  • the fastener members 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 are in known manner produced by a stamping operation. These members comprise a coupling head 2 which is provided with a recess 3 and a coupling projection 4. Each fastener member 1 has formed thereon two outwardly bent hook-shaped legs 5 and is symmetrically shaped with respect to the plane a of the stringer tape (see FIG. 4). The lateral surfaces of the head 2 of the fastener member are slightly beveled at the edges.
  • the two stringer tapes 6, which carry the fastener members, are formed in two parts. Each part of the stringer has an edge bead 7.
  • the two stringer parts 6 are inserted each with their edge head 7 in one of the hook openings, the leg 5 being pressed against the head 2 of the fastener member 1 in such a manner that the stringer tape portion surrounding the end portions of the hooks emerges from the member 1 approximately at the position of the longitudinal center plane I) of the separable fastener extending at right angles to the stringer tape plane a.
  • this arrangement results in that the opposite stringer tapes 6 contact each other laterally of the coupling heads 2 in the longitudinal center plane b of the separable fastener when the latter is in closed position.
  • a separable fastener covered on both sides is thereby obtained, in which the fastener members are covered-up by the stringer tapes themselves and not by cover-strips attached to the latter.
  • the members 1 of the embodiment according to FIG. 6 are tapered at their end remote of the head 2 and terminate into a slightly rounded tip. Otherwise, the fastener members 1 of this example are formed similar to the first described example and are likewise secured to two-piece stringer tapes 6.
  • the fastener members 1a, 1b illustrated in FIG. 7 is formed in two pieces while the stringer tape 8 provided in this design is made of a single continuous band.
  • the hooks 9 provided on the part 1b of the fastener member enter with their projections 9a into corresponding recesses in the part 1a of the fastener member, whereby a safe connection between the two member parts 1a, 1b is insured.
  • the hook ends surrounds by the stringer portions are disposed so that the two stringer tape ends emerge from the fastener member laterally of the head 2 approximately at the level of the longitudinal center plane b of the separable fastener.
  • the result is thereby obtained that the opposite stringer parts emerging from the fastener members at both sides of the head 2 contact each other in the longitudinal center plane b of the fastener when the latter is in closed position.
  • the fastener members 1a, 1b are formed of two parts while the stringer tapes 8 each are in one piece.
  • the hooks 9 of the fastener member part 1b engage corresponding recesses of the part 111 by means of the projections so that a secure union of the two fastener member parts 1a, 1b retaining the stringer tape 8 between themselves will be obtained.
  • the stringer tape is of the same thickness throughout its length, an additional projection 9b provided on the part 1b engaging a corresponding recess in the part 1a of the fastener member in order to insure that the stringer tape is positively locked in place between said parts of the fastener member.
  • the stringer tape 8 of the example shown in FIG. 9 has a thickened portion 8a which insures a safe anchoring of the stringer tape between the parts of the fastener member.
  • the one-piece fastener member 1 shown in FIGS. 10 to 15 is stamped from sheet metal strips.
  • the member 1 shown in FIG. 10 comprises two fastening legs 10 which are symmetrically arranged with respect to the stringer plane d of the separable fastener and slightly spread apart in outward direction. Inserted between these legs 10 and the head 2 of the fastener member 1 are the two parts of the edge head 11!: thereof positioned in a corresponding recess provided in the fastener member.
  • the legs 10 are then forced against the head 2 of the fastener member, thereby gripping the end portions of the stringer so tightly within said member that they leave the fastener member 1 approximately at the level of the longitudinal center plane b of the separable fastener.
  • the fastener member 1 comprises initially somewhat spread-apart fastenings legs 10 which are arranged symmetrically with respect to the stringer plane a and will be forced inwardly against the head 2 of the fastener member after the stringer parts 11 have been inserted.
  • the length of the legs 10 is again selected so that the stringer parts 11 emerge from the fastener members 1 approximately at the level of the longitudinal center plane b of the separable fastener.
