Abstract
Description
La présente invention se rapporte à une fermeture à glissière à arrêt inférieur automatique.The present invention relates to a zipper with automatic lower stop.
On entend par arrêt inférieur automatique un arrêt formé d'une partie mâle et d'une partie femelle fixées,respectivement,au bord de l'un et de l'autre des rubans-supports portant chacun,à son bord intérieur,une rangée d'éléments d'accouplement et formant une moitié de la fermeture.Les deux parties de l'arrêt sont fixées sur les rubans-supports en même temps que les éléments d'accouplement,par exemple par injection,et sont conformées de manière à pouvoir être accouplées par le curseur,lors de la mise en place de celui-ci par l'extrémité inférieure des deux moitiés de fermeture.By automatic lower stop is meant a stop formed by a male part and a female part fixed, respectively, to the edge of one and the other of the support ribbons each carrying, at its inner edge, a row of coupling elements and forming one half of the closure. The two parts of the stopper are fixed to the support bands at the same time as the coupling elements, for example by injection, and are shaped so that they can be coupled by the slider, when placing it by the lower end of the two closure halves.
Un arrêt inférieur automatique présente donc l'avantage, par arpport à un arrêt non automatique,c'est-à-dire un arrêt fixé après la mise en place du curseur,de permettre le moulage simultané de tous les éléments de la fermeture ainsi que les opérations de finissage(calibrage,brossage,traitement galvanique,émaillage,etc.)sans être gêné par la présence du curseur.An automatic lower stop therefore has the advantage, by comparison with a non-automatic stop, that is to say a stop fixed after the positioning of the slider, to allow the simultaneous molding of all the elements of the closure as well as finishing operations (calibration, brushing, galvanic treatment, enameling, etc.) without being hindered by the presence of the cursor.
Une fermeture à arrêt inférieur automatique fait l'objet du brevet 580 403.Cette fermeture comprend un arrêt inférieure automatique formé d'une partie mâle,d'une partie femelle et d'un taquet fixé à la suite de l'une de ces deux parties. Comme cela est visible aux Fig.2,3 et 6 du brevet susmentionné,ce taquet présente la forme d'un parallélépipède oblique, oblong comprenant deux faces opposées non rectangulaires.Il est fixé au bord du ruban-support de manière que ces faces soient sensiblement perpendiculaires au plan du ruban-support et par conséquent au plan de la fermeture.L'arête inférieure du taquet,qui relie les angles aigus de ses faces non rectangulaires,est émoussée de manière que la taquet présente,à son extrémité inférieure,un chanfrein.Ainsi,grâce à sa forme particulière et à la souplesse du ruban-support sur lequel il est fixé,le taquet peut s'orienter,par rapport au canal de guidage du curseur,de manière que ce dernier puisse être introduit par l'extrémité des deux moitiés de la fermeture et déplacé vers le haut.Lors de ce déplacement,il imprime aux 'deux rubans-supports et par conséquent aux parties mâle et femelle de l'arrêt inférieur,un mouvement de rotation l'une vers l'autre,autour des extrémités inférieures des rubans, donc provoque leur accouplement.An automatic lower stop closure is the subject of patent 580 403. This closure comprises an automatic lower stop formed by a male part, a female part and a cleat fixed after one of these two parts. As can be seen in Figs. 2,3 and 6 of the aforementioned patent, this cleat has the shape of an oblique, oblong parallelepiped comprising two opposite non-rectangular faces. It is fixed to the edge of the support tape so that these faces are substantially perpendicular to the plane of the support tape and therefore to the plane of the closure.The lower edge of the cleat, which connects the acute angles of its non-rectangular faces, is blunted so that the cleat has, at its lower end, a chamfer.Thus, thanks to its particular shape and the flexibility of the support tape on which it is fixed, the cleat can be oriented, relative to the guide channel of the cursor, so that the latter can be introduced by the end of the two halves of the closure and moved upwards. During this movement, it prints to the ' two support ribbons and consequently to the male and female parts of the lower stop, a rotational movement towards one another, around the lower ends of the ribbons, therefore causes them to be coupled.
