The reason is that small burrs in a parting line existing in an inner face of the guide flange of a slider formed by die-casting scrapes the metallic coating layer formed on the fastener element and scatters its metallic powder. Therefore, if this slide fastener is used in particularly clothes or bags required to be fashionable, the scraped metallic powder adhere to the clothes or bag. Consequently, some people complain this damages the fashionable appearance value of the clothes or bag. For the reason, improvement of a molding die for manufacturing of the slider has been considered. However, such a molding die capable of solving the above problem has not been invented.
- The invention has been achieved in views of the above described problems and an object of the invention is to provide a side fastener comprising a fastener element in which when it is intended to form a metallic coating layer on a fastener element made of synthetic resin or metal, such a phenomenon that the metallic coating layer is scraped and that metallic powder is scattered is prevented by canceling formation of the metallic coating layer on an outer side face of the fastener element with which a guide flange of a slider makes contact, thereby securing a metallic coating layer having a beautiful appearance.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a slide fastener comprising a fastener element in which such a fear that the metallic powder are scattered is prevented by also canceling formation of the metallic coating layer on an outer side face of a coupling head, which makes contact with a guide post of the fastener element, thereby securing a metallic coating layer having a beautiful appearance.
- And another object of the invention is to provide a slide fastener comprising a fastener element in which a metallic coating layer having a different beautiful appearance depending thereon is formed by specifying the shape of the fastener element.
- Also another object of the invention is to provide a slide fastener comprising a fastener element in which a metallic coating layer having a different beautiful appearance depending thereon is formed by specifying the shape of the slide fastener.
- Further object of the invention is to provide a slide fastener in which a metallic coating layer formed on the fastener element can be made to function effectively by specifying the configuration of sewing yarn, weaving yarn and warp knitting yarn for attaching and fixing the fastener element onto a fastener tape.
- And further object of the invention is to provide a slide fastener in which the metallic coating layer formed on the surface of the fastener element can be protected effectively by using a slider formed by die-casting or injection molding, which has been said to have a defect.
- To achieve the above object, according to the main aspect of the invention, there is provided a slide fastener having a pair of fastener stringers to which fastener elements are attached along facing edge portions of a pair of fastener tapes in the longitudinal direction and a slider which is slidable along the fastener elements and can couple or separate the fastener elements, wherein a metallic coating layer is formed on a top surface of a fastener element except an outer side face thereof in contact with a guide flange of the slider.

- Hereinafter, the preferred embodiments of a slide fastener of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- In the slide fastener of the present invention, as shown in Fig.2, the slide fastener has a pair of
fastener stringers fastener elements fastener tapes fastener tapes slider 17 which is slidable along thefastener elements fastener elements fastener element 1 for the slide fastener is formed of synthetic resin such as polyamide, polyester and the like. As shown in Fig. 1, thefastener element 1 of a first embodiment of the invention forms a coil-shaped fastener element 2 by winding synthetic resin monofilament in the shape of coil. This coil-shaped fastener element 2 is comprised ofcoupling head 6,upper leg portion 7,lower leg portion 8, and invertedportion 9 for connecting theupper leg portion 7 with thelower leg portion 8. Ametallic coating layer 20 is formed on a surface of theupper leg portion 7 except an outer side face of thecoupling head 6, an outer side face of the invertedportion 9, and thelower leg portion 8. - The
metallic coating layer 20 is formed by depositing aluminum, chrome, nickel, stainless, gold, silver, copper, brass or the like in the form of a thin film or creating a metallic coating by vacuum deposition, ion plating, sputtering, chemical plating or the like. Preferably, thismetallic coating layer 20 is formed in thickness of 0.001 to 1 µm. - As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, a
