Description

本発明は、左右一対のファスナーストリンガーを肩口同士が対向する一対のスライダーに挿通したスライドファスナーに関する。 The present invention relates to a slide fastener in which a pair of left and right fastener stringers are inserted into a pair of sliders whose shoulders face each other.

この種の２個のスライダーを備えたスライドファスナーは、防水加工または撥水加工がなされた各種の鞄類等にも広く使われている。また、こうしたスライドファスナーが使われている鞄では、往々にしてスライドファスナーを閉じた状態で２個のスライダー間を錠止し、鞄がみだりに開けられないようにしている。防水性を有するスライドファスナーは、繊維材料から織成又は編成したテープを基材として、前記基材の片面又は表裏両面に天然ゴムや合成ゴム等のエラストマー樹脂類にて被覆した防水構造を有し、或いは合成樹脂テープからなり、このファスナーテープの一側縁部に沿ってファスナーエレメントが取着一体化されている。このファスナーエレメントの取着の方法は、ファスナーテープのエレメント取付縁部に予めファスナーエレメントを縫製によって縫着したのち、ファスナーテープの片面にファスナーエレメントの噛合頭部を残してエラストマー樹脂類で水密に被覆し、或いは撥水剤を付与してファスナーテープに取着一体化している。また、例えば特許文献１の図１１及び図１２にも記載されているように、防水性ファスナーテープの縁部に複数のファスナーエレメントを取り付けてエレメント列を形成し、そのエレメント列の上表面および外方側面を防水性材料を連続させて被覆し隆起条を形成し、エレメント間から水などが浸入しないようにしている。
実開平５−１３０７号公報 A slide fastener having two sliders of this type is widely used for various types of jars that are waterproof or water repellent. In addition, in the case where such a slide fastener is used, the two sliders are often locked while the slide fastener is closed so that the hook cannot be opened openly. The waterproof slide fastener has a waterproof structure in which a tape woven or knitted from a fiber material is used as a base material and one side or both sides of the base material is covered with an elastomer resin such as natural rubber or synthetic rubber. Or it consists of a synthetic resin tape, and the fastener element is attached and integrated along one side edge part of this fastener tape. The fastener element is attached by sewing the fastener element to the element mounting edge of the fastener tape in advance by sewing, and then covering the fastener tape with one side of the fastener tape in a watertight manner with the elastomer resin leaving the meshing head of the fastener element. Alternatively, a water repellent is provided and integrated with the fastener tape. Further, for example, as described in FIGS. 11 and 12 of Patent Document 1, an element row is formed by attaching a plurality of fastener elements to the edge of the waterproof fastener tape, and the upper surface and the outer surface of the element row are formed. The side surface is continuously covered with a waterproof material to form a ridge to prevent water and the like from entering between the elements.

ところで、本発明の対象となる２個のスライダーが挿通されたスライドファスナー、特にその肩口同士を向かい合わせて配される２個のスライダーに左右のファスナーストリンガーを挿通したスライドファスナーにあっては、スライダーをファスナーエレメント上で摺動させてスライドファスナーを閉じたとき、スライダーの前記肩口端同士が当接する。一般のスライダーは、上翼板、下翼板、上下翼板の一端を所要の間隔をおいて連結する連結柱、前記上翼板の上面に立設される引手取付柱、及び前記引手取付柱に取り付けられる引手から構成される。前記上下翼板の左右側縁には上下に向かい合って延在するエレメント案内用フランジを有しており、上下翼板間にＹ字状のエレメント案内通路が形成される。通常、前記連結柱が設けられている側の端部が肩口と呼ばれ、その反対側の端部が後口と呼ばれる。 By the way, in a slide fastener in which two sliders to be an object of the present invention are inserted, and particularly in a slide fastener in which left and right fastener stringers are inserted into two sliders arranged with their shoulders facing each other, the slider When the slide fastener is closed on the fastener element, the shoulder ends of the slider come into contact with each other. The general slider includes an upper wing plate, a lower wing plate, a connecting column for connecting one end of the upper and lower wing plates with a predetermined interval, a pulling attachment column standing on the upper surface of the upper wing plate, and the pulling attachment column Consists of a puller attached to. The left and right side edges of the upper and lower blades have element guide flanges extending vertically upward and downward, and a Y-shaped element guide passage is formed between the upper and lower blades. Usually, the end portion on the side where the connecting column is provided is called a shoulder opening, and the opposite end portion is called a rear opening.

スライダーの形状は上面視で茸状を呈している。すなわち、肩口は前方に向けて緩く湾曲して突出し、その先端部の湾曲面により笠部が形成され、その中央部から後方に直線的に延びる後口を形成する。また、左右一対のファスナーストリンガーがスライダーに挿通されているとき、同スライダーの前記肩口では連結柱を挟んで左右のファスナーストリンガーが分離して開いた状態にあり、上記後口では左右のファスナーストリンガーのファスナーエレメントが噛合して閉じた状態にある。その結果、２個のスライダーの肩口同士を当接させ或いは最接近させたとき、そのスライダーの肩口の湾曲形状と前記連結柱の存在とにより、２個のスライダーの各肩口端の間には左右のファスナーストリンガーを上下に連通する間隙が必然的に生じるようになる。本明細書では、前記肩口側を前方、後口側を後方とし、引手取付柱の立設側を上方、下翼板側を下方とする。従って、スライダーの前方に向かって左右側を左右方向としている。 The shape of the slider has a hook shape when viewed from above. That is, the shoulder opening is curved gently and protrudes toward the front, and the shade portion is formed by the curved surface of the tip portion, thereby forming a rear opening that linearly extends rearward from the central portion. Further, when a pair of left and right fastener stringers are inserted through the slider, the left and right fastener stringers are separated and opened at the shoulder opening of the slider with the connecting pillar interposed therebetween, and the left and right fastener stringers are opened at the rear opening. The fastener element is engaged and closed. As a result, when the shoulders of the two sliders are brought into contact or closest to each other, the curved shape of the shoulders of the sliders and the presence of the connecting pillars cause the left and right shoulders of the two sliders to be left and right. A gap is inevitably generated in the vertical direction of the fastener stringer. In this specification, the shoulder opening side is the front, the rear opening side is the rear, the standing side of the pulling attachment column is the upper side, and the lower wing plate side is the lower side. Therefore, the left and right sides are set in the left and right direction toward the front of the slider.

前述のように２個のスライダーの各肩口端の間に左右のファスナーストリンガーを上下に貫通する間隙が生じると、例えば雨の日などでは前記間隙を通して水が浸入し、鞄類の内部にまで達するようになる。 As described above, when a gap that vertically penetrates the left and right fastener stringers occurs between the shoulder ends of the two sliders, for example, on a rainy day, water enters through the gap and reaches the inside of the moss. It becomes like this.

