Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing an electrically conductive zip fastener, in accordance with the introduction to the main claim.
  • the invention also relates to a zip fastener produced by the method.
  • Articles made from electrically conductive fabric comprising at least a part formed in two portions which must be closed one against the other in such a manner as to enable the electrical conductivity of the entire structure of such articles to be maintained.
  • An example of these latter is a curtain made of an electrically conductive fabric, said curtain being used to cover electronic equipment which for its correct operation requires screening against external magnetic fields.
  • the electrically conductive fabric enables said screening to be effectively achieved.
  • the curtain comprises an openable part presenting the two aforesaid portions which, under certain conditions of use, have to be drawn together and closed one against the other.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a zip fastener enabling electrical connection continuity to be maintained between two separable portions of an article with which two edges of said zip fastener are rigid.
  • a particular object of the invention is to provide a method of the stated type which is simple to implement and enables a zip fastener to be obtained having optimal low voltage electrical conductivity characteristics.
  • Another object is to provide a zip fastener obtained by the aforesaid method, from which an article can be obtained provided with regions of particular aesthetic merit achieved by passing current through them.
  • the zip fastener is indicated overall by 1 and comprises a first toothed element 2 to be coupled to a second toothed element 3.
  • Each toothed element presents a plurality of teeth 4 cooperating with a movable member or slider 5 which, in known manner, causes them to mutually engage (by tightening the two elements against each other to close the zip fastener 1) or disengages them (to open the zip fastener).
  • the tapes 10 of said elements are connected together at a free end thereof, in accordance with known teachings.
  • Each of said toothed elements 2, 3 is associated with a tape 10, along an edge 11 thereof the relative toothed element 2, 3 is present.
  • each tape 10 formed of textile material, there is inserted at least one electrically conductive thread connected to the teeth 4 of the elements 2 and 3.
  • This thread or yarn can be a silver coated thread, a polyester thread surface-clad with carbon, a silver coated polyamide thread or a polyester thread covering a fine metal wire.
  • each tape is obtained by weaving it using said electrically conductive yarn or thread, then joining the corresponding toothed element 2, 3 to said tape 10 in known manner, with said toothed element being brought into contact with the electrically conductive thread.
  • Each tape 10 provided with the corresponding toothed element 2, 3 is placed in an electroplating bath to coat the teeth 4 of each element 2, 3 with metal. This process is carried out by a continuous treatment procedure on each tape before closing the zip fastener 1, but can also be carried out by immersing at least partly closed zip fasteners into the electroplating bath.
  • the metal deposited on the teeth 4 is preferably nickel or its alloys. Part of this metal will also evidently deposit on the fabric of the tape, this increasing the conductivity of the zip fastener 1.
  • the electrically conductive zip fastener On termination of the electrochemical deposition bath procedure, after a necessary period for drying, the electrically conductive zip fastener is ready for use.
  • zip fastener obtained in this manner, products can be produced in which two electrically conductive elements can be effectively and continuously connected together along their contacting edges, without this resulting in a decrease in the electrically conductive performance of each portion.
  • the use of a zip fastener produced according to the invention enables adequate electrical conductivity characteristics to be maintained throughout the curtain by a continuous electrical connection between two adjacent sides of the openable portions of the curtain.
  • the zip fastener obtained in accordance with the invention is electrically conductive, it can be connected to a suitable low voltage source of electricity able to supply the zip fastener with electrical energy.
  • the zip fastener can be coated with a product or material which increases its luminosity if powered electrically or if subjected to a potential difference.
