sommets 7 restent dégagés et, en fonctionnement, ils peuvent coopérer librement avec les éléments mâles complémentaires d'accrochage, ce qui conserve aux boucles 4 toutes leurs propriétés auto-agrippantes. Au surplus, lors de la première séparation des deux éléments constituant la fermeture séparable, les boucles 4 sont tirées par les éléments mâles d'accrochage, ce qui provoque, par effet de pelage, la séparation des brins 6, localement collés au support 8, d'avec celui-ci.Thus, although the loops 4 are partially and locally bonded to the support 8, their vertices 7 remain free and, in operation, they can freely cooperate with the complementary male fastening elements, which keeps the loops 4 all their self properties. -grip. Furthermore, during the first separation of the two elements constituting the separable closure, the loops 4 are pulled by the male hooking elements, which causes, by peeling effect, the separation of the strands 6, locally bonded to the support 8, from this one.

On a schématiquement représenté sur la Fig. 3 un exemple de dispositif permettant de réaliser le contrecollage, pour l'obtention de l'ensemble stratifié ci-dessus, dans la phase finale du procédé selon l'invention, après que le tissu 1 a été tricoté.Schematically shown in FIG. 3 an example of a device for carrying out the lamination, for obtaining the above laminated assembly, in the final phase of the process according to the invention, after the fabric 1 has been knitted.

Cet exemple de dispositif est utilisable dans le cas d'un support 8 qui est souple et qui est une bande ou feuille intermédiaire, l'ensemble stratifié étant ensuite fixé sur un article par tout moyen approprié.This example of a device can be used in the case of a support 8 which is flexible and which is a strip or intermediate sheet, the laminate assembly then being fixed to an article by any suitable means.

Ce dispositif comporte deux rouleaux entraînés de pression 10 et 11 qui réalisent l'assemblage du tissu 1 et du support souple 8. Le tissu 1 est amené le premier à passer sur le rouleau 10, qui reçoit ensuite, par-dessus le tissu 1, le support 8. En amont du rouleau 10, le support 8 passe sous un dispositif 12 d'application ou de dépose de l'adhésif 9 sur la face du support 8 qui est tournée vers le tissu 1. Bien entendu, les boucles 4 sont situées sur la face du tissu 1 qui est éloignée du support 8, c'est-à-dire opposée à celui-ci. Le tissu 1 et le support 8, superposés sur le rouleau 10, passent ensuite conjointement dans la zone de pinçage entre les deux rouleaux pour l'obtention du collage, et l'ensemble stratifié 13 est extrait par tout moyen approprié, par exemple par des rouleaux d'appel.This device comprises two pressure driven rollers 10 and 11 which assemble the fabric 1 and the flexible support 8. The fabric 1 is first brought to pass over the roller 10, which then receives, over the fabric 1, the support 8. Upstream of the roller 10, the support 8 passes under a device 12 for applying or depositing the adhesive 9 on the face of the support 8 which faces the fabric 1. Of course, the loops 4 are located on the face of the fabric 1 which is remote from the support 8, that is to say opposite to the latter. The fabric 1 and the support 8, superimposed on the roller 10, then pass jointly in the clamping zone between the two rollers to obtain bonding, and the laminate assembly 13 is extracted by any suitable means, for example by rollers.

Si l'ensemble stratifié selon l'invention est destiné à être collé sur un autre support par la face 15 du support 8 opposée à celle qui reçoit le tissu 1, cette face de collage 15 peut être revêtue d'un adhésif permanent et, pour permettre d'enrouler l'ensemble stratifié sur lui-même en bobine avant ce collage, ou bien cet adhésif reçoit une pellicule provisoire de protection, ou bien les boucles 4 subissent, par exemple par enduction, un traitement d'anti-adhérence.If the laminate assembly according to the invention is intended to be bonded to another support by the face 15 of the support 8 opposite to that which receives the fabric 1, this bonding face 15 can be coated with a permanent adhesive and, for allow the laminate assembly to be wound on itself in a coil before this bonding, or else this adhesive receives a temporary protective film, or else the loops 4 are subjected, for example by coating, to an anti-adhesion treatment.
