Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system consisting of a cover film and a touch-and-close fastener part with the features in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Hook and loop fastener parts have proven themselves in many areas as a detachable and functionally reliable connection and closure technology. When used for flight or vehicle seats, they are used, among other things, to attach seat covers to foam body parts consisting of a molded foam, with one adhesive fastener part being foamed into the upholstery foam material when the respective seat is manufactured, and the other adhesive fastener part in each case with the corresponding hooking elements fixed to the upholstery cover material, in particular is sewn.
  • the adhesive fastener parts are placed in so-called receiving pipes of a foaming mold, and by introducing foam material into the free cross sections of the foaming mold, preferably by introducing polyurethane foam (PU foam), the adhesive fastener parts are attached to the foam body parts during the foaming process .
  • PU foam polyurethane foam
  • the document DE 10 2004 015 321 A1 discloses a touch-and-close fastener part of the type mentioned at the outset that is to be fastened to foam body parts by a foaming process.
  • the known solution mentioned provides a lip seal between the wall parts that laterally delimit the shaped cavity of the receiving whistle.
  • the carrier strip which has the connecting means for adhering the molded foam on its upper side, is folded over itself in its free side edge areas, so that when the adhesive closure part is placed on the receiving whistle, the carrier strip with a double material layer rests as a lip seal. The sealing effect that can be achieved leaves a lot to be desired even if the double layer is flush and even with the top of the foaming mold.
  • the EP 0 168 240 A2 describes a system consisting of a cover film and a touch-and-close fastener part, with a first carrier tape with hooking elements arranged on one side and with a second carrier tape, which has a connecting means for adhering a molded foam on its side facing away from the hooking elements, the hooking elements at least temporarily being Covering film are covered, which is connected in a detachable manner with components of the fastener part.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a system of the type mentioned at the outset that has an improved sealing effect compared to the molded foam to be introduced in a foaming mold.
  • an essential feature of the invention is that the cover film itself is formed from an iron-containing fleece material which is provided with an adhesive on its end face facing the hooking elements.
  • the hooking elements are at least partially covered by a covering film which is connected to components of the touch-and-close fastener part in a detachable manner.
  • a separate sealing element in film form is provided, which covers the interlocking elements during the foaming process, ensures that the interlocking elements are kept free of the molded foam during the foaming process, so that the interlocking elements are fully functional after the foaming process is complete and the covering film has been detached.
  • the cover film has the adhesive on its side facing the hooking elements, in particular in the form of a pressure-sensitive adhesive, the cover film being releasably connectable with its two longitudinal edges to the two associated longitudinal edges of the second carrier tape along a connection zone that is protrudes at the edge beyond the first carrier strip, and wherein the connecting zone is arranged on the side of the second carrier strip facing away from the connecting means.
  • the adhesive of the cover film can be in contact with the front ends of the hooking elements, or a protective layer can be inserted between the front ends of the hooking elements and the cover film.
  • the protective layer can be formed from a foil material or from a non-woven material containing iron.
  • the iron-containing fleece material in conjunction with permanent magnetic elements of the foam mold, can form a magnetic holding device for fixing the touch-and-close fastener part in the foam mold.
  • the iron-containing fleece material is provided with adhesive on its end side facing the hooking elements, in particular in the form of the pressure-sensitive adhesive, and thus itself takes on the function of the cover film, which is detachably connected to the two associated longitudinal edges of the second carrier tape along the connection zone by means of the pressure-sensitive adhesive.
  • a protective layer can be arranged between the cover film made of iron-containing fleece material and the hooking elements, which protects the hooking elements from application of the pressure-sensitive adhesive of the fleece material.
  • the two carrier tapes can be connected to one another on their mutually facing sides with an adhesive, in particular in the form of a polyurethane-containing adhesive.
  • an iron wire can be inserted into the adhesive between the two carrier strips.
  • the connecting means on one side of the second carrier strip can be formed from a multiplicity of protruding individual rods which, without additional protrusions, ensure the adhesion of the molded foam.
  • the subject matter of the invention is also the use of a touch-and-close fastener part according to one of claims 1 to 8 in a foam mold, in particular for the production of motor vehicle seat cushions, with a receiving pipe into which the hooking elements covered with the covering film can be inserted, whereby after connecting the molded foam with the connecting means to form the seat cushion and after removing it from the foam mold and after removing the Cover film the hooking elements are exposed.
  • a receiving whistle is denoted by 2, which is part of a foaming mold that is otherwise not shown.
  • the receiving whistle 2 has a mold cavity 4 in the form of a recess, the free cross section of which is adapted to the adhesive fastener part 6 to be received in this cavity.
  • the mold cavity 4 is delimited by planar wall parts 8 along the lateral longitudinal edges.
  • the touch-and-close fastener part 6 has a flat carrier strip 10 with adhesive elements arranged on one side. In the example shown, these are formed by mushroom heads 12 (only partially numbered in the drawing), which are located on stems protruding from the carrier tape 10 . This can be a so-called adhesive fastener, in which 200 to 400 hooking elements and more per cm 2 are provided on the carrier tape 10 .
