Definitions

  • This invention relates to a slider for a slide fastener, and particularly to a slider for a slide fastener wherein a pull tab can be pivotally and rotatably moved on the upper wing of its slider body and the pull tab can be replaced at ease, and which is provided with a simple mechanism to prevent or decrease rattling noises caused by the pull tab striking on the slider body when one jogs in a sport wear bearing the slider.
  • sliders of the pull-tab-rotatable type wherein the pull tab can be pivotally and rotatably moved on an upper wing of a slider body.
  • One example is shown in EP 0423570 (also published as Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-46168 ) and also reproduced in Figure 18 of the drawings appended hereto for convenience sake.
  • the slider body 100 of this slider has a mounting hole 108 formed vertically through the diamond or guidepost 106.
  • the mounting hole 108 terminates at its lower end in a flared recess (not shown) formed in the lower wing 104 of the slider body 100 and terminates at its upper end in a stepped countersink 110, which includes a large-diametered upper bore 110a and a small-diametered lower bore 110b.
  • the large-diametered upper bore 110a is adapted to receive part of a circular disk 116 and the small-diametered lower bore 110b is adapted to receive part of a retaining member 120.
  • the circular disk 116 has a through hole 117 formed centrally therethrough.
  • the retaining member 120 has an enlarged head 122, a circular body 124 and a cylindrical leg 126 stacked concentrically one beneath another so as to extend downwardly in a stepped manner.
  • a pull tab 130 has a proximal end bifurcated to provide a pair of attachment lugs 132, which has respective pintles 134 formed in alignment with each other.
  • the pintles 134 of the pull tab 130 are pivotally attached to the diametrically opposite recesses 118 formed on the opposed sides of the circular disk 116. Then, the circular disk 116 is rotatably mounted on the slider body 100 in the large-diametered upper bore 110a.
  • the cylindrical leg 126 of the retaining member 120 is inserted through the mounting hole 108 and is clinched to the slider body 100 by flattening the end of the cylindrical leg 126 in the flared recess, so that the retaining member 120 clamp the slider body 100 between its circular body 124 and its flattened end of the leg 126 with the circular disk 116 interposed between the slider body 100 and the enlarged head 122 of the retaining member 120. Consequently, the pull tab 130 can be moved pivotally and rotatably relative to the slider body 100.
  • the slider shown in Figure 18 is of the type that the pull tab 130 is movable both pivotally and rotatably relative to the slider body 100, indeed.
  • the pull tab 130 is broken or the wearer desires to replace the pull tab for any other reasons, he or she cannot replace it.
  • the leg 126 of the retaining member 120 has its lower end clinched in the flared recess formed in the lower wing 104 of the slider body 100.
  • the slider as a whole must be replaced.
  • an upper end stop must be removed and then the slider must be pulled off the slide fastener chain. Thereafter, a new slider must be inserted in to the fastener chain and an upper end stop must be attached thereto. The replacing operation is thus tedious and time-consuming.
  • a pull tab can be both pivotally and rotatably moved on the slider body; when one do an exercise, such as jogging in a sport wear bearing the slide fastener, the more the pull tab of the slider jolts and strikes against the slider body, disadvantageously causing rattling noises.
  • rattling noises give much offence to the ear of the wearer.
  • the pull tab also strikes on the slider body, causing annoying rattling noises.
  • FIG. 19 One of the conventional methods is shown in United States Patent No. 5101538 and is conveniently reproduced in Figure 19 .
  • a cylindrical fixing section 202 is provided on one end of a rectangular coupling 201 which is pivotally mounted on a locking arm 204 of a slider body 206.
  • An annular resilient member 210 is molded to the cylindrical fixing section 202 through injecting molding, thus to provide a pull tab 200.
  • the free end 209 of the annular resilient member 210 is normally biased by the resiliency of the annular resilient member 210 itself against fastener elements 208 or fabric strips of the sport wear to which the slide fastener is attached. This prevents the pull tab 200 from jolting and causing rattling noises.
  • a cover 300 made of metal or plastics is fit to a pull tab 302 of a slider 304 reciprocally mounted along the slide fastener 306.
  • the cover 300 has a locking member 308 in the form of a circular hole formed on the free end thereof.
  • the sport wear has a locking plate 310 mounted on the fabric piece of its front part.
  • the locking plate 310 has a locking projection 312 formed thereon.
  • the slider 206 of the slide fastener shown in Figure 19 is complex in construction and requires a special pull tab 200. Therefore, the manufacturing cost is very high. It is difficult to supply this slider 206 at a lower price.
  • the present invention has a its object to provide a slider for a slide fastener of the type that a pull tab is pivotably and rotatably connected to the slider body, which has a simple mechanism whereby only the pull tab can be replaced at great ease, even when the slider is used in the slide fastener attached to an article; if the pull tab is broken or the wearer wishes to replace the pull tab.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide double sliders for a slide fastener wherein a pair of sliders are reciprocally mounted on a single fastener chain and disposed reversely to each other, the pull tabs of the two sliders can be locked by a locking means reliably and easily.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide a slider for a slide fastener which has a pull tab pivotably and rotatably connected to the slider body and which has means for preventing or decreasing rattling noises caused by the pull tab striking against the slider body, thus accomplishing muffling effects simply and less costly.

