Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a connector and to a method of manufacturing the connector. More particularly, although not exclusively, the invention relates to connectors and to a method of manufacturing connectors having fasteners such as hooks and eyes mounted in an array on clothing or textile items.
  • Hook and eye tapes are commonly used in undergarments and brassieres to provide a flexible but firm coupling.
  • an array of hooks is sewn onto a first tape aligned in rows and columns.
  • a complementary array of eyes is sewn into a second tape and by engaging different hooks and eyes a degree of lengthwise adjustment is obtained.
  • Both the hooks and eyes are typically formed of a stiff metal wire with anchors in a form such as a ring at opposing ends of the wire.
  • a planar side of the hooks and eyes lies against the tape and individual hooks and eyes are sewn to the tape over or adjacent the anchors.
  • the tape may be folded to cover the anchors to prevent snagging and unwanted contact between the anchors and the undergarment wearer's skin.
  • the embedment disadvantageously thickens the tape and gives a rough finishing.
  • soft textile cover strips are sewn over the anchors between longitudinally spaced rows of hooks and eyes. Formation and securing of the cover strips requires additional cutting and sewing steps. The additional steps increase the complexity and cost for manufacturing the fastener.
  • cover strips commonly made of nylon tricot, are folded when sewn to the tape in order to hide the rough cutting edges of the cover strips and to mask the anchors properly.
  • the individual layers of cover strips are in overlapping relationship to each other. This increases the overall thickness which aside from detracting from the overall aesthetics of the garment, oftentimes, the outline of the fastener is visible through outer tight fitting garments and provides discomfort to the wearer.
  • US 6 820 312 B1 discloses a method of manufacturing a connector having hooks for a hook-and-eye connector comprising the steps of fastening a plurality of hooks in an array on a first sheet portion; folding over a second sheet portion to cover the first sheet portion; joining the first and second sheet portions along two opposing edges; and inverting the first and second sheet portions such that each fastener protrudes outwardly.
  • a method of manufacturing a connector having fasteners, such as hooks or eyes for a hook-and-eye connector comprising the steps: fastening a plurality of the fasteners in an array on a face of a backing sheet; forming an aperture in a first sheet portion for receiving each fastener, each aperture extending between opposing first and second surfaces of the first sheet portion; inserting each fastener into a respective aperture such that the face of the backing sheet is directed inwardly to lie against the first surface; abutting a second sheet portion with the second surface and joining the first and second sheet portions such that they are joined along at least two opposing edges common to both the first and second sheet portions; fixing the backing sheet to the first or second sheet portion; inverting the first and second sheet portions such that the face of the backing sheet is directed outwardly, each fastener protrudes outwardly from each aperture and the backing sheet lies between the first and second sheet portions.
  • the first and second sheet portions are parts of one sheet joined by a fold elongated transverse to the opposing edges to form a pocket.
  • each fastener has an outer end inserted through the aperture and an inner end fixed to the backing sheet, and during insertion, the backing sheet is folded away from the outer end such that the outer end projects from the backing sheet before being inserted into the aperture.
  • one or more of the at least two opposing edges are joined by thermal bonding or ultrasonic welding.
  • the apertures are formed in the first sheet portion by a cutter that vibrates ultrasonically.
  • the first and second sheet portions are made from fabric.
  • the first and the second surfaces are thermally bonded.
  • the first sheet portion is made from Elastomeric polyurethane.
  • the plurality of the fasteners is sewn on the face of a continuous strip of backing sheet.
  • the continuous strip of backing sheet having fasteners is segmented at intervals by a cutter ultrasonically vibrated to form individual backing sheet.
  • the connector is a hook.
  • the connector is an eye.
  • a connector for a clothing or textile item comprising: a backing sheet; a plurality of hook or eye fasteners fixed in a first array to the backing sheet; first and second sheet portions joined along at least two opposing edges common to both the first and second sheet portions, the first sheet portion includes a second array of apertures, at least one of the first and second sheet portions is fixed to the backing sheet, the backing sheet lies between the first and second sheet portions and each fastener projects from a respective one of the apertures.
  • FIG. 1 depicts the steps in manufacturing a connector 1 having fasteners such as hooks 2 and eyes 3 arranged in an array. Although a method of manufacturing a connector 1 having fasteners such as hooks 2 and eyes 3 is illustrated it should be appreciated that this invention extends to other types of two component male or female fasteners.

  • the eyes 3 are uniformly spaced and are aligned in the same orientation.
  • a first and second layer 44, 45 is thermally bonded to form a one layered tape 9.

  • the folded tape 10 is cut transversely at intervals to form individual cover sheet 11.
  • the cover sheet 11 comprises a first sheet portion 12 and a second sheet portion 13.
