Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a waterproof zipper having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Zippers also sealing with slide are known. They are threaded to close or are sewn on one or both sides, the slider is constantly connected to the zipper halves. To close, the slider must be pulled along the two zipper halves, with two outer flanks, the teeth of the zipper engaged with each other. To open the slider must be guided along the zipper and separates with its central, wedge-shaped heart teeth.
  • molded sealing elements has been tried many times to produce waterproof zippers.
  • a waterproof zipper consisting of two zipper halves, which are encapsulated with a thermoplastic elastomer, which rests in each case as a profile-like coating on the abutting edges of the zipper tapes, the profile-like coatings sealingly abut each other with the zipper closed.
  • the zipper has a port for the slider, which is formed as a circumferential bead around a heart area.
  • the harbor is provided with seals and has a transition to the coating profile of the zipper, which is designed with an oversize, so that the flanks of the zipper exert a greater lateral pressure to seal the port.
  • the EP-A-0 900 532 and the US-A-2,910,754 show zippers in which the teeth are present as a pair of engagement elements, which are respectively arranged below and above the zipper belts and which are interconnected by holes in the bands. Between the engagement elements extend along the zipper tapes sealing lips or sealing elements.
  • a zipper is proposed in which the gasket is achieved by starting against a Y-shaped sealing element and corresponding clamps which are heavy and unsafe to close and open.
  • a waterproof zipper is described, which has elements on a housing of a zipper slider, between which a sealing element is clamped in the closed state. This requires a large bias, or is very power consuming when closing and opening and therefore it often comes to incorrect positions of the slide when closing and associated leaks.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a sealing zipper, in particular by a particularly simple means a watertight closure is ensured.
  • a waterproof zipper wherein the zipper consists of mutually engageable, arranged on zipper bands rows of teeth, wherein the teeth consist of pairs of engagement elements and respectively above and below the plane of the zipper tapes an engagement member is arranged for entanglement with a corresponding engagement member of the opposite row of teeth, wherein extending between the pairs of engagement elements along the leading edge of the zipper tapes in the plane lying sealing lips, wherein with the zipper closed, the sealing lips of both rows of teeth sealingly abut each other, wherein a zipper slider is present which is displaceable along the row of teeth between an open position stop and a port in the closed position of the zipper, the slider having a heart for opening the row of teeth, edges for closing the rows of teeth, and a lower and upper plate between which the Rows of teeth are guided, wherein the heart connects both plates together and the flanks are arranged on the upper and / or lower plate and wherein the port with sealing means for the slider provided is characterized in that the harbor consists at least partially of elong
  • the sealing lips form with the seals in the heart area of the port sealing planes for the heart of the slider.
  • the seals are flush in the sealing plane with the sealing lips or have a protrusion of up to 0.5 mm on this.
  • the legs of the port each directly connect to the last tooth of the associated zipper tape, wherein one leg is extended according to the distance of the teeth relative to the other leg.
  • the longer leg has an essentially positive recess for the opposing teeth.
  • the seals on their upper sides around the heart area of the port circumferential raised sealing lips for engagement with the plates.
  • the plates of the slide in the closing direction have flaring run-on slopes and the seals or their sealing lips are thickened according to these chamfers at their end.
  • the zipper tapes are connected in the harbor area at least at its end with a welded-on tissue or a welded-on film, wherein at least a part of the connecting region of the horseshoe-shaped seals is welded onto this fabric or or this film.
  • the filaments of the fabric are air impermeable or airtight coated and the fabric should contain at least a proportion of monofilaments.
  • At least a few teeth of the zipper tapes run into the heart area of the harbor, preferably being reduced in volume with respect to the remaining teeth, the decrease in volume being increasingly towards the end of the harbor.
  • the sealing lips are formed on the zipper tapes or form the front edge thereof.
  • the engagement elements of a respective toothed tooth are connected to one another by the associated zipper tape, wherein the zipper tapes have holes for this purpose.
  • the teeth are plastic injection molded parts and the zipper tapes are fabric strips coated with a plastic material.