  • the shock-absorbing member 50 is made of soft materials, such as polyurethane, silicon rubber, thermoplastic elastomer, and other soft plastics, which are softer than the materials of the slider body 2 and the pull tab 3, so that the shock absorbing member 50 functions to absorb the shock caused by collision of the pull tab 3 and the slider body 2, thus prevent rattling noises from getting caused.
  • a pair of recesses 52 of a certain area are formed one on each side of the grip portion 29 of the pull tab 3 at the region where the pull tab 3 is likely to contact the slider body 2.
  • a plurality of small through holes 53 are formed through the grip portion 29 of the pull tab 4 within the recesses 52.

  • shock-absorbing member 50 Since the shock-absorbing member 50 is embedded in the recesses 52 and will never get caught by extraneous things and the upper and lower parts of the shock-absorbing member 50 are joined through the small through holes 53; the shock-absorbing member 50 will never be dislodged from the pull tab 3. Therefore, the shock-absorbing member 50 endures a long use and enjoys excellent muffling effects.
  • the pull tab 4 has the shock-absorbing member 50 mounted in its region where the grip portion 29 of the pull tab 3 contacts the slider body 3 when the pull tab 3 rotates and pivots the slider body 2.

  • the shock-absorbing member 50 has a plurality of grooves 59 formed in the upper and lower sides thereof so as to extend laterally of the length of the pull tab 3. These grooves 59 are intended to facilitate gripping of the shock-absorbing member 50 and hence the grip portion 29 of the pull tab 3..
  • the shock-absorbing member 50 When the pull tab 3 rotates and pivots on the slider body 2, the fact that the shock-absorbing member 50 exists in the region where the pull tab 3 contacts the slider body 2 matters. Even if the pull tab 3 strikes heavily upon the slider body 2, the shock-absorbing member 50 advantageously prevents rattling noises from being caused or absorbs the rattling noises, thus achieving muffling effects.

Then, the shackle 35 of the padlock 34 is inserted through the through holes 28 of the pull tabs 3 and locked. Since the pull tabs 3 of the two sliders 1 are locked with the respective shock-absorbing members 50 interposed therebetween, the shock-absorbing members 50 of both pull tabs 3 prevent the pull tabs 3 from striking directly against each other and causing rattling noises, thus accomplishing muffling effects. In addition, the shock absorbing member 50 of each pull tab 3 prevents the respective pull tab 3 from directly striking against its respective slider body 2 and causing rattling noises, as well.
  • the shock-absorbing member 50 Even if the pull tab 3 contacts the slider body 2 during operation or by vibration of the slide fastener, the shock-absorbing member 50 always goes between the pull tab 3 and the slider body 2, thus absorbing or decreasing rattling noises, thus accomplishing muffling effects with a simple mechanism.
  • a slider according to the present invention is mounted on a slide fastener used for various kinds of articles such as clothing, bags, cases. Even when the slide fastener has been incorporated in such articles, a pull tab can be replaced at great ease.
