Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of preparing a slide fastener, more specifically to a method of preparing coupling elements for a slide fastener comprised of plastics material in which the coupling elements are adorned with decorative elements.
  • a problem associated with slide fasteners is the inherent nature of the coupling or fastening elements that form the closure mechanism for the slide fastener to receive foreign materials.
  • the presence of the foreign materials, if left unchecked may damage the closure mechanism by preventing movement of a slider along the length of the slide fastener.
  • removal of the foreign body may result in damage to the coupling elements such that the slide fastener no longer closes.
  • coupling agents comprised of plastics material which are of a sufficient strength to withstand the operation of the slide fastener yet still have a suitably attractive appearance
  • the molding of coupling agents comprised of plastic material with the provision of holes or indents for receiving ornamentation such as jewels or beads increases the likelihood of plastic fibres which can remain on the teeth until the decorated slide fastener has been used a number of times.
  • the wear of the coupling agents subsequently leads to the fibres becoming detached from the coupling agents but at the same time increases the chance of the fibres becoming trapped in between the coupling agents and thereby causing damage.
  • the decorative elements such as beads and crystals used to adorn clothing and hence slide fasteners are not only difficult to handle but are also costly to manufacture and utilise. Consequently, when a slide fastener is embellished with such crystals and decorative beads it is important that the decorative element is not only retained securely in place on the slide fastener but also that the decorative elements are protected from excessive wear and damage which could ultimately lead to the decorative elements loosing their lustre but which are also displayed on the slide fastener to maximum effect.
  • Conventional slide fasteners usually traditionally comprise a pair of fastener tapes upon which are mounted rows of individual coupling elements which cooperate or interdigitate when the fastener tapes pass through a slider mounted on one of the fastener tapes and in so doing either close or open the slide fastener accordingly.
  • the interdigitation of the coupling elements has a limiting effect on the visible appearance of the slide fastener. That is, due to the required interconnection of the coupling elements needed to ensure a sufficient closing of the slide fastener, the design of the external appearance of the slide fastener has been strictly limited not least of all because the coupling elements are required to pass through the slider.
  • a zipper closure comprising a first and second row of teeth formed on a first and second band, each band comprising an edge bead or web.
  • the teeth have free ends, and each have a channel such that when said zipper closure is being closed the free ends of said first row of teeth extend into an area of attachment of the teeth of the second row of teeth and vice versa, whereby the channels receive the edge beads or webs.
  • the zipper closure further comprises a slider with a top cover plate and a bottom cover plate connected by a cross-piece, said slider having a wider front end and a narrower back end, said cross-piece having a front end directed towards said wider front end of said slider and a back end directed towards said narrower back end of said slider.
  • decorative stones are arranged on the teeth and also on the zipper pull. However, there are no details provided as to how the teeth are secured and maintained in place.
  • the decorative stones are substantially centrally located with respect to the coupling elements and protrude out of the plane of the coupling elements. Consequently the stones are prone to damage.
  • a zipper closure including first and second rows of teeth formed on first and second bands. Each tooth has a free end in which a channel is formed. Each channel has a bottom which is convexly curved.
  • the zipper closure includes a slider with a projection for opening and dosing the zipper closure and decorative stones are arranged in a straight line along the zipper by the spacing between the stones being small in comparison to the size of the stones and the support surfaces for the stones on the teeth being kept correspondingly small.
  • the arrangement of the invention allows each stone to be adequately surrounded by plastic material while nonetheless the spacing between successive stones being small.
  • the stones are embedded in substantially the centre of the teeth to allow suitable connection between protrusions residing on the sides of the plastic teeth. There is no mention as to how the stones may be protected from damage.
  • each stone significantly protrudes from the outer surface of the tooth to which it is attached. Consequently, sliders present on the zippers have to negotiate the raised jewels which can also lead to interference of the slider and damage thereto as well as damage to the jewels which can result in reduced lustre.
  • a jewelry article in which jewelry stones are injected into a support body made of plastic.
  • the jewelry stones are arranged on both sides of a flat support body.
  • the support body is produced in two successive injection molding processes and, during a second method step, all of the stones rest on an injection molded part produced in a first method step.
  • the stones protrude out of the plane of the injected molded surface which means that the stones are prone to damage and may also cause damage through interaction with other soft materials.
  • Swiss Patent Application CH 308551A discloses a method of preparing a slide fastener comprising a pair of first and second stringers each comprising a tape and a row of coupling elements mounted on one longitudinal edge of the tape; and a slider adapted to slideably move along the rows of the coupling elements; wherein the coupling elements comprise plastic material; and wherein the coupling elements further comprise decorative elements, the method comprising the step of shaping and securing the plastic coupling elements to the tape prior to attachment of the decorative elements.