core cord 11 is inserted into the coil-shaped fastener element 2 comprising themetallic coating layer 20 and then, thefastener element 2 is sewed to a side edge of afastener tape 10 with thesewing yarn 12 by double ring sewing system using three yarns by two needles so as to form afastener stringer 23. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, aslider 17 is placed to catch right andleft fastener stringers 23 and the right andleft coupling heads 6 are engaged with each other to form the slider fastener by sliding theslider 17. - The
slider 17 made of metal is formed by die-casting or made of synthetic resin is formed by injection. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, in theslider 17 anupper wing plate 33 and alower wing plate 34 disposed in parallel on the side of ashoulder 31 are connected by aguide post 18, and anelement guide groove 36, in which thefastener element 2 may be inserted, is provided between respective plates. Along guide flange 19 being protruded toward thelower wing plate 34 is formed on both of side edge portions of theupper wing plate 33. Although short guide flanges being slightly protruded toward theupper wing plate 33 are also formed on both of side edge portions of thelower wing plate 34 in the shown embodiment, the short guide flange may be omitted, if necessary. And a zipperpull attaching portion 32 is fixed to a surface of theupper wing plate 33, and azipper pull 35 is attached thereto so as to swing freely. Above-describedguide flange 19 of theslider 17 has a shape suitable for the coil-shaped fastener element 2, but guide flanges disposed on the upper andlower wing plates shaped fastener element 3 or single-body fastener elements 4 and 5 made of metal or synthetic resin, which will be described later. - The
metallic coating layer 20 is formed on the surface of theupper leg portion 7 of the coil-shaped fastener element 2 and not formed positively on the outer side face of thecoupling head 6 and the outer side face of the invertedportion 9. As for the reason, small burrs in a parting line often exists in an inner face of theguide flange 19 of theslider 17 formed by die-casting or injection and even if themetallic coating layer 20 is formed on the surface of the coil-shaped fastener element 2, when theslider 17 is slid, the burrs on theguide flange 19 scrapes the depositedmetallic coating layer 20 from the invertedportion 9, thereby scattering metallic powder. Further, themetallic coating layer 20 may be peeled from an outer side face of thecoupling head 6, which comes into contact with theguide post 18 of theslider 17, so there is a fear that metallic powder may be scattered. - Therefore, when it is intended to provide the
metallic coating layer 20 on the surface of the coil-shapedfastener element 2, unless themetallic coating layer 20 is formed on the outer side face of theinverted portion 9 and the outer side face of thecoupling head 6 which theslider 17 comes into contact with when it slides, no metallic powder is scattered. Thus, a desired purpose is achieved, so that this fastener element can be used preferably in products required to have a fashionable performance. - Further, if the fashionable performance of the slide fastener is considered, by sewing the coil-shaped
fastener element 2 to thefastener tape 10 with thesewing yarn 12 which is colorless transparent or has a color similar to that of themetallic coating layer 20, favorably thesewing yarn 12 does not attract much attention in the coil-shapedfastener element 2 having themetallic coating layer 20. - According to a
fastener stringer 23 of a second embodiment shown in Fig. 6, the coil-shapedfastener element 2 is formed by winding synthetic resin monofilament in the shape of coil. In thisfastener element 2, themetallic coating layer 20 is formed on the surface of theupper leg portion 7 and not formed on the outer side face of thecoupling head 6, the outer side face of theinverted portion 9, and thelower leg portion 8. The coil-shapedfastener element 2 is sewed to thefastener tape 10 by double ring sewing system without core cord, and colorless transparent or white color yarn is used as thesewing yarn 12. Thisfastener stringer 23 also prevents the peeling off or scrapping of themetallic coating layer 20 and the scattering of the metallic powder. - The