本発明は、前述のような従来の課題を解決すべくなされたものであり、その目的は２個のスライダーの肩口側を向い合わせにして装着されたスライドファスナーであっても、ファスナー閉鎖時に生じる肩口端間の隙間を通して水分が容易には浸入しないスライドファスナーを提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described conventional problems, and the object of the present invention is when the fasteners are closed even when the slide fasteners are mounted with the shoulder sides of the two sliders facing each other. An object of the present invention is to provide a slide fastener in which moisture does not easily enter through a gap between shoulder and shoulder ends.

かかる目的は、本発明の基本的構成である、ファスナーテープの対向するエレメント取付縁部に沿って列設された複数のファスナーエレメントを有する一対のファスナーストリンガーと、各肩口端が対向して配され、前記ファスナーエレメントを噛合離脱させる一対のスライダーとを備えてなり、前記一対のスライダーの肩口端の当接時又は最接近時に肩口端間に発生する間隙部を隠蔽する間隙隠蔽部材を有してなることを特徴とするスライドファスナーにより効果的に達成される。 The object is to provide a pair of fastener stringers having a plurality of fastener elements arranged along opposing element mounting edges of the fastener tape, which are the basic configuration of the present invention, and the shoulder ends arranged opposite to each other. A pair of sliders for engaging and disengaging the fastener elements, and a gap concealing member for concealing a gap portion generated between the shoulder mouth ends when the shoulder mouth ends of the pair of sliders come into contact or closest to each other. It is effectively achieved by a slide fastener characterized in that.

前記間隙隠蔽部材は、前記スライダーとは独立した単独部材からなる場合と、前記１対のスライダーのうち１つのスライダーに取り付けられている場合とがある。前記間隙隠蔽部材が単独部材からなる場合には、前記間隙部を隠蔽する隠蔽部と上記一対のファスナーストリンガーが挿通するストリンガー挿通部とを有し、列設された上記ファスナーエレメントに沿って摺動可能に構成することが好ましい。また前記間隙隠蔽部材が前記１対のスライダーのうち１つのスライダーに取り付けられる場合、その取付対象としてスライダー本体と引手本体とがあり、更には引手本体に直接設けられる場合と引手本体に連結部材を介して設けられる場合とがある。また、前記間隙隠蔽部材は、前記スライダーに係脱する係脱部を更に有することが望ましい。 The gap hiding member may be a single member independent of the slider, or may be attached to one slider of the pair of sliders. When the gap concealing member is a single member, the gap concealing member has a concealing part that conceals the gap part and a stringer insertion part through which the pair of fastener stringers are inserted, and slides along the lined fastener elements. It is preferable to make it possible. Further, when the gap concealing member is attached to one slider of the pair of sliders, there are a slider body and a puller body as attachment targets, and a case where the gap concealing member is directly provided on the puller body and a connecting member on the puller body. May be provided. The gap concealing member may further include an engaging / disengaging portion that engages / disengages with the slider.

Effect

上記間隙隠蔽部材の基本的な機能は、上述のとおり一対のスライダーの肩口端の当接時又は最接近時に肩口端間に発生する間隙部を隠蔽することにある。この間隙隠蔽部材による肩口端間に発生する間隙部を隠蔽することにより、間隙部を通して水分や塵芥などがスライドファスナーの裏面側に浸入することを防ぐことができる。 As described above, the basic function of the gap concealing member is to conceal a gap portion generated between the shoulder opening ends when the shoulder opening ends of the pair of sliders come into contact or closest to each other. By concealing the gap generated between the shoulder ends by the gap concealing member, it is possible to prevent moisture and dust from entering the back side of the slide fastener through the gap.

前記間隙隠蔽部材がスライダーとは独立した別部材である場合としては、間隙隠蔽部材をスライドファスナーに脱着可能に構成する場合と、同間隙隠蔽部材が間隙部を隠蔽する隠蔽部と一対のファスナーストリンガーが挿通するストリンガー挿通部とから構成する場合とがある。いずれの場合も、間隙隠蔽部材をスライダーとは別に単独でスライドファスナーのファスナーエレメントに沿った任意の位置にセットすることができるため、同間隙隠蔽部材のセット位置によりスライドファスナーの開閉位置を予め決めておくことができる。間隙隠蔽部材がスライドファスナーに対して脱着可能である場合には、同間隙隠蔽部材をスライダー、特に引手本体に連結部材を介して連結しておけば、間隙隠蔽部材を遺失することがない。更に間隙隠蔽部材にスライダーに係脱する係脱部を設ける場合には、同係脱部をスライダーに係止させておけば、間隙隠蔽部材がスライダーからみだりに外れることがなくなる。 When the gap concealing member is a separate member independent of the slider, the gap concealing member is configured to be detachable from the slide fastener, the concealing part that conceals the gap part and the pair of fastener stringers. There is a case where it is configured from a stringer insertion part through which is inserted. In either case, the gap concealing member can be set at an arbitrary position along the fastener element of the slide fastener independently of the slider, so that the opening and closing position of the slide fastener is determined in advance by the setting position of the gap concealing member. I can keep it. When the gap concealing member can be attached to and detached from the slide fastener, the gap concealing member will not be lost if the gap concealing member is connected to the slider, in particular, the handle body via the connecting member. Further, when the engagement / disengagement portion that engages / disengages with the slider is provided on the gap concealing member, the clearance concealment member does not come off from the slider if the engagement / disengagement portion is engaged with the slider.

以下、本発明の最良の実施形態を図面に示す代表的な実施例に基いて具体的に説明する。 DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be specifically described below based on typical examples shown in the drawings.

図１〜図６は本発明の実施例１である間隙隠蔽部材が取り付けられたスライドファスナーの要部を示しており、図１はその平面図であり、図２は同スライドファスナーに適用される本発明の特徴的構成部材である間隙隠蔽部材の立体図、図３は図２のIII-III 線に沿った矢視断面図、図４は同間隙隠蔽部材に左右のファスナーストリンガーが挿通された状態を示す縦断面図である。図５及び図６は同間隙隠蔽部材に一対のスライダーが嵌着したときの状態を示す説明図である。なお以下の説明では、ファスナーテープに同一構造の防水性ファスナーテープを例に挙げて説明するが、本実施例におけるファスナーテープは、必ずしも防水性である必要はなく、通常の繊維製のファスナーテープ単体でも、或いは合成樹脂材料からなるファスナーテープであってもよい。この点は、以下に述べる他の実施例についても同様である。 FIGS. 1-6 has shown the principal part of the slide fastener with which the gap concealing member which is Example 1 of this invention was attached, FIG. 1 is the top view, FIG. 2 is applied to the slide fastener FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line III-III of FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a left and right fastener stringer inserted through the gap concealing member. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view which shows a state. 5 and 6 are explanatory views showing a state when a pair of sliders are fitted to the gap concealing member. In the following description, a waterproof fastener tape having the same structure as the fastener tape will be described as an example. However, the fastener tape in this embodiment does not necessarily need to be waterproof, and a normal fiber fastener tape alone Alternatively, it may be a fastener tape made of a synthetic resin material. This also applies to the other embodiments described below.