  • slots 10a are punched into the blank and extend in outwardly inclined direction towards the longitudinal center plane b, into which slots the edge bead 11a of the parts of the two-piece stringer tape 11 will be inserted. Then the legs 10 are inwardly urged so that the stringer parts leave the fastener member 1 approximately at the level of the longitudinal center plane b of the separable slide fastener (FIG. 15).
  • fastener members for separable fasteners covered on both faces have the advantage of necessitating only a relatively small deformation of the hook or legs of the fastener members after the stringer tapes have been inserted, since the free ends of the hooks or legs are already directed towards the longitudinal center plane b of the separable fastener prior to the insertion of the stringer parts.
  • fastener member is provided in the examples according to FIGS. 16 to 32.
  • the fastener member 1 initially comprises two legs 12 projecting from the head 2 and symmetrically formed with respect to the stringer plane a. Between head 2 and legs 12 the member 1 has a lateral contraction 13 into which the two parts of the two-piece stringer tape 14 are inserted with their respective edge beads 14a. The two legs 12 are subsequently outwardly bent by approximately 180 in order to provide hooks tightly clamping the stringer parts against the fastener member 1 so that the stringer parts emerge from the fastener member 1 laterally of the head 2 approximately at the level of the longitudinal center plane b of the separable fastener (FIG. 17). An analogous arrangement is used for the examples shown in FIGS. 18, 19 and 20, 21. Apart from the somewhat different formation for head 2, contraction 13 and fastening legs 12, the fastener members shown here are formed similar to the one illustrated in FIGS. 16, 17.
  • FIGS. 22 to 32 have one-piece fastener members 1 and also one-piece stringer tapes 15.
  • the fastener member 1 indicated in FIG. 22 has shoulders 16, formed by a reduced width of the section below the head 2, and fastening legs 17 initially projecting from the head 2 and symmetrically arranged with respect to the plane a of the Stringer tape. These legs 17, in producing the separable fastener according to the invention, are slipped through a slot 18 provided in the one-piece stringer tape 15 (see FIGS.
  • the stringer tape 15 employed in this case is of equal thickness throughout its entire width, contrary to the stringer tape 15 which is provided in the example according to FIGS. 26 to 28 and has formed therein a thickened portion 19 on each side of the slots 18. The thickened portions 19 tightly gripped between the shoulders 16 and the upwardly bent legs 17 of the fastener member 1 insure a safe connection of the fastener members 1 with the stringer tape.
  • the fastener member 1 provided in the example shown in FIGS. 29 to 32 initially has a form (FIG. 29) almost similar to the one of the previously described fastener member according to FIG. 22.
  • the legs 17 are here slipped each through a slot 20 in the stringer tape 15 and laterally bent in outward direction towards the longitudinal center plane b so that the two marginal portions of the stringer will emerge from the fastener member 1 approximately on the level of the longitudinal center plane b.
  • the stringer tape 20 Located between the two rows of slots 20 the stringer tape 20 has in this case a center bead 21 which is positioned at the outside of the fastener member 1 between the two upwardly turned legs 17.
  • FIGS. 33 to -35 illustrate two examples having two-piece fastener members 1a, 1b and two-piece stringer tapes 25.
  • the part 1a of the fastener member has a head 2 from which project two fastening legs 22 symmetrically situated with respect to the plane a of the stringer.
  • the free ends of the legs 22 are outwardly bent at right angles (FIG. 34) so that on the part 1a of the fastener member a contraction is formed into which the projections 23 provided on the arms 24 of the second part 1b of the fastener member are able to enter.
  • the two stringer parts 25 are clamped between the free ends of the arms 24 of the part 1b and the head 2 of the part 1a of the fastener member in such a manner that these par-ts 25 emerge from the fastener members 1a, 1b laterally of the head 2 approximately at the level of the longitudinal center plane b of the separable fastener.
  • the fastener member part 1a of the fastener member shown in FIG. 35 comprises a head 2, a neck 26 and a foot 27, the part 1b of the fastener member surrounding the neck 26 of the part In and simultaneously urging the two stringer parts 25 against the head 2 of the part 1a of the fastener member.
