Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fastener arrangement and a garment arranged with such a fastener arrangement.
  • Garments or other objects arranged with fastener devices such as zip fasteners, hook-and-loop fasteners or button fasteners may allow water to pass through the object on which they are arranged, which is undesired.
  • Garments may include e.g. jackets, trousers, gloves, shoes, etc., but other objects such as for instance bags and backpacks may also be arranged with fasteners.
  • high-legged shoes or boots are to their nature tight around the leg shaft and ankle and are therefore provided with a zipper along the shaft such that the opening of the boot can be widened.
  • moisture may enter the zipper. This has as an unwanted effect that a wearer of the boot will have his or her legs moist by water permeating the zipper.
  • FR 2 691 336 discloses a sport shoe arranged with a sealed fastening system where a sliding clasp fastener is arranged lengthwise for detachably joining two parts of the shoe.
  • a tongue is arranged, which tongue is attached to the two parts of the shoe by means of a respective seam.
  • the tongue transports water seeping through the shoe, adjacent to the fastener, to the outside in order to obtain a waterproof shoe.
  • the tounge has a free end via which water may enter the shoe.
  • An object of this present invention is to solve or at least mitigate this problem.
  • a fastener arrangement which comprises a fastener device, an outlet arranged at a lower end of the fastener device, and a fluid-guiding portion arranged to guide fluid having entered through the fastener device such that the fluid travels towards the lower end and is discharged via said outlet.
  • the fastener device may be embodied in the form of e.g. a zip fastener, a hook-and-loop fastener or a button fastener. Further, the fastener may be arranged on a number of different garments such as for instance jackets, trousers, gloves, shoes, etc., or even bag and backpacks.
  • the fastener device is exemplified in the form of a zip fastener and the garment on which the fastener arrangement is arranged is exemplified in the form of a shoe.
  • the fluid-guiding portion prevents fluid, typically in the form of water, which possibly permeates the zip fastener, from entering a shoe on which the zip fastener arrangement is arranged. Further, gravitation will act on such fluid such that it subsequently is discharged via the outlet arranged at the lower end of the zip fastener. Thus, further advantageously, water permeating the zip fastener will be discharged further facilitating a wearer of the shoe to stay dry-shod.
  • the fluid-guiding portion is arranged at the inside of the zip fastener and fastened to a respective one of two sections to be joined together when the zip fastener is in a zipped (i.e. closed) mode.
  • the fluid-guiding portion is arranged to extend towards the lower end of the zip fastener and form part of the outlet.
  • the fluid-guiding portion is a bellow fastened at the inside of the zip fastener and arranged to be selectively extendable and collapsible in a transversal direction of the zip fastener.
  • the two sections of the shoe in between which the zip fastener is mounted will separate and result in an opening along the shaft of the shoe which assumes a V-shape.
  • the circular or oval opening into which the wearer inserts her foot into the shoe will widen such that the user is given more room to enter the foot and leg into the shoe before zipping the zip fastener such that the two edges of said section of the shoe is joined.
  • the zip fastener arrangement comprises a covering section arranged at the outside of the zip fastener and extending along the length of the zip fastener, at least partly covering fastener means - i.e. teeth - of the zip fastener and allowing a slider of the zip fastener to slide between its two end positions.
  • the covering section protects the zip fastener from fluid and thus renders it more difficult for fluid to permeate the zip fastener.
  • fastener means are embodied in the form of zipper teeth as in the above, whereas in case of using a hook-and-loop fastener, tiny hooks and loops are used and when the two are pressed together, the hooks catch in the loops and fasten the two sections to be joined together when the hook-and-loop fastener is in a closed mode.
  • the fastener means in simply embodied in the form of buttons and holes.
  • Figure 1 shows a zip fastener arrangement according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the zip fastener arrangement comprises a zip fastener 101 and a fluid-guiding portion 102 arranged at the inside of the zip fastener for preventing fluid in the form of e.g. water from finding its way through the arrangement.