本実施例によるスライドファスナー１の本体１０は、左右一対の防水性ファスナーテープ１１の一側縁部に沿って複数のファスナーエレメント１２が取着された左右一対のファスナーストリンガー１３と、通常の構成を備えた合成樹脂製又は金属製の第１及び第２の２個のスライダー２０ａ，２０ｂと、図示せぬ上下止部とを備えている。防水性の前記ファスナーストリンガー１３は、図４に示すように繊維製織物や編物からなるテープ基材１４のエレメント取付縁部１５の一表面に、合成樹脂からなる１本の線条をコイル状に成形して得られる多数のファスナーエレメント１２からなるファスナーエレメント列１６を縫製により取着したのち、そのエレメント取付側表面とは反対側の基材表面全体に、例えば天然又は合成ゴム材料や各種の合成樹脂からなるエラストマー材料１７をもって被覆一体化して製造される。 The body 10 of the slide fastener 1 according to the present embodiment has a normal configuration with a pair of left and right fastener stringers 13 having a plurality of fastener elements 12 attached along one side edge of a pair of left and right waterproof fastener tapes 11. The first and second sliders 20a and 20b made of synthetic resin or metal are provided, and a vertical stopper (not shown) is provided. As shown in FIG. 4, the waterproof fastener stringer 13 is formed by coiling a single filament made of a synthetic resin on one surface of an element mounting edge 15 of a tape base material 14 made of a textile fabric or knitted fabric. After the fastener element row 16 composed of a large number of fastener elements 12 obtained by molding is attached by sewing, the entire surface of the base material opposite to the element mounting side surface is, for example, natural or synthetic rubber material or various synthetic materials. It is manufactured by coating and integrating with an elastomer material 17 made of resin.

コイル状に成形された１個の前記ファスナーエレメント１２は正面視で左右に僅かに長い長円形状を呈し、その長径部の頂点に形成される噛合頭部１２ａと、同噛合頭部１２ａから隣接するファスナーエレメント１２に向けて延びる上下脚部１２ｂと、隣接する上下脚部の間を反転しながら連結する反転部１２ｃとから構成されている。図示例では、ファスナーエレメント１２の縫製時にコイル状のファスナーエレメント列１６の内部に芯紐１８が挿通されてファスナーエレメント１２とともにテープ基材１４に縫着一体化される。 The one fastener element 12 formed in a coil shape has an oval shape slightly longer to the left and right when viewed from the front, and a meshing head 12a formed at the apex of the long diameter portion and adjacent to the meshing head 12a. The upper and lower leg portions 12b extending toward the fastener element 12 and the reversing portion 12c that connects the adjacent upper and lower leg portions while reversing. In the illustrated example, when the fastener elements 12 are sewn, the core string 18 is inserted into the coiled fastener element row 16 and is sewn and integrated with the tape base material 14 together with the fastener elements 12.

本実施例における上記ファスナーストリンガー１３には、上記第１及び第２のスライダー２０ａ，２０ｂが各肩口Ｆを向かい合わせるようにして挿通されている。各スライダー２０ａ，２０ｂは、例えば図８に仮想線で示すような従来と同様の同一構造を備えており、平面視で茸形状をもつ上下翼板２２，２３と、上下翼板の一端部を所定の間隔をもって連結する連結柱２４と、上翼板２２の上面にあって前後から立ち上がり途中で水平に屈曲した門型の引手取付柱２５と、同取付柱２５に前後方向に回動可能に取り付けられる引手２６（図１参照。）とを有している。ここで、引手２６を除く、上下翼板２２，２３、引手取付柱２５及び及び連結柱２４を総称してスライダー胴体２１という。前記上下翼板２２，２３は、その左右側縁部から上下に接近するようにして延びる上下のエレメント案内フランジを有しており、上下翼板２２，２３の間にＹ字状のファスナーエレメント通路が形成される。 The first and second sliders 20a and 20b are inserted into the fastener stringer 13 in this embodiment so that the shoulders F face each other. The sliders 20a and 20b have the same structure as that of the prior art as shown by phantom lines in FIG. 8, for example, and the upper and lower blades 22 and 23 having a bowl shape in plan view and one end of the upper and lower blades A connecting column 24 that is connected at a predetermined interval, a gate-type pulling column mounting column 25 that is bent on the upper surface of the upper blade 22 and that is bent horizontally in the middle of rising, and can be rotated in the front-rear direction. It has a handle 26 (see FIG. 1) to be attached. Here, the upper and lower blades 22 and 23, the handle attachment column 25, and the connecting column 24 excluding the handle 26 are collectively referred to as the slider body 21. The upper and lower blades 22 and 23 have upper and lower element guide flanges extending so as to approach the upper and lower sides from the left and right side edge portions, and a Y-shaped fastener element passage is interposed between the upper and lower blades 22 and 23. Is formed.

また、本実施例のスライドファスナーにあって、前記２個のスライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの間には、本発明の特徴的構成部材である間隙隠蔽部材３０が摺動自在に取り付けられている。この間隙隠蔽部材３０は、図２〜図６に示すように、上下板部３１，３２と、上下板部３１，３２を所定の間隔をおいて連結する連結部３３とからなる。上下板部３１，３２は同一の外周形状を有し、図示例にあっては方形板材の相対する２辺の中央部をそれぞれ奥に向けて狭まる２次曲線状に切除した上下切除部３１ａ，３２ａが形成されている。この切除部３１ａ，３２ａの形状は、上記スライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの上下翼板２２，２３の各肩口側端部の湾曲形状に倣わせている。ただし、前記上板部３１の前記切除部３１ａの上縁部には、同縁部に沿って各スライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの上翼板２２の各肩口側端部を嵌着させる庇部３１ｃが突設されている。前記下板部３２には前述の庇部は形成されていない。また前記上板部３１の上面中央部には、左右に直線状に延びるリブ状の摘み部３１−１が突設されている。この摘み部３１−１は、図７に示すように排除することもできる。 Further, in the slide fastener of this embodiment, a gap concealing member 30 which is a characteristic constituent member of the present invention is slidably attached between the two sliders 20a and 20b. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the gap concealing member 30 includes upper and lower plate portions 31 and 32 and a connecting portion 33 that connects the upper and lower plate portions 31 and 32 at a predetermined interval. The upper and lower plate portions 31 and 32 have the same outer peripheral shape, and in the illustrated example, the upper and lower cut portions 31a, which are cut in a quadratic curve shape that narrows the center portions of the two opposite sides of the rectangular plate material toward the back, respectively. 32a is formed. The shapes of the cut portions 31a and 32a are made to follow the curved shapes of the respective shoulder mouth side ends of the upper and lower blades 22 and 23 of the sliders 20a and 20b. However, the upper edge portion of the cutout portion 31a of the upper plate portion 31 is projected with a flange portion 31c that fits the shoulder side end portions of the upper blades 22 of the sliders 20a and 20b along the edge portion. It is installed. The lower plate portion 32 is not formed with the aforementioned collar portion. Further, a rib-shaped knob portion 31-1 that projects linearly from side to side is provided at the center of the upper surface of the upper plate portion 31. The knob 31-1 can be eliminated as shown in FIG.

