Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in slide fasteners'of the type commonly referred to as Zipper fasteners.
  • a slide fastener of the type to which theinvention relates consists essentially of a pair of flexible tapes provided with scoops and a slider for meshing and unmeshing the scoops for respectively attaching and separating the flexible
  • This securing Ameans usually consists of a pin on the starting end of one ofthe tapes and some vform'of retainer for the pin on the corresponding end of the other tape.
  • Conventional slide fasteners have not included means .for separating the tape and the starting end except when the slider has reached its limit of movement toward the starting end.
  • Slide fasteners of the type illustrated in the foregoing patents are particularly advantageous for use 'on Wearing apparel such as coats, jackets, and the like. These arrangements permit 'complete closure of the fastener or partial closure s along a desired portion of the length of the fastener. Many of the advantages of the use of buttons on such apparel are thus obtained withoiit sacrificing the advantages of slide fasteners.
  • the pin on one of the tapes at the starting end of the fastener ' may be" int'entionally separated from its retainer While the yslider is at any intermediate position along the length of the fastener or While the slider is at the 'terminal end of the fastener. This separation permits unmeshing of the scoops and separation of the tapes from the starting end of the fastener 'to the slider.
  • the more conventional type of slide fasteners has scoops which can be ynal end of ythe fastener.
  • the primary objects ofthe present invention are to provide an arrangement Vfor slide fasteners of 'the'ty'pe discussed above which permits intentional separation of one tape 'from the slider While the slider vis at the terminal end 'of the fastener, 'which 'reduces the likelihood of unin- 'are referred vv ⁇ te in Vthe'fellovving detailed description which has reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:

  • Fig. ll is a sectional view taken in the direction of the arrows along the line I I-I I of Fig. 10;
  • Fig. 12 is a fragmentary view partly in front elevation and partly in section of the terminal end of a slide fastener embodying a further modification of my invention.
  • Fig. 13 is a similar view of the arrangement shown in Fig. 12 but illustrating the elements in position for withdrawal of one of the tapes from the slider.
  • the forms of the invention illustrated in Figs. 1 to 5 include a first tape
  • the tape I5 is provided with scoops I1 which are arranged to mesh with the scoops I8 on the tane I6.
  • a slider I9 which mav be conventional in this form of the invention, is provided for movement along the fastener for meshing and unmeshing ⁇ the scoops I1 and I8.
  • a pin is secured to the tape I5 at the starting end of the fastener.
  • the tape I6 is provided with a similar pin-like member 2
  • a casing 22 is pivotally secured to the member 2
  • the casing 22 is provided with a slot 24 for receiving the lower end of the tane I5 while the pin 20 is within the casing as illustrated in Fig. 3.
  • the casing 22 may be pivoted from the position illustrated in Fig. 3 to the position illustrated in Fig. 1 and the pin 2U is then released from its retainer and the scoops I1 and
  • 6 is provided with a slider stop 25 which is positioned closely adjacent the last scoop 8.
  • the terminal end of the tape I5 is provided with a sleeve 26 which is positioned not quite opposite the stop 25, but a little nearer the starting end of the fastener.
  • the upper end of the sleeve 26 is positioned approximately two scoops nearer the starting end of the fastener than the lower end of the stop 25,
  • the sleeve 26 is also positioned closely adjacent the last of the scoops I1 on the tape I5. In other words, no appreciable gap is left between the sleeve 26 and the last scoop I'I.
  • Fig. 2 This figure illustrates the scoops I 1 and I8 unmeshed. This unmeshing has been accomplished by pivoting the casing 22, releasing the pin 20, unmeshing the scoops
  • the sleeve 26 may be withdrawn from the slider I9 by merely moving the tape I5 in the direction of the arrow 21. This permits complete separation of the tapes I5 and I6.
  • 9 may then be moved to the starting end of the fastener along the tape I6 and the scoops I8.
  • the fastener is then in condition for reuse, it being only necessary to pivot the casing 22 to the pin retaining position shown in Fig. 3.

  • the tape 28 is provided with a pin 29.
  • Tape 30 is provided with a pin-like member 3
  • is provided with apertures 33 in which the casing 34 is pivoted.
  • the casing 34 is provided with a slot 35 for reception of the lower end of the tape 28.
  • the side walls of the casing are stamped to provide inwardly extending lugs 36 which are received in the apertures 33 in the member 3
  • is provided with a sleeve 42 which, in this instance, extends a substantial distance from the edge of the tape.
  • the sleeve 42 has a projecting portion 43 which eX- ytends toward the starting end of the fastener.
  • the slider 44 has conventional flanges 45 between which are received the tape 39 and which engage the rear ends of the scoops 46 on that tape.
  • the slider 44 also has flanges 41 which are of lesser length than the flanges 45. The length of the anges 41 and their positions are such that they are in juxtaposition to the projecting portion 43 of the sleeve 42 when the slider 44 engages the stop 4
  • the pin may be released from its retainer at the starting end of the zipper and the tapes separated by unmeshing the scoops to the slider 44.
  • the further modification illustrated in Figs. l2 and 13 also relates to the arrangement at the terminal end of the fastener.
  • the tape 49 is provided with a conventional stop 59.
  • is provided with a sleeve 52 which is similar to the sleeve 42 but which has no projecting portion.
  • the sleeve 52 is slightly spaced from the adjacent scoop 53 on the tape 5I.
  • the slider 54 is provided with flanges 55 which terminate above the lower end of the slider.
  • the slider is also provided with flanges 55 which extend from the bottom of the slider upwardly but which terminate below the level of the upper ends of the flanges 55. This arrangement is best illustrated in Fig. I2.
  • the slider is shown in engagement with the stop 50 and the upper ends of the flanges 56 are disposed slightly below the sleeve 52.
  • may be withdrawn from the slider 54 by tilting the slider in a counter-clockwise direction to the position illustrated in Fig. 13.