  • the fluid-guiding portion is further fastened to a respective one of two sections 103, 104 to be joined together when the zip fastener is in a zipped mode (or separated when the zip fastener is in an unzipped mode).
  • the two sections 103, 104 constitute the fabric or plastic on which zipper teeth 105 are arranged, and to which sections the fluid guiding portion e.g. may be sewn or glued.
  • an outlet 106 is arranged to discharge fluid that impinges on the fluid-guiding portion through the zipper.
  • the fluid-guiding portion 102 is arranged to extend towards the lower end of the zipper 101 and form part of said outlet together with the zipper.
  • Figures 2a and 2b show a zip fastener arrangement according to another embodiment of the present invention.
  • the zip fastener arrangement comprises a zip fastener 101 and a fluid-guiding portion 102 arranged at the inside of the zip fastener for preventing fluid from finding its way through the arrangement.
  • the fluid-guiding portion is embodied in the form of a flexible bellow being selectively extendable and collapsible in a transversal direction 107 of the zip fastener.
  • the opening created by the zipper along the shaft of the shoe will assume a V-shape, the width of which is controlled by the bellow, see Figure 2a . Since the fluid-guiding portion is fastened to the respective one of two sections 103, 104 to be separated when the zip fastener is in an unzipped mode, the length of the bellow determines how much the two sections can pulled apart in the transversal direction of the zip fastener. When die bellow has been fully extended in the transversal direction, the V-shape of the opening along the shaft of the shoe has reached its maximum width. As can be seen, the bellow 102 is continuous and extends between the two sections 103, 104 such that fluid permeating the zipper will not reach the wearer of a shoe on which the zipper arrangement will be mounted.
  • fluid-guiding portion 102 of Figure 1 could be embodied in the form of a flexible bellow as shown in Figures 2a and b , but could alternatively be formed by means of a more rigid material in which case it will not be extendable and collapsible in the transversal direction of the zipper.
  • Figure 3 shows a zip fastener arrangement according to a further embodiment of the present invention.
  • the zip fastener arrangement comprises a zip fastener 101, a fluid-guiding portion 102 and further a covering section 108 arranged at the outside of the zip fastener and extending along the length of the zip fastener, at least partly covering the teeth 105 of the zipper and allowing a slider 109 of the zipper to slide between its two end positions.
  • the covering section protects the zipper from fluid and thus renders it more difficult for fluid to permeate the zipper.
  • Figures 1-3 shows different embodiments of the zip fastener arrangement of the present invention, all of which could be mounted to a shoe, a boot or some other appropriate object.
  • the fluid-guiding portion 102 is arranged to be fastened to a respective one of two sections 103, 104 to be joined together when the zip fastener is in a zipped mode or separated when the zip fastener is in an unzipped mode, i.e. to a respective zipper strip on which the zipper teeth 105 are arranged.
  • Figure 4 shows a zip fastener arrangement according to still a further embodiment of the present invention, in this case mounted to a boot 110.
  • the fluid-guiding portion 102 (being a flexible bellow as described hereinabove) is arranged to be fastened at one of its ends to an object on which the zip fastener arrangement is to be mounted, i.e. the boot, and at another one of its ends to a zip fastener strip 104 on which zip fastener teeth 105 are arranged.
  • the fluid-guiding portion is again fastened to the two sections 103, 104 to be joined together when the zip fastener is in a zipped mode (or separated when the zip fastener is in an unzipped mode).
  • one of the two the sections consists of the boot itself, while the other consists of the zip fastener strip 104.
  • the strip to which the fluid-guiding portion is fastened is the zipper strip being located furthest away from line of attachment 111 of the fluid-guiding portion to the boot.
  • fluid-guiding portion 102 of Figure 4 as an alternative to being fastened at said another one of its ends to the zip fastener strip 104 could be fastened to the actual boot (i.e. similar to the fastening of said one of its ends on the other side of the zipper).
  • the fluid-guiding portion 102 is fastened to zip fastener stripes 103, 104 and that zip fastener strips are mounted to the boot 110.