そして、上下板部３１，３２の前記切除部３１ａ，３２ａが形成されていない対向辺には、それぞれ上下に向けて上下板部３１，３２と直角に互いが接近する方向に延びる左右一対の上下フランジ３１ｂ，３２ｂが形成されている。前記連結部３３は、前記上下板部３１，３２の左右幅中央部にあって、前記左右一対の各フランジ３１ｂ，３２ｂに平行に延びる矩形板状に形成されており、前記上下板部３１，３２、左右一対の上下フランジ３１ｂ，３２ｂ、及び前記連結部３３により囲まれる空間が、左右のファスナーストリンガーの各ファスナーエレメント案内路Ｐを形成する。このファスナーエレメント案内路Ｐと、左右の上下フランジ３１ｂ，３２ｂとの間に形成されるテープ案内間隙Ｄとをもって、本発明のファスナーストリンガー挿通路が構成される。 A pair of left and right upper and lower plates extending in the direction in which the upper and lower plate portions 31 and 32 face each other at right angles to the upper and lower plate portions 31 and 32 are respectively formed on opposite sides of the upper and lower plate portions 31 and 32 where the cut portions 31a and 32a are not formed. Flange 31b, 32b is formed. The connecting portion 33 is formed in a rectangular plate shape extending in parallel to the pair of left and right flanges 31b and 32b at the central portion of the left and right widths of the upper and lower plate portions 31 and 32. 32, a space surrounded by the pair of left and right upper and lower flanges 31b and 32b and the connecting portion 33 forms each fastener element guide path P of the left and right fastener stringers. The fastener stringer insertion passage of the present invention is configured by the fastener element guide path P and the tape guide gap D formed between the left and right upper and lower flanges 31b and 32b.

さて、以上の構成を備えた上記間隙隠蔽部材３０が、その上下板部３１，３２の切除部３１ａ，３２ａを上記第１及び第２スライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの各肩口Ｆに向けて、上述の構成を備えたスライドファスナー本体１の左右ファスナーストリンガー１５に装着される。この間隙隠蔽部材３０は、上述のようにファスナーエレメント案内通路Ｐ及び前記テープ案内間隙Ｄ、すなわち本発明のファスナーストリンガー挿通路を有していることにより、上記スライダー２０と同様に、上板部３１の上面摘み部３１−１を摘んでスライドファスナー本体１０をファスナーエレメント列１３に沿って摺動させることができる。いま、この間隙隠蔽部材３０をスライドファスナー本体１０の任意の位置に止めた状態で、前後の第１及び第２スライダー２０ａ，２０ｂを摺動させて同間隙隠蔽部材３０の上記切除部３１ａ，３２ａに衝接させると、図５に示すように各スライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの上翼板２２の肩口側端部が前記間隙隠蔽部材３０の上切除部３１ａに形成された上記庇部３１ｃに嵌着する。 Now, the gap concealing member 30 having the above-described configuration is configured as described above with the cut-out portions 31a and 32a of the upper and lower plate portions 31 and 32 directed toward the shoulders F of the first and second sliders 20a and 20b. Are attached to the left and right fastener stringers 15 of the slide fastener body 1 having the above. As described above, the gap concealing member 30 has the fastener element guide passage P and the tape guide gap D, that is, the fastener stringer insertion passage of the present invention. The slide fastener body 10 can be slid along the fastener element row 13 by gripping the upper surface knob 31-1. Now, with the gap concealing member 30 stopped at an arbitrary position of the slide fastener body 10, the front and rear first and second sliders 20a, 20b are slid to cut the cut portions 31a, 32a of the gap concealing member 30. As shown in FIG. 5, the shoulder side end portions of the upper blades 22 of the sliders 20a and 20b are fitted into the flange portions 31c formed in the upper cutout portion 31a of the gap concealing member 30 as shown in FIG. .

このように各スライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの上翼板２２の肩口側端部が前記間隙隠蔽部材３０の庇部３１ｃに嵌着するため、各スライダー２０の肩口側端部の周縁を間隙隠蔽部材３０により被覆されるようになり、もし間隙隠蔽部材３０が介装されない時に生じる同肩口側端部間の間隙が間隙隠蔽部材３０により隠蔽されるため、左右のファスナーストリンガー１５間を上下に連通する間隙も隠蔽されて、同間隙を通じて例えば雨水や塵芥などの侵入が効果的に防止できる。また、仮に２個のスライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの各引手２６間を施錠したとき、前記間隙隠蔽部材３０が干渉して各スライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの間において肩口Ｆが上方に突出するように一対のファスナーストリンガー１５を折り曲げることをし難くして、それらのスライダー２０ａ，２０ｂをスライドファスナー本体１０が開く方向に強引に摺動させることも困難となる。その結果、例えば上記スライドファスナー１を装着した鞄類なども簡単にはスライドファスナー本体１０を開くことができず、前記間隙隠蔽部材３０の存在は盗難などの予防にも極めて有効である。 In this way, the shoulder opening side end portions of the upper blades 22 of the sliders 20 a and 20 b are fitted to the flange portions 31 c of the gap masking member 30, so that the periphery of the shoulder mouth side end portions of the sliders 20 is formed by the gap masking member 30. Since the gap between the end portions on the shoulder opening side when the gap hiding member 30 is not interposed is covered by the gap hiding member 30, the gap between the left and right fastener stringers 15 is communicated vertically. By being concealed, it is possible to effectively prevent, for example, rainwater and dust from entering through the gap. Also, a pair of fastener stringers such that when the gaps 26 between the two sliders 20a and 20b are locked, the gap concealing member 30 interferes and the shoulder opening F protrudes upward between the sliders 20a and 20b. It is difficult to bend 15 and forcibly slide the sliders 20a and 20b in the direction in which the slide fastener body 10 opens. As a result, for example, a bowl equipped with the slide fastener 1 cannot easily open the slide fastener body 10, and the presence of the gap concealing member 30 is extremely effective in preventing theft.

