Definitions

  • My invention relates to plastic zippers of the continuous filament type, and more particularly to an improved zipper fastener structure of the kind provided with means to shield the plastic filament against heat which might be applied with a hot iron in a laundering operation.
  • Continuous filament plastic zippers which have come into general use are either of the modified spiral coil type or of the type having a filament formed into zigzag or serpentine shape and then bent to U-form. Such filamentary structures are attached to a flexible supporting tape usually by stitching.
  • the base tape underlies the filament and a separate narrow tape is applied to the top surface and then the entire structure sewn together. This is usually adequate, but the making and attaching of a separate tape is too expensive.
  • FIG. 1 is a front view, partially broken away, of a zipper made in accordance with my invention
  • FIG. 2 is a cross section of my improved zipper with the two stringers separated
  • FIG. 3 is a cross section showing the stringers interengaged and also indicating how the slider fits on the stringers;
  • FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic view of a section of the unitary tape.
  • FIG. 5 shows the filament structure ready for assembling to the tape.
  • the plastic filament structure may be generally described as having a series of integrally united coupling elements with longitudinally aligned head portions 6 along the outer edge, spaced apart transversely extending leg portions 7 and 8 on each element, and bridging portions 9 along the inner edge of such structure connecting the leg portions of each element to those of adjacent legs.
  • tened textile cord 10 which in the embodiment illustrated, fills the major part of the coil without, however, interfering with the intermeshing of the head portions 6, in the manner seen in FIG. 3.
  • the terms inner and outer are used with particular reference to a single stringer as seen on either side of FIG. 2.
  • the supporting tape has a wide portion 11 on the underside of each filament structure, which extends beyond the inner edge of the filament a sulficient distance to provide means for conveniently attaching the zipper to an article of clothing or the like.
  • the tape also has a narrow portion 12 overlying themajor portion of the front of each coil structure, but not extending beyond the inner edge of the filament structure, such inner edge being indicated by the numeral 13.
  • the wide portion of the tape consists of interwoven warp and weft threads 14 and 15, respectively, and the narrow portion consists of warp threads 16 interwoven with the same weft threads 15. Between the wide and narrow portions of the tape, there is a section 17 which consists only of the weft threads 15.
  • the unitary tape is assembled with it by forcing the head portions of the coil through the connecting section 17. This may be readily accomplished because there are no warp threads in that section of the tape. Then, the narrow portion '12 is laid over against the front surface of the coil while the wide portion 11 is on the back side of the coil with the weft threads 15 in the connecting section of the tape passing through the coil between the convolutions thereof, behind the head portions 6 and in front of the flexible cord 11). In fact, these weft threads will bear against the front edge of the flexible cord. This affords greater strength than prior constructions because lateral stress is resisted by all of the weft threads bearing tightly around the cord.
  • this stitching is preferably located approximately midway of the widthof the narrow tape portion so that it will hold the front narrow section of the tape firmly against the plastic filament structure.
  • the type of slider commonly used in plastic fasteners ofthis type employs a front wing 19 havingside flanges 20, and a back wing 21. Since the narrow portion of the tape does not extend beyond the inner edge of the coil stucture, the flanges 20 of the slider will ride on atrack provided by the inner edges of the plastic filament, thus avoiding any excess wear on any portion of the fabric tape.
  • a zipper fastener stringer comprising (a) a filament structure forming a series of integrally united coupling elements with longitudinally aligned head portions along the outer edge of said structure, spaced apart transversely extending leg portions on each element and bridging portions along the inner edge of said structure connecting the leg portions of each element to those of adjacent elernents;
  • (d) means for holding said tape in position comprising stitching passing through said tape narrow portion, through the filament structure between said leg portions while at the same time penetrating through said flexible core and finally through said wide portion of the tape.
  • a stringer for zipper fasteners comprising (a) a filament structure in the shape of a generally flattened coil having a series of longitudinally aligned head portions along the outer edge for intermeshing with similar head portions of a companion stringer;
  • a unitary supporting tape having Wide and narrow portions, each consisting of interwoven warp and weft therads positioned against opposite sides of said coil, and a connecting section for said wide and narrow portions consisting of only weft threads passing across said coil behind said head portions and in front of said textile core, said wide portion extending a substantial distance beyond the back side of said coil while said narrow section does not extend beyond the back side of said coil;
