Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bottom end stop for a slide fastener including a pair of left and right stringer tapes with a gap defined therebetween and provided on their respective inner edges with respective longitudinal rows of coupling elements, as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a bottom end stop of this kind is disclosed in JP - 49 105307 U .
  • a similar bottom end stop is disclosed in DE 71 37 952 U .
  • One object of the present invention is to provide an improved bottom end stop for a slide fastener.
  • the tapes 2 are provided with respective longitudinal reinforcing cords 4.
  • the inner edges of the tapes 2 are in a per se known manner provided with respective longitudinal rows of coupling elements 5, such as metal teeth or injection-moulded teeth.
  • a bottom end stop according to the present invention is fastened to the stringer tapes 2 of the zipper, adjacent the bottom end of said rows of coupling elements 5.
  • the bottom end stop 10 comprises two originally separate and distinct members, i.e. a rivet member 11 and a corresponding backplate 12 (see in particular Figure 8 ).
  • the rivet member 11 comprises a plate portion 11a, having a longitudinally elongated, substantially rectangular shape.
  • the plate portion 11a is provided on its inner surface with two integral protruding pins 11b. These pins 11b are arranged at a predetermined interval longitudinally of the plate portion 11a.
  • the back plate 12 has an elongated, substantially rectangular shape, as the plate portion 11a of the rivet member 11.
  • the back plate 12 has two through apertures 12a formed perpendicularly therethrough, and these through apertures 12a are arranged at a predetermined interval longitudinally of the back plate 12.
  • the pins 11b of the rivet member 11 is inserted through the corresponding apertures 12a of the backplate 12 and engaged therewith so that the pins may not be pulled off the backplate 12. (See in particular Figures 3 and 8 ).
  • the pins 11b have a substantially cylindrical proximal shank, ending with a substantially conical distal tip portion.
  • each pin 11b of the rivet member 11 projecting beyond the backplate 12 After passing through the through aperture 12a of backplate 12, the parts of the pins 11b of the rivet member 11 projecting beyond the backplate 12 are pressed against the backplate 12 for instance by beating and are thus plastically deformed.
  • the pins 11b might be heat-deformable, so that the pins 11b have been deformed in such a manner that they will not be restored into the original shape permanently. With such deformation, the distal end of each pin 11b is enlarged radially thereof to provide a bulged outline or shape which is greater than the corresponding through aperture 12a, so that pins 11b are prevented from coming off the through apertures 12a.
  • the plate portion 11a of the rivet member 11 has, in its face intended to be applied to the stringer tapes 2, a pair of longitudinal grooves 11c.
  • the pair of grooves 11c are disposed on the right and left opposed sides of the plate portion 11a with the two pins 11b interposed therebetween in such a way that the grooves 11c extend longitudinally in parallel with the plate portion 11a.
  • the grooves 11c are adapted to receive and firmly grip the reinforcement cords 4 of the stringer tapes.
  • the plate portion 1 la of the rivet member 11 is also provided on its four corners with rows of sawteeth 13, which extend along the longitudinal grooves 11c longitudinally of the plate portion 11a. (See Figure 8 .) These rows of sawteeth 13 are adapted for gripping the corresponding stringer tapes 2. However, it is not necessarily needed to provide sawteeth rows.
  • the grooves 11c each have a plurality of protruding ridges 11d extending transversely of the plate portion 11 a in such a way to cross the rectangular groove 11c. Said plurality of protruding ridges 11d are provided at predetermined intervals longitudinally of the plate portion 11a. These protruding ridges 11d are adapted to bite the reinforcing cords 4 of the corresponding stringer tapes 2.
  • the rivet member 11 and the backplate 12 of the bottom stop 10 are fastened to stringer tapes 2 in such a way that the pins 11b of the rivet member 11 do not extend through the tapes 2. Instead, said pins extend through the gap 3 defined between the inner edges of the stringer tapes 2. Namely, the pins 11b extend perpendicularly of the stringer tapes 2 and are inserted through the gap 3.
  • the stringer tapes 2, and particularly the reinforcing cords 4 thereof, are firmly clasped between the plate portion 11a of the rivet member 11 and the associated backplate 12.
  • the stringer tapes 2 at their bottom ends are provided with (at least one) respective through aperture (not visible in said Figures) and the rivet member 11 has its pins 11b engaged through these apertures of the tapes 2, as well as through the corresponding apertures 12a of the backplate 12, in such a way that the bottom stop 10 as a whole transversely crosslinks the tapes.
  • the outer surface of the rivet member 11 and/or that of the backplate 12 may be used to apply thereto a trade name or a trade mark or the like.
  • the general shape of the member 11 and/or the backplate 12 may be varied in order to best accommodate a customer's desires for a particular logo.
  • the rivet member 11 is provided with grooves, sawteeth and protruding ridges at the same time, in general the rivet member might be provided with or without sawteeth. Furthermore, the sawteeth, if at all present, might extend in any direction parallel to the plate portion of the rivet member.