  • the present invention therefore seeks to overcome the problems associated with the methods of producing plastic coupling elements for slide fasteners wherein the coupling elements are provided with attractive ornamentation whilst still retaining the required flexibility and strength required for modern slide fasteners and whilst still providing a sleek and attractive appearance of the slide fastener.
  • the ornamentation does not provide any impediment for the smooth movement of a slider along the zipper and the ornamentation are also protected from damage.
  • the inventors of the present invention have now found a method that allows the manufacture of plastic coupling elements embellished with jewels and/or beads in a sufficiently strong and effective manner whilst not impairing the closure mechanism of the slide fastener and which also affords protection for the decorative elements or ornamentation.
  • the insertion of the ornamentation or jewels into the teeth in accordance with the present invention allows the jewels to be optionally positioned in the coupling elements.
  • the present invention finds particular application as an improved slide fastener for the clothing and soft furnishings industry, but it not limited thereto.
  • the present invention therefore seeks to address the problems outlined above and provides an improved method that is able to meet the stringent requirements of modern slide fasteners and the aesthetic requirements of modern designs.
  • a method of preparing a slide fastener comprising:
  • the decorative elements secured to the coupling elements do not substantially protrude out of a plane of the coupling elements.
  • the coupling elements are prepared by injection moulding of plastic material. Furthermore, it is preferred that the decorative elements are held in a position prior to heat treatment with the coupling elements. Preferably the decorative elements are fitted in an indentation on the coupling elements prior to heat treatment with the coupling elements. In addition, it is preferred that the decorative elements are further secured to the coupling elements by adhesive.
  • the decorative elements are further secured to the coupling elements by mechanical means and wherein the mechanical means comprises a protrusion or fastening means on the pre-formed coupling element when the coupling elements and the decorative elements are heated to the maleable transition temperature of the coupling elements. Consequently, the mechanical means may be removed or lost when the coupling elements and decorative elements are heated to the maleable transition temperature of the coupling elements.
  • the decorative elements are allowed to equilibrate with the coupling elements prior to heat treatment.
  • the coupling elements and the decorative elements are heated to a sufficient temperature to allow the plastic coupling element to become maleable without loosing the entire shape of the coupling elements.
  • the decorative elements are immersed into the softened coupling elements so that each decorative element is substantially flush with an outer face of each coupling element. Consequently, further pressure is applied to the decorative elements to ensure immersion of the decorative elements within the coupling elements.
  • the coupling elements and the decorative elements are then cooled to further set the decorative elements into position on the coupling elements.
  • the decorative elements are preferably moulded to the coupling elements using sonic or radio waves. Microwaves may also be used. Most preferably, the sonic or radio waves are applied using an ultrasonic horn.
  • the decorative elements may be pre-heated prior to insertion into the coupling elements.
  • the decorative elements are pre-heated whilst in the indentation in the coupling elements prior to the heat treatment of the coupling elements and decorative elements.
  • the decorative elements may be pre-shaped prior to insertion into the coupling elements.
  • a slide fastener prepared by the method of the present invention for clothing and/or furnishings.
  • FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a prior art plastic coupling element (10) fitted with a jewel decoration (12).
  • the support body (14) of the coupling element is comprised of plastic material and completely surrounds the jewel (12).
  • Preparation of the coupling element (10) is effected by injection moulding.
  • the jewel (12) is for example held in position with respect to a blank of thermoplastic material.
  • the blank and jewel are then both subjected to an injection moulding process after which the blank is formed in coupling element and in so doing completely surrounds the jewel contained within the coupling element.
  • FIG. 5 there is illustrated a slide fastener prepared with coupling elements comprised of plastic material and prepared according to the method of the present invention.
  • the slide fastener (100) comprises a pair of first stringer (102) and second stringer (103).
  • Each stringer (102, 103) is comprised of a tape (105a, and 105b respectively) and a row of coupling elements (50) which are attached to one longitudinal edge of the tape.
  • the edge of each tape is provided with a cord (106a and 106b) which protrudes from the upper and lower faces of the tape and upon which the coupling elements (107) are mounted.
  • the slider (112) preferably comprises a pull tab (114) to allow a user to slidably move the slider along the row of the coupling elements and in so doing separate the coupling elements of the first stringer and the coupling elements of the second stringer to open the slide fastener or engages the coupling elements of the first stringer and the coupling elements of the second stringer to close the slide fastener.
  • the coupling elements are comprised of plastic material and have been prepared by the method according to the present invention.
  • the coupling element (50) has a body upon which a decorative element is mounted.
  • the body has a head portion (51) and a base portion (52).
  • the head portion (51) is arranged away from the tape edge in the width direction of the tape.
  • the head portion has a shape expanded in the longitudinal direction of the tape.
