Definitions

  • the present invention relates to zippers. More particularly the present invention relates to new continuous interlocking elements for zippers as well as to a method for manufacturing zippers and to apparatus for performing the method.
  • interlocking elements for zippers are made in various shapes such as hooks, serpentine rows, stud links, etc. They may be combined in a zipper to form integrally connected rows of elements or individual interlocking elements or may be spacedly arranged in rows and fixed to the edge of a carrier tape.
  • the known zippers have inherent disadvantages.
  • the spaces between the contact areas of the elements must be smaller than the width of the individual elements in order to assure locking and the necessary resistance to accidental opening.
  • preformed wire or strip has to be employed, whereas round wire cannot be used.
  • a further disadvantage resides in the difliculties in volved in maintaining uniform spacing of conventional locking elements especially with zippers made of plastics.
  • the elongated interlocking elements of the zipper of the invention are composed of a plurality of longitudinally consecutive members.
  • the members of each element are constituted by a single length of elastically resilient elongated material. Longitudinally consecutive sections of this length of material constitute in each member, in order, a first connecting portion in common with an adjacent other member, a first leg portion, a head portion, a second leg portion, and a second connecting portion in common with another adjacent member.
  • the several portions are elongated, and the leg and head portions extend in a common plane transverse of the direction of elongation of the element.
  • the two leg portions have respective substantially parallel foot parts adjacent the respective connecting portions, and the remainders of the leg portions flare from the respective foot parts toward the head portion in a direction away from each other.
  • the elements of the invention can be made of round wire which is manufactured more easily and at lower cost.
  • wire of non-circular cross section can be employed as well.
  • plastic threads or wire are used, these are preferably manufactured from polyamide, polyurethane, or polyester resin and pre-stretched before they are shaped into interlocking elements.
  • the members of the elements can have any desired shape. They should include a head portion for the interconnection of two elements. These head portions may each have an enlarged center portion.
  • the interlocking elements of the present invention can be fastened to the zipper tape very easily and without employing auxiliary elements by means of a common lock seam, a zig-zag seam or a chain stitch seam.
  • FIGURE 1 is a lateral view of a portion of an interlocking element of the invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a sectional plan view of the element of FIGURE 1 taken on the line II-H in FIGURE 3;
  • FIGURE 3 is a sectional view of the element of "FIG- URE 1 taken on the line IIIIII;
  • FIGURE 4 is a top plan view of a detail of the device of FIG. 1;
  • FIGURE 5 is a sectional view of a modification of the element of FIGURE 3;
  • FIGURE 6 is a sectional view corresponding to FIGS. 3 and 4 of another modified element wherein the legs of the individual members are asymmetrical;
  • FIGURES 7 through 9 illustrate various fastening methods for fastening the interlocking elements of the invention to the zipper tape.
  • FIGURES 1 to 6 show continuous interlocking zipper elements the legs 2, 2', 2" of which are disposed approximately perpendicularly relative to the longitudinal median plane 1 of the assembled zipper.
  • the foot parts 3, 3', 3" of the legs are joined by conecting pieces 4 each of which is common to two adjacent members of the interlocking element.
  • the connecting pieces 4 intersect the main plane of extension 5 of the zipper which is spacedly parallel to the zipper tape as will become presently apparent, and perpendicular to the median plane 1.
  • the two legs of each interlocking member are connected to a contact or head portion 6 carrying a center portion 8 which is flattened and tapers toward the two ends of the head.
  • the foot parts 3 of the legs 2 of the same member are closely spaced in substantially parallel alignment, whereas the major portions of the legs flare from each other towards the lateral ends of the head portion 6.
  • the foot parts 3' of the legs 2' are closely spaced in parallel alignment and are provided in their outward sides with grooves 9 which receive a sewing thread when the element is sewn to a zipper tape.
  • FIGURES 1 to 5 are symmetrically formed with respect to the main plane 5. It is, however, also possible to make the legs non-symmetrical with respect to any plane perpendicular to the direction of elongation of the head portion 6 as shown in FIGURE 6. Both legs 2" are fastened to the same side of a zipper tape 10.
  • FIGURES 7 to 9 show respective zipper sections in top view. They are held together by interlocking elements according to FIGS. 1 to 4, 5, or 6. These figures also illustrate methods of fastening the interlocking elements to the zipper tape.
  • FIGURE 7 the elements are respectively fastened to the tape 10 by means of a single row of lock switches 11, whereas in the example of FIGURE '8 they are fas- 3 tened to the tape by means of a respective seam of chain stitches 12; in FIGURE 9 the interlocking elements are secured to tapes by means of zig-zag stitches 13.
  • an elongated interlocking element composed of a plurality of longitudinally consecutive members and constituted by a single length of elastically resilient elongated material, longitudinally consecutive sections of said length of material constituting each of said members, in order, a first connecting portion in common with an adjacent other member, a first leg portion, a head portion, a second leg portion, and a second connecting portion in common with another adjacent member, said portions being each elongated, said leg portions and said head portion extending in a common plane transverse of the direction of elongation of said element, said first and second leg portions having respective substantially parallel foot parts adjacent the respective connecting portions, and the remainders of said leg portions flaring from the respective foot parts toward said head portion in a direction away from each other.
  • leg portions and head portion of each of said members having a plane of symmetry longitudinal of said element.
  • one of said foot parts being formed with an open groove, the open side of said groove facing away from the other foot part of the respective member.
  • tape means and a row of stitches securing said element to said tape means, said stitches passing over the foot parts of said plurality of consecutive members substantially in the direction of elongation of said element, and being secured to said tape means intermediate adjacent ones of said foot parts.
