Definitions

  • FIGJO A METHOD FOR PRODUCING TUGGED ZIP FASTENERS This invention relates to a method for producing a zip fastener having provided thereon a tag or label and has particularreference to a method for applying a series or train of tags one at a time successively onto a chain of zip fasteners.
  • zip fasteners which are provided with a tag indicating thereon the types, sizes, prices, instructions and so on to facilitate the identification of different product fasteners.
  • F IG. 1 is a perspective'view illustrating one embodiment of the invention forapplying a train of tags successively onto a chain of zip fasteners;
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a piece of tag folded halfway up when the fastener chain is cut to a product length
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a train of tags employed in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a plan view illustrating another method embodying the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the tag taken along the line VV of FIG. 4;
  • FIG. 6 is a plan view illustration still another method embodying the invention.
  • FIG. 7 is a plan view of a product zip fastener provided thereon with a tag according to the method of FIG. 1;
  • FIGJ8 is a plan view of another product zip fastener provided thereon with a tag according to the method of FIG. 4;
  • FIG. 9 is a plan view of still another product zip fastener provided thereon with a tag according to the method of FIG. 6;
  • FIG. 10 is a plan view illustrating a conventional practice for applying tags onto individually separated zip fasteners.
  • a method for producing tagged zip fasteners which essentially comprises aligning a train of tags in parallel with the plane of a chain of zip fasteners, each of said tags having a fold line along which it is foldable, feeding said train of tags in a direction at right angles to thedirection of movement of said fastener chain until said tags are brought one at a time successively into a predetermined position on said fastener chain, attaching an end of said tag onto said fastener chain with the fold lineof said tag lying adjacent to a cutting line of said fastener chain along which said chain is cut to a product length, cutting said fastener chain along said cutting line, and separating the thus attached tag from its train.
  • the zip fastener Fis of the usual construction comprised of two opposed stringer tapes 10 each carrying along one longitudinal edge thereof a row of interlocking elements 11, a slider 12 movable along these elements for opening and closing the stringer tapes 10, and end stops, viz. top end stop 13 and bottom end stop 14.
  • the tags to be applied onto the above fastener chain according to the invention are interconnected serially in side by side relationship in the form of a tag train 15.
  • Each individual tag or piece of tag 16in the train 15 has a width substantially equal to or slightly smaller than the width of the fastener F.
  • the tag 16 has a stem portion 17 at one end for securing the same, as by a staple 18, to the fastener chain and an opening or hook eye 19 at the opposite end for hanging an individual zip fastener F on a suitable support (not shown) for purposes of display.
  • the tag 16 is further provided with a transverse recess or groove 20 as indicated by broken line, which groove defines a fold line along which the tag is allowed to be folded on itself lengthwise of the fastener F.
  • the tag train 15 is provided with a plurality of transversely extending slits 21 which define separation lines between adjoining pieces of tags 16.
  • the train of tags 16 is fed intermittently in a direction at rightangles to the direction of movement of the fastener chain C, as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 1, until. a leading tag 16 is brought into superposed position on the chain C with its fold line lying adjacent to a cutting line 22 along which thechain is cut to an individual product length. In this position, a staple 18 is applied from above to the stem portion 17 of the tag 16 thereby.
  • the leading tag 16 is then separated from the rest of the tags in the train 15 followed by folding the tag 16 on itself halfway up as shown in FIG. 2 to expose to view the cutting line 22 so as to therealong.
  • the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is characterized in that the tags 16 are completely folded when they are permit the chain C to be cut supplied to the fastener chain C so that the chain can be cut simultaneously as the leading tug 16 is separated.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a further embodiment of the invention wherein the position of the tags 16 relative to the fastener chain C is inverted as compared to the embodiment of FIG. 1, so that the tag 16 attached to product zip fastener F assumes a folded position in use as shown in FIG. 9.
  • H6. 3 shows a train of tags 16 which are devoid of slits 21 and which may be employed according to the invention.
  • a method for producing tagged zip fasteners which comprises providing a train of tags each having a fold line along which it is foldable, feeding said train of tags in a direction at right angles to the direction of movement of said fastener chain until said tags are borught one at a time successively into a predetermined position on said fastener chain, attaching an end of said tag onto said fastener chain with the fold line of said tag lying adjacent to a cutting line of said fastener chain along which said chain is to be cut to a product length, separating the thus attached tag from its train of tags, and cutting said fastener chain along said cutting line.
  • a method for producing tagged zip fasteners comprising: providing both a series of connected together tags and a continuous length of fastener chain composed of a series of zip fastener sections each having fastener elements having stop members at opposite ends thereof; intermittently feeding said length of fastener chain along a path of travel to successively and intermittently position each zip fastener section in a common working position; intermittently feeding said series of connected together tags transversely to the feeding direction of said length of fastener chain to suecessively and intermittently superposition individual tags over the end portions of individual zip fastener sections when the latter are in said common working position; attaching the superposed tags to their respective zip fastener sections to form a tagged zip fastener section; and separating both each attached tag from the remaining series of tags and each tagged zip fastener section from the remaining length of fastener chain to form individual tagged zip fastener sections.