  • the whole arrangement is again such as to cause the stringer parts 25 to emerge laterally of the head 2, approximately at the level of the longitudinal center plane b, from the faster member of the separable fastener.
  • FIGS. 36, 37 show fastener members which are die-cast directly upon the stringer tapes.
  • a one-piece stringer tape 28 is provided which has two series of longitudinally spaced slots 29 and also a center bead 30 separating the two series of slots 29.
  • Fastener members 1 disposed symmetrically with respect to the stringer plane a are die-cast upon this tape in such a manner that the marginal portions of the tape 28 emerge on both sides of the head 2 approximately at the point of the longitudinal center plane of the separable fastener.
  • the fastener member 1 according to FIG. 37 is also die-cast upon a one-piece stringer tape 28 symmetrically to the stringer plane a, said tape 28 comprising a thickened center portion and a row of longitudinally spaced slots 31. Also here the arrangement is such as to cause the two marginal portions of the stringer tape 28 to leave the fastener member 1 laterally of the head approximately at the level of the longitudinal center plane b of the separable fastener.
  • the modification of the fastener member shown in FIGS. 39 and 40 differs from that shown in FIGS. 4- and 5 in that the heads 2 are provided with nose-shaped edges 2a at their side facing the foot of the fastener member, which edges together with the nose-shaped projections 5a of the hooks '5 insure that the edge beads 7 of the two-piece stringer tape 6 are securely locked in place within the fastener member 1. Since in addition between the arms of the hooks 5 and the projections 5a thereof a transition contour is provided which shows an obtuse angle and not an acute angle as in the fastener member shown in FIG. 1, the edge bead 7 perfectly fills the entire space left between the hook 5 and the foot of the fastener member. As shown in the FIGS.
  • the heads 2 of the fastener member are not symmetrically beveled with respect to the longitudinal center plane b at their respective sides, but formed so that the inclined surfaces 32, situated at the head side remote of the legs of a fastener member I of one of the rows, are somewhat set back with respect to the inclined surfaces 33 provided at the head side facing the legs of a member of the other row (FIG. 40).
  • the slider 34 with its top and bottom plate exclusively slides over the tape portions 6. This fact results in a smooth travel of the slider which is elfectively prevented from sticking to the fastener members, a defect often leading to damaging the closure member in separable slide fasteners of conventional design.
  • all described separable fasteners have fastener members which are symmetrically formed with respect to the plane of the stringer and secured to the stringer tapes such that their free end portions emerge from the fastener members laterally of the coupling heads approximately at the level of the longitudinal center the opposite stringer parts of the two stringer tapes of the fastener contact each other in the said longitudinal center plane of the fastener (FIG. 38). Consequently a separable fastener is produced which is perfectly covered on both sides.
  • the interlocking heads 2 of the fastener members 1 of the two rows are embedded between the stringer parts 6 in such a manner that they will not come out of engagement even if the separable fastener is sharply bent in its longitudinal direction.
  • a separable fastener covered on both sides according to the invention is also suitable for use on such articles of clothing (e.g. fiying suits) or containers which are to be subjected to internal pressure. This becomes immediately clear when viewing the fastener member arrangement shown in FIG. 5. If for instance an internal pressure acts upon the separable fastener in the direction of the arrow A, then the mutually contacting stringer parts situated at the outside of the fastener (in FIG. the top side) are urged apart from each other, which fact thus would automatically lead to leakiness of the separable fastener in case of a fastener being covered only at one side thereof. However, as may be easily understood, in the present case the mutually contacting inner stringer parts are tightly forced against each other by the internal pressure so that the separable fastener can be kept in perfectly sealed condition.
  • the numerals 35a, 35b represent the two parts of one of the stringer tapes while 36a, 3611 indicate the two parts of the other stringer tape.
  • a row of fastener members 1 is secured to each of the two stringers.
  • the leg of the fastener members 1 forms at each side a hook 37 (FIG. 44) as in the previously described examples.