図８は、上記実施例１における間隙隠蔽部材３０の変形例を示している。この変形例によれば、上記間隙隠蔽部材３０の上板部３１に肩口端縁部に形成された上切除部３１ａの周縁の上記庇部３１ｃを上記連結部３３から更に後口側に突設すべく、前記庇部３１ｃと連結部３３との間に更に段部３１ｄを形成している。この段部３１ｄの形成により、第１及び第２のスライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの肩口が上方に向くようにスライドファスナー本体１０を曲げても、例えば図８に仮想線で示すように、両スライダー２０ａ，２０ｂは前記段部３１ｄにてそれ以上傾くことがなく、スライダー胴体２１が間隙隠蔽部材３０の前記連結部３３に接触することがなくなり、各スライダー２０ａ，２０ｂが間隙隠蔽部材３０から離れる方向に移動することがない。 FIG. 8 shows a modification of the gap hiding member 30 in the first embodiment. According to this modification, the flange portion 31c at the periphery of the upper cutout portion 31a formed on the upper edge portion of the shoulder opening on the upper plate portion 31 of the gap concealing member 30 protrudes further from the connecting portion 33 to the rear opening side. Therefore, a step portion 31d is further formed between the flange portion 31c and the connecting portion 33. Even if the slide fastener body 10 is bent so that the shoulders of the first and second sliders 20a and 20b face upward due to the formation of the step portion 31d, both the sliders 20a and 20a, 20b does not tilt further at the step portion 31d, the slider body 21 does not contact the connecting portion 33 of the gap hiding member 30, and the sliders 20a and 20b move away from the gap hiding member 30. There is nothing to do.

図９は本発明の実施例２である間隙隠蔽部材が取り付けられたスライドファスナーの要部を示す斜視図、図１０は同スライドファスナーの要部の一部を破断して示す上面図である。
上記実施例１との相違点は、上記間隙隠蔽部材３０の上板部３１の上面中央に突設したリブ状の摘み部３１−１に代えて係止部３４を設けた点にある。その他の構成は上記実施例１と実質的に変わるところがない。本実施例における前記係止部３４は、間隙隠蔽部材３０の前記上板部３１の上面中央部にあって左右のフランジ３１ｂに向けて延びる直方形の突部３４ａと、その突部３４ａの前後面の左右からそれぞれ前後に延出する各一対の計４本の係止杆３４ｂとからなる。左右の各係止杆３４ｂの先端には互いに接近する方向に突出するフック片３４ｂ−１が形成されている。 9 is a perspective view showing a main part of a slide fastener to which a gap concealing member according to a second embodiment of the present invention is attached, and FIG. 10 is a top view showing a part of the main part of the slide fastener in a broken state.
The difference from the first embodiment is that a locking portion 34 is provided in place of the rib-shaped knob 31-1 protruding from the center of the upper surface of the upper plate 31 of the gap concealing member 30. Other configurations are not substantially different from those of the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, the locking portion 34 is a rectangular projection 34a extending toward the left and right flanges 31b at the center of the upper surface of the upper plate portion 31 of the gap hiding member 30, and the front and rear of the projection 34a. Each pair includes a total of four locking rods 34b extending from the left and right sides of the surface. A hook piece 34b-1 protruding in a direction approaching each other is formed at the tip of each of the left and right locking rods 34b.

各左右のフック片３４ｂ−１は上面視で二等辺三角形状に形成され、スライダー２０の肩口Ｆが間隙隠蔽部材３０の上下切除部３１ａ，３２ａに当接するとき、スライダー２０の引手取付柱２５に摺接して弾性的に拡開し、同引手取付柱２５を乗り越えると原形に復帰し、図１０に示すように引手取付柱２５を抱え込むようにして係合し、各スライダー２０を後口側に移動させると同様の動きにより、係合が外れる。このように、本実施例ではスライダー２０ａ，２０ｂが間隙隠蔽部材３０に当接すると、係止杆３４ｂの先端に形成されたフック片３４ｂ−１が第１及び第２のスライダー２０ａ，２０ｂと係合して、その当接姿勢を維持し、前後に配されたスライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの間に形成される間隙の隠蔽を確実にする。 Each of the left and right hook pieces 34 b-1 is formed in an isosceles triangle shape when viewed from above, and when the shoulder opening F of the slider 20 abuts on the upper and lower cutout portions 31 a and 32 a of the gap concealing member 30, It slides into contact and elastically expands, and when it gets over the pull handle mounting column 25, it returns to its original shape, and engages with the pull handle mounting column 25 as shown in FIG. When moved, the engagement is released by the same movement. Thus, in this embodiment, when the sliders 20a and 20b contact the gap concealing member 30, the hook piece 34b-1 formed at the tip of the locking rod 34b is engaged with the first and second sliders 20a and 20b. In addition, the abutting posture is maintained, and the concealment of the gap formed between the sliders 20a and 20b arranged at the front and rear is ensured.

図１１は、上記実施例２における間隙隠蔽部材３０の変形例を示している。この変形例では上記係止部３４の中央突部３４ａを挟んでスライドファスナーの長手方向の前後から突出する係止杆３４ｂのうち、いずれか一方の左右の係止杆３４ｂを排除している。仮に第１スライダー２０ａ側の係止杆３４ｂを排除すると、係止杆３４ｂを有する側の切除部３１ａに嵌着する第２スライダー２０ｂは、その引手取付柱２５に間隙隠蔽部材３０の前記係止杆３４ｂが係合しているため、同間隙隠蔽部材３０は同スライダー２０ｂの摺動とともにスライドファスナー本体１０をファスナーエレメント列１６に沿って摺動する。そのため、第１スライダー２０ａを操作してスライドファスナー本体１０を開くときも、間隙隠蔽部材３０は同スライダー２０ｂの移動に伴って移動し、常に同スライダー２０ｂの移動位置へと移動することになる。一方、上記実施例２のように間隙隠蔽部材３０の前後に延設された係止杆３４ｂを設ける場合には、それぞれの係止杆３４ｂが第１及び第２スライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの各連結柱２４と係合しているため、一方のスライダー２０ａ，２０ｂのいずれかを係止杆３４ｂから外さないかぎり、どちらのスライダー２０ａ，２０ｂも間隙隠蔽部材３０を介して一緒に移動するため、単に第１又は第２のスライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの一方を摺動操作するだけではスライドファスナー本体１０を開くことができない。 FIG. 11 shows a modification of the gap hiding member 30 in the second embodiment. In this modification, one of the left and right locking rods 34b is excluded from the locking rods 34b protruding from the front and rear in the longitudinal direction of the slide fastener with the central protrusion 34a of the locking portion 34 interposed therebetween. If the locking rod 34b on the first slider 20a side is removed, the second slider 20b fitted to the cutout portion 31a on the side having the locking rod 34b is connected to the pulling attachment column 25 by the locking cover 30. Since the flange 34b is engaged, the gap concealing member 30 slides along the fastener element row 16 along the slide fastener body 10 as the slider 20b slides. Therefore, even when the slide fastener body 10 is opened by operating the first slider 20a, the gap hiding member 30 moves along with the movement of the slider 20b, and always moves to the movement position of the slider 20b. On the other hand, when the locking rods 34b extending in the front and rear of the gap hiding member 30 are provided as in the second embodiment, the locking rods 34b are connected to the connecting pillars of the first and second sliders 20a and 20b. 24, since either slider 20a, 20b moves together via the gap concealing member 30 unless one of the sliders 20a, 20b is removed from the locking rod 34b. The slide fastener body 10 cannot be opened simply by sliding one of the first and second sliders 20a and 20b.