  • This can be formed by a base fabric made of polyamide with handles made of polypropylene, on which the mushroom heads 12 are formed by thermal processing.
  • the carrier 10 with the mushroom heads 12 can also consist of an injection molded plastic profile. While the interlocking elements are formed by mushroom heads 12 in the example shown, the interlocking elements can also be formed by loops or loops of a loop material. Hook and loop fasteners of this type with mushroom heads 12 as hooking elements are available on the market from the applicant under the product name Pressotex® and with hooking elements in the form of a fleece material under the product name Klettostar® .
  • the carrier tape 10 is firmly connected to a second carrier tape 16 via an adhesive layer 14 on its side facing away from the hooking elements.
  • the adhesive layer 14 consists of a moisture-crosslinking, polyurethane-containing adhesive.
  • an iron wire 18 is embedded in the middle, which extends over the entire length of the touch-and-close fastener part 6 running perpendicularly to the plane of the drawing. In conjunction with permanent magnetic elements (not shown) located in the foaming mold, the iron wire 18 forms a magnetic holding device which fixes the adhesive closure part 6 in the receiving whistle 2 .
  • the second carrier strip 16 fastened via the adhesive layer 14 is an injection-molded plastic profile, which has round projections 20 in the form of free-standing rods, not all of which are numbered, formed on the side facing away from the adhesive layer 14 . These form a connection that ensures good adhesion of the molded foam during the foaming process.
  • the second carrier tape 16 has a greater width than the first carrier tape 10 and protrudes laterally over the first carrier tape 10 with one side strip 22 each having the same width. With the side facing away from the projections 20, these strips 22 each form a connection zone 24 to which a cover film 26 can be detachably attached.
  • this is formed by a film, for example made of polyester, which is provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive 28 like an adhesive tape, with which it is detachably bonded with its longitudinal edges to the connecting zones 24 of the side strips 22 of the second carrier tape 16.
  • the 1 shows this state in which, in preparation for a foaming process, the adhesive closure part 6 is inserted into the receiving pipe 2 together with the cover film 26, which tightly encloses the entire area of the hooking elements (mushroom heads 12) and protects against the ingress of molded foam during the foaming process. After the cover film 26 has been detached, the hooking elements are therefore available in a fully functional manner for the later establishment of the adhesive connection with the respectively corresponding other adhesive fastener part.
  • the Figure 2a shows a further exemplary embodiment of a touch-and-close fastener part in a partially manufactured state.
  • the second embodiment corresponds to the embodiment of FIG 1 , apart from the fact that the cover foil 26 with its adhesive 28 does not rest directly on the mushroom heads 12, but that a protective layer 38 is placed on the adhesive 28.
  • This is formed by a foil, for example made of polyester, the width of which corresponds to the width of the first carrier tape 10 .
  • the cover film 26 with the protective layer 38 is applied to the mushroom heads 12, but not yet adhered to the connection zones 24 of the side strips 22 of the second carrier tape 16 by moving the side edges of the cover film 26, as indicated by arrows 36.
  • the protective layer 38 which extends over the entire width of the first carrier tape 10, protects the mushroom heads 12 from application of the pressure-sensitive adhesive 28 of the cover film 26.
  • the Figure 2b shows the unit consisting of cover film 26 and protective layer 38 as a prefabricated preliminary product 30.
  • This has a protective tape 32 in the form of a non-adhesive film that covers the protective layer 38 and has the same width as the cover film 26, so that the protective tape 32 extends laterally over the Protective layer 38 protrudes.
  • the protective tape 32 can therefore be bonded to the cover film 26 along its side strips.
  • the 3 shows an embodiment that differs from the example of FIG Figure 2a differs by a different design of the magnetic holding device.
  • the example of FIG 3 formed by a non-woven material 40 containing iron. This also replaces the iron wire 18 embedded in the adhesive layer 14 of the first two exemplary embodiments.
  • the Figure 4a shows an inventive embodiment that, like the Figure 2a , which represents the touch-and-close fastener part 6 in the partially manufactured state.
  • a preliminary product 42 is provided to form this exemplary embodiment, which in Figure 4b is shown and, in addition to the lost protective tape 32, contains in sequence the protective layer 38, which protects the mushroom heads 12 from adhesive application, and the ferrous fleece material 40, which has an adhesive layer 42 on the side of the protective layer 38, for example in the form of the pressure-sensitive adhesive 28.
  • the ferrous Fleece material 40 has the same width as the lost protective tape 32 and protrudes laterally beyond the intermediate protective layer 38, so that the side strips of the protective tape 32 can be releasably bonded to the iron-containing fleece material 40 by application, as indicated by the arrows 34.
  • the preliminary product 42 is available to complete the exemplary embodiment of FIG Figure 4a to disposal.
  • the iron-containing fleece material 40 forms the cover film, which forms the tight enclosure for the mushroom heads 12 in the same function as the cover film 26 of the previous exemplary embodiments.
