RESILIENT FASTENING DEVICE Filed March 15, 1965 INVENTORS 445551 nssso REA/E y. NEYMA/V Ob M SZZ United States Patent 3,403,427 RESILIENT FASTENING DEVICE Albert Asseo, 26 Rue la Fontaine, Paris, 16c, France, and Ren H. Neyman, 12 Rue Montcalm, Paris 18c, France Filed Mar. 15, 1965, Ser. No. 439,852 6 Claims. (Cl. 2473) The present invention relates to a resilient fastening device. More particularly, the invention relates to a fastening device for resiliently fastening a first portion of material to a second portion of material.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved resilient fastening device.
An object of the present invention is to provide a resilient fastening device which is adapted to be remov-' ably afiixed to first and second portions of material.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a resilient fastening device of simple structure and great facility and reliability in use.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a resilient fastening device of facile and inexpensive manufacture.
Another object of the present inevntion is to provide a resilient fastening device for resiliently fastening first and second portions of material with rapidity, facility, reliability and efiiciency.
In accordance with the present invention, a fastening device for resiliently fastening a first portion of material to a second portion of material comprises a first end portion adapted to be removably aifixed to the first portion of material and a second end portion adapted to be removably atfixed to the second portion of material. Each of the first and second end portions comprises a substantially thin strip of flat material folded over on itself and fastened in folded-over position to form a closed end loop and has a surface coated with adhesive. A resilient member couples the first and second end portions to each other and extends between the first and second portions of material. The resilient member comprises an endless loop of resilient material passing through the end loops formed in the first and second end portions.
In order that the present invention may be readily carried into effect, it will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a top view of an embodiment of the fastening device of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the embodiment of FIG. 1, taken along the line 22 of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a top view of the embodiment of FIG. 1 in use joining first and second portions of material to each other.
In the figures, the same components are identified by the same reference numerals.
The .resilient fastening device of the present invention comprises a first end portion 11 adapted to be removably affixed to a first portion of material 12, a second end portion 13 adapted to be removably affixed to a second portion of material 14 and a resilient member 15 coupling the first and second end portions to each other and extending between said first and second end portions.
The first end portion 11 comprises a thin strip of material, greatly exaggerated in thickness in FIG. 2, of rectangular parallelogram configuration folded over on itself to form an end loop 16. The folded strip portion 11 comprises a first leg 11a and a second leg 11b which are fastened to each other by any suitable means such as, for example, cement or glue, to close the end loop 16. The first end portion 11 has an adhesive surface 17, that is, a surface on which there is a coating of adhesive material. The adhesive material on the surface 17 permits the first 3,403,427. Patented Oct. 1, 1968 "ice end portion 11 to be removably afiixed to the first portion of material 12.
The first end portion 11 may comprise any suitable material such as, for example, thin pliant material of cellulose, plastic or any natural or artificial fibers. The length of the strip portion 11, extending in the direction of the arrows 18, the width of said strip portion, extending in the direction of the arrows 19, and the thickness of the said strip portion 21, may be of desired dimensions to suit the use to be made of the resilient fastening device.
At the time that the first end portion 11 is folded over on itself to form the end loop 16 and before the first and second legs 11a and 11b, respectively, thereof are fastened to each other, the endless loop 15 is positioned in the end loop 16. In other words, the first end portion 11 is folded over on itself around the endless loop 15. The endless loop 15 comprises resilient material such as, for example, rubber, of any suitable loop configuration such as, for example, ovular, circular or elliptical configuration.
The second end portion 13 comprises a thin strip of material, greatly exaggerated in thickness in FIG. 2, of rectangular parallelogram configuration folded over on itself to form an end loop 22. The folded strip portion 13 comprises a first leg 13a and a second leg 13b which are fastened to each other by any suitable means such as, for example, cement or glue, to close the end loop 22. The second end portion 13 has an adhesive surface 23, that is, a surface on which there is a coating of adhesive material. The adhesive material on the surface 23 permits the second end portion to be removably afiixed to the second portion of material 14.
The second end portion 13 may comprise any suitable material such as, for example, thin pliant material of cellulose, plastic or any natural or artificial fibers. The length of the strip portion 13, extending in the direction of the arrows 24, the width of said strip portion, extending in the direction of the arrows 25, and the thickness of the said strip portion 26, may be of desireddirnensions to suit the use to be made of the resilient fastening device. The first and second end portions 11 and 13, respectively, may be identical with each other.
At the time that the second end portion 13 is folded over on itself to form the end loop 22 and before the first and second legs 13a and 13b respectively, thereof are fastened to each other, the endless loop 15 is positioned in the end loop 22. In other words, the second end portion 13 is folded over on itself around the endless loop 15.
The resilient fastening device of the present invention has many applications and considerable utility such as, for example, in packing or Wrapping any types or configurations of material, in resiliently maintaining a bandage or surgical dressing in position on a person without slippage regardless of movement of the person, in resiliently maintaining another type of article such as, for example, a disposable diaper, on a baby, and the like. The first portion of material 12 and the second portion of material 14 may each be part of a bandage or a dressing, or the first portion of material 12 and the second portion of material 14 may each be part of a disposable apron type article, or the like.
The first and second portions of material 12 and 14 are resiliently joined to each other by first pressing the first end portion 11 with its adhesive surface 17 against said first portion of material, then pulling the second end portion 13 away from said first end portion to stretch the resilient loop 15, and then pressing the second end portion 13 with its adhesive surface 23 against said second portion of material. The first end portion 11 then adheres to the first portion of material 12, the second end portion 13 adheres to the second portion of material 14, and the resilient loop, as a result of elastic deformation,
then applies a sufiicient pressure to draw the first and second portions of material to each other and thereby maintain said first and second portions of material in non-slipping relation to each other.
The first and second end portions 11 and 13 may be removably aflixed to the first and second portions of material 12 and 14 without stretching the resilient loop 15, so that said first and second portions of material may be loosely fastened to each other. By positioning the first and second end portions 11 and 13 at different distances from each other, in the direction of. the length thereof, the degree of stretching and the degree of pressure applied by the resilient loop 15 may be varied from zero to a maximum.
The resilient fastening device of the present invention may thus perform the functions of any fastening device such as, for example, straight pins, safety pins, buttons and button-holes, snap devices, pressure devices and the like, with the added advantages of adjustability of the tautness and pressure exerted by the fastening device, facility, rapidity, reliability and efficiency in use of the fastening device, simplicity of structure and facility and economy in manufacture.
Each of the first and second end portions 11 and 13 may comprise material of any desired configuration other than that of a rectangular parallelogram such as, for example, triangular, square or other geometric configuration. Also the resilient loop 15 may be of any desired configuration and may have any desired cross-sectional shape.
While the invention has been described by means of a specific example and in a specific embodiment, we do not wish to be limited thereto, for obvious modifications Will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
