Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A zip fastener chain comprised of a pair of stringer tapes of substantially endless length each having along their longitudinal edges alternate groups of fastener elements and element-free selvage portions.
  • the groups of fastener elements are interconnected by a strip of water-soluble film, the arrangement being such that there may be provided a space or element-free portion on an individual fastener without having to remove those fastener elements off.v the tapes as in conventional practice.
  • This invention relates to improvements in and relating to a continuous chain of zip fastener tapes carrying thereon a series of interlocking fastener elements spaced lengthwise at predetermined intervals.
  • a different type of fastener element chain is known which is provided with an elongated linear element portion or a spacer at intervals corresponding to the space or element-free section of stringer tapes.
  • Such type of fastener element chain also cannot evade the abovenoted difficulties since it is ultimately necessary to remove the spacer portions of the fastener elements after the same has been sewn on stringer tapes.
  • the invention is directed to the provision of a zip fastener chain comprising a pair of stringer tapes of substantially endless length each having along their longitudinal edges alternate groups of fastener elements and element-free selvage portions, characterized in that said groups of fastener elements are interconnected by a film of a water-soluble material.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a chain of interlocking fastener elements embodying the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a side view of the element chain of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of a chain of fastener stringers having attached thereon the fastener element chain of FIG. I;
  • FIG. MS a plan view of a modification of FIG. 1.
  • a fastener element chain 10 which comprises serially interconnected double groups 10a, 10b, 10c and so on of interengaged interlocking fastener elements E.
  • These elements are illustratively of a coil or a meandering form known in the art.
  • Adjacent groups of elements are spaced a predetermined distance D apart from each other and interconnected at their terminal ends 11 by a spacer 12 comprising a thin film of a water-soluble material such as for example polyvinyl alcohols. This distance D corresponds to an element-free selvage portion 15 of stringer tape T as shown in FIG. 3.
  • each spacer 12 is applied to cover one or more elements E at the terminal ends 11 of each element group 10a (10b or 10c) and bonded thereto either with an adhesive compound or by thermal fusion.
  • the spacer 12 can maintain the distance D correctly so that the elements E in each group are sewn stably along the longitudinal edges of opposed stringer tapes T in a fastener chain F.
  • the spacer 12 being water-soluble can be easily removed in contact with water and thus completely placed out of sight. This may be conveniently accomplished when the fastener chain is immersed in a dyeing bath as in the usual practice.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates another embodiment of the invention in which the film spacer 12 is applied to a chain of single groups of fastener elements.
  • a zip fastener chain comprising a pair of stringer tapes of substantially endless length each carrying along their longitudinal, edges alternate groups of fastener elements and element-free selvage portions, said groups of fastener elements being interconnected by a film of a water-soluble material.
