Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of bags provided with complementary closure profiles actuated by a slider.
  • It relates more specifically to a device and a method for the establishment of a slider provided with biasing pins.
  • Such a slider is made of molded plastic and has a generally known structure.
  • this slider has an inverted “U” -shaped section, and comprises a base 10 to which two lateral wings 11 and 12 are attached, called “sidewalls".
  • X-X ' the longitudinal axis of the slider, which corresponds to its direction of movement when it is installed on a bag with complementary profiles, has been designated.
  • the flanks extend parallel to this axis.
  • 110 and 111 are referenced the outer and inner faces of the sidewall 11, while the inner and outer faces of the sidewall 12 bear the references 120 and 121.
  • the opposite ends of the slider 1 are shaped arches 2 and 3 of greater thickness than the rest of his body.
  • this thickness could be identical over the entire range of the cursor.
  • the internal space of the slider contains means adapted to urge complementary closure profiles of a bag (marked respectively P 1 , P 2 and S at the figure 8A ), towards or away in the direction of movement of the cursor along these profiles.
  • internal space is meant the space delimited by the base 10 and the flanks 11 and 12.
  • these means comprise a longitudinal rib 13 which extends along the median plane X-X 'of the slider.
  • This rib 13 integral with the inner face of the base 10, separates the internal space into two corridors C 1 and C 2 .
  • the rib is extended downwards by an elongated central soleplate 14 which projects on either side of the rib 13 to form facets 140 and 141 for guiding a protuberance T 1 , T 2 , here in the shape of a point boom, located above an associated closure profile P 1 , P 2 (see figure 8A ).
  • Each facet is turned towards the base 10.
  • protuberance means any means associated with the corresponding section, which allows the cursor to cooperate with the bag.
  • the inner faces 111 and 121 of the flanks 11 and 12 each bear, facing the sole 14, a projection 114, respectively 124, which is also provided with a facet 115, 125 respectively for guiding a protrusion.
  • the corridors C 1 and C 2 are therefore delimited by the base 10, the rib 13 and its associated sole 14, the inner faces of the sidewalls 11 and 12 and their projections 114 and 124 associated.
  • the corridors C 1 and C 2 are in the form of converged-edge grooves.
  • corridors C 1 and C 2 extend only over part of the longitudinal extent of the cursor, in this case near each of its opposite ends.
  • corridors C 1 and C 2 are closer to one another at a longitudinal end, so as to allow the spacing or the approximation of the profiles P 1 , P 2 as desired close or open the S bag in question. This feature is clearly visible on the Figures 2A and 3A , as well as comparing Figures 4A and 7A .
  • Such a slider must be placed on a bag S whose two sails are provided with complementary closure profiles.
  • the technique generally used for this purpose consists generally in deforming the slider so as to temporarily move its flanks 11 and 12 away from each other, to bring it closer to the profiles to "belt” the latter, and then to bring the flanks in their initial position.
  • the bias at the opening of the flanks is made simultaneously with the push of the cursor to the profiles, which requires a perfect coordination of these operations.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a device and a method of placing the cursor which simplifies the installation.
  • a slider for the actuation of closure profiles in particular for a closure assembly equipping a bag, comprising a base, two sidewalls, means adapted to respectively urge said closure profiles, moving in or out according to the direction movement of the cursor along the profiles, to move the profiles between a position in closing engagement and a separate opening position, and the biasing lugs projecting on said sidewalls, in the vicinity of the end thereof opposed to said base, to open it temporarily and facilitate its engagement on said profiles when a bias is exerted on said lugs, characterized in that said means comprise means for receiving protrusions associated with said profiles.
  • a bag comprising a closure system with complementary profiles, provided with a slider actuating said profiles at the opening and closing according to one of the preceding characteristics.
  • closure assembly with complementary profiles, provided with a slider for actuating said profiles at the opening and closing, in accordance with one of the preceding characteristics.
  • the invention relates to a device for setting up such a slider, to a bag with complementary closure profiles or to a closure assembly with complementary profiles, which comprises at least one retaining clip in a stable position of the profiles. .
  • This device is remarkable in that it also comprises means for pushing a slider towards means for temporarily spacing said flanks of the slider in order to make it cooperate with said profiles, these means for spacing comprising sloping cam paths. ascending adapted to cooperate with said lugs.
  • said cam paths have a longitudinal extent smaller than the stroke of said cursor, so that after having crossed the cam paths, the sides of said cursor return to their initial position.
  • said cam paths are carried by said clamp.
  • slider 1 Figures 1B to 8B has protruding lugs 4 projecting on the sides 11 and 12, in the vicinity of the end thereof, which is opposite the base 10, to open temporarily and facilitate its engagement on complementary profiles, associated or no to a bag, when a stress is exerted on these lugs 4.
  • the lugs 4 have the shape of rectangular parallelepipeds, and are integral with the cursor. They extend on the opposite edges 112 and 122 of the flanks 11 and 12, along the axis X-X '
  • the lugs 4 have, transversely, a thickness identical to that of the edges 112 and 122. However, this thickness could be smaller or thicker.
  • the large external faces 110 and 120 of the flanks 11 and 12 are slightly convergent towards their free end, opposite to the base 10.
  • the angle ⁇ formed by these large external faces is of the order of 4 °.
  • these corridors C 1 and C 2 with convergent edges have a channel profile, such that they make it possible to ensure the guidance of the complementary profiles when the cursor is placed on the profiles. . Once the cursor is assembled, these channel profiles are then without contact, or virtually without contact with the complementary profiles.
  • the facets 115 and 140 on the one hand, and 141 and 125 on the other hand form, with the associated walls of the rib 13 and flanks 11 and 12, an angle ⁇ slightly less than 90 ° .
  • This angle is example of the order of 85 °.
  • Such an orientation of the facets will constitute an attachment element and retaining the protuberances T 1 , T 2 associated with the profiles P 1 , P 2 of the bag S, thus improving the holding of the cursor on tearing.
  • the arrangement of the lugs 4 on the end of the sidewalls 11 and 12 makes it possible to implement a much greater deformation torque than that obtained with ribs conventionally placed on the top of the slider, the lever arm relative to the hinge zone. illustrated by the reference A of the figure 12 being longer. In this way, the deformation of the flanks is easier, which simplifies the laying of the cursor on a bag.
  • the bias at the opening of the sliders and the thrust can be decoupled.
  • the bag is part of a band of contiguous bags, which are moved step by step, to equip them in turn with a slider.
  • the direction of scrolling is illustrated by the arrow h to Figures 13A and 13G .
  • such a device 6 comprises a pair of parallel clamps 7 whose upper jaws are referenced 70, while the lower jaws are referenced 71.
  • this device comprises means (not visible) slider feeding and pushing these sliders in the direction of the bag to be equipped.
  • these means are disposed midway between the aforementioned jaws 7.
  • a first step in this implementation, shown on the figure 13A is to open the jaws 70 and 71 of each clamp 7 so as to engage the edge of the bag S provided with complementary profiles P 1 and P 2 .
  • a third step illustrated in figure 13C the cursor 1 is pushed towards the bag S, so that its biasing pins 4 engage on the paths 50 of the cams 5.