L'arrêt inférieur automatique décrit ci-dessus présente l'avantage de pouvoir être appliquer aussi bien à une fermeture séparable qu'à une fermeture inséparable.Dans le premir cas,le taquet doit être fixé à la suite de la partie femelle à une distance telle que le coin du curseur pénètre entre les parties mâle et femelle avant que le curseur butte contre le taquet.Dans le second cas,le taquet doit être fixé à la suite de la.partie mâle à une distance telle que le curseur butte Contre le taquet avant-que son coin puisse attein- dre les parties mâle et femelle.The automatic lower stop described above has the advantage of being able to be applied to both a separable closure and an inseparable closure. In the first case, the cleat must be fixed after the female part at a distance such that the corner of the slider enters between the male and female parts before the slider abuts against the cleat. In the second case, the cleat must be fixed following the male part at a distance such that the slider abuts Against the cleat before its wedge can reach the male and female parts.
Or,dans certaines conditions d'utilisation de la fermeture,il peut arriver que l'adhérence aux rubans-supports des parties formant l'arrêt inférieur automatique ne soit pas suffisante pour empêcher que l'une ou l'autre de ces parties soit arrachée du ruban-support et la fermeture détériorée.Un tel arrachement peut se produire,par exemple dans les fermetures utilisées pour les valises ou sacs de voyage,bottes, etc.,notamment lorsque,la fermeture étant ouverte et le curseur buttant contre l'arrêt inférieur automatique,on soumet les deux moitiés de la fermeture à des forces de traction latérales,opposées,agissant dans le plan de la fermeture et dépassant les forces d'adhérence aux rubans-supports des parties formant l'arrêt.However, under certain conditions of use of the closure, it may happen that the adhesion to the support tapes of the parts forming the automatic lower stop is not sufficient to prevent one or the other of these parts from being torn off. backing tape and deteriorated closure. Such tearing can occur, for example in the closures used for suitcases or travel bags, boots, etc., especially when the closure is open and the slider abuts against the stop automatic lower, the two halves of the closure are subjected to lateral, opposite tensile forces, acting in the plane of the closure and exceeding the forces of adhesion to the support tapes of the parts forming the stop.
La présente invention a pour but d'obvier à l'inconvénient précité de la fermeture à arrêt inférieur automatique décrite ci-dessus.The object of the present invention is to obviate the aforementioned drawback of the automatic lower stop closure described above.
Acet effet,elle a pour objet une fermeture à arrêt inférieur automatique,comprenant deux moitiés formées chacune d'un ruban-support portant,à son bord intérieur,une rangée d'éléments d'accouplement,un curseur dont le déplacement dans l'un ou l'autre sens provoque l'accouplement,respectivement le désaccouplement des deux rangées d'éléments dac- couplement,et un arrêt inférieur automatique formé d'une partie mâle et d'une partie femelle fixées,'respectivement, au bord de l'un et de l'autre des rubans-supports,et d'un ta- quet fixé à la suite de l'une des deux parties et présentant la forme d'un parallélépipède oblique,caractérisée par le fait que l'extrémité de chacune des parties que comprend l'arrêt inférieur automatique,fixée de part et d'autre du ruban-support respectif,se prolonge,de chaque côté de ce dernier,par une languette ayant une épaisseur compatible avec la fente latérale du curseur et étant destinée à augmenter la surface d'adhérence aux rubans-supports respectifs des dites parties.Actually, its object is an automatic lower stop closure, comprising two halves each formed a support tape carrying, at its inner edge, a row of coupling elements, a slider whose displacement in one or the other direction causes the coupling, respectively the uncoupling of the two rows of elements dac- couplement, and an automatic lower stop formed by a male part and a female part fixed, 'respectively, at the edge of the one and the other of the stringer tapes, and a ta - quet fixed following one of the two parts and having the shape of an oblique parallelepiped, characterized in that the end of each of the parts which comprises the automatic lower stop, fixed on either side of the ribbon- respective support, is extended, on each side of the latter, by a tongue having a thickness compatible with the lateral slit of the slider and being intended to increase the area of adhesion to the respective support ribbons of said parts.

- Fig.2 shows the closure of Fig.l opened by a slider.
