Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a slide fastener having a pair of opposed tapes, each including a strip made of a flexible material folded on itself around an elongate core member, in particular a flexible cord, so as to form a teeth-carrying edge onto which a respective row of coupling teeth is fastened.
  • the invention also relates to a method for the manufacture of such a slide fastener.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an improved slide fastener and a method for the manufacture thereof, which allows to overcome the above-outlined inconveniences of the prior art.
  • the stringer tapes of a slide fastener manufactured in accordance with the present invention exhibit a superior strength and an optimal dimensional stability, allowing to reliably maintain the correct relative positions of the coupling teeth affixed thereto.
  • Each stringer tape 2 includes a strip 6 ( figure 2 ) made of a flexible material, such as a woven or non-woven or knitted material.
  • the strips 2 can be in particular made of natural or artificial skin or leather, having a thickness comprised between 0.20 and 0.35 mm, preferably between 0.25 and 0.30 mm.
  • the reinforcing strip 7 is conveniently made of a plastic material (preferably nylon) or metal or woven or non-woven or knitted film or tape, having a thickness of preferably between 0.05 and 0.15 mm, and very preferably of 0.10 mm, and is applied to the strip 6 by means of an adhesive, such as a glue or mastic.
  • a layer of adhesive preferably the same interposed between said strips, is applied onto the reinforcing strip 7.
  • the thus obtained composite strip is folded on itself, around an elongate core member 8, such as a flexible cord, and is pressed for a predetermined period of time, for instance by passing through a rolling guide.
  • a strip 7 of reinforcing material is folded and sticked by an adhesive on itself around the core member 8, and thereafter a strip 6 of a flexible material, such as a natural or artificial skin or leather, is wrapped around and sticked by an adhesive to the thus obtained semifinished product.
  • a thus manufactured stringer tape 2 has a cross-sectional shape such as that shown in figure 3 .
  • the core member 8 and the fold of the stringer tape 2 form a teeth-carrying bead or edge, onto which a respective row of fastener elements or coupling teeth 3 can be reliably affixed.
  • a hole 9 can be stamped or punched in the corresponding tape 2, and the tooth 3 has an anchoring portion 3a extending through said hole 9.
  • the teeth 3 can be formed for instance by injection moulding a plastic material, or crimping metal elements.
  • the composite strips 6, 7 described above can be obtained by cutting into strips a composite sheet obtained by applying a relatively large sheet of reinforcing material to a corresponding sheet of flexible material, with an interposed adhesive.
  • the said composite strips can be obtained by applying a previously cut strip 7 of reinforcing material to a previously cut strip 6 of flexible material, with an interposed adhesive.
  • the stringer tapes of a slide fastener manufactured in accordance with the present invention exhibit a superior strength and an improved dimensional stability, even though the material forming the strips 6 is inherently weak.