  • Fig. 1 shows a zipper from two zipper tapes 1, 1 ', which are provided with rows of teeth 2, 2', which engage with each other.
  • the teeth have here inen rectangular footboard, to which the actual engagement part, consisting of a round-sided indentation and a round head connects.
  • the zipper has a slider 3 which is sealingly enclosed in a port 4 in the closed position shown here. At the end of the zipper opposite the port 4 there is an end stop 5 against which the slider 3 rests when the zipper is fully open.
  • the zipper tapes are made of or are coated with a weldable material. Behind the port 4 and partly below and behind the end stop 5 are strips of a weldable fabric or foil. End stop 5 and port 4 are on the zipper tapes 1, 1 ', Bzw. Strip 6, 6 'molded.
  • Fig. 2 shows a first embodiment of the invention in which low-volume teething 15 enter the port 14, which is injection-molded as a horseshoe-shaped seal at the top and bottom of the zipper tapes 1, 1 'and enclosing a heart area 17. Since the port 4 widens from the zipper, it can be seen that the reduced-diameter teeth lie with their outer ends 16 outside the row of teeth 2 and thus provide pressure points for the flanks 9 of the slider. In this way, a lateral, sealing pressure is applied to the beginning of the port. On the port is further an increased sealing lip 13 is provided which sealingly abuts the respective (upper or lower) plate of the slider.
  • the top of the zipper with the port is shown, however, the bottom is identical.
  • the teeth consist of paired engagement elements 25, 25 '( Fig. 6 ), which are respectively arranged above and below the zipper tape 1.
  • the engagement elements 25, 25 ' are one-piece plastic injection-molded parts with a connecting web 26 (FIG. Fig. 6 ) passing through holes 12 ( Fig. 2 ) of the zipper tape is guided.
  • the leading edge of the zipper tapes is dimensioned and constructed to form a sealing lip 27 ( Fig. 6 ), which, when the zipper is closed, bears under tension on the sealing lip of the other zipper tape.
  • Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of a slider 3, consisting of an upper plate 8 and a lower plate 7, which are connected by the slider heart 10, which serves to open the zipper.
  • the slider heart 10 has a sealing bead 11 for sealing engagement in the harbor.
  • the flanks 9, which serve to close the zipper, are arranged at the bottom on the outer sides of the upper plate 8.
  • Fig. 4 shows another embodiment of a slider, which is specially designed for teeth with paired engagement elements and therefore both on the lower plate 7, as well as on the upper plate 8 upwardly, or bottomed flanks 9 ', 9 has.
  • the heart 10 is executed here without sealing bead.
  • the slide on the upper and the lower plate 8, 7 each have a run-on slope a for easier closing, the port is then designed according to the run-up slope thickened.
  • Fig. 5 Finally shows a second embodiment, in which no teeth in the harbor area run in.
  • the port 24 is here also horseshoe-shaped executed by two below and on top of the (here open) zipper tapes 1, 1 'molded seals.
  • the sealing lips which extend along the row of teeth 2, 2 'and are formed by the front edges of the zipper bands or molded onto these, (see Fig. 6 ) are extended into the heart area of the port 4, whereby the two molded seals are molded from above and below on these extensions.
  • the legs 20, 21 of the horseshoe-shaped seals can be flush with the extended sealing lips, or, as shown here, have a protrusion over this of 0 - 0.5 mm.
  • the legs 20, 21 directly adjoin the respective last teeth 2 ", 2"'of the associated zipper tape.
  • the longer leg 20 has a recess 23 for the front end of the opposing tooth 2 ", so that it can be received in a form-fitting manner during closing.
  • the zipper tapes At the outer end of the zipper, ie behind the port 24 and partially below it is on the zipper tapes from below and above each applied a strip 6 of a waterproof fabric or a film.
  • the seals are molded with their rear end on these strips 6 and the extensions of the sealing lips may be performed, for example, up to the beginning of the strip 6.
  • the seals have on their surfaces elevated circumferential sealing lips 19 for the plates of the slider. These sealing lips 19 run along the edge of the heart region 17 of the port.