図１２及び図１３は本発明の実施例３による間隙隠蔽部材４０の構造を示しており、図１４及び図１５は同間隙隠蔽部材４０がスライドファスナー本体１０に取り付けられたときの状態を示している。
この実施例による間隙隠蔽部材４０は、図１２及び図１３に示すように、矩形板材からなるフランジ４１ａ，４２ａ付きの上下板部４１，４２と、同上下板部４１，４２の間を連結する連結部４３と、上板部４１の上面の中央部に前記連結部４３と直交して延設され上面４４ａが円弧状に突出した縦壁部４４と、同縦壁部４４の前記上面４４ａに沿って湾曲する半円筒形の隠蔽部４５とから構成されている。この隠蔽部４５は前記縦壁部４４によって間隙隠蔽部材４０を前後に２分され、その前後端部は上板部４１の前後端よりも前後に張り出している。また、前記隠蔽部４５の内径は第１及び第２スライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの肩口部の左右最大幅よりも大きい。前記上下板部４１，４２と、左右一対の各上下フランジ４１ａ，４２ａと、連結部４３との間にエレメント案内通路Ｐを形成し、上下フランジ４１ａ，４２ａにはファスナーテープ１１のテープ挿通間隙Ｄが形成される。これらのエレメント案内通路Ｐ及びテープ挿通間隙Ｄが本発明のストリンガー挿通部を構成する。 12 and 13 show the structure of the gap hiding member 40 according to the third embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 14 and 15 show the state when the gap hiding member 40 is attached to the slide fastener main body 10. Yes.
As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the gap masking member 40 according to this embodiment connects the upper and lower plate portions 41 and 42 with flanges 41 a and 42 a made of a rectangular plate material and the upper and lower plate portions 41 and 42. The connecting portion 43, a vertical wall portion 44 extending perpendicularly to the connecting portion 43 at the center of the upper surface of the upper plate portion 41, and having an upper surface 44a protruding in an arc shape, and the upper surface 44a of the vertical wall portion 44 It is comprised from the semicylindrical concealment part 45 which curves along. The concealing portion 45 is divided into the front and rear ends of the gap concealing member 40 by the vertical wall portion 44, and the front and rear end portions of the concealing portion 45 protrude from the front and rear ends of the upper plate portion 41. Also, the inner diameter of the concealing portion 45 is larger than the left and right maximum widths of the shoulder portions of the first and second sliders 20a and 20b. An element guide passage P is formed between the upper and lower plate portions 41 and 42, a pair of left and right upper and lower flanges 41a and 42a, and a connecting portion 43. A tape insertion gap D of the fastener tape 11 is formed in the upper and lower flanges 41a and 42a. Is formed. The element guide passage P and the tape insertion gap D constitute the stringer insertion portion of the present invention.

かかる構成を備えた本実施例によれば、図１４及び図１５に示すように、肩口Ｆを対向して左右のファスナーストリンガー１５のファスナーエレメント列１６が挿通された一対の第１及び第２スライダー２０ａ，２０ｂが、それらのスライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの間に配され左右のファスナーストリンガー１５を挿通した前記間隙隠蔽部材４０に向けて、スライドファスナー１を閉じる方向に摺動させる。一対のスライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの各肩口Ｆの先端が前記間隙隠蔽部材４０の上下板部４１，４２に当接すると、各スライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの各肩口側端部は間隙隠蔽部材４０の半円筒状の上記隠蔽部４５の下方に位置するようになる。なお、本実施例では上記隠蔽部４５を半円筒状に形成しているが、例えば半角筒状に形成してもよい。 According to this embodiment having such a configuration, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, a pair of first and second sliders in which the fastener element rows 16 of the left and right fastener stringers 15 are inserted with the shoulder openings F facing each other. 20a and 20b are slid in the closing direction of the slide fastener 1 toward the gap concealing member 40 which is arranged between the sliders 20a and 20b and passes through the left and right fastener stringers 15. When the tips of the shoulders F of the pair of sliders 20a and 20b come into contact with the upper and lower plate portions 41 and 42 of the gap concealing member 40, the shoulder side ends of the sliders 20a and 20b are semicylindrical of the gap concealing member 40. It is located below the concealing portion 45. In the present embodiment, the concealing portion 45 is formed in a semi-cylindrical shape, but may be formed in, for example, a half-square tube shape.

その結果、各スライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの肩口側端部間に生じる間隙が間隙隠蔽部材４０の前後隠蔽部４５により隠蔽されるため、連結柱２４により拡げられた左右のファスナーストリンガー１５間を上下に連通する間隙も隠蔽されて、同間隙を通じて例えば雨水や塵芥などの侵入を効果的に防止するようになる。また、仮に２個のスライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの各引手２６間を施錠したとき、前記間隙隠蔽部材４０の隠蔽部４５と干渉して各スライダー２０ａ，２０ｂの間にて肩口Ｆが上方に突出させるように一対のファスナーストリンガー１５を折り曲げることは不可能となり、それらのスライダー２０ａ，２０ｂをスライドファスナー本体１０の開く方向に摺動させることができなくなり、例えば上記スライドファスナー１を装着した鞄類などにあって簡単にはスライドファスナー本体１０を開くことができず、盗難などの予防にも極めて有効である。 As a result, since the gap formed between the shoulder end portions of the sliders 20a and 20b is concealed by the front and rear concealment portions 45 of the gap concealment member 40, the left and right fastener stringers 15 expanded by the connecting pillars 24 communicate vertically. This gap is also concealed, and rain, dust, and the like are effectively prevented from entering through the gap. Further, if the space between the pulling handles 26 of the two sliders 20a and 20b is locked, the shoulder F protrudes upward between the sliders 20a and 20b by interfering with the concealing portion 45 of the gap concealing member 40. The pair of fastener stringers 15 cannot be bent at the same time, and the sliders 20a and 20b cannot be slid in the direction in which the slide fastener body 10 is opened. Thus, the slide fastener body 10 cannot be opened easily, and it is extremely effective in preventing theft.

