Description

Reißverschluss, Verfahren zu dessen Herstellung und Verwendung desselben Zipper, process for its manufacture and use
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Reißverschluss, wie er als Verschlussvorrichtung für vielfache Anwendungen bekannt ist.The invention relates to a zipper, as it is known as a closure device for multiple applications.
Derartige Reißverschlüsse umfassen an zwei Bändern befestigte Schließketten (Zähne, Spiralen, Wellen etc.), die durch einen Schieber beim Schließen wechselseitig ineinander und beim Öffnen auseinander gehakt werden.Such zippers comprise closing chains fastened to two bands (teeth, spirals, waves, etc.), which are mutually hooked together by a slider when closing and are hooked apart when opened.
Ausgehend von einem derartigen, konventionellen Reißverschluss liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Reißverschluss zu schaffen, dessen Einsatzmöglichkeiten verbessert sind.Based on such a conventional zipper, the invention has for its object to provide a zipper, the application possibilities are improved.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch den in Anspruch 1 wiedergegebenen Reißverschluss gelöst.This object is achieved by the zipper shown in claim 1.
Der Reißverschluss umfasst erfindungsgemäß ein mittleres Band, an dessen beiden Längsrändern Schließketten vorgesehen sind. Er ist somit geeignet, zwei parallel verlaufende Öffnungen voneinander unabhängig zu schließen bzw. zwei Teile mit dem Teil, an dem das mittlere Band angebracht ist, wahlweise zu befestigen. Er weist dementsprechend zwei äußere Bänder auf, die jeweils an ihrem einen Längsrand des mittleren Bandes zugewandten Längsrand eine entsprechende Schließkette aufweisen. Zum Schließen bzw. Öffnen der beiden so gebildeten Teilreißverschlüsse sind zwei Schieber vorgesehen, von denen der eine den einen Teilreißverschluss und der andere den anderen Teilreißverschluss betätigt. Die Schieber und die die beiden Teilreißverschlüsse bildenden Schließketten sind derart angeordnet, dass die Teilreißverschlüsse gegensinnig öffnend oder schließend wirken. Aufgrund dieser Maßnahme wird der Einsatzbereich des Reißverschlusses besonders erhöht, da er so bei- spielsweise geeignet ist, einen Gegenstand wahlweise von einer Ober- oder einer Unterseite eines das mittlere Band umfassenden Trägers anzubringen.According to the invention, the zipper comprises a middle band, on the two longitudinal edges of which closing chains are provided. It is thus suitable to close two parallel openings independently of each other or to selectively attach two parts to the part to which the middle band is attached. Accordingly, it has two outer bands, each of which has a corresponding closing chain at its longitudinal edge facing a longitudinal edge of the middle band. To close or open the two partial zips thus formed two slides are provided, of which the one actuates a partial zipper and the other the other partial zipper. The sliders and the closing chains forming the two partial zips are arranged such that the partial zippers act in the opposite direction to open or close. As a result of this measure, the area of use of the zipper is particularly increased, since it thus contributes to For example, it is suitable to attach an object optionally from an upper or a lower side of a carrier comprising the middle band.
Bei einer ersten bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht das mittlere Band aus einem einstückigen Textilband, an dessen beiden Längsrändern dann die gegensinnig angeordneten Schließketten befestigt sind.In a first preferred embodiment, the middle band consists of a one-piece textile band, at the two longitudinal edges then the oppositely arranged locking chains are attached.
Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform besteht das mittlere Band hingegen aus zwei aneinander befestigten Teilbändern, von denen jedes Teilband an einem Längsrand eine Schließkette umfasst. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel sind mit anderen Worten zwei Teilbänder eines konventionellen Reißverschlusses gegensinnig aneinander befestigt.In a further embodiment, however, the middle band consists of two subbands fastened to each other, each of which subbands comprises a closing chain at a longitudinal edge. In this embodiment, in other words, two sub-bands of a conventional zipper are attached to each other in opposite directions.
Der Befestigung kann insbesondere dann, wenn es sich um Bänder aus texti- lern Werkstoff handelt, eine Nähnaht dienen.The attachment may be used, in particular, in the case of strips of textile material, a sewing seam.
Die Erfindung betrifft auch ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines vorbeschriebenen, erfindungsgemäßen Reißverschlusses, bei dem das mittlere Band durch Vernähen zweier Teilbänder mit jeweils einer Schließkette an einem Längsrand vor der Anbringung des Reißverschlusses hergestellt wird. Bei dieser Variante des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird der Reißverschluss durch miteinander Vernähen zweier Teilbänder zweier herkömmlicher Reißverschlüsse hergestellt, wobei die beiden Teilbänder gegensinnig ausgerichtet sind.The invention also relates to a method for producing a previously described zipper according to the invention, in which the middle band is produced by sewing two partial bands, each with a closing chain, at a longitudinal edge prior to the attachment of the zipper. In this variant of the method according to the invention, the zipper is produced by stitching together two partial bands of two conventional zippers, wherein the two partial bands are oriented in opposite directions.
Bei einer weiteren Variante des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird das mittlere Band durch Bestückung seiner beiden Längsränder mit gegensinnig ausgerichteten Schließketten hergestellt, so dass eine Naht im Bereich des mittleren Bandes nicht entsteht.In a further variant of the method according to the invention, the middle band is produced by equipping its two longitudinal edges with counter-aligned closing chains so that a seam does not arise in the region of the middle band.
Die Erfindung betrifft auch die Verwendung eines vorbeschriebenen Reißverschlusses, dessen mittleres Band an einer Umhüllung eines Gegenstandes, wie beispielsweise einem Polsterartikel, einem Matratzenkern etc. angebracht ist, um wahlweise einen Überzug an der Oberseite oder an der Unterseite der Mat- ratze anzubringen oder gleichzeitig einen Überzug an der Oberseite und einen weiteren an der Unterseite dieser Matratze zu befestigen.The invention also relates to the use of a zipper as described above, the middle band of which is attached to an envelope of an article, such as a cushioning article, a mattress core, etc., for optionally coating on top or bottom of the mattress. attach or at the same time to attach a cover at the top and another at the bottom of this mattress.