- Fig.3 is a plan view of the lower part of a closure according to the invention, in the closed position.
- Fig.4 is a section along line IV-IV of Fig.3.
La fermeture dont la partie inférieure est représentée aux Fig.l et 2 comprend,de manière connue,deux moitiés chacune formée d'un ruban-support 1 et 2 respectivement,portant à son bord intérieur renforcé par un cordonnet 3 et 4 respectivement,une rangée d'éléments d'accouplement 5 et 6 respectivement.A la suite des deux rangées d'éléments d'accouplement,la fermeture est munie d'un arrêt inférieur automatique du type décrit plus haut,c'est-à-dire d'un arrêt comprenant une partie mâle 7 fixée au bord du ruban-support 1, à la suite du dernier élément d'accouplement 5,une partie femelle 8 fixée au bord du ruban-support 2,à la suite du dernier élément d'accouplement 6,et d'un taquet 9 fixé au bord du ruban-support l,à une certaine distance de la partie mâle 7.Afin d'empêcher un déplacement relatif des parties mâle 7 et femelle 8,perpendiculairement à leurs plans et par conséquent leur séparation,la partie femelle 8 comprend une languette 8a destinée à s'engager dans une rainure 7a de la partie mâle 7,lors de l'accouplement des deux parties(Fig.4). La fermeture est munie d'un curseur 10.The closure, the lower part of which is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, comprises, in a known manner, two halves each formed by a
La Fig.2 montre la partie inférieure de la fermeture ouverte par le curseur lO,lors de son déplacement vers l'extrémité inférieure de la fermeture jusqu'à qu'il butte contre le taquet 9 de l'arrêt inférieur automatique.Lorsque les deux moitiés de la fermeture ouverte sont écartées exagérément,sous l'action des forces opposées agissant suivant les flèches F1 et F2 respectivement,il peut arriver,comme cela a été dit plus haut,que ces forces dépassent la force d'adhérence au ruban-support respectif au moins de l'une des parties formant l'arrêt inférieur et que celle-ci soit arrachée du ruban-support.Fig.2 shows the lower part of the closure opened by the
La Fig.3 montre la partie inférieure,en position fermée, d'une fermeture conforme à la présente invention, notamment selon la forme d'exécution préférée de celle-ci.Fig.3 shows the lower part, in the closed position, of a closure according to the present invention, in particular according to the preferred embodiment thereof.
Comme on le voit bien à la Fig.4, l'extrémité de chacune des deux parties,mâle 7 et femelle 8,fixée de part et d'autre du ruban-support 1 et 2 respectivement, se prolonge,de chaque côté de ce dernier,par une languette 7b et 7c,respectivement 8b et 8c,ayant une épaisseur compatible avec la fente latérale du curseur dont sera munie la fermeture et étant destinée à augmenter la surface d'adhérence au ruban-support et par conséquent la résistance à l'arrachement des parties mâle 7 et femelle 8.L'extrémité du taquet 9 est également prolongée par deux languettes dont l'une est visible à la Fig.3.As can be seen in FIG. 4, the end of each of the two parts, male 7 and female 8, fixed on either side of the
Dans la forme d'exécution représentée à la Fig.3,l'extrémité des éléments d'accouplement 5 et 6 qui précèdent, respectivement, les parties mâle 7 et femelle 8,fixée de part et d'autre du ruban-support respectif,est également prolongée par des languettes dont seules les languettes 5a et 6a sont visibles.à la Fig.3.L'augmentation de la résistance à l'arrachement des éléments d'accouplement précédant les par- 'ties mâle 7 et femelle 8,renforce la résistance à l'arrachement de ces dernières.Selon une autre forme d'exécution,non représentée,on augmante la surface d'adhérence seulement des parties formant l'arrêt inférieur automatique,c'est-à-dire des parties mâle 7 et femelle 8 et du taquet 9.Le choix de la forme d'exécution dépendra évidemment de l'usage auquel est destinée la fermeture,c'est-à-dire des forces latérales opposées auxquelles sont susceptibles d'être soumises les deux moitiés d'une fermeture ouverte.In the embodiment shown in Fig.3, the end of the