図１６及び図１７は本発明の実施例４を示している。この実施例では、２個のスライダーのうち一方の第１スライダー１２０は、その上翼板１２１に本発明の特徴的構成部材である間隙隠蔽部材５０を一体に設けている。そこで、まず本実施例によるこの間隙隠蔽部材付きの第１スライダー１２０について図１を参照しながら具体的に説明する。
本実施例による第１スライダー１２０は、同図からも理解できるように、スライダー本体１２１、上下翼板１２２，１２３、同上下翼板１２２，１２３の肩口側の端部間を連結する連結柱１２４と、上翼板１２２の上面に立設された門型の引手取付柱１２５と、同引手取付柱１２５に取り付けられる引手１２６とを有しており、これらの構成自体は前記上翼板１２２を除いて従来のスライダーと本質的に異なるところはない。 16 and 17 show a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, one of the two sliders, the first slider 120, is integrally provided with a gap concealing member 50, which is a characteristic component of the present invention, on its upper blade 121. First, the first slider 120 with the gap concealing member according to the present embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIG.
As can be understood from the drawing, the first slider 120 according to the present embodiment is connected to the slider main body 121, the upper and lower blades 122 and 123, and the connecting pillars 124 that connect the ends of the upper and lower blades 122 and 123 on the shoulder opening side. And a gate-type handle attachment column 125 erected on the upper surface of the upper wing plate 122, and a handle 126 attached to the handle attachment column 125. Except for this, there is no essential difference from the conventional slider.

ここで、本実施例における本発明の特徴部である間隙隠蔽部材５０はＵ字状の板材からなり、前記スライダー本体１２１の上翼板１２２にあって、引手取付柱１２５の肩口側端部の一部を含んで前記間隙隠蔽部材５０を肩口側の前方に一体に延設している。この間隙隠蔽部材５０の開口側の内周面には、他方の通常の形状及び構造を有する第２スライダー２０の肩口側端部の外周面を嵌合する庇部５１が前記内周面に沿って湾曲して延在している。また、前記第１及び第２スライダー１２０，２０ｂの各上下翼板１２２，１２３，２２，２３間の高さと各板厚とは同一であるため、前記間隙隠蔽部材５０の板厚をスライダー本体１２１の上翼板１２２の上下高さの略２倍としている。図示例にあっては、前記庇部５１の下面から間隙隠蔽部材５０の下面までの高さは、丁度スライダー本体１２１の上翼板１２２の板厚と一致させている。 Here, the gap concealing member 50, which is a characteristic part of the present invention in the present embodiment, is made of a U-shaped plate material, is located on the upper wing plate 122 of the slider main body 121, and on the shoulder opening side end portion of the pulling attachment column 125. The gap concealing member 50 is extended integrally in front of the shoulder opening side including a part. On the inner peripheral surface on the opening side of the gap concealing member 50, a flange 51 that fits the outer peripheral surface of the shoulder opening side end portion of the second slider 20 having the other normal shape and structure extends along the inner peripheral surface. It is curved and extends. Further, since the height between the upper and lower blades 122, 123, 22, 23 of the first and second sliders 120, 20b and the plate thickness are the same, the plate thickness of the gap concealing member 50 is set to the slider body 121. The height of the upper wing plate 122 is approximately twice the vertical height. In the illustrated example, the height from the lower surface of the flange 51 to the lower surface of the gap hiding member 50 is exactly the same as the plate thickness of the upper blade 122 of the slider body 121.

さて、以上の構成をもつ第１及び第２スライダー１２０，２０ｂに、上記実施例１〜３と同様、その肩口Ｆを対向させて左右のファスナーストリンガー１３が挿通される。いま第１又は第２のスライダー１２０，２０ｂのいずれかを操作して相手方の第２又は第１スライダー２０ｂ，１２０の肩口端部に当接させると、図１７に示すように第２スライダー２０ｂの肩口側端部が第１スライダー１２０の上記間隙隠蔽部材５０の上記庇部５１の下面に嵌合する。その結果、上記実施例１〜４と同様の作用効果を奏するばかりなく、間隙隠蔽部材５０が別体ではなくスライダー本体１２１と一体化されているため、間隙隠蔽部材５０を単独で操作する必要がない。 Now, the left and right fastener stringers 13 are inserted into the first and second sliders 120 and 20b having the above-described configuration with their shoulders F facing each other as in the first to third embodiments. Now, when either the first or second slider 120 or 20b is operated and brought into contact with the shoulder end of the other second or first slider 20b or 120, as shown in FIG. The shoulder opening side end fits to the lower surface of the flange 51 of the gap concealing member 50 of the first slider 120. As a result, not only the effects similar to those of the first to fourth embodiments are obtained, but the gap hiding member 50 is integrated with the slider main body 121, not a separate body. Therefore, it is necessary to operate the gap hiding member 50 alone. Absent.

図１８は上記実施例４における第１スライダー１２０の変形例を示している。この変形例にあっては、スライダー本体１２１と間隙隠蔽部材５０とを異なる材質を使って一体化している。スライダー本体１２１の構成は、従来のそれと変わるところがなく、金属材料から作られる。一方の間隙隠蔽部材５０は、例えば合成樹脂又はゴム類から成形により作られることが好ましい。本変形例では２色成形の手法を用いて金属材料からなるスライダー本体１２１の一部に、エラストマー樹脂からなる間隙隠蔽部材５０を射出成形により成形一体化している。この成形時には、エラストマー樹脂を用いて、スライダー本体１２１の上翼板１２２の上面からその全周面の上部にかけて被覆して成形されるとともに引手取付柱１２５の全表面をも被覆して成形され、同時に上記実施例４における上記形状と同一の形状をもつ間隙隠蔽部材５０が成形される。 FIG. 18 shows a modification of the first slider 120 in the fourth embodiment. In this modification, the slider main body 121 and the gap hiding member 50 are integrated using different materials. The configuration of the slider body 121 is not different from that of the conventional one, and is made of a metal material. One gap concealing member 50 is preferably made by molding from synthetic resin or rubber, for example. In this modification, a gap concealing member 50 made of an elastomer resin is molded and integrated by injection molding on a part of the slider main body 121 made of a metal material using a two-color molding technique. At the time of molding, an elastomer resin is used to cover and mold the upper surface of the upper wing plate 122 of the slider body 121 to the upper part of the entire peripheral surface, and the entire surface of the pull attachment column 125 is also molded. At the same time, the gap concealing member 50 having the same shape as that in the fourth embodiment is formed.

