Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a surface fastener having male engaging elements composed of plural hook pieces which engage mating loop-like female engaging elements on one surface of its flat base member and invasion preventing means at least along right and left side edge portions in a longitudinal direction of the base member for blocking an invasion of a molding resin material into an engaging-element forming region when this product is molded.
  • the surface skin material when the surface skin material is set along an inner surface of the mold, it is adsorbed by means of adsorption means.
  • the surface skin material When the surface skin material is deformed following a surface of a cushion body having a complicated configuration, the surface skin material needs to be itself of material having an excellent potential to be stretched.
  • many wrinkles are likely to occur particularly between a seating surface and a peripheral side surface and up to now, great efforts have been made to remedy this phenomenon.
  • an engaging-element forming surface of a surface fastener is placed and fixed on a projecting surface portion on a bottom of a mold corresponding to a concave surface of a cushion body so that the engaging-element forming surface is opposed to the projecting surface portion and then an expandable resin material is poured in the mold so as to mold the cushion body in an expanded state while the surface fastener is buried in and integrated with the concave surface of the cushion body with the engaging elements exposed outside.
  • the expandable resin material is prevented from flowing into an engaging-element forming region.
  • the surface skin material made of various kinds of materials such as pile woven/knit fabric, natural leather and synthetic leather formed in a shape of a bag corresponding to an outer shape of the cushion body is applied to the cushion body molded by the above-mentioned way. Then, female engaging elements disposed on a rear surface of the surface skin material are pressed against the engaging-element forming surface of the surface fastener integrated with the cushion body so that the surface skin material is bonded and fixed along the concave surface of the cushion body and prevented from rising from the cushion body.
  • the surface fastener has been formed continuously in a form of a tape. Even in this case, longitudinal invasion preventing walls are formed integrally along right and left side edge portions in a width direction of a surface fastener so that a number of engaging elements formed on a single side of a flat base member are surrounded from right and left sides in the same way as in the U.S. Pat. No. 5,766,723.
  • the permanent magnet or magnetic body is usually formed in a form of a tape, linear shape or stripe, and a material that is excellent in plasticity such as synthetic resin mixed with a ferrite magnet or magnetic powder is used.
  • a material that is excellent in plasticity such as synthetic resin mixed with a ferrite magnet or magnetic powder is used.
  • the magnetic body a thin tape material or wire made of steel is used and this material is buried in the base member at the same time when the surface fastener is molded.
  • an uneven surface composed of an appropriate curved surface is formed on a surface of the seat in order to secure a seating posture thought to be most favorable from human engineering viewpoints.
  • a configuration of this uneven surface, particularly a length thereof is not constant but varies.
  • the molded surface fastener is integrated with a cushion body along the concave surface portion of a seating surface of the cushion body having the uneven surface.
  • the long molded surface fastener needs to be cut out to a predetermined length before use. Since a cutting position at this time is determined depending on the length of the concave surface portion, a cutting length is not always same. Consequently, the surface fastener often has to be cut out within the engaging-element forming region in a section partitioned by the lateral invasion preventing wall with a predetermined number of engaging elements.
  • the expandable resin material invades into a cut engaging-element forming region and thus, the engaging elements in the region are buried in the expandable resin.
  • the engaging elements in the region in which the expandable resin material invades loses its function as engaging elements and as a consequence, a binding force originally demanded as a surface fastener cut into a predetermined length cannot be secured.
  • intervals between the lateral invasion preventing wall formed in adjacent sections and adjoining engaging elements interposing the lateral invasion preventing wall is usually equal to an interval between the engaging elements formed in the engaging-element forming region. Further, since no engaging element exists in these intervals and the lateral invasion preventing wall is thick, no binding force is exerted. As a result, it becomes more difficult to obtain a desired binding force.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a tape-like continuously molded surface fastener capable of suppressing an invasion of an expandable resin material into an engaging-element forming region to its minimum extent even if it is cut at an arbitrary position in a longitudinal direction so as to secure an absolutely necessary binding force.

Then, preferably, respective wall portions of two or more rows of the longitudinal wall portions are divided at a predetermined pitch in the longitudinal direction of the base member by gaps, and the gaps between the respective wall portions adjoining in a row direction are arranged in a houndstooth shape.
  • a first wall portion of two or more rows of the longitudinal wall portions is disposed adjacent to the sectioned engaging elements, a height of the first wall portion from the base member surface is substantially equal to a height of the lateral wall portion which is the second resin invasion preventing means from the base member surface, and a height of part of a longitudinal wall portion disposed outside the first wall portion is set equal to or less than the height of the first wall portion.
  • the molded surface fastener having such a structure is preferably integrated with the cushion body of an automobile seat, a sofa and an office chair in particular.
  • the second resin invasion preventing means of the present invention comprises the engaging elements, reduction in binding force due to an existence of the lateral invasion preventing wall which can be seen in a prior art can be eliminated.
  • the second resin invasion preventing means comprises the lateral wall portion extending continuously in the width direction of the base member surface and plural engaging heads provided on the top portion of the lateral wall portion and extending backward or forward from the front and rear wall surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the base member, the lateral wall portion blocks the invasion of the expandable resin into the engaging-element forming region and the engaging heads having a same configuration as those of the engaging elements formed in the engaging-element forming region is bound with female engaging elements on a rear surface of a surface skin material. Consequently, a required binding force is secured by complementing a bonded portion that does not conventionally exist.
  • the height of the lateral wall portion from the base member surface is set larger than the height of a highest vertex of the engaging elements extending from the lateral wall portion while the height of the vertex of plural engaging heads formed on the lateral wall portion from the base member surface is set substantially equal to the height of the vertex of the engaging heads of engaging elements formed in the sectioned region from the base member surface, the expandable resin trying to invade into the engaging-element forming region adjoining across the lateral wall portion can be blocked securely by the lateral wall portion.
  • the engaging elements extending from the lateral wall portion also engage the female engaging elements provided on the rear surface of the surface skin material with a same engagement ratio as engaging elements formed in other sectioned regions.
  • the first resin invasion preventing means formed on the right and left side edge portions along the longitudinal direction of the base member surface comprises two or more rows of longitudinal wall portions arranged in line with the interval along the width direction of the base member and the interval formed between the respective longitudinal wall portions of adjoining rows is formed as an aisle having a predetermined length in the passage direction of the expandable resin.
  • each wall portion of each of two or more rows of longitudinal wall portions is divided by the gaps at a specified pitch in the longitudinal direction of the base member and gaps between the respective division wall portions adjoining in the row direction are arranged in the houndstooth shape.