  • the head portions of the coupling elements are engaged with one another when the opposing coupling elements are interdigitated.
  • the base portion (52) is arranged so as to cover the cord (106a, 106b) in the front-back direction.
  • the coupling elements are mounted along the cord (106a and 106b) at predetermined intervals.
  • the top surface of the coupling element is planar.
  • the slide fastener may comprise a retaining box and an insert pin (not shown) mounted on the respective tapes (105a, 105b) to enable the stringers (102, 103) to be coupled together as is well known in the art of slide fasteners.
  • the first and second stringers (102, 103) of the slide fastener (100) are preferably separable as is also known in the art.
  • a key feature of the slide fastener prepared with plastic coupling elements by the method of the present invention as illustrated in Figure 5 is that the coupling elements (107) are fitted or adorned with decorative elements (120) which may include for example but not limited to: crystals, beads, jewels or mixtures thereof.
  • the decorative elements may be comprised of for example glass or coloured plastic material. It is preferred however that the decorative elements are comprised of crystal.
  • the decorative elements (120) are located on top surfaces of the coupling elements. In addition, the decorative elements (120) are located towards the head portions of the coupling elements. Consequently, when the slider (112) moves along the slide fastener and the coupling elements are interdigitated, the decorative elements are arranged on a substantially straight line in the longitudinal direction of the tape in line with the slider.
  • the pull tab may also comprise the same decorative elements in the form of for example glass or plastic materials, jewels, beads or crystals.
  • the decorative elements (120) in the form of beads, crystals or jewels may be secured by additional means to the plastic coupling elements to prevent loss of the decorative elements.
  • a key feature of the coupling elements prepared by the method of the present invention is the fact that the decorative elements are protected by a raised wall and a protective well formed in the coupling elements.
  • the decorative elements may protrude by a small amount from the top surfaces of the coupling elements or alternatively, depending on the size of the decorative elements the decorative elements may extend by a limited amount, but not enough to cause interference with the movement of the slider along the slide fastener. Consequently, the decorative elements do not pose any resistance to the movement of the slider along the slide fastener.
  • the coupling elements are arranged such that the coupling elements on opposing tapes are offset with respect to one another in the longitudinal direction of the tape.
  • the shape of the coupling elements ensures a substantially close packed arrangement when slide fastener is closed. Consequently, the gap between individual coupling elements on the same tape and also coupling elements on the opposing tape is particularly small when the slide fastener is closed in order to provide an attractive appearance and substantially straight line arrangement of the decorative elements when the slide fastener is closed.
  • the close packed arrangement of the coupling elements in the closed position and the rounded edges of the coupling elements in combination with the smooth edges of the decorative elements ensures that the material to which the slide fastener is secured is not readily trapped between the coupling elements and the decorative elements.
  • the coupling elements and decorative elements do not damage the material as there are no roughened surfaces on either the coupling elements or the decorative elements.

  • plastic coupling elements for use in a slide fastener and as described with respect to Figures 2 , 4a and 4b is prepared as follows.
  • Second of all coupling elements or a pre-form set of coupling elements are prepared from a blank of plastic material and are injection moulded onto a tape for a slide fastener. With this step, the coupling elements are fixed to the tape. This not only allows the desired shape of the coupling element to be achieved but also ensures uniformity with respect to the finished coupling element.
  • a decorative element is then applied to the coupling element and preferably fitted into a shape or indentation for receiving one or more of the decorative elements and preferably allowed to settle.
  • the decorative element is secured to the coupling element in a number of ways. For example, if starting from a pre-shaped coupling element, the decorative element may be applied to a desired surface of the coupling element and then the coupling element and decorative element are heated to a sufficient temperature to allow the plastic coupling element to become maleable without loosing the shape of the coupling element. Once the plastic of the coupling element has reached the desired maleable transition state the decorative elements is immersed into the softened coupling element so that the decorative element is substantially flush with the top surface of the coupling element. With this step, the decorative element are securely fixed to the coupling element.
  • the decorative element may be applied to the top surface of the coupling element into which the coupling element is subsequently immersed, or the coupling element may be applied to an indented surface of the pre-formed coupling element into which the decorative element is subsequently immersed.

  • various forms of heat may be applied to the coupling elements to ensure that the thermoplastic coupling elements may be deformed
  • a preferred method in accordance with the present application is the use of an ultrasonic horn.
  • the use of sonic waves ensures that the thermoplastic material at the interface between the coupling element and decorative element melts sufficiently. Whilst not wishing to be bound by any particular theory, it is assumed that the sonic waves pass through the body of the coupling element and as the thermoplastic material of the coupling element melts, the weight of the decorative element ensures that the decorative element is drawn further into the body of the coupling element.
