Definitions
- the present invention relates to a slider used for a slide fastener and a slide fastener.
- a case where the slide fastener is easy to close generally refers to a state in which front and rear portions of the pair of element rows with a slider in the middle are on a horizontal plane.
- a part of the pair of element rows that is about to enter the slider that is, a plurality of elements positioned on a front side of the slider becomes a state in which both sides thereof in the thickness direction are parallel to a horizontal plane.
- this state is referred to as a state in which the posture of the elements is good.
- the elements meshed with each other in the slider are in a good posture.
- the element includes a body fixed to the fastener tape and extending in a lateral width direction of the fastener tape, and a meshing portion protruding from the body toward a facing tape.
- the body and the meshing portion are in a state parallel to the horizontal plane.
- the elements that is about to enter the slider is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane in the lateral width direction, in other words, if the meshing portion is located on the upper side or lower side with respect to the body, even if the slider is moved forward, the inclined elements may collide with facing surfaces of a pair of wing plates that face each other in the upper-lower direction in the slider, and therefore, it is more difficult for the elements to enter the slider as compare with a case where the elements are in the good posture.
- the element is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a reference plane, when the slider is moved forward, the element is guided into the slider while in contact with the inclined surface, rotates such that the element gradually becomes a posture suitable for meshing, specifically, becomes horizontal, and finally guided into the horizontal surface.
- the facing elements gradually approach and mesh with each other while keeping the horizontal between the upper and lower horizontal surfaces as the slider moves forward.
- Patent Literature 1 WO2015/097793 .
- DE 20 2015 103152 U1 discloses a slider for a slide fastener according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Another slider for a slide fastener is known from EP 2 027 789 A2 .
- the fastener stringers may be difficult to close, and it is desired that the fastener stringers can be closed more easily.
- the fastener stringers can be easily closed even in a case where, for example, when a pair of element rows enters a slider, a separation state (separating distance) between the pair of element rows is narrow and the pair of element rows is close to the pillar, or on the contrary, the pair of element rows is close to flanges located at the left and right end portions of the wing plates; or when the elements are inclined greatly, and a depth width (a width from a front edge portion of a facing surface to a rear side (back side) of an element passage) of the inclined surface is narrow with respect to the inclination angle while it is desired to rotate the element so that the inclination becomes horizontal.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to make it easier to close a pair of fastener stringers.
- a slider for a slide fastener includes a slider body configured to mesh and separate a pair of element rows with and from each other, the pair of element rows extending in a front-rear direction and facing with each other in a left-right direction.
- the slider body includes a pair of wing plates having facing surfaces that face with each other in an upper-lower direction, a pillar connecting front portions of the pair of wing plates with each other in the upper-lower direction at an intermediate portions of the wing plates in the left-right direction, and an element passage penetrating in the front-rear direction between the pair of wing plates, a front side of the element passage being bifurcated into left and right sides of the pillar.
- At least one of the wing plates is provide with guiding surfaces for guiding the pair of separated element rows on both left and right sides with respect to the pillar at a front edge portion of the facing surface thereof.
- the guiding surface is an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to a horizontal direction such that a distance between the pair of wing plates in the upper-lower direction decreases from the front edge portion of the facing surface toward a rear side of the element passage, and includes a first inclined surface portion, a second inclined surface portion, and a third inclined surface portion that are sequentially arranged adjacent to each other in a direction away from the pillar on the left side or right side.
- an inclination angle of the second inclined surface portion is an acute angle so that the second inclined surface portion is closer to a horizontal plane than the first inclined surface portion and the third inclined surface portion, and a maximum depth width of the second inclined surface portion is longer than a maximum depth width of the first inclined surface portion and a maximum depth width of the third inclined surface portion.
- a direction away from the pillar on the left side or right side refers to the left side when the guiding surface is on the left side with respect to the pillar, and refers to the right side when the guiding surface is on the right side with respect to the pillar.
- a relationship between the first to third inclined surface portions is not limited, but in order to rotate the elements of the element row inclined with respect to the horizontal plane to the horizontal, an inclined surface with an inclination angle close to the horizontal plane is desirable, that is, a gentle inclined surface is preferably widen, and therefore, the relationship is made as follows.
- an area of the second inclined surface portion is larger than an area of the first inclined surface portion and an area of third inclined surface portion.
- the shape of the second inclined surface portion is not limited, but the following is desirable in order to make the inclined surface portion as wide as possible and to make the posture of the inclined element horizontal.
- the second inclined surface portion has a triangular shape.
- the slider body preferably includes the following in addition to the pair of wing plates, the pillar, and the element passage.
- the slider body includes a pair of flanges protruding from left and right edge portions of at least one of the pair of wing plates in a direction in which the distance between the pair of wing plates in the upper-lower direction is reduced.
- the wing plate provided with the guiding surfaces on both left and right sides with respect to the pillar is the wing plate from which the flange protrudes.
- the guiding surface is formed between the pillar and the flange.
- At least one wing plate may include guiding surfaces on both left and right sides with respect to the pillar, but in order to enter the slider easily no matter how much the element is inclined so as to close the pair of fastener stringers easily, the following is desired.
- the pair of wing plates each include the guiding surfaces on both left and right sides with respect to the pillar.
- the slider is provided with guiding surfaces on both left and right sides with respect to the pillar on the pair of wing plates, it may also be difficult for the elements to enter the slider due to the structure of the element. It is desirable to use the slider described above for a slide fastener provided with such an element having a hard-to-enter structure, and an example thereof is as follows.
- a slide fastener includes the slider described above, and a pair of fastener stringers to be guided by the slider.
- the pair of fastener stringers includes a pair of tapes extending in a front-rear direction, and a pair of element rows fixed to facing side edge portions of the pair of tapes.
- the element row includes a plurality of elements fixed along the tapes.
- the element includes an element body fixed to the tape, a meshing portion protruding from a lower portion of the element body to a lateral side and to be meshed with another element, and a concealing portion protruding from an upper portion of the element body to the lateral side and partially concealing the meshing portion.

- the element 4 can easily enter the slider 5 as long as the element 4 collides with the first and third inclined surface portions 73, 75, and the first and third inclined surface portions 83, 85.
- the maximum depth width 84W of the second inclined surface portion 84 in the lower wing plate 8 is longer than the maximum depth width 83W of the first inclined surface portion 83 and the maximum depth width 85W of the third inclined surface portion 85, and similarly, the maximum depth width of the second inclined surface portion 74 in the upper wing plate 7 is longer than the maximum depth width of the first inclined surface portion 73 and the maximum depth width of the third inclined surface portion 75, so that the area of the upper and lower guiding surfaces 72 and 82 can be reduced compared to the case where the depth width is the same as the maximum depth width of the second inclined surface portion over the entire length of the front side of the inclined surface, and therefore, the area of the upper and lower meshing surfaces 77, 87 can be increased, and the pair of fastener stringers 2, 2 can be easily closed.
