Definitions

  • the fastener stringers can be pulled smoothly back through the slider because then the fastener stringers can be draped down in a streamlined manner relative to the slider due to the angle at which the latter is set with respect to the plane of the horizon.
  • This invention relates generally to slide fasteners, and in particular to a method of attaching a slider to a fastener chain after the same is secured to the edges of an opening in a garment or like article.
  • fastener elements capable of elastic deformation.
  • Such fastener elements are formed of synthetic resin monofilaments, such as those of polyamide or polyester, and are either coiled or zigzagged in shape.
  • the fastener stringers secured to an article are manipulated through the guide channels in the slider one after the other.
  • the resultantly interlocked rows of fastener elements in wrong relative positions are then manually separated from each other so that the fastener elements are still held interlocked only at their portions within the slider which is now located at one extremity of the fastener stringers.
  • one of the stringers is forcibly pulled through the slider by taking advantage of the elastic deformation of the fastener elements.
  • the two fas tener stringers be pulled in a fastener closing direction through the slider so that the latter will be positioned at or adjacent that point on the stringers where a bottom stop is to be affixed.
  • This bottom stop is secured to the required point after pulling the fastener stringers back again through the slider in a fastener closing direction.
  • This latter method is currently preferred because it facilitates the assembly operation of the slide fasteners, without requiring undue attention to the correct alignment of the fastener elements.
  • a slider is first placed upside down on a slider mount which is disposed at an angle to the plane of the horizon, with the bottom end of the slider directed downwardly.
  • a pair of fastener stringers secured to an article are then threaded one after the other through the respective guide channels in the slider, and the fastener stringers are forcibly pulled downwardly through the slider to readjust the relative positions of the misfitting fastener elements by taking advantage of their elastic deformation.
  • the fastener stringers are pulled back upwardly through the slider in a fastener opening direction.
  • the fastener stringers with the attached elements are permitted to pass smoothly therethrough.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of an example of slider holder adapted for use with the method of this invention, the view also showing dies for securing a bottom stop to a pair of fastener stringers after attachment of a slider thereto;
  • FIG. 2 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view on enlarged scale of the slider holder shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIGS. 3A to 3E inclusive are fragmentary top views sequentially illustrating the steps of attaching a slider to a pair of fastener stringers in accordance with the method of the invention
  • FIG. 4 is a side view explanatory of the mode of use of the slider holder according to the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a top view also explanatory of the mode of use of the slider holder according to the invention.
  • the exemplified slider holder includes a support structure having a slider mount 11 on its top.
  • the slider mount 11 is recessed as best shown in FIG. 2 to securely support a slider 12 placed upside down thereon, and a channel 13 extends vertically downwardly from the recessed slider mount through the support structure 10 to telescopically receive a pull tab 14 of the slider.
  • a lever 15 turnably supported at 16 on one side of the support structure 10 has a detent 17 adapted to project into the usual opening formed in the slider pull tab l4 and hence to lock the slider in position on the slider mount 11.
  • the lever 15 is provided with suitable stop means, such as that indicated at 18 in FIG. 1, for normally holding the same immovable in the illustrated position to prevent any accidental unlocking of the slider 12 during assemblage of a fastener chain therethrough.
  • the general surface of the slider mount 11 on the top of the support structure 10 is formed at an angle to the plane of the horizon as in the drawings, for purposes which will be made more apparent from the following description of the method of the invention.
  • the slider I2 is first placed upside down on the sloping slider mount II. with its bottom end 19 (defining an outlet opening opposite to the neck of the slider) directed downwardly as best shown in FIG. 2, and is locked in position by the detent l7 projecting into the opening of its pull tab 14. Thereafter a fastener chain or a pair of fastener stringers 20 and 21 already secured to parts of a garment or like article 22 are assembled through the slider 12 in the sequence illustrated in FIGS. 3A to 3E.
  • one of the fastener stringers, 20 for example. is first threaded through the correspond ing guide channel in the slider 12, and then the other fastener stringer 21 is likewise threaded through the other guide channel, as indicated by the arrows in the drawing.
  • the resultantly mismatched fastener elements 23 and 24 on the beaded inside edges of the fastener stringers 20 and 21 are then separated from each other all the way up to the bottom end 19 of the slider, as shown in FIG. 38. so that the elements 23 and 24 are now interlocked only at their portions within the slider.
  • the fastener stringer 2l which has been threaded later through the slider 12 is then forcibly pulled downwardly therethrough by taking advantage of the elastic deformation of the elements interfitting within the slider, until the upper extremities of the fastener stringers 20 and 21 are aligned as shown in FIG. 3C.
  • the fastener elements 23 and 24 on both fastener stringers are now properly interlocked within the slider.
  • fastener stringers 20 and 21 together with the article 22 to which they are attached are pulled upwardly. that is. in a fastener opening direction, through the slider 12. so that as seen in FIG. 3D the slider is located at or adjacent that point on the fastener stringers where a bottom stop is to be affixed.
  • the fastener stringers are now substantially fully opened.
  • the fastener stringers 20 and 21 are again pulled back through the slider 12 in a fastener closing direction so that the lower end portions of the closed stringers are placed in position on the lower one of dies 25, FIG. 1, adapted to affix the bottom stop 26 thereto.
  • the lever 15 of the slider holder shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is then turned after releasing the stop means 18, and the article 22 with the fastener stringers and the slider and bottom stop attached thereto is withdrawn from the slider holder.
  • a method of attaching a slider having a pair of elongated guide channels to a pair of fastener stringers which are secured to an article and each of which have a row of interengagable elastic fastener elements disposed along a longitudinal edge thereof, comprising the steps of:
