Definitions

  • An essential feature of the invention is that it is adapted for use with a ladder-type line of fastener elements such as shown in the U. S. Pat. No. 3,414,948 to Eric Cuckson and Arthur Jones.
  • a line of fastener elements comprising U- shaped elements having the ends of their legs connected respectively to two parallel cords. The presence of these cords in the assembly uniformly spaces the elements and gives them stability against tipping or other displacement.
  • FIG. I shows an apparatus embodying the invention in a front perspective view
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a transverse sectional view of the assembly taken at the stitching station.
  • FIG. 4 is a view of the final product.
  • FIG. 1 an apparatus embodying the invention is generally designated in FIG. 1. It is mounted on a sewing machine having a bed B and a needle N with thread T. Extending down from the sewing machine assembly is the presser foot shank S to which is adjustably attached at its lower end a mounting clamp 12 supporting the housing 14.
  • the housing 14 is enlarged at its rightward end as shown in FIG. 1, and its underside is formed with two upwardly directed channels 16 and 18.
  • the channel 18 includes the groove 20 for reasons which will appear.
  • the channels 16 and 18 are divided by a partition 22 which thickens at its frontward end 22a as the needle station NS is approached.
  • a window 24 in 2 the upper wall of the housing which permits a driving tongue 26 to protrude into the housing.
  • the tongue preferably has a rectangular motion pattern as shown.
  • the fabric F is placed on the bed 8 of the sewing machine. Adjacent the line of stitching, the bed B is formed with a ridge R.
  • the line of fasteners L comprises a plurality of U-shaped elements E, the legs of which are joined by stabilizing cords C. One leg may be formed with a projection P in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the cord. In the bight of each of the elements, there is formed a head H for inter-engagement with adjacent heads of a similar line.
  • the lines are placed with the heads of each element standing on the fabric adjacent the ridge R.
  • the lines are then fed into the housing with the legs respectively sliding through the channels l6, 18, projection P being received into the groove 20 and helping to hold the elements in place.
  • the thickening of the partition 22 at 22a wedges the legs of the U-shaped elements open so that they are spread, and by the time the elements reach the needle station NS (FIG. 2), the needle is able to come down between the legs (FIG. 3) and secure the elements by stitches near the head H to the fabric F.
  • the tongue 26 engages each of the elements E in step-by-step fashion to move them toward the needle station.
  • the resulting product as shown in FIG. 4, is a line of elements E stabilized by the cords C, stitched by thread T to the fabric F. This thus makes an invisible fastener of remarkable exactness and workability.
  • the fabric 1F may be folded as shown in FIG. 4.
  • a method of applying a line of slide fastener elements to a web of fabric comprising plastic U"-sh.aped elements, the ends of the U"-shaped elements being secured respectively to a pair of parallel stabilizing cords, the bights of the U-shaped elements each having an enlarged head adapted to engage between two adjacent identical heads on a similar line, the process comprising the steps of:
  • Apparatus for securing a line of slide fastener elements to a web of fabric wherein the line of slide fastener elements comprise plastic U-shaped elements, the ends of the U-shaped elements being secured respectively to a pair of parallel stabilizing cords, the bights of the U-shaped elements each having an enlarged head adapted to engage between two adjacent identical heads on a similar line
  • the apparatus comprising a sewing machine having a surface for supporting the fabric and line during the securing operation and having means for moving the fabric and line, presser foot means for holding down the fabric and line and means for guiding it during sewing, the guiding means comprising a pair of channels extending upward from the lower end of the presser foot means, the channels adapted to receive the rows of legs of the U-shaped elements respectively so that the LP-shaped elements are disposed on their heads on the fabric, the channels diverging as the sewing machine needle is approached to spread the legs of the elements so that the needle can stitch the elements to the fabric between the legs.
  • an attachment for sewing a line of U-shaped fastener elements of a slide fastener to a fabric web comprising a housing, means supporting the housing against the fabric over the sewing machine bed, the housing having in its under side a pair of sideby-side channels generally in line with the needle, the channels being adapted to receive the rows of legs respectively of the U"-shaped elements with the heads of the elements resting on the fabric, the channels diverging to spread the legs prior to the sewing operation so that the needle can stitch between the legs.