fastener element 1 of a third embodiment of the present invention shown in Fig. 7 is a zigzag-shapedfastener element 3 formed by bending synthetic resin monofilament in the shape of zigzag and turning back with respect to the center thereof. This zigzag-shapedfastener element 3 is comprised of thecoupling head 6,upper leg portion 7 andlower leg portion 8 connected to thecoupling head 6, andinverted portion 9 for connecting theleg portions metallic coating layer 20 is formed on the surface of theupper leg portion 7 except the outer side face of thecoupling head 6, the outer side face of theinverted portion 9 of theupper leg portion 7 and thelower leg portion 8 andinverted portion 9 of thelower leg portion 8, like the first embodiment. - In this zigzag-shaped
fastener element 3, as shown in Figs. 8 and 9, a side edge of thefastener tape 10 is sandwiched by theupper leg portion 7 andlower leg portion 8 and the upper andlower leg portions fastener tape 10 with thesewing yarn 12 by arranging the double ring sewing system using two yarns by a single needle in parallel to each other, so as to form thefastener stringer 23. If thesewing yarn 12 which is colorless transparent or has a color similar to that of themetallic coating layer 20 is used, the metallic gloss of themetallic coating layer 20 looks beautiful. Further, it is permissible to dispose the looper yarn and needle yarn of the double ring sewing system in reverse. - In the zigzag-shaped
fastener element 3 also, even if theguide flange 19 comes into contact with the outer side face of theinverted portion 9 of theupper leg portion 7 or theguide post 18 comes into contact with the outer side face of thecoupling head 6 when theslider 17 slides, there is no fear that themetallic coating layer 20 may be peeled or scraped by theguide flange 19 or theguide post 18, because themetallic coating layer 20 is not formed on the outer side face of theinverted portion 9 and the outer side face of thecoupling head 6. Meanwhile, it is permissible to sew the zigzag-shapedfastener element 3 on a side edge of thefastener tape 10 to be placed thereon. - In the
fastener element 1 of a fourth embodiment of the invention shown in Fig. 10, a single-body injection-molded fastener element 4 is formed on a swollen edge portion of a side edge of thefastener tape 10 by an injection molding means using such synthetic resin as polyamide, polyester, polyacetal, polypropylene and polybutylene terphthalate. The injection-molded fastener element 4 is comprised of thecoupling head 6,upper leg portion 7 andlower leg portion 8. A concave portion in which thecoupling head 6 of a corresponding injection-molded fastener element 4 can engage is formed between thecoupling head 6a/6b and upper/lower leg portions - In this injection-molded fastener element 4, the
metallic coating layer 20 is also formed on theupper leg portion 7 andcoupling head 6 except the outer side faces of theupper leg portion 7 andcoupling head 6 like the first embodiment. If theslider 17 is placed to catch the right and leftfastener stringers 23 and then slid, the outer side face of theupper leg portion 7 of the injection-molded fastener element 4 comes into contact with theguide flange 19 of theslider 17. Also the outer side face of thecoupling head 6 comes into contact with theguide post 18. However, there is no fear that metallic powder may be scattered because nometallic coating layer 20 is formed on any place of them. - The
fastener element 1 of a fifth embodiment of the invention shown in Fig. 11 is ametallic fastener element 5 formed by die-casting or shearing of metal such as aluminum alloy and zinc alloy. Thismetallic fastener element 5 is attached to the swollen edge portion on a side edge of thefastener tape 10 by crimping so as to form thefastener stringer 23. - The
metallic fastener element 5 is comprised of thecoupling head 6,upper leg portion 7 andlower leg portion 8. Themetallic coating layer 20 is formed on a top face of thecoupling head 6 and the surface of theupper leg portion 7 except the outer side faces of thecoupling head 6 andupper leg portion 7. A base material of themetallic fastener element 5 is formed of relatively cheap metal such as aluminum alloy and zinc alloy and themetallic coating layer 20 is formed with expensive metal such as gold and silver. In themetallic fastener element 5 also, when theslider 17 is slid, there is no fear that the expensive metal on themetallic coating layer 20 may be scraped by sliding of theslider 17, because nometallic coating layer 20 exists on the outer side face of theupper leg portion 7 which comes into contact with theguide flange 19 or the outer side face of thecoupling head 6 which comes into contact with theguide post 18. - In the