図１９〜図２１には、本発明の実施例５による間隙隠蔽部材６０を備えた第１スライダー２２０ａと間隙隠蔽部材６０を備えない第２スライダー２２０ｂとが示されている。ここで、間隙隠蔽部材６０は引手を兼用している。また、第１及び第２スライダー２２０ａ，２２０ｂのスライダー本体２２１は同一の形状と構造を有している。そのため、第２スライダー２２０ｂの本体２２１を構成する部材に付す符号を第１スライダー２２０ａの本体２２１の対応する部材に付した符号と一致させている。以下の説明では、第１スライダー２２０ａを中心に説明する。 19 to 21 show a first slider 220a having a gap hiding member 60 and a second slider 220b not having the gap hiding member 60 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. Here, the gap concealing member 60 also serves as a handle. The slider main bodies 221 of the first and second sliders 220a and 220b have the same shape and structure. For this reason, the reference numerals assigned to the members constituting the main body 221 of the second slider 220b are made to coincide with the reference numerals assigned to the corresponding members of the main body 221 of the first slider 220a. In the following description, the first slider 220a will be mainly described.

第１及び第２スライダー２２０ａの本体２２１は、左右一対のフランジ２２２ａ，２２３ａを有する上下翼板２２２，２２３と、上下翼板２２２，２２３の肩口側端部を上下に連結する連結柱２２４と、上翼板２２２の上面にあって肩口側端部と後口側部分との間をループ状に上方に突出する門型の摺動操作柱２２５とを備えている。前記摺動操作柱２２５の中間湾曲部には左右に貫通する係着孔２２５ａが形成されている。第１スライダー２２０ａの前記摺動操作柱２２５の閉鎖空間には、本発明の特徴的構成部材である上記間隙隠蔽部材６０が、その一部を挿通して取り付けられる。この間隙隠蔽部材６０は、スライダーの引手をも兼用することから、後述する隠蔽部材本体６１は引手本体に該当する。 The main body 221 of the first and second sliders 220a includes upper and lower blades 222 and 223 having a pair of left and right flanges 222a and 223a, a connecting column 224 that vertically connects shoulder-edge ends of the upper and lower blades 222 and 223, A portal-type sliding operation column 225 is provided on the upper surface of the upper wing plate 222 and protrudes upward in a loop between the shoulder end portion and the rear opening portion. An engagement hole 225 a penetrating left and right is formed in the intermediate bending portion of the sliding operation column 225. In the closed space of the sliding operation column 225 of the first slider 220a, the gap concealing member 60, which is a characteristic component of the present invention, is inserted through a part thereof. Since this gap concealing member 60 also serves as a slider pull, the concealing member main body 61 described later corresponds to the pull main body.

前記間隙隠蔽部材６０の隠蔽部材本体６１は、図１９及び図２０に示すように、第１スライダー２２０ａの摺動方向に長い矩形板材からなり、その隠蔽部材本体６１の長手方向の一端にはＵ字状の取付環６２がループ状に延設され、この取付環６２を介して隠蔽部材本体６１を、第１スライダー２２０ａの摺動操作柱２２５の前後に沿って回動可能に取り付けられる。矩形板材からなる前記隠蔽部材本体６１の前記取付環６２が固着された端部中央に凹欠部６１ａが形成されるとともに、同凹欠部６１ａから長手方向に離間する位置に、間隙隠蔽部材６０を回動させたとき相手方の第２スライダー２２０ｂの摺動操作柱２２５を嵌入させるための矩形スリット状の嵌入孔６１ｂが貫通して形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the concealing member main body 61 of the gap concealing member 60 is made of a rectangular plate material that is long in the sliding direction of the first slider 220a. A letter-shaped attachment ring 62 extends in a loop shape, and the concealing member main body 61 is rotatably attached along the front and rear of the sliding operation column 225 of the first slider 220a via the attachment ring 62. A concave notch 61a is formed at the center of the end of the concealing member main body 61 made of a rectangular plate to which the mounting ring 62 is fixed, and the gap concealing member 60 is spaced from the concave notch 61a in the longitudinal direction. A rectangular slit-like insertion hole 61b for inserting the sliding operation column 225 of the second slider 220b of the other party is formed therethrough.

前記凹欠部６１ａは、図２０に示すように隠蔽部材本体６１を第２スライダー２２０ｂ側に回動して倒伏させて、前記嵌入孔６１ｂに第２スライダー２２０ｂの摺動操作柱２２５を嵌入させたとき第１スライダー２２０ａの摺動操作柱２２５と前記間隙隠蔽部材６０とが干渉しないように形成されている。また、前記凹欠部６１ａと前記矩形スリット状の嵌入孔６１ｂとの間の距離は、第２スライダー２２０ｂの摺動操作柱２２５を前記嵌入孔６１ｂに嵌入させたとき、その間に存在する隠蔽部材本体６１の一部によって、第１及び第２スライダー２２０ａ，２２０ｂの肩口側端部同士が当接したとき、その周辺に生じる全間隙を完全に隠蔽し得る十分な距離をもたせている。なお図示例によると、前記隠蔽部材本体６１の左右側端縁に沿って、同左右側端縁と直交し下方に向けて延出する側壁６１ｃを設けている。これは、第１及び第２スライダー２２０ａ，２２０ｂに側方から吹きつける雨水などの侵入を防止するのに役立つためである。しかし、この側壁６１ｃは必ずしも必要ではなく、隠蔽部材本体６１を単なる平坦材から構成することもできる。 As shown in FIG. 20, the recess 61a rotates the concealing member main body 61 to the second slider 220b side so as to lie down so that the sliding operation column 225 of the second slider 220b is inserted into the insertion hole 61b. In this case, the sliding operation column 225 of the first slider 220a and the gap hiding member 60 are formed so as not to interfere with each other. Further, the distance between the recessed portion 61a and the rectangular slit-shaped insertion hole 61b is such that the concealing member that exists between the sliding operation column 225 of the second slider 220b and the insertion hole 61b. A part of the main body 61 provides a sufficient distance for completely hiding all the gaps generated in the periphery when the shoulder side ends of the first and second sliders 220a and 220b come into contact with each other.
