Definitions

• the invention relates to a connecting element for the ends of the carrier tapes of underwear, for example for the ends of the carrier tapes on bras.
• Such connecting elements are usually sewn onto the ends of the two carrier bands and generally consist of an eyelet or eye band and a hook band that can be connected to it.
• the eyelets are first attached to an endless base tape by sewing in a known arrangement.
• several so-called folding tapes are sewn onto the base tape unfolded on its two longitudinal sides in a partially overlapping arrangement, the eyelets being attached to the base tape or the folding tapes together with these by sewing the folding tapes essentially parallel to the longitudinal sides of the base tape become.
• the base tape, together with the folding tapes attached to it is divided into individual sections forming the eyelet tapes by cuts running transversely to its longitudinal direction.
• the individual eyelet tapes are separated from the endless base tape in the thermal welding process, for example as an ultrasonic welding process, so that the cut edges of the base tape and the folding tapes are connected to one another at the same time.
• this type of separation of the eyelet tapes from the endless base tape or the likewise endless folding tapes is simple in terms of production technology and is accordingly inexpensive, this creates a firm and also very sharply defined connecting edge. Because the baseband and the folding ribbons are separated from one another by the cuts directed transversely to their long sides, these connecting edges form the longitudinal edges of the eyelet ribbons.
• the situation is similar in the case of the hook tapes, for the manufacture of which an also endless base tape is usually used.
• This is first formed into a type of tube by folding in its two long sides, the folded regions of which overlap slightly and are essentially of the same width.
• the hooks to be arranged in the overlap area are fastened to the base tape by means of a seam which also runs essentially parallel to the long sides of the base tape, all layers of the base tape lying one above the other being connected to one another at the same time.
• the base band with the hooks attached to it is divided into individual sections forming the hook bands by cuts running transversely to its longitudinal direction.
• the base tape is folded essentially in the center around a fold edge which is essentially parallel to its longitudinal direction, the area of the hook-bearing area resting on the hook-free area.
• the cutting edges of the areas of the base tape lying one above the other are connected by the cutting process. Since the cut edges here also run transversely to the long sides of the base tape, these connecting edges also form the front edges of the hook tapes produced in this way. So they solve too The edges of the hook straps in the case of underwear to be worn directly on the skin have an uncomfortable feeling that can lead to skin irritation.
• the invention is based on the object of providing a connecting element for the carrier tapes of underwear, for example of bras, which can be produced using a thermal welding process, but whose hook or loop tapes nevertheless do not have any sharply defined connecting edges.
• this task for the hook tape is achieved in that the separating weld seams are arranged within the hook tape between the hook-free area and the hook-carrying area.
• Such an arrangement of the separating weld seams can be easily achieved if the separating weld seams are formed with the hook-free region resting on the hook-carrying region and these are brought between the two regions by turning / falling the hook band. In this way, the separating weld seams are brought into the interior of the hook tape, so that those edge zones that can come into contact with the skin are formed by the unwelded material of the hook tape.
• An endless production of the hook tapes can be achieved using an endless, provided with hook base tape if the base tape is folded in the area of its free end around a fold line running essentially parallel to its longitudinal axis in such a way that its hook-free one before the separation of a section Area rests on the hook and then the section is separated by the weld seams.
• the areas lying one above the other are connected to one another along their cut edges, so that the hook band thus formed can then be turned / plunged in such a way that the separating weld seams within the hook band reach between the two areas. It is advantageous if the fold line runs within the hook-free area at a lateral distance from the fastening seam.
• this task for the eyelet tape is achieved in that the eyelet tape has a cover tape arranged at its eyelet-free area, which is connected to it by means of the separating weld seams, the isolating weld seams within the eyelet-free area of the eyelet tape between this and the Masking tape are arranged.
• Such an arrangement can be achieved if the separating weld seams are formed with the cover band resting on the eyelet-bearing area and the separating weld seams are brought between its eyelet-free area and the cover band by turning / falling the eyelet band.
• the cover band consists of an elastic material, preferably of an elastic fabric.
• An endless production of the eyelet tapes using an eyelet-provided base tape, from which corresponding sections are separated by welding, can be achieved if a cover tape is placed on the eyelet-bearing area before the section is separated in the area of the free end of the base tape and then the section of both the base tape and the cover tape are separated by the separating weld seams, the base tape and the cover band are connected to one another along their cut edges and then the eyelet band thus formed is turned / plunged in such a way that the separating weld seams pass between the eyelet-free area of the eyelet band and the cover band.
• the separating weld seams are brought into the interior of the eyelet tape, so that those edge zones that can come into contact with the skin are formed by the non-welded masking tape on the outside.
• the object according to the invention for the hook tape is also achieved in that the hook tape has a cover tape arranged on its hook-free area, which is connected to it by means of the separating weld seams, the separating weld seams within the hook-free area of the hook tape between this and the Masking tape are arranged.
• Such an arrangement can be achieved if the separating weld seams are formed with the cover tape resting on the hook-carrying area and the separating weld seams are brought between the hook-free area and the cover tape by turning / falling the hook tape.
• the cover band consists of an elastic material, preferably of an elastic fabric.
• An endless production of the hook tapes using a hooked base tape, from which corresponding sections are separated by welding, can be achieved if a cover tape is placed on the hook-carrying area of the hook-carrying area before a section is cut off and then the section of both the base tape and the cover tape are separated by the separating weld seams, the base tape and the cover tape being connected to one another along their cut edges, and then the hook tape thus formed is turned / turned over in such a way that the separating weld seams between the hook-free area of the hook tape and the masking tape.

• the front end of the base tape 1 is folded along a predetermined length about a fold line, preferably formed by the fastening seam 4, that the hook-free area 8 rests on the hook-carrying area 7.
• the hooks 3 are therefore covered by the hook-free area 8 in the area of this fold.
• sections of a predetermined length are successively separated from the base tape 1 by means of a thermal welding process, for example by means of ultrasound.
• the length of these sections determines the height or width of the hook band 2, based on the position of use of the hook band 2 to be produced, for example in the case of bras.
• the separating welding tool used for this purpose is designed such that during the separating process it forms a separating weld seam 10 both on a first section and on a second section following this.

• the hooks 3 are still covered by the hook-free area 8 (FIGS. 3 and 5).
• the section is dropped in such a way that on the one hand the hooks 3 are released from the hook-free area 8 and on the other hand the connecting edges 12 (separating weld seams 10) get into the interior of the finished hook strap 2, so that the two - in the position of use of the hook strap 2 coming into contact with the skin - boundary edges 13, 14 of the hook band 2 are formed from the material of the base band 1 (FIG. 4).
