Description
- (a) Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to zip fasteners and more particularly to a waterproof, open-end zipper, which effectively prevents relative displacement between the two zipper tapes.
- (b) Description of the Prior Art
- There are known various waterproof zippers designed for use on diving suits, raincoats, waterproof bags to prevent permeation of water. Similar designs are seen in U.S. Pat. No. 7,536,758, U.S. Pat. No. 2,777,181, U.S. Pat. No. 6,721,999, U.S. Pat. No. 7,574,780, etc. These designs commonly comprise two plastic zipper tapes, a first seal means and a second seal means respectively located at the zipper tapes, and a zipper slider movable to force the first and second seal means into engagement with each other, or to separate the first seal means from the second seal means, thereby closing or opening the zipper. These zipper designs use the first and second seal means instead of conventional interlocking coils. In order to prohibit relative axial displacement between the two zipper tapes, the tail ends of the two zipper tapes must be bonded together. Because of the limitation of the close-end design, these zipper designs are not suitable for use on jackets.
- There is also known seal member-based waterproof open-end zipper that provides a retainer located at the tail end of one zipper tape for detachably securing the tail end of the other zipper tape. However, the retainer is a metal cast member installed in the tail end of the zipper tape. Because the retainer has the drawbacks of complicated structure and large dimension, it creates bulky and unsmooth images when mated with the small box at the tail end of the other zipper tape. Further, when using the zipper, en extra step for operating the retainer to secure the tail end of the opposite zipper tape is necessary, complicating the application.
- The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is the main object of the present invention to provide a waterproof, open-end zipper, which effectively prevents relative displacement between the two zipper tapes.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a waterproof, open-end zipper, which provides a simple retaining structure including a locating rod at one zipper tape and a locating hole at the other zipper tape for receiving the locating rod to effectively prevent relative displacement between the two zipper tapes.
- It is still another object of the present invention to provide a waterproof, open-end zipper, which is so designed that when the user operates the zipper slider to force the two zipper tapes into engagement with each other, the zipper slide simultaneously forces a locating rod at one zipper tape into a locating hole at the other zipper tape to effectively prevent relative displacement between the two zipper tapes.
- To achieve these and other objects of the present invention, a waterproof, open-end zipper comprises a first zipper tape comprising a first engagement rail unit longitudinally located at one lateral side thereof, a second zipper tape comprising a second engagement rail unit longitudinally located at one lateral side thereof for engagement with the first engagement rail unit of the first zipper tape, a zipper slider coupled between the first zipper tape and the second zipper tape and slidable in one of two reverse directions to force the first engagement rail unit into engagement with the second engagement rail unit or to separate the first engagement rail unit from the second engagement rail unit, a box fixedly located at one end of the first engagement rail unit for receiving one end of the second engagement rail unit, a locating rod fixedly located at the first engagement rail unit of the first zipper tape near the box, and a locating hole located at the second engagement rail unit of the second zipper tape for receiving the locating rod after insertion of the second engagement rail unit into the box.
- The waterproof, open-end zipper of the present invention is practical for use on a waterproof device, such as diving suit, raincoat, jacket, etc. When closing the waterproof, open-end zipper, move the zipper slider to the box, and then insert the tail end of the second engagement rail unit of the second zipper tape through the zipper slider into the box. When inserting the second engagement rail unit through the zipper slider into the box, the locating rod at the first zipper tape will be forced into the locating hole at the second zipper tape to keep the tail end of the first zipper tape and the tail end of the second zipper tape together, preventing relative displacement between the first zipper tape and the second zipper tape. Further, the design of the box and the locating rod at the first zipper tape facilitates the operation of the waterproof, open-end zipper, achieving the effects of simple structure and cost reduction.