fastener stringer 23 of a sixth embodiment of the invention shown in Fig. 12, when thefastener element 1 is attached and fixed to thefastener tape 10, thefastener element 1 is woven into a side edge of thefastener tape 10 with the weavingyarn 13. More specifically, thecore cord 11 is inserted within the coil-shapedfastener element 2 shown in Fig. 1 and this coil-shapedfastener element 2 is woven into thefastener tape 10 withwarp yarn 14 for weaving thefastener tape 10 andweft yarn 15 of double pick. In this case, if a colorless transparent yarn or a yarn having a color similar to that of themetallic coating layer 20 is used for thewarp yarn 14 to be disposed on top face of themetallic coating layer 20 of the coil-shapedfastener element 2, the metallic gloss of themetallic coating layer 20 is not lost. Because themetallic coating layer 20 does not affect the sliding of theslider 17 directly, there is no fear that no metallic powder may be scattered. - In a
fastener stringer 23 of a seventh embodiment of the invention shown in Fig. 13, when thefastener element 1 is attached and fixed to thefastener tape 10, thefastener element 1 is knitted into a side edge of thefastener tape 10 with thewarp knitting yarn 16. More specifically, the coil-shapedfastener element 2 shown in Fig. 1 is knitted into a side edge of thefastener tape 10 having warp knitting structure withwarp knitting yarn 16 such as chain knitting yarn, two needle stitch yarn, tricot yarn or the like. If colorless transparent yarn or a yarn having a color similar to that of themetallic coating layer 20 is used for thewarp knitting yarn 16 to be disposed on the top face of themetallic coating layer 20 of the coil-shapedfastener element 2, the metallic gloss of themetallic coating layer 20 is not lost. Because themetallic coating layer 20 does not affect the sliding of theslider 17 directly, there is also no fear that the metallic powder may be scattered. - Further, by forming the
fastener element 1 with colorless transparent material, it does not attract much attention that there is nometallic coating layer 20 on the outer face of thefastener element 1, thereby improving the good appearance of the slide fastener. - The slider fastener of the present invention has the above-described structure, and the following effects are exerted with this structure.
- According to the invention, the
metallic coating layer 20 is formed on the top side surface of thefastener element 1, except the outer side face thereof which makes contact with theguide flange 19 of theslider 17 and the outer side face of thecoupling head 6 which makes contact with theguide post 18 of theslider 17. As a result, such a phenomenon that themetallic coating layer 20 is scraped and metallic powder is scattered by contact with small burrs existing in theguide flange 19 or theguide post 18, is prevented. Thus, thefastener element 1 having a beautiful metallic gloss can be used for a long term and a cheap, fashionable slide fastener can be provided to meet user's demands. - And the invention can be applied to various types of the
fastener elements 1, such as the coil-shapedfastener element 2, zigzag-shapedfastener element 3, injection-molded fastener element4, made of synthetic resin and metallic single-unit fastener elements 5. As a result, in addition to the effect of the first or second aspect, there is an effect that various types offastener elements 1 having a beautiful metallic gloss can be supplied to satisfy user's demands. - Further, the
fastener element 1 is sewed to a side edge of thefastener tape 10 withsewing yarn 12 or woven into with weavingyarn 13 or knitted into withwarp knitting yarn 16. As a result, thefastener element 1 having a beautiful metallic gloss can be applied to various types of the slide fasteners easily, so that a beautiful slide fastener can be produced. - And further, the
sewing yarn 12, weavingyarn 13 andwarp knitting yarn 16 to be disposed on top of thefastener element 1 for fixing thefastener element 1 onto thefastener tape 10 is formed of a transparent yarn or a yarn having a color similar to that of themetallic coating layer 20. As a result, the yarn does not attract muoh attention, so that without hampering the function of themetallic coating layer 20 of thefastener element 1, the beautiful metallic gloss can look more beautiful. - Still further, the
slider 17 is formed by die-casting or injection molding using metal or synthetic resin. As a result, even if a conventional slider is used, there is no fear that themetallic coating layer 20 formed on thefastener element 1 may be damaged, so that the beautiful metallic gloss can be maintained for a long term. Therefore, the effects which the present invention exerts are very conspicuous.
